Co-Host Jim Wolfe (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wolfe) The topic of today's show is how to go from simply dating a woman you really like to making her your girlfriend. I realize plenty of you are probably saying, 'Great...but first I need a woman I really like in my life to begin with.' Fair enough, and that's where my guest and fellow dating strategist for men Jim Wolfe begin the discussion. And it should come as no surprise that Jim beats the same drum about how to do that nowadays that I have for months now. What is the best practice for using dating apps, or tech in general, to get a great girlfriend? What's behind the assumption nowadays that couples just sort of find themselves together after 'hanging out' for a while? And by the way, when is a date really a date...or not so much? Should you announce it as such up front? How did we as men get so wadded up in fear over the prospect of expressing initial interest in a woman...or expressing interest even during or after a so-called 'date'? How to we diffuse that wiring? How does our tendency as men to take ourselves so seriously all the time enter into this conversation? What should you do if the woman you really like already has a boyfriend? Finally, we cover how to have 'the talk' with a woman to either keep things non-exclusive OR begin an exclusive relationship with her.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Finally, the full episode on a topic that everyone wonders about. It's no secret that men often want to date younger women. But what is it about those guys who are actually successful at doing so? And is it really true that many amazing young women actually prefer older men? First off, what actually counts as an 'older man' to a younger woman? Does the 'half your age plus seven' rule make any sense? What if our mental images and/or stereotypes about what an older man and younger woman look like as a couple are challenged? Above and beyond all of that, what are some legit factors to consider when there's an age gap? I mean, is age really 'just a number'? What's up with dating sites only for people over fifty...is that what the market is really looking for? And speaking of online dating, how about those sites that specialize in 'sugar daddy' arrangements? Is there something to be said for being an 'old soul', looking for someone who's a better fit at an older age? Or is it that younger women like older men because 'little boys don't grow up'? Wait a minute...on that note, is it that men who prefer younger women really only want a tighter, sexually fit body to have sex with? Or is there more to both what younger women and older men tend to be looking for? And what about the 'skeletons in the closet' as we get older, and the effect it has on dating someone younger? What if older guy's new young wife wants to have kids? And is younger wife still gonna be 'all in' when her husband is old and in need of care while she's still young and active? Hmm...maybe the REAL secret to be discovered here is how to be attractive like an older guy while you're still a younger guy.

Co-Host Derek Loudermilk (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/derek) Many people rely mostly upon what they can see. Visual attractiveness, visual flirtation cues, verbal conversation, and the like. But we know that attraction itself--like oxygen--is very real, yet we can't actually see it with our physical eyes. Well, my long-time friend and enthusiast toward all things metaphysical Derek Loudermilk returns to the show once again to talk about all the unseen forces we can harness to get better at relating to women. If that sounds like a unique topic, it probably is. I for sure hadn't heard it discussed elsewhere. That only means you can expect a 100% unique and original conversation, made all the more interesting by Derek's one-of-a-kind thought processes. Did you know the Nobel Prize for physics two years ago was given to scientists who basically proved that your 'reality' is wholly invented by the mind? Clearly, that idea sets the whole conversation off into a really wild and fascinating direction. What's the difference between practicing the ancient rite of ho'oponopono and being a doormat like Mr. Nice Guy? Can we experience unconditional love toward a woman without becoming a simp? What about 'unseen' fear that may be ruining our chances with women? Next, here's an interesting question: How do we get 'liquid courage' without drinking? Is there an unseen relationship between that social isolation so many of us experience and the lack of self-awareness that's so prevalent nowadays? And what's up with so many guys refusing to believe truth about men, women and relating together that IS objectively visible?

Co-Host Amanda Ludwig (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/ludwig) Amanda Ludwig was a busy businesswoman with a lot going on. Then, she started feeling some scary symptoms and went to the doctor, who told her point blank, 'slow down or die'. So then, since there was a lot of truth in Robin Williams' infamous joke, 'Death is God's way of saying, 'slow down'', she took her doctor's advice. Now, she's devoted to sending the message to 'Type A' folks everywhere to know and heed the signs of burn-out. After Amanda relates her story, including what her symptoms were, we talk about the important relationship between stress and burnout--a problem that particularly affects men. By the way, why are we as men particularly prone to this syndromic process? And why is it that mentally tough people are also so susceptible to the problem? What are some of the other warning signs that we're overstressed and experiencing burn-out? How are we as men supposed to 'slow down' when the pace of life is the fastest and most intense it has ever been in human history, and I'm still expected to 'wear the pants' and be the provider and protector? And assuming it is possible, practically speaking, where do we even start...and how? I mean, some of us may be feeling burned out, and yet aren't even really accomplishing much in the process. What's up with that? And what are the secrets of incredibly productive achievers who do NOT experience burnout? And apart from the differences between how men and women experience burnout, how is a high-achieving man supposed to find a smart, successful badass woman he has much in common with when so many of them are trading marriage and family life for their careers?
