=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Whenever most men happen to encounter a woman they'd say is a '10 out of 10', they automatically rule out any possibility of attracting her at all, let alone girlfriending her. But this Snippet From The Summit serves as a 'wake up' call to both our confidence and our logical grasp of such situations. For starters, women you consider 'tens' might not be as unattainable as you might think...for several reasons. What's more, when you get her attention the RIGHT way, you actually have a BETTER chance at KEEPING it than you do even with 'average' women. Here's the surprising--and confidence-inspiring--reason why .

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 "visual" when it comes to women and attraction. Is that actually all there is to it, though? And if Tantra is all about connection, could social media and the "pandemic of loneliness" explain much of the disconnect between our five senses and our dating lives? Is it true that today's dating world actually discourages people from meeting and having interesting conversations? How weird is that? How is being "spoiled for choice", at least ostensibly, ruining our ability to discern who's right for us? What's another way to think about how taste matters in the dating world, above and beyond the obvious?  And how can we as men become more sensual in general, to the delight of women? What are the ways most "normal" guys are completely missing out on the best parts of sex by rushing things? Why did we all miss the point of the movie 9 1/2 Weeks in the '80s? But then again, what do young adults know about sex that we tend to, well...forget as we get older and more jaded? Finally, is there any room in this discussion for a potential sixth sense? The answer may surprise you...and propel your sex life to new heights.

=== 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 more than ever before by total accident. Better men get better women.

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 conscious. Just like I have the "big four", Alex has broken down the secrets of having a woman who is truly right for you reveal herself in real time. There are five integral components of your persona and your presence that make that happen, and he lists each one. How much can we really influence in terms of how a woman feels toward us, both in the short-term and the long-term? What role does actively choosing a woman play in making her adore you rather than simply put up with you? What does that even look like, in real-world terms? How can I go "all in" with a woman without simping? Could it be we're attempting sometimes to gain the "love" of a woman we're not even so crazy about...simply out of some weird form of desperation? How does your presence, or aura as a man influence a woman's love versus mere like? And finally, how can showing up as ruthlessly authentic and extremely honest really cause a "next level" positive response from a woman so she truly is your "ride or die chick"?

=== 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, and with it must come a true evolution of the PUA mindset...especially when it comes to what has been known as "night game".

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 sexually frustrated? Could it be that we really needed to go through a few decades of trial and error in order to figure out what we really want out of our dating pursuits and sex lives, let alone long-term relationships? Why are younger guys going for matchmakers nowadays? For a while there, politics were a major yardstick of compatibility. Is that still the case? Are we ever going to collectively stop doom-scrolling our smartphones and notice there's other people out there in public? Is this generation going to rediscover the art of approaching women in real life? Well, first we all might have to start with actually liking the gender we'd hope to attract again. Will Gen Z realize sooner than later that pressure on the birthrate and away from healthy male/female relationships is robbing them of something important? Assuming so, will the younger generation have to learn from their dating and relationship mistakes the same way we have? Of course they will...but how? Better men get better women.

=== 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.

Co-Host Shlomo Slatkin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/shlomo) My first-time guest is Shlomo Slatkin. In addition to being a Rabbi in Baltimore, he's also the founder of the Marriage Restoration Project. He has a lot of valuable insights into modern manhood, our relationships with women and the missing rite of passage from boyhood to manhood in today's culture. First off, Shlomo is a man who walks the talk. He and his wife have a great relationship and are raising a beautiful family. In his daily life, Shlomo works with men who want to achieve a closer connection with the woman in their lives but are at somewhat of a loss as to how to do so. Interestingly, he believes it's not because they lack knowledge or resilience, but rather because they've outgrown the emotional survival strategies they learned as boys. Shlomo is all about unlearning those outdated patterns and showing up with clarity, presence and emotional honesty. So how do we as men take ownership of our emotions instead of shaming or blaming? Could it be that we often feel threatened in relationships, even though we're supposed to be the man of the house? How can we avoid being either a petulant child or a passive wuss? Where is the "balance" in a relationship with a woman that keeps our power and dignity intact as men, while honoring and protecting those we love? In a world where far too many men are running around like 40-year-old little boys who never grew up, Shlomo's message is just the kick in the pants we need nowadays. Have you discovered VAMANOS yet?

=== 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.

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 what's going on there, let alone men. So first off, what qualifies Ada to be the woman to tell us all of this? Next, what difficulties did she and her husband have as a couple before they wrapped their heads around the issue? Ada teaches something called the Four Inner Seasons framework. What's up with that and how does it give crystal clarity to the topic? And what about us as men? Do we have "seasons" of our own that we go through? (Hey, don't knock it 'til you try it.)  On another note, what exactly is PMS, anyway, and how can we make it suck less for us as men?  What actually are the biggest mistakes we as men make when coping with women's "time of the month"? And how are women not off the hook here (no excuses!) Next, what's the "women work different" framework? And what has happened over the last century or so to, if anything, decrease how well men and women understand each other? And most of all, what's up with all the '60s music references?

=== 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 dignity OR your hard-earned resources. And yes, here's the proper mindset to help you rise above the entire topic itself, once and for all.  Have you checked out the VAMANOS chatbot app? https://mountaintoppodcast.com/vamanos === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extemely effective...and actionable.

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 even thought about. He had the Saturday Night Fever clothes and the Smokey And The Bandit car. How much of his "old school" strategy still applies today? More than you think. For example, wait until you hear his answer to women showing up on dates with a bunch of endless Q & A. And what about chemistry? George has an interesting definition for that, as far as male/female interaction is concerned. Next, George talks about what he calls "The Love List". And it looks like we just coined "The Wingman Workshop" right after that. Next, we talk about the weirdest version of "approach anxiety" that's very real, but which nobody ever talks about...and yes, it has everything to do with social networking. And who exactly should we let "network" us into a date? There's a clear answer to that one.

=== 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?

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Well, here's the first thing you can figure out, just from the title: Emily and I are obviously not disappointed enough in each other to avoid such a touchy topic. BUT...maybe that's a clue why this relational disappointment thing never gets talked about much. So what are we actually covering here? I mean, isn't it unrealistic to get into a relationship thinking everything is always going to be perfect and ideal? That brings up the concept of "macro-disappointments" vs. "micro-disappointments". And what about other couple's Facebook highlight reels that only show the shiny, happy stuff? Is that driving unreasonable disappointment on the part of the rest of us? Is there really such thing as "the seven-year itch", and if so is it more about disappointment or boredom? And hey, wait a minute. Isn't boredom disappointing? Does long-term disappointment usually start right at the beginning of a relationship? Why is that? And what about this business of "spicing up a relationship"? How does that work to ward off potential disappointment? Why is being each other's best friend a magic elixir to cure disappointment? What if what causes disappointment is legitimately beyond the control of the disappointing partner? What if a partner is intentionally disappointing, and expecting to get away with it? Why does being "nice" disappoint WAGs? How do couples put their relationship at blatant risk for disappointment? Why is comfort the enemy of marriage excitement? Finally, what if you're actually IN a deeply disappointing relationship. Now what? And by the way, is it any wonder that Rupert Holmes was a "one hit wonder"?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Today's topic is an unpleasant one, but this has to be said. Too may of us as men are letting women get away with a vicious double-standard. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she should be allowed to treat you poorly in ways no man would ever get away with. And she's certainly not above the law. What are the situations where this is especially devastating to men? And here's an even better question: How did we get to the point where we let today's empowered women do all of this to us without any penalty whatsoever?

Co-Host Dr. D. Ivan "Doc" Young (mountaintoppodcast.com/ivan) We're all realize we're men biologically, but how are we at manifesting the masculinity within us? Yeah, on the surface it's a question that feels like it shouldn't have to be asked. But my guest, "Doc" Young is The Reality Check Doctor, and his practice as a behavioral neuroscientist often focuses on empowering men to be more self-aware in their masculinity. Right off the bat, Doc launches into the mindset of true masculinity versus merely being "macho". How did we get swindled into thinking that was what it's all about, anyway? He's got some ideas you've probably never considered before What's the real reason why there's really no female equivalent of "macho"? What's the real reason why under-evolved men don't attract women? If you're dating a "trophy woman", you may be making her feel NO differently than if you were still living at home with your mommy. Here's why... And what does Doc mean when he says a lot of men are looking for an external solution to an internal problem? What are the advantages of being a truly self-aware man, especially when it comes to developing traits that women are attracted to? How much of self-awareness comes from within as opposed to environmental factors around us? Next, discover why self-awareness isn't only about masculinity, it's about maturity. How do you become the respected patriarch of your entire family? How do our past experiences impact our current level of self-awareness, and how can we take back control? How is comparing ourselves to others the enemy of that? And finally, what does self-awareness have to do with your quality of live, and even your very longevity itself?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === The phenomenon I'm talking about today isn't new. But the Internet, then social media, virtual assistants and now AI have caused it to be more obvious.  It goes like this...when shielded by the "anonymity of the Internet", many humans have a tendency to, well...start talking to people in YouTube comment sections like they're not really human on the other side of the computer. Or worse, the "buffer zone" offered by the Internet empowers them to say things they wouldn't have the balls to say to anyone IRL. And when smartphones--and Siri--came along, the downward spiral continued. People started treating a simulated human horribly. Now, with so much AI, we find ourselves talking to soulless robots more than red-blooded humans sometimes. Where is all of this transhumanism really taking us...and what's the big deal, anyway? And what does this have to do with getting better with women? As it turns out, everything. Get in on my Substack channel at: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/substack

Co-Host Owen Marcus (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/meld) My first-time guest Owen Marcus is a proponent of Polyvagal Theory, which is about how our body and brain work together to respond to stress, be that everyday annoyances or more significant trauma. It has a huge impact on how we as men carry ourselves physically. So you can easily figure out how understanding this theory and the somatic awareness that comes from it would make you more attractive to women. After all, when you gain mastery over your body in the way Owen talks about, your physiology is less likely to, well...sort of betray you. That may sound complex, but Owen describes it all in a way that not only makes perfect sense, but its practical and actionable. For example, this concept finally makes the concept of "emotional availability" more tangible, and even influences how we find ourselves being "Mr. Nice Guy". What is "co-regulation", and why is that social/physical phenomenon central to the whole theory? How does understanding Polyvagal Theory assist us greatly in the quest to make women feel safer and more comfortable with us? What are some physical manifestations of us not being in tune with really feeling what our bodies are telling us? (HINT: A lot of guys make themselves look like dorks without even realizing it.) What does Polyvagal Theory have to do with either you OR her feeling something is just a bit "off"? And how does it finally help us understand what it really means to "relax"? Next, there's fight or flight, or something WAY worse...and we as men do it ALL the time. Meanwhile, how does Polyvagal Theory contribute to being more charismatic? How can it help us not only mesmerize and attract women, but make more male friends as well?
