===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?

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?

===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?

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.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== What does getting a haircut have to do with getting better with women? As it turns out, plenty...as long as you're up to the task. With due respect to barbershop culture if that's your time with your buds, this is all about choosing a female barber. Now, the obvious reason would be because a woman will know exactly how to cut your hair so you're attractive to women. But the best reason to get a female barber is under the radar. All is revealed and explained in this brief episode.

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?

===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?

Co-Host Cora Boyd (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cora) One of the biggest stumbling blocks for men is flirting. After all, in our minds it's all about revealing sexual (or at least non-platonic) interest in a woman, and rumor has it that sort of thing is flat-out dangerous in today's world. Well, my first-time guest Cora Boyd is the host of Pillow Talk Radio and heads up Magnetics Love School. To say she's the perfect guest to clear up any confusion or frustration about this topic is an understatement. Just when so many guys are cynical enough to go "redpilled" and swear off women, along comes Cora to restore hope in female humanity. Right out of the gate, Cora proves she knows exactly what we as men are feeling--and facing--out there nowadays when it comes to flirting. She not only knows what is going on, she knows why, and she's all about empowering you to flirt with women they way they crave being flirted with. So, what is Cora's take on "establishing normalcy" when meeting a woman for the first time? Why do we as men really shy away from flirting with women? And how do we clear up our psychology so flirting really does become as fun for us as it is for most women? How can we master the male/female vibe when interacting with a woman? Why does trying to come up with the perfect move or the perfect line always seem to backfire? What are "flirting flavors"? What should men do instead of trying to "close the deal" with women? And what is there to be said for improving your entire social outlook--and your social life with it--as a direct way to get comfortable with, and therefore better at flirting? What encouragement does Cora have for men who are still cynical about all of this? And what if flirting is actually an act of service toward women?

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===What happens when someone asks you to envision the "woman of your dreams"? Well, you likely have a mental picture almost immediately. She's exactly your type and/or what society projects as the "perfect woman". But here's the thing: when the  woman who really "does it for you" shows up in real life, she might not be who you envisioned. What's up with that? Are you settling? The surprising answer is actually the most normal, natural one...and nearly everyone can relate to it. And by the way, the same principle has massive ramifications on how we understand women's stereotypical "preferences" for the man they say they want. Can we all get over ourselves, stop over-analyzing and let authentic attraction happen?

Co-Host Scotte Burns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/scotte) My first-time guest Scotte Burns and his wife have spent nearly a decade and more than 100,000 miles on Harleys asking one question: What is love...especially in a language like English which infamously only has one word to cover the whole concept? They got many answers along the way, but which one changed Scotte the most?  I mean, what makes a man spend ten years and a hundred thousand miles asking what love is? What were some of the most memorable or transformative encounters they had on the road? What did men they talked to say about love? How did it differ from what women told them? What do most people get wrong about love? And how about marriage on the road? Ten years in close quarters with his wife. How did that work? Scotte says love is not merely an emotion, but something more fundamental. What does he mean by that? And what does it actually mean to love yourself first? (i.e. not a mere platitude) At what point did his search for the meaning of love become a deeper inquiry into consciousness itself? And here's a good question: How does love really relate to masculinity and femininity? Why do men struggle more with articulating what love is? How are love and attraction actually related (contrary to conventional wisdom), and is attraction is a prerequisite for love or merely a distraction?

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Oh man, it's the most frustrating thing ever, isn't it? Getting banished to the dreaded "Just Be Friends" Zone is bad enough. But what if she is spending time with you, but at the same time it's crystal clear that things are going nowhere with her? Either way, we're talking about a woman who doesn't have a romantic interest in you. So what's the difference that makes the difference as to whether you get hit with the "JBF Talk" or just don't get talked to at all? The truth will surprise you. And wait...all of this sucks, so how can we make sure to never have to sort through any of this madness with women ever again?

Co-Host Robbie Kramer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/kramer) My returning guest Robbie Kramer joins me for this wide-ranging episode on the journey from PUA-era men's coach to husband and father. What's more, Robbie is a "girl dad"...just a month and a half in. So what, if anything, changes in us as men once we get married, and especially when we become a parent? And what are the specific mind shifts and wake-up calls that happen when we become "girl dads"? So-called conventional wisdom says that the more we "play the field" as single men, the harder it is to commit to one woman long-term and the family life that goes with it. Find out why both Robbie and I believe the opposite is true. So was Robbie ready to be a dad? What happened for both he and I when our respective first-born kiddos came along? What's the unexpected (and by far the most irrefutable) argument for choosing a hot wife? What keeps a good marriage and parenthood from feeling like a trap? What kind of true freedom and therefore real autonomy unexpectedly comes with being a family man? What are the marketing shenanigans that some former PUAs are up to nowadays...now that they've actually become husbands and dads themselves? (Hint: No, you're not a "simp" for wanting to be a father and actually live with your own kids.) When it comes down to it, the healthiest and most powerful evolution from player to parent is to consciously and intentionally create the life you REALLY want with the partner you REALLY want (yes, including physical attractiveness) and raise your kids the way you REALLY want. The problem, is most men either don't realize these options are available, or else they just fail to deploy.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Have you been hit with the term "Divorce Glow-Up" yet? Basically, a bunch of divorced women are going around on social media bragging (or is that perpetrating) how they're hotter, healthier and even happier after a divorce. Sure, women are going to flex some "girl power" with each other once in a while. But is there a deeper and more troubling message here? And how does it matter to us as men?

Co-Host Dr. Kyle Hulsebus (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/40over40) My first-time guest Dr. Kyle Hulsebus is a health and human potential specialist, author, and third-generation chiropractor. All of that has focused his attention on a theory that should be of extreme interest for any man who wants to be at his best when relating to women. Indeed, his 40over40 longevity series claims sex after 40 is a health signal. Kyle's work redefines health as an internal mind/body state where purpose, relationships, work, and physical well-being function together. He argues that most midlife decline starts with a loss of direction, long before a lab test catches it. Although there is definitely both a spiritual and a metaphysical side to it all, Kyle's approach is 100% practical. No scripts, no supplements pitch, just what actually keeps a body working past 40.Tip #20 out of his 40 is "make love". Kyle explains it's less about sex for sex's sake and more about connection, honest communication, and what happens in the body when people stop hiding their desires. He raises a real question: are people talking openly with their partners about desire, or carrying it privately, or unpacking it anonymously somewhere else entirely? So, why is making love after 40 is part of your health, not an optional extra? Why are so many over 40 are in silent health decline? (hint: it's not testosterone) Why is it some people can connect almost immediately, but others can go years with no connection at all?

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===For millennia men and women have been trying to figure each other out. But the ironic part is both genders think they're easy to figure out. What's actually going on there? Well, that's the part nobody ever stops to think about...until now. As it turns out, when we stop thinking of the other gender as from some other planet, or even as some other species, that's when the picture becomes crystal clear. The ramifications of figuring this out are massive for not only how attractive you are to women, but how successful your relationships with them will be (and vice-versa, of course!)
