=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  Years ago I wrote a book called Cook For Your Date, which is still available to this day. Although lots of guys SAID they'd love to acquire that skill, it didn't sell so well because, well...most guys probably think cooking is something women do...unless we're grilling, of course. Well then, what am I thinking with the apparently gender-reversing title of this episode? Well, just this morning I realized there is even more power behind inviting a woman over your house and cooking for her than I ever previously thought. You're about to hear the newest and latest on that. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Dr. Gary Salyer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/salyer) Whenever you go to a wedding, you can instinctively tell whether the couple getting married is built to last or not. We've all heard murmurs at wedding receptions to the effect of, 'I give them six months", right? But for some reason, far too many of us have a serious blind spot when it comes to choosing a woman in hopes of having a long-term relationship with her. My returning guest Gary Salyer and I have that all-important (and overdue) conversation in this action-packed episode. So first off, the obvious question... Why in the world do couples get married when it's blatantly obvious to everyone else that it's a horrible mistake? Does what we all think of as 'compatibility' really matter when it comes to a relationship's staying power? If not that, then what could the major linchpin of relationship longevity actually be? The answer will surprise you. Continuing onward, Gary shares four major feelings that have to be happening between a couple in order for a relationship go the long haul. (And nope, simple 'love' isn't one of them...that would be too easy!) How do men and women both unwittingly sabotage relationships, even when they WANT them to last? How does fear enter into all of this...and where does that fear even come from? Why is it we can push away someone who is perfect for us...much to the frustration of the other person, of course? If you want to cut through all the noise and finally meet a woman who is ready to meet you, then head to https://mountaintoppodcast.com

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  A guy asked me if normal women in the real world will actually do striptease shows for you or give you lap dances. The answer is 'it depends'...but most women would LOVE to do that stuff for you. If that sounds frustrating, this week's brief episode will clear it all up. You'll find out it all has to do with who she is, how you've led to that point, and especially how you've made her feel so far. Think you have it all figured out? Expect surprises...along with plenty of fresh ideas that are guaranteed to make these kind of sexcapades more fun for both of you. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Kamini Wood (https//mountaintoppodcast.com/wood) My returning guest Kamini Wood is a human potential coach, and commentator on male/female relationships. I invited her feminine self to join me for a down-to-earth discussion about how women tend to define what a 'real man' is to them. Now for sure, as a grown-ass man you definitely will define yourself, whether you like it or not. But...given how masculinity and femininity are the catalysts of sexual attraction, if you'd like to make women crazy about you sexually, it would be a fantastic idea to find out what the consider to be masculine. Well, it turned out to be quite the disruptive conversation, as Kamini went headfirst into talking about how we as men need to be more in tune with our emotional selves. But what's the difference between being 'in our feminine' if we do that vs. staying true to being a real man? Apparently, it's tricky. What does Kamini have to say about the ways women look to men to create true safety and security? Why do so many guys clam up when it's time to say something, and then say that which should have been left unsaid? Is it all in the name of being 'stoic'? How do women tend to feel about men bringing out their 'dark side' in certain situations? What if we've really been beaten down by the pressures of life lately? Should we not burden our significant other with those feelings, or what? Overall, expect a reset from this episode with regard to what women think masculine 'weakness' looks like compared to how we as men tend to view it.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  For about 15 years now, the word "simp" has been used to describe a man who begs, grovels, or otherwise diminishes himself and his dignity in a feeble attempt to somehow attract women by supplicating to them or being 'nice'. But if simping causes women to lose attraction and sexual interest, there are a WHOLE lot of men out there who are committing what I call 'reverse simping'. They're acting in a way that they believe comes off as MORE macho, more resilient to a woman's potential 'rejection', and the like. But in reality, they occur to women as even weaker and more clueless than the straight-forward simps out there. Tune in to make it all make sense. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Wesley Tian (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/aragon) About a year and a half ago I produced a now-infamous audio program called Women And AI. I covered the good, the bad and the ugly about how AI was--and will continue to--affect us as men as we date and relate to women. But here we are in March of 2025, and there's no denying the AI ship has sailed. This is NOT a fad. You can either lead, follow or get out of the way. Wesley Tian of Aragon.ai is one who made the firm decision to lead. Ever notice how every realtor, lawyer and quasi-public figure has an AMAZING professional headshot lately? Yeah, that's probably because they hit Wesley up for his services. Wesley is my guest this week, and I'm going to openly admit he has challenged my entire thought process regarding AI in many ways. For starters, I actually gave Aragon.ai a whirl, and yes...the pictures look like me. Not only that, they look like me with a better wardrobe that I didn't have to go out and buy for a photo shoot, and are at least as high-quality as any professional photographer would have been able to capture, for probably 8% of the cost...and without half a day wasted on it, either. It struck me that these 'fake' pictures were absolutely more REAL than, say, any retouched photo or certainly any Glamour Shot ridiculousness from the '80s and '90s. But here's the thing... Wesley also specializes in online dating pictures. That's where I'm still not completely convinced. But we'll report, and you decide. Either way, the future is here...and everyone who's on the bandwagon will have an undeniably clear advantage. By the way, as is typically the case in matters like these, the women out there are already WAY ahead of you. Get in on the latest Masterclass and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  So you've heard how women don't actually like sex. They just use it as some sort of weird 'bargaining chip' to get men to kowtow to them or something. But on the other hand, you've also heard that if you don't please a woman in bed the way she craves, she'll leave you for a man who will. So which is it? Or could everything be different than it seems? Well, the truth is there's a pretty exact time and place when getting to know a woman where you're going to have to show up sexually, or she WILL leave. The problem is few men have that sense of timing. All of that changes after this brief episode. By the way, women themselves usually get 'stuck in the middle' in a completely different way...which is a HUGE help to understand. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Nowadays we live in a culture that extols selfhood and immediate gratification. As marriage becomes less revered as an institution, lots of people are asking if there's really any reason to hold off from having sex extremely early in the relationship...even on the same day they meet. I mean, if that's what both of you want, why not? But as we all know, life has a way of throwing complications at you...even if you're all about nothing more than a sexually transactional relationship. Whatever happened to connection? What even IS 'connection' anyway, and does it have to take very long to happen? If the two of you are horny and just want to have a fling, to what extent do you even HAVE to connect...at all? Isn't sexual chemistry enough in that case? And what if you're a person of faith and don't believe in sex before marriage? Does that mean you're basically supposed to remain platonic friends until your wedding night? Well, we all know the truth about 'technical virginity' and how fragile even that is vis-a-vis natural human urges and impulses. Does having sex too soon in a relationship negatively affect the prospects for a long-term relationship? I mean, can you trust each other away from home when you couldn't even resist temptation together? But on the other hand, can your sexual relationship suffer if you waited too LONG? Why is what the pickup artist movement used to teach really a disservice to both women AND men? But wait a minute...does one partner really HAVE to lie or cheat the other in order to make sex happen fast? That aside, what--if anything--do we miss out on as humanoids by rushing into a sexual relationship immediately? What is 'the talk' every couple should have before having sex?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Last week I gave two reasons why a man would lower his standards when it comes to women. One was almost always a bad idea, while the other could have its time and place. But what happens when a guy has BOTH factors working? That's when mayhem ensues, and in this episode I'll explain exactly how and why that's the case. For now, let's just say it's yet another way we as men can be our own worst enemy...all for no good reason. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Georganne Chapin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/intact) This very special episode is part of Podcasthon.org going on this week. It's an international effort to raise awareness for charities of podcast hosts' choice. I am thrilled to participate, and I have chosen to highlight Intact America, which is the foremost campaign in the USA against circumcision of male infants. Georganne Chapin is the Executive Director of IntactAmerica.org. She joins me for a frank and sometimes shocking discussion that will serve to give any and every man 20/20 foresight about foreskin. So what inspired Georganne to become such an activist for a men's cause, and why did she write her book, This Penis Business: A Social Activist's Memoir? Why is the USA basically the only country left on earth that still cuts boys? I mean, given that female circumcision is universally considered mutilation, why is the situation with boys any different? What were the weird myths that brought about the perceived need to circumcise boys to begin with, and how are doctors finally starting to speak up against it? Apart from the obvious pain and trauma needlessly inflicted upon babies, why is circumcision a bad deal for men for our entire lives? What are we missing out on by missing our foreskins? And how is the procedure just another cog in the medical industrial complex? This podcast indeed sheds necessary light on a very real problem that receives FAR too little attention, let alone outrage. The first step is education, and the next step is--of course--leaving our own sons intact. Download all the free goodies and more at https://mountaintoppodcast.com
