Dating "Shape Shifters" - MTP477
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
Co-Host Cyndi Olin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cyndiolin) My long-time friend and erstwhile co-host for Dogs And Cats On Clubhouse is back, this time talking about a topic in one of her newsletters that caught my attention. She started talking about "shape shifters" in the dating world. Now, I realized up front she wasn't talking about "deer ladies" or something out there. This had to be figurative. So I had to have her on the show to unpack all of this. Well, for starters, things begin to go awry when we try to be someone we're not specifically to try to impress someone in particular....

New Change To The "Big Four" - SFTS84
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Remember last week I offered you every advantage over me when it comes to attracting women...except ONE. ICYMI, that led to the conclusion that the third pillar of the Big Four traits that universally attract women needed some adjustment. Well, after giving it some serious thought, the truth is times have changed and the NEW third pillar reflects the evolution of society over the past couple of decades since I first formulated the Big Four. On the surface, it's SO obvious you might be left shaking your head at first. But the hard truth is if you actually...

Your Wingman Rocks Powerpoint (Pitch-A-Friend) - MTP476
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
Co-Host Melissa Schipke (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/pitchafriend) By now, you know I'm on record with my firm belief that dating sites and apps are dead. About a month and a half ago I ran a Masterclass For Men detailing 40 different ways to use your smartphone and computer to meet women in IRL...NONE of which are dating sites and apps. Well, wouldn't you know it? There's a 41st. My new friend and first time guest Melissa Schipke stumbled upon a strange but fun idea for getting single people together while hanging out at an open mic night with BAD comedians! She told the owner of the venue...

I Will Grant You Every Advantage With Women Except One - SFTS83
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Let's have some fun today. Years ago, famous copywriter Gary Halbert challenged an entire audience, saying, "You and I are starting hamburger stands. I'll grant you every advantage over me except one, and I'll have a more successful business than yours." Well, since attracting women isn't too far off from marketing in a sense, I'll challenge you the same way. Grant me just ONE advantage over you, and you can have all the rest. Most of the time, I'll still get the girl. The good news, however, is when YOU co-opt that advantage for yourself, it lets YOU get the...

Resentment Wreckage: The Silent Assassin of Masculinity - MTP475
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
Co-Host Frank Kermit (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/franktalks) He's Frank because he has to be. After years and years, I finally have my long-time friend Frank Kermit back on the show. He has always been about straight talk when it comes to women, men, sex, dating and relationships...which is probably why he and I made friends immediately and that friendship has endured. In this long-overdue episode, we talk about the strange rise in bitter, hurt, resentful people--both men and women--and how so many of us got this way. Resentment is the quiet poison that eats men alive. It wrecks your...

Clouded By "Beauty Vision" - SFTS82
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Okay, so first off I'm not about to go off on a rant about how women can't be trusted. Far from it. Instead, this is about human nature in general. There are lots of areas of life where we'll keep allowing ourselves to get lied to rather than facing cognitive dissonance for what it is. Obviously, this can mess things up for us in this life. Nowhere is this phenomenon more dangerous than when it comes to our relationships with women. How does "hot girl privilege" leave us "clouded by beauty vision"? Even if we gain the wisdom and maturity to stop making lame...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Most men want to find a great girlfriend and live the dream with her.

The Medicalization Of Masculinity? - MTP473
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
Co-Host Dr. Craig B. Wiener (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wiener) My first time guest, Dr. Craig B. Wiener is a licensed psychologist and best selling author on a variety of topics. Central to today's episode, much of Dr. Wiener's important work has snowballed since he first questioned the growing tendency to make behavioral problems medical disabilities...especially for boys. His groundbreaking work with ADHD shows that the behaviors included in the ADHD diagnosis can become frequent due to reinforcement. This "medicalization of the social" is a topic of interest for all of us as men, for...

Success Factors With Women And Career - SFTS80
The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women
=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Many men are doing great in their careers, either ascending the corporate ladder or building a great business. But meanwhile, their success with women isn't quite where they know it deserves to be. Did you know there's an alarming similarity between what causes you to be successful at work AND with women? That's a huge reason why I coach men on BOTH areas of their lives. So this all adds up to the simple fact that if you're doing well at one, you should be crushing it in the other as well. If you're not, there's usually a simple mindset fix to get you on track....

So I had to have her on the show to unpack all of this. Well, for starters, things begin to go awry when we try to be someone we're not specifically to try to impress someone in particular. Then, we get generic dating or relationship advice that's allegedly "one size fits all" and we try to shoehorn it into what may be a rather unique situation...yet we're surprised when we get nowhere with it. So what's the deal here? Is it that we all have pretty much gotten really good at being politicians? And what's more, how are we supposed to make a woman feel safe and secure (and therefore attracted) if she can't even decipher who we really are? And the real fun starts when we talk about "shape shifting shadow dancing". What mental tricks do we play on ourselves when we believe all women must have impeccable social skills? And why is shape shifting actually harder and more complicated than going about dating and relating the right way? In the end, shape shifting is just another fear-based habit based on a fear-based mindset. So how do you escape it and approach radial authenticity instead?
