The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As you know by now, we're all about agency over victimhood around here. Too many of us as men adopt a poverty mentality when it comes to women, thinking that some other guy who won the proverbial 'genetic lottery' will get all the women instead of us. But ironically, many of us also believe in picking ourselves up by our bootstraps and taking personal responsibility when it comes to our education, o...

Co-Host Monica Tanner (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/monica) My first-time guest Monica Tanner is a relationship coach from Boise, Idaho and the author of a book called Bad Marriage Advice. Now, even though that seems like a pretty rough topic that's no fun at all, Monica has a way of making it fun to talk about. That means you can look forward to one of the most entertaining episodes in a while. First off, what's up with all of t...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === After two back-to-back Ten-Plus Live intensives here in San Antonio, the guys meeting women in-field have determined the exact same thing I have: everyone is out there socializing again. Our 'social muscles' have been toned back up into shape, people have rediscovered self-awareness and best of all...women are actually bolder and more fun in certain ways than EVER before. Even nightlife as we know i...

Co-Host Peter Moore (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/petermoore) There is much talk about the so-called Pandemic of Loneliness going on nowadays in post-modern culture. My first-time guest Peter Moore is the former editor of Men's Health Magazine and currently a columnist, writer and illustrator. Once his kids became teenagers doing their own thing and having left the Magazine, one day Peter woke up and realized he didn't have any c...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We're talking about how to meet women in today's brief episode. That's "women"...plural. Most of us as men have a hard enough time gathering the stones to approach and meet even one woman. But get this...after dozens and dozens of in-field Ten-Plus Live weekends with guys, it has been proven time and time again that it's actually EASIER to meet three, four or even five or six women at a time. Yes, I...

Co-Host Dr. Laura Sicola (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sicola) VIDEO VERSION: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/youtube My returning guest is Dr. Laura Sicola, TEDx speaker and author of Speaking To Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice. The last time she was on, we meant to talk about how to master your leadership voice, but instead ended up talking about how your name matters in dating and attraction. So as promised, she's ba...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's probably the harshest bit of dating truth out there: Whoever wants the relationship LEAST is in control. If you're in the habit of choosing vs. chasing in your dating life, you fully understand the notion. If you usually find yourself CHASING, however, you're probably trying to suspend your belief that it's true...and probably a little mad at me for even bringing it up. But here's the thing...w...

Co-Host G. Scott Graham (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/copilot) There's a lot of talk about men leading relationships compared to being henpecked by a dominant woman. But realistically speaking, shouldn't you and the woman of your dreams be co-equals in the relationship? But what does that mean? Do we as men need to back off from masculinity in order to make that happen? Well, in my humble estimation, my first-time guest Scott Gra...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === If you've ever bought or sold a home before, you're already familiar with the term 'curb appeal'. If your house doesn't have it, it languishes on the market. But if it does, buyers might end up fighting for it on day one. So, what if I told you there's a very real human equivalent? The better your human 'curb appeal', the more value you have to women and the more 'buying signals' you get. So what in...

Co-Host B.P. Greycastle (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/greycastle) It's a holiday weekend here in the US, so why not take a bit of a 'vacation' when it comes to topics? This time, we're going completely off the grid with my first-time guest B.P. Greycastle. He is the originator of a theory called 'name colorology', and the author of Your Name And Colors Key To Beauty, Career, Personality, Romance And Success. Basically, he believe...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Perhaps more than anyone else out there who talks and writes about relationships, Emily and I really advise against dating crazy people...no matter what. But sometimes it's not as easy as throwing a blanket over the word 'don't' and leaving it at that. In this episode, I finally elaborate upon some of the subtle ways crazy chicks will somehow find ways to get you to stick around...even when you know...

Co-Host Jason Fierstein (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/settling) With 8 billion people in the world, how can so many of us end up settling for a woman we never really wanted to begin with? On the surface, it would seem it's all about lacking the self-esteem to believe we deserve what we want. But there's more to it than that. My guest is psychotherapist and counselor for men Jason Fierstein from Phoenix, AZ. So then, what is the p...

=== On the surface, he's got nothing on you. He's no taller, better looking or wealthy. But for some reason even women wistfully muse how 'there's just something about that guy'. They can almost never describe it, but there's this unmistakable aura surrounding him, and they LOVE him and WANT him for it. Well, in this brief episode I'll explain just what's going on there. The best news of all is you don't have to have won the 'genet...

Co-Host Ayush Prakash (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/ayush) The 'generation gap' is nothing new. Boomers complained about how 'square' their parents were, and then Gen X complained about how lame their parents' music was. But with Gen Z it's a bit different. This generation is the first to grow up 'neuro-plastically connected to technology'. Those are the words of my first time guest Ayush Prakash, author of the new book called AI...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Almost every one of us as men gets sweaty palms when we see an attractive woman and want to go talk to her. No matter how much courage we may have in other areas of our life, the fear really tends to grip us in that situation, doesn't it? Well, what do all of us have in common that drives that fear? And what's more, what does EVERY man who has ever OVERCOME that fear have in common? The answer is di...

Co-Host Tom LaGrave (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/honor) My first time guest Tom LaGrave is a retired Navy SEAL, clinical therapist and founder of The Honor Bound Academy, an upcoming learning domain to give adolescents the proper rite of passage into adulthood. In a post-modern world where it seems like everyone is in it for themselves and the end justifies the means, Tom is all about reminding us that honor and character still ...

=== 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 ...

Co-Host Zach Schleien (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/spark) My returning guest Zach Schleien has founded dating companies and now serves as the General Manager of Matchmaking for Spark Networks. Over the course of his career, he's learned a thing or two about what attracts men and women to each other. So what are the mindsets, trigger and attitudes that make attraction happen at the primal, psychological level? Well, obviously phy...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Women go around constantly worried about being 'slut shamed'. I mean, it's one thing to be genuinely slutty. But too many of us as men shame women simply for being sexual creatures. It should go without saying that's counterproductive if we're trying to have a thriving sex life. But it's not like we as men are the only ones going around shaming MOTOS (members of the other sex). As it turns out, wome...
