Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Who knows why this topic hadn't been covered yet around here? My edumckayted guess is it probably had something to do with repressed memories. Yes, Emily and I both are survivors of first marriages affected by profound illness. And yes...we both strongly agree you would be better off avoiding psychotic people in general, especially the sexy female ones. But when you get right down to it, that's only one kind of woman you should definitely run away from. So why is it, then, that too many of us as men end up with the wrong woman? Is it that we ignore red flags? Is it failure to even recognize red flags at all? Or does low self-esteem compel us to settle, which is at least better than being lonely? Is it about being 'clouded by beauty vision'? For sure, some people--men OR women--are manipulated or even threatened by black-hearted partners into sticking around. Or what if it's something else entirely? Well, here at X & Y Communications we believe in deserving what you want. That means rolling up the sleeves and doing what it takes to get the RIGHT woman into your life. Well, after this ironically funny and entertaining episode, we pledge you'll be much better equipped to pick up on warning signs, make better decisions and most of all...ultimately weed out crazy, selfish, mean, addicted, needy and/or fundamentally incompatible women.

Co-Host April Davis (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/april) Bringing up the topic of what women are looking for tends to trigger heavy-duty cynicism in men. After all, we've all met our fair share of golddiggers, and most of us have been thoroughly confused by women's signals our whole lives...especially the sexual ones. Well, my guest today is April Davis, president of the LUMASearch matchmaking firm in Minneapolis, MN. As a professional matchmaker, she spends her days immersed in helping women find exactly the kind of man they want. Naturally, women want some of the very things you suspect they do--and tune in as April mirrors some of my favorite soapbox points on the subjects without any hints from me. However, April's female perspective, balanced and practical such that it is, means you can expect some refreshing (and surprising) takes from her on where women's heads are nowadays. And rest assured, you don't have to lose your wallet or your dignity to thrill a woman. Quite the opposite, in fact. So what if women are looking for something we find upsetting or distasteful? Purely transactional 'arrangements' come to mind. Is that actually okay as long as they both are looking for the same things? And along those lines, are all women looking for 'happily ever after' with Prince Charming anyway? When women say they want a man with a sense of humor, what do they mean? What are high-achieving women in particular looking for? Is it true some women really are looking for 'a woman with a penis'? And what's up with more older women looking for younger men?

Co-Host Avrum Weiss (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/avrum) We don't talk about it. Many of us probably don't even admit it, at least not in public. But the vast majority of us as men are afraid of women...in at least one way, shape or form. We're afraid to approach them and talk to them. We're afraid of 'rejection'. We're afraid they'll cry foul and accuse us of doing something we didn't do. Or we're afraid we'll disappoint them, falling short of being a 'hero' of sorts. Maybe we're afraid of 'failing to deploy' when the chips are down, inside OR outside the bedroom. And you can be darn skippy sure plenty of us fear what will happen to us if ever dragged into divorce court. These fears are exacerbated in part because we as men are told we're not supposed to be afraid of anything, but it's all made even worse by the simple fact that we're ESPECIALLY not supposed to be afraid of women. But here's the truly crazy part. Have you ever stopped to consider that for the most part, women have NEVER imposed fear upon us to begin with? They've never WANTED us to be afraid of them. In fact, most women don't even comprehend how--or why--we're scared of them to begin with. If that's true (and it is), then there's only one logical conclusion to draw: our fear of women is SELF-IMPOSED. My guest, Dr. Avrum Weiss is a psychologist specializing in this area of thought. Wait until you hear his unique and extremely smart angle on how all the dynamics of this work. To say it's completely above and beyond anything you've ever read in men's dating advice is an understatement. Get in on the new Un-Settled program at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/unsettled

Co-Host Roger Williams (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/roger) Ever since the movie called The Bucket List came out in 2007, plenty of people have put together their own version of it. Not everyone, however. Plenty of people are apparently content to do the 'suburban sleepwalk', waking up to do what they did yesterday, and what they'll also do tomorrow, ad infinitum. Well, my guest Roger Williams had a wakeup call in late 2020 when he suffered a heart attack. Suddenly, it was obviously a mistake to assume we can wait until retirement to do everything fun or adventurous that we've ever dreamed of doing. These days, he's not only passionate about crossing off items from his own bucket list, he's all about encouraging you to build a bucket list of your own and do the same. He even hosts a show called The Crossing It Off Podcast. So then, what are the kind of items that are perfect to add to our own bucket lists? What would be a BAD reason to add a particular item to it? What are the kinds of things most men completely forget to add to their lists, but which surely SHOULD be added? And why is it that great experiences tend to be the lowest priority when it comes to setting our personal budgets? Meanwhile, what is it about those amazing experiences that just might make them a better investment than anything else? And what is it about the way men and women are wired differently that makes it nothing short of mission-critical for us as men to build that bucket list? Come for the inspiration, stay for the stories about barbecue, ukuleles and pro wrestling. And YES...the first step to getting out of your rut and start doing what you really want is to get your hands on the new Un-Settled program: https://mountaintoppodcast.com/unsettled
