Co-Host Sandra Myers (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sandra) My first-time guest Sandra Myers is a matchmaker who heads up Select Date Society. In this fast-paced and often funny episode, we talk about how (and when) men and women tend to blow it in the first three months of dating each other. To kick things off, Sandra throws down how WAY too many people mess up within the first three MINUTES, or on the first date. Here's a hint: How many people do you know who love biographies? What are some other ways we as men all tend to sabotage any chances with a woman early on? Why does living in the past even in a present relationship have such damaging consequences? How does a "dry spell" over the past several months affect our mindset when getting into a new relationship? What's the trap that couples fall into on or shortly after the first date that instantly creates a bad habit that could doom the relationship later? What's the right level of "being mysterious" early on? I mean, where's the proper balance between oversharing and not sharing enough to make a connection? Is there a good reason to "test jealousy"...and if so, what does it look like? Where do we as men often sabotage any chance of real communication with a woman?

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== One of the most tired tips for men when it comes to telling if a woman is attracted is "she makes eye contact with you and smiles". Way too many of us as men have never seen that happen even once. It's no wonder we're so frustrated. But wait a second, could we be robbing ourselves of potential "moments" with women because we're avoiding eye contact with women to begin with? Why do so many of us as men do that? What could we be possibly afraid of? Well, the simple (and easy!) cure for this weird and devastating problem is contained in this brief episode.

Co-Host Steve "The Dean" Williams (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dean) Well, here we are...finally all the way to episode #500. Massive respect and appreciation to all of you guys who've supported the show over the years, many since the very beginning back in 2007...when it was originally called The Chick Whisperer. The first guy I thought of to join me for this milestone episode was none other than Steve "The Dean" Williams, who co-hosted the first ten episodes with me BITD. And it's been too long, so the OGs got the band back together for one special show. Get your crayons out, gentlemen...we're about to chop up some game. And I figured nothing would launch us both into one of our patented rants than a topic like What's Wrong With Men And Women Nowadays? We get rolling by talking about what's changed over the last 19 years, and what's stayed the same. How have men been blown and tossed by whatever the "next new thing" is in dating and relationship advice? What has post-modern culture done to men's mindset regarding women? Are men really willing to forsake women nowadays at the risk of their name, bloodline and legacy? And wait a minute...are the redpilled "gurus" on YouTube the ones encouraging that empty end result? Why don't you hear about "toxic masculinity" in the media anymore? How can it be after all these years that most men still don't understand how women are wired sexually? What happens when "truth" become negotiable? Sure, we sound like a couple of "Uncs", but what if the new school really is the old school? OGs got your back.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== You've heard the term. "Liquid courage" refers to slamming back a few alcoholic drinks before expecting to approach and meet women. It goes hand-in-hand with "night game" culture of meeting women in bars and clubs, doesn't it? There's no doubt that a little "social lubrication" to grease the skids and lower inhibition really can work. But there's also a good, solid reason why I strongly discourage alcohol consumption during Ten-Plus Live weekends with guys out in field.

Co-Host Dr. Karen Stewart (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/stewart) We've all heard the term "situationship" all the time over the past few years, but what exactly does it mean? We already have "friends with benefits" and even "f-buddies", so there's no need for a new term for that. And hey, it's okay to date someone casually without rushing into commitment, too...so that's certainly not it, either. Well, as it turns out there's a pretty clear differentiator between a true "situationship" and any other kind of relationship with a woman. My first-time guest, clinical psychologist and sex therapist Dr. Karen Stewart, not only describes the "situation" clearly, she's all about the discussion regarding the good, the bad and the ugly going on there. What is "girlfriend mode", and what does it have to do with all of this? How is a climate of fear directly associated with the modern-day proliferation of situationships? What are the disastrous ways men misunderstand a woman's signals that she's indeed just up for something casual, not committed or "relationshippy"? What are the two apparently opposite reasons why we fall into situationships? How does having sex change everything, at least usually? How can something between you and a woman start out as a situationship and then evolve into something else, or vice-versa? How can we (or women) unwittingly end up in a situationship when we clearly wanted a committed relationship? And overall, what is the lens women view such arrangements through compared to us as men, and how can we navigate that?

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== What can one specific play from Super Bowl LX teach us about how to get better at meeting and interacting with women? As it turns out plenty. In this brief episode, discover the valuable habit that carries over from most team sports, and how specifically to apply to cold approach situations. What's more, I'll show you the exact response you're likely to see initially from women, as well as how they'll respond once you actually start a conversation with her.

Co-Host Holly Nelson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/holly) Think of it like aspartame is to real sugar. "Synthetic intimacy" may be sweet, but it's not the real thing. And when you get right down to it, you're not really even fooled. So why then are so many people falling for it nowadays? My first-time guest Holly Nelson is NOT a robot (she said so herself), but rather a sex therapist from Phoenix, AZ who has spent a lot of time thinking about this subject. We hit the ground running on this fast-paced discussion, talking about how "intimacy" isn't really intimate at all if it's one-sided and people are getting manipulated. How is AI already affecting our relationships with women, and what should we be watching out for both now and in the near future? Why is Claude.AI so convincing when pretending it cares about you? And why is it dangerous to "get close" to ChatGPT (even above and beyond the obvious)? In all fairness, has technology actually succeeded at connecting us...even while dividing us at the same time? There was clear evidence even at the dawn of the consumer internet that people were disengaging from each other. Why have we not done anything about that, even when it's only gotten worse over the last 30 years or so? Can an AI girlfriend actually bring some good into your life, or is any semblance of a Build-A-Bitch Workshop just a social disaster waiting to happen? Is this just for the incel community, pretty much, or will we all eventually get drawn in? It's not like we're actually out there pretending to literally fall in love with AI...are we? Will kids eventually have robot parents (or at least, full-time nanny-bots)? Hey, add it all up and there's a big difference between how we are hard-wired as humans and the limits to which technology will be able to satisfy us...especially when it comes to flat-out replacing relationships with women.

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== A lot of us as men have allowed ourselves to believe that making common small talk with women when we meet them is something we have to avoid. After all, if we don't come up with something heroic to say in the moment, she'll probably lose interest quickly. Well, in this brief episode I'll not only show you why making small talk is actually the right strategy, I'll reveal why attempting some sort of "big talk" is likely to backfire spectacularly. And yes, even if you DO somehow come up with something miraculous and creative to talk to her about, I'll tell you why it's STILL likely to ruin everything ANYWAY.

Co-Host William Schroeder (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/justmind) My first time guest William Schroeder is an expert on neurodivergence not only because he is a mental health therapist, but also because he has walked that path himself. What are the challenges facing men who are ADHD or have Asperger's...especially when it comes to relating to women? More importantly, how can you overcome those challenge and thrive? Well, the first question to ask is why the term "neurodivergence" has been in the media more often in the last few years. Next, it seems like everyone's attention span is shorter since COVID. How much of neurodivergence is nature vs. nurture? And what is the difference between ADD, ADHD and Asperger's, anyway? How transparent should we be about neurodivergence with other people, say, girlfriends or even bosses? How can ADHD men excel in relationships with women? On the other hand, what if neurodivergence seems to be wrecking my chances with women? How are people affected by changes in how ADHD and Asperger's are clinically defined? I mean, it's not really a death sentence to our masculinity and ability to attract women if we're neurodivergent, is it? And regarding the term "neurodivergence" itself, is it too broad a label? How many men go undiagnosed...and what if this podcast episode itself starts making us wonder about that? And here's the kicker...how do we identify women who are neurodivergent and manage relationships with them?

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Have you ever known someone who you have occasional social conversations with, but then one day--boom--crickets. What happened there? Was it you, or was it them? Chances are, neither of you was particularly at fault. In this brief episode I'll give you at least eight solid reasons why it happened. Several are specific to situations like this that might happen with women you're interested in. And yes, at least two of the others sound straight out of a Larry David plot on "Curb Your Enthusiasm". But since this is no joke when it happens, I'll also give you reliable ways to fix the situation to get you back on the right track socially.
