The Evolution Of Dating Advice - MTP492
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/) Dating and relationship advice has gone through significant changes over the last 20 years. Some of it has been good and necessary evolution, some of it downright detrimental and counter-productive. As X & Y Communications marks its 20th anniversary, we look back on the good, the bad and the ugly out there over the years since we opened our doors. First of all, what was up with men having an entire network for getting better with women back in 2005, while women pretty much only had Cosmo articles? And what happened to that "underground...

Sexual Attraction That Lasts Decades - SFTS99
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== You've heard that bit about how men's sexual value increases over time, while women's sexual value decreases over time. That's indeed a cynical trope, but how much truth is there to it? For sure, a 25-year-old guy is less likely to find a 55-year-old woman attractive, but is "sexual value" that simple? How is it that couples can remain happy and apparently in love for half a century, or more? Is it all just a ruse for the sake of "keeping up appearances"? Or could it be that attraction is still very real for them? What drives that kind of sustained attractiveness...

Love And Suffering - MTP491
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
Co-Host Dr. Anthony Silard (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/silard) My first-time guest is a man who fearlessly tackles some rough topics that others avoid. In addition to his latest book Love And Suffering, he's also the author of others with scary titles like The Myth Of Happiness and The Myth Of Friendship. So how does a guy like Dr. Anthony Silard stay sane and level-headed while immersed in this stuff? Well, the easy answer is his work probably isn't what you expect it to be. Rather than another nihilistic treatise on existentialism, he actually frames the inevitable suffering we all...

I Like You - SFTS98
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
===Snippets From The Summit=== After a few heavy-duty topics in recent weeks, let's take a look at the lighter side. When it comes to charming women and relating to them, there is tremendous power in three little words. No, not THOSE three little words. They are similar, though: I like you. You see, saying "I love you" to a woman is a big deal. You gotta think that shiznit through before you drop it on a woman. But "I like you" is VERY different. Listen in to this brief episode as I share exactly why that's true. Not only do we drop at least as many "I like yous" here at Casa McKay as "I...

Submissive Women - MTP490
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
Co-host Marian De La Croix (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/marian) "I believe every man should have his 'I Dream Of Jeannie'." Do I have your attention yet? That is a direct quote from my first time guest and self-proclaimed "happy submissive", Marian De La Croix. She believes women who embrace submission in relationships experience deeper personal growth, stronger partnerships, and genuine happiness—while the "empowered independence" narrative keeps women stuck, stressed, and unfulfilled. She and her master--who she openly refers to as such--live in Vancouver, BC and by all accounts are...

Never Act Like A Man Who Can't Get Laid - SFTS 97
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
===Snippets From The Summit=== Watch enough movies and TV shows and you can easily tell which kind of male character gets women and which doesn't. And yet, far too many men let their guard down and do blatantly unattractive stuff anyway. What's up with that? Do we think women either aren't noticing, or if they will they'll cut us a break? Here's the quick rundown on all actions, statements, "bro moments" and even fashion faux pas that keep us in a "dry spell". Never has there been a better time to say, "don't be that guy!" Better men get better women. That's the new logo, and the new look at ...

The Silent Sexual Revolution - MTP489
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
Co-Host Stephen Edwards (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/edwards) What's going on here when it comes to men, women and our sexual attitudes toward each other? (I say that like it's a bad thing?) My first-time guest is Dr. Stephen Edwards, a PhD in spiritual counseling and international speaker. He's also the author of The Venus Fly Trap: Sex, Lies And Repercussions. According to Stephen, we're all on a 'spectrum of insanity', whether we realize it or not. So first off, what does a Venus flytrap have to do with the silent sexual revolution? After all, that's a rough mental image. What are...

If All Women Are Awful - SFTS96
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
===Snippets From The Summit=== Granted, it's easy to allow ourselves to believe all women are atrocious and we're better off simply avoiding them. And often we can have legitimate reasons for thinking and feeling that way. But let's face it, men who've slipped into that mindset find themselves as miserable as Feminists who become man-haters. The good news is there's a clear mindset shift you can make that will not only transform how you view women, it'll actually change how they perceive you as well. It may feel difficult at first, but there is no more natural way to go...it's even embedded in...

Dating With All Five Senses - MTP488
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
Co-Host Catherine Auman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/catherine) My first-time guest Catherine Auman talks frequently about "tantric dating", which involves dating with all five senses. As men, modern technology might very well have led us to focus primarily on seeing and hearing, forsaking the other three senses. So first off, what is Tantric Dating about in general? Why is being "friends first" so common in other cultures, but basically the relationship kiss of death here in the West? What do dogs know that humans don't, when it comes to Tantra? We hear all the time how we as men are...

How to Succeed With Women By Accident - SFTS95
Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top
=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It used to be that the biggest hurdle between men and a successful dating life was basically approach anxiety. After all, you can't have any women in your life if you don't meet them first. But nowadays, there's ONE obstacle that looms even larger. It's so simple and basic that it might not even have occurred to you. But make no mistake, it's what keeps more men than ever from meeting women, let alone attracting them. The first step is recognizing what's going on. The next step--which is thankfully pretty basic--will make it feel as if women love and adore you...

As X & Y Communications marks its 20th anniversary, we look back on the good, the bad and the ugly out there over the years since we opened our doors. First of all, what was up with men having an entire network for getting better with women back in 2005, while women pretty much only had Cosmo articles? And what happened to that "underground society of pickup artists"? What did it quietly turn into...without men even realizing it? As for women, what weird development really established a whole new world of dating advice for them? And what marketing tactic in particular revolutionized all dating advice online...before eventually setting us all back big-time? Whatever happened to all that new-agey dating advice, and the "gurus" who promoted it? Why is so much of the current "dating advice" nothing more that pure clickbait? How did text messaging, social media, dating apps, "toxic masculinity", and the #MeToo movement all play a role in the dating and relationship advice we've been given? And how have Covid and AI affected the whole mix? How have we ourselves flexed and adapted to change over the years? Most of all, how have mindsets and attitudes evolved (or de-volved?)...on the part of both men and women? Get in on the new VAMANOS app at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/vamanos
