    First Date Mistakes - MTP 534

    Co-Host May Bugenhagen (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/may) For many men, first meetings with women are nothing short of a white-knuckle situation. I mean, you're excited about being out with a woman, but it could go great, or...not so much. And as men, we tend to blame ourselves when things go awry. Well, my first-time guest is matchmaker May Bugenhagen, and she's here to talk about some of the avoidable mistakes many of us make on first dates. First off, how do we deal with the nervous energy before and during dates? What's the first thing all men should remember right at the beginning of first dates? (Hint: It should be obvious, but most men rarely even acknowledge it.) What is the easiest thing in the world a man can do to make a first meeting go well, yet so many men mess it up anyway? Even though it seems almost impossible, what topics should you absolutely avoid on first dates? How would you answer, "What questions should women ask men on dates?" See if your answer is the same as mine.What are the secrets to taking ourselves less seriously on dates, in the best way possible? Why is it that May can ask for date feedback from both the man and the woman she set up together, and it sounds like they were on completely separate dates? What makes one party think the date went well and the other one doesn't? What's "second stage fear of rejection"? How do you handle the "why are you divorced" question? And what about the dreaded "what are you looking for?" question? Things have changed. It's harder to find a good woman than ever. Let's talk about it.

    How To Be A "Measured" Man - SFTS 141

    ===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== The term "measured" is kind of like "high maintenance", isn't it? We all have a mental picture of what it is, but not all of us have the same mental picture. So what does it actually mean to be a "measured" man, and what does it look like? What do men from Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asian men and Native American men have deeply ingrained in their culture that other guys don't? More importantly, why does all of this even matter? What is it about truly "measured" men that both attracts women and earns the respect of other men?

    The Masculine Blueprint - MTP 533

    Co-Host GS Youngblood (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/blueprint) For years I've noted how being masculine is in every man's nature, so if we simply relax into it there's not a whole lot of "heavy lifting" involved. But that doesn't change the fact that we as men like to have a plan. My returning guest GS Youngblood has exactly such a plan, which he calls The Masculine Blueprint. First off, we talk about how so many men got confused about this stuff to begin with. So then, what are the three element's of GS's blueprint? Why is the concept of responding vs. reacting so important to your very foundation as a masculine man? And why do so many truly powerful men mess it up? What drives our instincts to constantly want to "get out of trouble" with women? What's the difference between being genuinely "toxic" (or even straight-up crazy) and someone who's needs aren't getting met? And on that note, what are women typically like when their needs aren't getting met? What's the difference in that case between "manning up", being an idiot/jerk and being a simp? Could it possibly be true that the difference between being a husband and parenting is surprisingly thin? And finally, how can you be a man who genuinely changes the world? What can you do RIGHT NOW to improve your relationships with women?

    Why Millionaires Jump Off Of Buildings - SFTS 140

    ===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== You've heard the stories about rich businessmen jumping off of buildings after the stock market crash in 1929. What's up with that? Well, as it turns out there's a clearly defined psychological principle going on there. We as men in particular are particularly prone to adopt this poisonous mindset. But worse...the very same issue can trickle down into our mindset toward women, and it negatively affects our potential success with them. And it's TRICKY, which makes things that much worse. How do you detect if you're been caught in this trap, and more importantly...how do you get out of it?

    Our Favorite On-Screen Relationships - MTP 532

    Co-Host Emily McKay (https://scotmckaycoaching.com) It's long overdue, but Emily and I are finally talking about male/female relationship on TV and in movies. There's no better co-host for this, since, well...Emily and I watch more shows together than we do with anyone else, obviously. Given that spaghetti westerns and action/adventure flicks rarely have much to offer as far as dudes and chicks getting together, luckily Emily gets her turn every once in a while at having me sit through one of her "chick flicks". As a dating/relationship specialist, this is where the true "research" is, so I probably don't mind watching them as much as some other guys might.  So here's the deal, skip every rom-com with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore , Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, or Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan because they all follow the same formula. We also spared you another commentary on either Titanic or The Notebook. Instead, we start off by going after the Taylor Sheridan universe. We cover Rip and Beth from Yellowstone, Spencer and Alex from 1923, and pretty much every interesting couple in Landman. Then we get to: Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake in Friends With Benefits, Brett Goldstein and Juno Temple in Ted Lasso, Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek in Fools Rush In, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn in Overboard, Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting, Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger in Jerry Maguire, and several other "surprise" mentions. Then, we go back to '70s TV with Archie and Edith Bunker and George and Weezy Jefferson. As for our takes on all of these crazy characters, all I can say is expect the unexpected.

With due respect to barbershop culture if that's your time with your buds, this is all about choosing a female barber.

    Making Her Like You More - MTP 531

    Co-Host Jonathan Van Viegen (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/choosingus) My first time guest Jonathan Van Viegen is a couples therapist and coach, and author of The Chosen And Cherished Method along with his new book Choosing Us. The topic he suggested is one that doesn't get talked about nearly enough in the world of dating and relationship advice, especially amongst us men. That's being likeable. Now, it seems simple and obvious how important this is to attracting women and building relationships with them, so why is it so often overlooked? What's the best path to becoming a better man that's actually going to lead to women liking you more? (Hint: it's not always so obvious.) Jonathan admits he didn't used to be very likable to his wife. How exactly did he turn that ship around? What's the difference between a woman being attracted to you and actually liking you? Is the mental image many men have of "masculinity" actually likable? Here's how and why those two traits don't have to be mutually exclusive. What's one simple habit that makes you more likable immediately, especially to women? Is there a likable way to earn respect? What is the skill many people have lost since COVID that makes them far harder to like? It has been said that attraction isn't a choice. Is liking someone a choice? What's the hard truth about likability that everyone should learn...especially if they want to stand out in a crowd? On the other hand, why are needy people pleasers so unlikable? And finally, what's the one question men should write down and ask themselves over and over?

    The Truth About Second Marriages - STFS 138

    ===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===We've all heard the alleged statistics about how 2nd marriages fail at a higher rate than first marriages. But did you know there's no actual study to back that up? The truth is very different. Nevertheless, I've got a significant plot twist for you when it comes to any and all studies that talk about dating, relationships and attraction. Sometimes the alleged "red pill" is still just the "blue pill". In this brief episode I reveal the best mindset you can have in the face of these studies. More importantly, we get down to the bottom of what really matters when it comes to successful second marriages. What are the "make or break" factors there that go outside the numbers?
