The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
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 matter. In fact, the man who focuses accordingly is actually likely to be the one who gets ahead. How is present-day America affecting the mental health of our young...

Women And Attraction: The Doom Fantasy - SFTS71
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== 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...

The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
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 physical attraction matters (hence Zach's commitment to video dating), but how that works differs between men and women. It has been said that none of us should expect...

The Female Equivalent Of Slut-Shaming - SFTS70
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== 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, women have their own equivalent of 'slut shaming' that they go around weaponizing against us as men. And sure enough, most of us will go out of our way to not be accused...

Dealing With Your Ex (Or Hers) - MTP462
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Maybe Emily and I waited almost 20 years to cover this subject because it's a touchy one that hits just a little too close to home for both of us. But hey, it's an important one. How do you deal with your ex...especially if you're now in a new relationship? Check it out, there are at least three categories of ex that could still theoretically be haunting your life after a breakup or divorce. And you'd better believe we'll be covering how to handle the necessarily interactions with each type. But what if your new relationship is being...

Just Listen To Yourself...Literally - SFTS69
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's SFTS 69, dude. Back when you were a kid, when you mouthed off in class your teacher probably told you that 'you have two ears and one mouth for a reason'. Well, here it is: I flatly believe physiological design is irrelevant. I'm here to convince you that TALKING is at least as valid a way to learn as listening is. And yes, I can prove it. Want to make better decisions socially and professionally? Want to make sure you don't blow your chances with the woman you're attracted to? Open your mouth and TALK about it...whether that's with yourself or with...

Take A Deep Breath - MTP461
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
Co-Host Raj Khedun (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/raj) My first time guest Raj Khedun is one of the few and the proud who has turned his philosophy degree into a viable living. He's done that by helping men harness the power of their breathing. Now, before you dismiss this as yet another attempt to get guys to do yoga, hear Raj out. You see, too many of us as men let ourselves get all worked up over the little things in life--and can't seem to find our 'off' switch for the stress we compile--when our masculine edge is found in those moments we keep our cool even when the chips are down for...

Goal Oriented Vs. Girl Oriented - SFTS68
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === The pickup artist movement taught men a lot about attracting women and relating to them, but not all of it was positive. One of the most unfortunate PUA trends was encouraging men to be as goal-oriented in their dating lives as they're used to being in their professional lives. I mean, it all sounds good and makes sense from a masculinity perspective. But in the real world with real women, there's a far better strategy. It's not only more authentic, it WORKS. And surprise, surprise...it's not all that different from how we'd love women to treat us. More...

Overthrowing Family Law - MTP460
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
Co-Host Judith Kaluzny (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/judith) Plenty of us as men have not only had our run-ins with what's commonly known as the family law system, we feel as if we've been thoroughly shafted by it. Well, my guest is a retired divorce lawyer and mediator who is out to overthrow the family law system as we know it. Judith Kaluzny is the author of two books, Marriage License Handbook: Rules Of The Road For Getting Married and her upcoming one The American Way of Divorce: A Fraud on Families. Basically, Judith says we need to quit the systems designed with an adversary process...
info_outlineCo-Host Dr. Rick Kirschner (https:/mountaintoppodcast.com/rick) Everyone is talking about how to be healthier. The elusive quest for happiness is also a hot topic. But what if health and happiness are actually related? And which comes first? This is a conversation every man who expects to lead and succeed must have. And obviously, it's hard to be attractive to women if you're sickly and cranky. My guest Dr. Rick Kirschner famously wrote a book on how to deal with people we can't stand. How does THAT idea fit in to all of this? Next, Rick talks about how the 'sick care system' here in the United States is robbing so many of us of our happiness as well as our health, even from a shockingly early age. And what is the link between your blood sugar, your testosterone and your weight relative to your psychological and even spiritual well-being? I mean, is happiness itself a function of health? What is the 'triangle of health'? What is Rick's theory regarding what state brings about the best combination of health and happiness? How has the last decade or so in particular dramatically affected both our health and our happiness for the worse? Although it seems obvious that fear would destroy both health and happiness, it seems there's more fearmongering in the media and in society at large than ever before. What's up with that, and how do you stand up to it? And what about our lifestyle choices? Can some of those have a tangible impact on our happiness we might not even see coming? Why do so many dudes die right after they retire? Obviously, being unhealthy and cranky is a bad looks, so what are Rick's steps to keep us out of falling into that trap, or getting us unstuck if we're already in a rut?
