=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === A lot of us as men have been discouraged from approaching, meeting and talking to women. That's rough enough in and of itself. But what's especially insidious is that this disastrous mindset often comes from the very pickup artist advice that was supposed to help, not make things worse. Well, what's ironically good news here is it's all based on a lie. So if we find ourselves stuck because we think all women are out to 'reject' us, not only is that simply not the case, but the kind of chick who we picture doing that is actually more of a unicorn than a typical woman. Check out the brand new Substack at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/substack

(00:01):
You're listening to Snippets from the Summit with your host Scot McKay.
All right, gentlemen, this is your main man, Scott McKay, and you're tuned in to yetanother episode of Snippets from the Summit as part of The Mountain Top Podcast from X & Y
Communications.
Gentlemen, before we jump into today's topic, I want to let you in on a pretty bigannouncement.

(00:24):
I am now on Substack.
You can go to mountaintoppodcast.com front slash Substack and get not only every episodeof this podcast dating back to episode 27,
And yes, that's in a world where Apple podcasts only carries the last 300 episodes.
You'll also have access to yes, all the legacy blog posts from the original educationblog.

(00:48):
Plus you'll also get special new posts from me that go way above and beyond anythingyou're going to read in my newsletters.
All of that and even more is now in one convenient place at mountaintoppodcast.com frontslash sub stack.
If you can indeed handle the truth, you're going to love my Substack called EduMcKayTionYes, it's the same title as my legacy blog, but you know what?

(01:13):
We live in a Substack world, not a blogosphere anymore.
And Substack seems to be my happy place.
I'm really enjoying it so far and I think you will too.
Everything I've talked about so far on Substack is absolutely free of charge.
However, if you become a paid subscriber and it won't break the bank guys, I'm tellingyou.
I'll not only give you the first 26 retired episodes of this particular podcast.

(01:38):
I'll also give you a sneak preview of the all new video version of the mountain toppodcast that yes is coming in about six weeks from the time I'm recording this.
So you'll be able to check out the first video episode before anybody else.
And it's a lot of fun.
I can't wait to roll out the video for you guys.
The first episodes we've done have been just amazing.

(02:01):
and a lot of fun, more humor than ever I might add.
I don't know why video lends itself to that, but it just seems to.
So why the wait?
Well, I do have a backlog of audio podcasts to present to you guys and the content in themis too good to pass up.
So indeed five or six weeks from now is when the video podcasts are going to roll out tothe masses.
But right now as a paid subscriber to the edumacation sub stack, you will get the veryfirst video episode and maybe a few others.

(02:30):
long before anybody else gets to see them.
If you sign up for an entire year at once, which again, isn't really going to be all thatexpensive, I'll not only give you everything I've talked about so far, I'll also give you
your choice of any one of the master classes for men that I've produced ever.
And those go for $97 by themselves, gentlemen.
And I'll just give you a hint.

(02:51):
A year long pass to the EduMcKayTion substack is a lot less than that.
So go to mountaintoppodcast.com front slash
substack and get you some.
So what's today's topic?
Well, now that we're getting around to it, finally, I'm going to call it doom fantasies.
And here's what I'm talking about.

(03:12):
Somewhere along the line, those men among us who really doubt that they could possibly besuccessful with women and therefore seem to constantly be searching for any manner of
excuse to offload the blame for that lack of success onto.
kind of latched onto a really weird yet consistent message from back in the pickup artistdays that somehow all HB10s, know, the hot babes who are a 10 out of 10 are exactly the

(03:38):
same.
And here's how they are.
They're all stuck up would be starlets in little black dresses with their noses in the airat some smoky noisy club in probably Los Angeles, especially if they're a starlet, but
maybe Miami or London.
If you're a UK bloke.
and they're in a little black dress and they're just sitting there waiting to reject menbecause they're just well so much better than everybody and so gorgeous and you're not

(04:04):
worthy of them that they just can't wait to reject you.
But here's the thing gentlemen, hardly any women in real life are actually like that.
And even if they are, they're only in that context of being in a smoky club a smallpercentage of their time.
So even the same woman, you know, under normal everyday circumstances might be completelydifferent than you're perceiving her in that club or even how she's acting in that club.

(04:30):
But nevertheless, it's kind of an aside there.
If they're stuck up and lack character and just kind of have that mean girl attitude, arethey really tens?
Well, there's your first window into where I'm going with all of this.
Gentlemen, there are women out there who are the girl next door, absolutely gorgeous,normal, trying to make the world a better place.

(04:51):
And what's more, they're smart, intelligent, and have enough character to realize that ifthey're a crappy person, they're not going to be living their best life.
If they do right, if they're friendly, if they're approachable, if they're kind, morepeople in general, men and women are going to like them and they're going to do better in
life in general.
Meanwhile, all of these women in little black dresses at clubs in New York or LA or Miami,who are allegedly just waiting to reject men, you know what?

(05:17):
They have a shelf life, just like the cynical guys talk about.
Once they start getting wrinkles, once they start getting older, ah what value will theyhave?
So when you get right down to it, there aren't a whole lot of women out there like intothe ones who frustrated guys want to offload all the blame on for their failure.
You can go to the grocery store.

(05:39):
You can go out for a walk in the park.
You can go most anywhere and meet normal, kind, friendly, and dare I say sane women whoare gorgeous.
They may not be putting themselves out there sexually like a stripper or some other womanwho's trying to look like a slut, but they're great women.
They're relationship material.
They'll treat you right.

(06:00):
They're not psycho and they're available all over the place.
Dare I say there are practically infinitely more women like the ones I just described thanthose unicorns who are standing around in a club in a specific city with a specific bad
attitude designed to well derail
men and any chance they have of getting with them.

(06:21):
Guys, let's hear it for normalcy, at least in terms of their mental health.
There are beautiful, gorgeous, kind women out there who want to do the right thing, are,well, get this, feminine on top of all else, instead of trying to appropriate masculinity
while somehow calling all of us toxic for being male.
None of that's ever made sense.
And guess what?

(06:41):
It doesn't make sense to the good women out there either.
They're looking for a great man who matches up with them.
And here's another thing.
the vast majority of women are not out there trying to reject you.
They're looking forward to meeting a great guy.
Most of them have warm, sunny personalities.
And if you talk to them, show them some respect, give them some space, they'll probably beincredibly easy to talk to.

(07:07):
It'll be very simple to make them smile and laugh.
And you will suddenly find yourself not so afraid to suggest that you spend more timetogether or gasp, even go out on a real date.
Boom!
Suddenly you won't need anymore excuses and instead of feeling like you need to offloadblame, you can finally offload the Doom fantasies.

(07:29):
Guys, stop this spiral of Doom.
Because it isn't reality.
It is a fantasy.
It's a Doom fantasy.
The reality is, men and women are indeed designed to be in partnership with each other.
That's the way it's always been.
No matter what media or even freaking chat GPT tells you,
nothing has changed.
We are still biologically male and female and we're designed to be together.

(07:53):
Drop the doom fantasy, give yourself a chance and what's more, give some women a chance toget to know the real you also.
Put me to the test on this because I'm right on the money, I promise you.
In fact, send me your success stories.
If you want to talk about this or anything else, scott at mountaintoppodcast.com.
Be good out there.
