Co-Host Alex Allman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/howtoman) My long-time friend and returning guest Alex Allman came up with a fascinating topic that deserves every man's attention. What's up with women LIKING us, but not exactly LOVING us? I mean, the first thing we might think of is lukewarm first dates and tepid text conversations. But Alex jumps right in with the reality of how even people who are in marriages together can suffer through this phenomenon. How in the world does THAT happen? Well, as it turns out it's not always about someone having "settled". In fact, it might not even be...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We all know the "underground society" of pickups artists is LONG gone. Or is it? Some say they simply moved their sentiments over to the #MGTOW or "red-pilled" movements, hoping to fly under the radar with a rebrand. But I'm not so sure about that. After all, lately I've been hit with requests to pitch you guys on "new" products that look and feel exactly like something out of 2008. Could it be there's a belief out there that the new generation of guys will respond to exactly what the last generation did? Well, I personally believe a LOT has changed out there,...

Co-Host Cheryl Maida (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cheryl) How is Gen Z influencing dating and relating going forward? Regardless of who you are, this matters because it's going to affect YOUR relationships with women from now on. My first-time guest Cheryl Maida from matchmaking.com is here to talk about all the current trends, and what we can expect in months and years to come. First off, are dating apps truly dead...and if so, what's next? And whatever happened to "hookup culture"? We haven't heard anything on that in ages. Are people really less interested in sex than ever, or just more...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === What if you have absolutely no problem with women feeling safe around you, but somehow they're still not sexually attracted. Frustrating, right? Well, as it turns out, even though "making a woman feel safe and comfortable" is the linchpin of masculine/feminine polarity, there's a key component of that trait that makes women crazy over you as opposed to parking you in the dreaded "Just Be Harmless Zone". Find out exactly how that works--and what Rottweilers have to do with it--in this week's brief but powerful Snippet From The Summit. Have the newest,...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Have you ever developed some sort of weird medical symptom and made the mistake of going to WebMD to see what's wrong with you? You know exactly what happens. You end up sure you're dying of some horrible disease...every time. But meanwhile, we as men will also read surveys and studies about women and attraction that leave us convinced we are exactly the opposite of who women want. Gentlemen, this has to stop. The "masses" out there will NEVER be attractive, but who YOU are as an individual is 100% under your control, which is a very good thing. Have the...

Co-Host Ada Gore (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/gore) My first-time guest Ada Gore is a brave--and terrific--woman. Despite angels themselves fearing to tread upon today's topic, she boldly goes there. What you're about to get, gentlemen, is the definitive guide to understanding women's monthly cycle. Now, I know what you're saying...what does this have to do with me? Well, if you want to successfully relate to women and navigate your relationship with her like a champion, this is one of those details you have GOT to get right. The problem is, according to Ada many women don't even understand...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === I get it. We all want to be a woman's hero. But should we really be her straight-up savior? And do we really owe that to women we've just met, or aren't even dating, in particular? The "captain save-a-ho" scenario has been talked about for years in pickup artist circles. As cynical a concept as it is, it's rooted in hard truth every man should recognize. Unfortunately, our logic tends to go out the window when "clouded by beauty-vision". Here's how to recognize when you're falling into the trap, and how to be the great guy you are without sacrificing your...

Co-Host George Dubec (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/networker) What if you could leverage your entire social network to find women to date? Or even your future wife? We're not talking about your aunt Gertrude setting you up with her friend's "nice" daughter here, for sure. My first-time guest George Dubec has developed what he calls the Referral Matchmaking System, and it's like being a "connector" on steroids. While talking about that is way too much fun in and of itself, we kick off the episode with war stories from when George was a classic ladies' man, long before the PUA movement was...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Where you get advice on women, dating, relationships and being a better man matters. How do you decide what to listen to? Well, over the years, I've had my fair share of emails challenging whether I'm the right guy to sit in this chair or not. As my life has changed, so have the emails. Ultimately, track record matters...but there's something that matters EVEN more. Looking at the lighter side of this discussion, this brief episode gives you the real way to hold the advice you hear up to the light to make sure it's genuine. What? You haven't checked out the...
info_outlineCo-Host Clifford Myers (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/myers) My first-time guest and new friend Clifford Myers is more than just a comedian. He's a self-proclaimed "comedy practioner". That means he doesn't just tell jokes, he works with individuals and even large companies to help people use comedy to do better in every aspect of their lives. This makes him the perfect guy to talk about how comedy and humor can help skyrocket our confidence and success with women. This far-ranging (and yes, funny) discussion hits the ground running, talking about how most guys try to use humor in a misguided and indeed self-serving way with women, which tends to backfire. After all, that's not very confidence-inspiring, now is it? Then we turn our attention toward how we as men in particular tend to take ourselves too seriously in general, and how that can be disastrous to our chances with women. What's the difference between being funny and having a sense of humor? Since we're talking about comedy here, do we have to put on some sort of stage act every time we're with a woman in order to make her laugh? As a weird thought experiment, what if we were to go into character when making women laugh, like Emo Phillips or Gilbert Gottfried? Obviously that wouldn't work, but why? How important is self-awareness and "reading the room" to all of this? What are the exact kinds of humor that really demonstrate confidence and attract women? And what other kinds of comedy work even better after you've already connected with a woman? How do we as men fall into the "no, but..." trap? And what's the most important element of comedy, especially if you're coming off as a confident man? Overall, a great show replete with TONS of comedy references throughout.
