Dating "Shape Shifters" - MTP477 09/12/2025

Dating "Shape Shifters" - MTP477 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. 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?

New Change To The "Big Four" - SFTS84 09/09/2025

Your Wingman Rocks Powerpoint (Pitch-A-Friend) - MTP476 09/05/2025

Your Wingman Rocks Powerpoint (Pitch-A-Friend) - MTP476 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 it would be more entertaining if she and her friend just got up there and pitched their single friends to these guys. A few years later, Pitch-A-Friend is in dozens of cities spanning 22 countries...and growing. So what's the deal? Let's just say it's basically online dating in REVERSE. Instead of putting up a profile and hoping someone likes it, all the single people are ALREADY THERE in the room, and THEN your friend basically "wings" for you with a PowerPoint presentation. Now, I actually did my homework here and went to the most recent event here in San Antonio. At first I planned to be a "fly on the wall", but my waitress turned out to be pretty cute and VERY single...so I pitched her! Tune in for more on how THAT went, as well as all the details about Pitch-A-Friend...including why it's EXACTLY in line with what the "new normal" for meeting women is gonna look like. Obviously, GenZ is eating this stuff up. But wait a minute...what about Pitch-A-Friend in The Villages or Sun City, AZ. Ha! And by the way, there was room for a relevant Dead Milkmen reference in there, too. Nice.

I Will Grant You Every Advantage With Women Except One - SFTS83 09/02/2025

Resentment Wreckage: The Silent Assassin of Masculinity - MTP475 08/29/2025

Resentment Wreckage: The Silent Assassin of Masculinity - MTP475 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 masculine presence, makes you unattractive to women, and slowly destroys your edge in life. Naturally, we kick off the conversation with a searing discourse on self-imposed limiting beliefs, and how the media actually reinforces them. And then, what's with all those long checklists women schlep with them on dates? And on the other hand, why is it that the less success with women a guy has had, the "pickier" he might become? And what's up really going on when we play "Whack-A-Mole" with one excuse after another for not succeeding with women, to the point where we just get angry rather than actually doing something about it? Why is it so true that 'hurt people hurt people'? And what if 'Mr. Nice Guy' really has something pent up under the surface? As it turns out, getting over any resentment that's built up within us--especially toward our family and women--has to come from a place of genuine desire, not to mention raw, masculine courage. Does that mean actually confronting those who have hurt you? That's for you to decide. If you've been into men's dating and relationship stuff for years, you might wonder why you haven't heard from Frank in a few years. Well, as it turns on he was on one hell of a personal journey...losing 260 pounds (!) You'll get the lowdown on that as well.

Clouded By "Beauty Vision" - SFTS82 08/26/2025

Women Still Want A Masculine Man - MTP474 08/22/2025

Women Still Want A Masculine Man - MTP474 Co-Host Cassie Leigh (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cassie) You asked for this, gentlemen. And fair warning...you're getting what you asked for. In this episode, I welcome Cassie Leigh who's a journalist, author and Instagram chick. And yes, you're about to get a real woman's opinion on what it's like to be single and dating out there nowadays. Just make sure you fasten your seat belts, because it's a wild ride. Some of you are going to love what she has to say, while others of you will probably get super angry over it. Most of us will feel a little bit of both at some point or another in the conversation, and rightly so no matter what. Well, for starters, Cassie tells a dating nightmare story where a guy knew one of her exes and said exactly what it took to blow his chances. What does Cassie have to say about today's disturbing trend toward transactional relationships? Next, we find out (surprise, surprise) that Cassie's a true 'Daddy's girl', which contributed to many of her old-school values about men and masculinity, and women and femininity. Speaking of which, despite so many men complaining that women want to be lazy and not contribute anything to the relationship, Cassie reports men openly announcing they're 'sassy' and want women to do everything for them and pay their own way. What's up with all of that? Next, we move on to discussing how Cassie has to 'man up' because most guys simply don't know how to. And THAT is when the bomb gets dropped...(drum roll)...Cassie has a boyfriend. And no, she's not happy. Why is she still in that relationship? Well...that's where you're just going to have to listen in to get all the gory details of that one. Gentlemen...the bottom line here is you can get an amazing woman who really wants a great relationship if you're willing just to bring SOMETHING to the table. Yes...contrary to what we think women are 'demanding' of us out there, it really has become that simple and easy.

Fantasy Success Vs. Real Results With Women - SFTS81 08/19/2025

The Medicalization Of Masculinity? - MTP473 08/15/2025

The Medicalization Of Masculinity? - MTP473 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 sure...and for a variety of reasons, actually. What would Craig tell men who have been told there's something wrong with them by the medical field, when it might actually be a social thing? Could we simply need some self-work on our social skills. Or worse, could we have been told something is wrong with us when we're really just fine? What about when parents project medical diagnoses upon their kids? (e.g. Health Anxiety By Proxy or Munchausen Syndrome) How would Craig explain the rise in later-life diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder? And what about when people manipulate the medicalization of the social for their own apparent benefit, like "I’m on the spectrum, not a narcissist"? What happens when little boys act like, well...little boys, but are rushed to the principal's office or even to therapy for it? On the other hand, there's also a pattern where people seek help, then resist it and offload the blame onto others. Why would anyone want to stay locked into their pattern of failure?

Success Factors With Women And Career - SFTS80 08/12/2025

Dating, Relating And Pets - MTP472 08/08/2025

Dating, Relating And Pets - MTP472 Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/) Emily joins me for a long-overdue conversation on how pets affect relationships between men and women. As you might have already imagined, this went in probably every direction you could think of and then some...starting with Emily's thoughts on how men who have cats are p*ssies. Yeah, well...is that always the case? Isn't there such thing as a masculine pet cat? Should men be 'dog people' instead if they want to attract women? If so, what breeds should men think about getting as opposed to other ones? Which are the chick magnets at the local dog park? And women are certainly not off the hook. What breeds of dog should women avoid getting if they expect to get a boyfriend? And more importantly, how many cats are too much for a woman to have...turning her into 'single cat-lady'? Are chickens only for farmers? What if he has reptiles as pets? What's more, what if SHE does? Is a chick with a snake a dealbreaker, let alone 'lizard lady'? What if the two of you like each other, but his Rottweiler would probably consider her new kitten a tasty snack? What if you're a single parent and the kid tugs at your heartstrings to pick a certain person to date...all because they'd score a new puppy in the deal? What if your new wife starts coddling a duck, bunny rabbit or a baby goat instead of you? And should couples get a pet or two as a trial run before making babies? Do pets make blending families even more tricky? Most of all, discover why guinea pigs are not okay under any circumstances and should be banned from the country.

Part-Time Victimhood - SFTS79 08/05/2025

Bad Relationship Advice - MTP 471 08/01/2025

Bad Relationship Advice - MTP 471 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 that 'well meaning' relationship advice we get from friends and especially family members, but which is just really awful, if not downright dangerous? Is 'happy wife, happy life' really a thing? And what about when we as men joke about how the wife is 'the boss'? Should it be an option to say 'divorce is not an option'? It's not like we should just glibly drop the 'd bomb' in a relationship, right? Is a relationship really 'hard work'? What makes your relationship with a woman either less or more difficult? Is there a proper 'time to get married', or is that a trap as well? Should couples compromise? What is the deal with watching movies together...it's always a battle to find a flick both of you want to watch, right? Should you really just go read a book in another room while she watches some chick flick? And what's up with actual recommendations out there to blatantly enter into transactional relationships? What about 'not sweating the small stuff' in a relationship? Is it actually healthy for couples to fight? And finally...stay tuned for the massive toilet paper debate (after all, that's what's really important here).

Don't Be A Loner Nutjob - MTP470 07/25/2025

Don't Be A Loner Nutjob - MTP470 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 close friends anymore, and it sucked. So what did he do about it? Well, in a world where more men have fewer close friends than ever before, Peter knew he needed a strategy? What was it? And what is it we actually need from male friendships nowadays? What do men build friendships around nowadays? And what about combatting loneliness in The Digital Age? What should we do if we have fallen into the trap of replacing IRL relationships with social media and porn? And what about AI? We already know that's no real substitute for human interaction...right? Above and beyond social skills, what really bonds people together to form close friendships? What are the key differences between how men and women build relationships, and how can we make best use of those dynamics? What do you do if you don't drink, given so many guys go out and have a beer together? How can we get our of our comfort/familiarity zone if that's what's holding us back from meeting people? And hey...why is it that all nutjob serial killers and the like always tend to be "loners"? Remember, all of the full episodes are now available on VIDEO now as well.

Talk Like A Leader - MTP469 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 back to cover what we had originally planned. What's the first step to using your voice to get ahead in your career, and indeed in life? Find out about what Laura calls "the linguistic glass ceiling" and how to blast through it. What are the special communication skills that are unique to leaders? How can high IQ guys fall into traps that are uniquely set for them? As it turns out, the way to make people think you're smart and competent is very similar to how to make them think you're a cool guy. Laura explains that in detail, including how the "dance of communication" ties into it. How do we pigeonhole ourselves into poor leadership communication, simply by overlooking the nuanced finesse required in most situations? Better yet, how do we fix that? How do you adjust both the objective and subjective elements of your communications style based on who exactly you're leading, and in what context? How can you earn respect through your communicative leadership rather than demanding it? What's the real relationship between what you say and how you say it? (Hint: It may not be what you've heard in the past.) How can you "match the energy" of the person you're talking to in a way that builds respect and rapport? What are the big mistakes that even major companies make when attempting to communicate to their customer base in a way that creates admiration and goodwill?

Does The Color Of Your Name Attract Women? - MTP467 07/04/2025

Does The Color Of Your Name Attract Women? - MTP467 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 believes your very name itself is color-coded, leading to all sorts of potential revelations...even when it comes to women, sex and dating. Okay, so first of all, how did B.P. come up with this? Hint: It turns out he's building on the work of others. Next, what is actually going on from an objective, physiological standpoint there? And what in the world is the scientific proof for name colorology? How do we 'teleport' information simply by invoking a person's name? And what different sounds in names invoke certain thoughts or emotions? How do the glands in your body govern all of this? And if our personalities and proclivities depend on the letters in our name, is this some sort of predestination gig? Are we either blessed or doomed with women (and by extension, in life) accordingly? Listen in for B.P.'s surprising answer. And what about when you marry a woman and she takes your last name? Are there practical ways we can consider our name and transform ourselves into better men who attract more and better women? All told, my guarantee is this episode is jam-packed with a perspective you've never heard before on women and dating. If this is all still too adjacent to Eastern philosophy or even astrology for your taste, I get it. Even if so, it's always interesting to have guys like B.P. on who bring a whole new perspective that challenges our temporal senses. These episodes don't come around often, but they're a fun change of pace. So the only question left to answer is, 'Are you a double flesh power person, or not?'

Crazy Women Dangling Carrots - SFTS74 07/01/2025

Signs You Are Settling - MTP466 06/27/2025

Signs You Are Settling - MTP466 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 psychology surrounding a guy who habitually settles? Has he bought into the mindset that women he wants are 'out of his league' and he'd better not try to 'punch above his weight'? As horrifying as it sounds, can lack of success with girls from an early age set us up for a lifetime of settling? One would think on the surface that if we believe we're settling for someone, then we must be granting her the feeling of having hit the jackpot. But Jason would tell you the reality is often very different...and extra unfortunate for everyone involved. And then there are those other weird kind of relationships where someone indeed feels like they've hit the jackpot when their partner has clearly settled, and it has nothing to do with looks at all. Is settling more common among 'Mr. Nice Guys'? What is the most common fear-based thought that traps men into a cycle of settling? Next, the ever-present question of 'emotional availability' came up yet again. Does that mean you're doomed to settle no matter what? I mean, is ANY dysfunctional relationship, for that matter, necessarily a situation where either one or both partners has settled? What are the actual concrete signs of settling? And wait until you hear what I believe is the most shocking sign of all. Finally--and importantly--how can we make sure never to settle ever again?

Electronics Are Frying Your Masculinity - MTP465 06/20/2025

Electronics Are Frying Your Masculinity - MTP465 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 for Gen Z. So how exactly has the Internet Age shaped young adults? What's more, how will AI do that from now on? Ayush is actually a Gen Z'er, so he knows what he's talking about. He starts by talking about the '3 Rs' that will affect all of us going forward, but especially the youngest generation coming up. How do technology companies and their prioritization of profit really affect all of us in unexpected ways, particularly as men? What specifically has happened in just the last five short years to rob the human race of its humanity, let alone your masculinity? How is AI tricking us into accepting the computer as an authoritarian power (yes, really), and dragging us down to a less-human level of existence with it? Are you cheating on your partner if you get an AI girlfriend programmed to give you what you're missing from your IRL relationship? Is there really any correlation between intelligent learning models as we know them and the possibility of a 'Skynet'-like AGI? What does it even mean to be human--and masculine--a quarter of the way through the 21st century? And if we've lost something there already, how to we get it back?

Do Honor And Character Matter Anymore? - MTP464 06/13/2025

Do Honor And Character Matter Anymore? - MTP464 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 people? What's the difference between young people growing up in the 70's and our youth nowadays? And what should a modern-day rite of passage even look like for young men? Did the rise of Secular Humanism really result in the downfall of honor and character? What's Tom's specific warning with the rise of what he calls 'social warfare'? Even though honor and character are related, they're not synonymous. How does Tom describe that link between the two? What is the driving factor for honor and character that almost everyone overlooks? How has the smartphone era specifically mounted an assault against honor and character? Will AI further augment our reality with regard to values, integrity and even our behavior patterns? And of course, how does a strong sense of honor and good character really, truly affect our relationships with women? Hint: It has everything to do with having a valid rite of passage. Most importantly of all, what do we as men stand to lose when we don't fine-tune our sense of honor and our character...whether we realize it or not?

Women And Attraction: The Doom Fantasy - SFTS71 06/10/2025

The Psychology Of Attraction - MTP463 06/06/2025

The Psychology Of Attraction - MTP463 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 to 'punch above our weight' in the looks department, but we see exceptions around us all the time. What is that attributable to? Is it true that if a guy has a great job or lots of money it'll cover over 'a multitude of sins' in the looks department? What do women find attractive that's in relatively short supply among men here in the post-modern era? Was David DeAngelo right when he famously said, 'attraction is not a choice'?
