=== 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? (Well, except for ONE key exception!) Snap up your ticket for this week's Masterclass For Men at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/masterclass

=== 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

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === By now you know one of my biggest soapboxes around here is to 'never, ever settle'. And yes, in order to expect the woman of your dreams, you have to also 'deserve what you want'--being the man the woman of your dreams wants in return. But you may be surprised to find out I believe there's another side of the coin, in that you don't ALWAYS have to set and adhere to your highest standards when it comes to dating and relating to women. So when should you really refuse to settle, and when is it okay to relax your ideals a bit? This brief episode tells all. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Brent Webb (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/webb) My first-time guest Brent Webb was happily into being a magician in the early part of his life, until a trip to Nepal changed his life forever. There, a monk invited Brent to imagine any word he wanted. When the monk nonchalantly spoke the correct word, 'lumberjack', Webb was floored. From there he gave 100% to learning everything he could about the true power of the mind. The first weird but fascinating concept he discovered was 'universal consciousness', including how 'our thoughts aren't our own'. What does that even mean? Well, nowadays Brent travels the globe not only explaining his findings, but also teaching millions to reprogram their subconscious minds for success and to become the person they have always wanted to be. So now that he's really not a mere magician but rather a mentalist in the legitimate sense, his live shows and training sessions show participants how to detect when someone is lying, how to improve memory and focus, how people use your own brain against you, and the mind hacks they can start using TODAY that will change the way they see the world and allow them to tap into their subconscious minds to enhance creativity and decision making. Basically, Brent's work is all about how YOU can unlock and unleash your subconscious mind to explode your growth in business, transform your social life and yes...revolutionize your success with women? How can you use what Brent teaches to get over your fear of approaching, talking to, dating and relating to women? What Brent talks about--and practices--is the closest thing to the movie Limitless you'll see in real life. Overall this is a unique and particularly fantastic episode. Wait until you hear how Brent beat cancer with his mind. Get in on the Masterclasses, download the free book Sticking Points Solved and MORE at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Well, you probably saw this one coming given how much I love to travel. But seriously, though...women talk about travel A LOT, especially in their online profiles. This, even though the only evidence they have of real, actual travel are a couple of pics from Cancun. What's up with that? Why is travel women's go-to subject when trying to meet guys, or even on first dates? I'll unravel the mystery AND give you a clear plan for what to DO with this information to enchant and attract more women than ever! More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Dr. Marcia Reynolds (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/assertive) When it comes to making our desires and grievances known, we as men can easily find ourselves landing on one side or the other of two extremes. Either we get angry and yell about it, or we bottle it all up and do nothing. Well, in this episode I'm joined by returning guest Dr. Marcia Reynolds. We kick things off by talking about how so many guys find it difficult to be assertive without either rocking the boat or creating some big, hairy misunderstanding. Even worse, most of us dread coming off like some sort of male 'Karen'. And I mean, we're all sick of feeling judged by others, so that's the last way we want to come off. Fortunately, there are simple ways to mitigate those situations, which Marcia happily explains. First off, our brains are naturally designed to judge everything to protect us, so how do we know how and when to act on those judgments when necessary...especially if it potentially involves someone else's behavior modification? And how can we be assertive without lapsing into passive aggression? On that note, what exactly does 'passive aggressive' actually mean? And what is the difference between toughness and assertiveness? Do women want us as men to be tough as nails all the time? I mean, is there zero margin for error there? And how should we be more assertive--or less so--within the context of our own relationship with a woman? Ha...that's a tricky one. How can arrogance cloud our effectiveness at being assertive? How does Hanlon's Razor factor into all of this? And the million dollar question...how do we measure how assertive to actually be in any given situation?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === This extra-brief episode covers a phenomenon that's not only disarmingly obvious once you recognize it, but also applicable to virtually 100% of us as humans. Given how the 'holy grail' of men's dating advice is a fall-out-of-bed simple but absolutely foolproof tip, this four-minute show delivers one of the few genuine ones you'll ever find. Just for good measure, I'll not only reveal what it is and how to use it, I'll tell you WHY it works so freaking well. Expect a clear advantage over all the other clueless guys out there...all while making women happier (and hotter) than ever. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com
