The Chick Whisperer Podcast

Co-Host Monica Irauzqui (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/yampu) My guest Monica Irauzqui is a lifelong world traveler and comes to us from Yampu Tours in California. She has fantastic ideas not only for dudes who feel the need for more adventure in their lives, but also for couples who want to go way beyond the boring, conventional getaway to the beach or the mountains. For starters, she claims the absolute best trip for an adventure-minded couple would be to go on an African safari. She even claims it's a great idea for a honeymoon...just watch out for the black mambas and the night-stalking cape buffalo out there on the Serengeti. Before you even get around to that, however, Monica is also all about helping you plan the most memorable proposal to your future wife ever...and has done it lots of times. Like me, she also firmly believes that a good, solid road trip is a fantastic indicator of whether or not a dating couple is truly compatible with each other or not. Meanwhile, however, can bickering between cou

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  As a man, there's a time to be assertive, stand up for what you believe it, and possibly even fight about it. But nowhere does a man's lack of character in that regard tend to rear its ugly head than on social media. 'Silent tantrums' and 'safe rebellion' are two key examples of how men tend to betray their lack of manliness in this way. What do those concepts mean? They're both oxymorons and therefore sound alike, so how are they related...yet different? Once you know how these two dynamics work, you're sure to NEVER fall into their trap...even when the opening ceremony at The Olympics draws everyone else in.

Co-Host Todd Kashdan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/todd) The term 'insubordination' carries a negative connotation, for sure. But sometimes, it's exactly what's necessary in politics, your social life, your household and even--yes--in the workplace. But even when we truly care about whatever the cause is, we often worry about being at best 'high-maintenance', or at worst other than a 'team player' if and when we challenge the status quo. My returning guest is the author of The Art Of Insubordination, and in this episode we tackle the intricacies of combining bold manhood with our tendency to want to keep the peace. What is the true tradeoff between being a curious, independent thinker and simply keeping your head down? And aren't people who are disrupters like this usually jerks? In situations where we suspect 'groupthink', how do we find the right words and/or the right person to talk to about it? And what's the right approach to take in such scenarios? When should we seek to find a 'co-subordinate' to hel

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  Lately we've been talking about confidence, and rightly so. After all, it's the very prerequisite for any kind of success with women. That all starts with actually having the stones to approach and meet a woman, right? Well, in this episode I'll reveal the EXACT five-word phrase that immediately communicates confidence to women when you approach them. The real magic, however, is that it not only presents a confident first impression, it powerfully instills confidence in HER. And that, gentlemen, is a major key to making her feel safe and confident with you. Add it all up and you have an unbeatable winning combination...all in five words.

Co-Host Nick Shelton (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/introvert) A whole lot of guys who aren't exactly where they want to be with women are introverts by nature. But here's the deal...most of the time they aren't seeing the success they want because they either THINK introverts aren't as good with women, or they've been TOLD introverts aren't good with women. My returning guest Nick Shelton literally wrote the book on this subject, and he and I are all about empowering YOU to have the kind of women you really want in your life. First off, what are the misconceptions about introversion? What if you're an 'ambivert', and your frame is somewhat variable from situation to situation? Why are the new paradigms for not only socializing but workplace environments a very real paradise for introverts? And what about social media? Even though it doesn't involve physically interacting with a big crowd of people, it still seems to be the extroverts who are drawn to it. What's up with that? Can introverts actually be bette

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Obviously, women are attracted to confidence. But how are we supposed to be confident if we're not 'genetically gifted', or otherwise lack some of the stereotypical traits we're told over and over again that women want in a man? I mean, do we even have the right to be confident? For some of us as men, it hits our mindset so hard that we can start believing we shouldn't so much as have the audacity to attempt to approach a woman, let alone expect anything good to come from it. Can you overcome that? If so, HOW? Stay tuned... More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === The content in this show is NEVER generated by AI.

Co-Host Young Han (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/girldad) A quick Google search will reveal tons of info on masculinity and attracting women. But fatherhood, not so much. Why don't men talk much about fatherhood, whether we have sons, daughters or both? Well, my guest is none other than the host of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han. Despite the title of both his show and this episode, we end up talking almost as much about fathering sons as daughters...and you'll see why. To kick things off, Young and I consider how men often fear fatherhood...and how if if they don't, they typically want sons. But what is it about fathering daughters that is just as amazing, if in a completely different way? Is it true that daughters are often easier to handle as little kids than sons, but more difficult as teenagers? But wait a minute...what is the unique challenge teenage sons often bring? Can you avoid the widely-reported tipping point where your kids apparently turn on you in their teen years? How do you handle that "awkward

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === If you've ever experienced the specific scenario I describe in this episode, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. And yes...there is a certain situation where everything you've ever been taught about 'The Rules Of Dating' go out the window. And with them, all the game playing, all the fear of looking needy or desperate, all the fake 'waiting periods', etc., etc. No more 'three second rules', let alone 'three day rules'. Sound great? It is. But there's a catch...this decidedly happier and more evolved situation is only there for those who truly deserve what they want.

Co-Host Christy Kerns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/luma) My first-time guest is Christy Kerns, who is the VP of Client Relations at high-end matchmaking firm Luma Luxury Matchmaking. Christy oversees the entire group of matchmakers over at her firm, so she has plenty of insight into how dating and relating has changed in recent months and years. My first question to her is why almost all matchmakers are women...and her answer makes perfect sense. From there, her very first two comments on what has changed since the pandemic were indeed ones I hadn't given much attention to as of yet, and they're both fascinating takes. How have daters actually become more patient in recent years, despite the fast-pace in general of post-modern reality? And what is really behind the trend of older women looking for younger men nowadays? What are the subtle changes that have occurred because of that bigger change of people having become far more politically-focused than in decades past? And what is the current state of peopl

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Whenever most men happen to encounter a woman they'd say is a '10 out of 10', they automatically rule out any possibility of attracting her at all, let alone girlfriending her. But this Snippet From The Summit serves as a 'wake up' call to both our confidence and our logical grasp of such situations. For starters, women you consider 'tens' might not be as unattainable as you might think...for several reasons. What's more, when you get her attention the RIGHT way, you actually have a BETTER chance at KEEPING it than you do even with 'average' women. Here's the surprising--and confidence-inspiring--reason why .

Co-Host Dr. Thomas Jordan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/jordan) An increasingly disturbing trend is toward unabashedly transactional relationships between men and women. But what does that even mean? My returning guest is Dr. Thomas Jordan, a clinical psychologist and love live researcher who may be the very best guy to answer that question. Dr. Jordan (you can call him Tom) and I talk first about the reasons why relationships have moved away from concepts like, oh...intimacy and connection, and more toward what each respective party can get out of the deal. Is there any wonder the divorce rate is so high? Well, as it turns out, there's more there than meets the eye...and it's fascinating. What is the connection between transactional relationships and what Tom calls 'defensive relationships'? And is it possible to have a purely transactional relationship even if the two of you have 'fallen in love'? What if the person you want to serve your needs in a relationship actually has needs of their own...but both

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Picture this... You're at a social gathering and you see some other guy talking to exactly the woman you had your eye on. She's laughing, hitting him on the shoulder and, well...looks like she's thoroughly attracted to him. But here's the thing...every time YOU finally get the chance to talk to a woman you really want, you never see ANY of those signals. What's going on there? Well, as this Snippet From The Summit clearly demonstrates, you're probably in for a surprise...and it's the best kind possible. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com    

Co-Host Marcus Oakey (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/marcus) My returning guest is British charisma coach Marcus Oakey, who is exactly who you need to help you get past small talk with people, and especially get through that awkward 'cordial' stage that ensues. What is it exactly about cordial small talk that's lacking, and what kind of conversation is it we should actually be moving toward instead? And what if you're indeed pretty good at making conversation with people, but still encounter some who are virtually impossible to talk to? Is it YOU, or THEM? And in such cases, where can you find small talk out of nowhere when you need it? And what do you do if you don't get the desired response from the other person? Do you have to be a brilliant conversationalist to be a charismatic presence? When it comes to early-stage conversation, how can we as men unwire our competition mindset, as if every interaction is going to be a win or a loss? The truth is you can achieve true connection and rapport with people and

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Some guys give themselves a false sense of empowerment by blaming women for everything that goes wrong in relationships. In their estimation, any man who tries to 'do better' in a bad situation with a woman is acting like a weakling. But doesn't that leave us perpetually at an impasse when it comes to potential success with women? There's got to be a way to improve our ability to attract women and earn their respect than simply kowtowing to the ones who hammer us with double-standards. And fortunately, there indeed is.

Co-Host Dr. Avrum Weiss (https://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/avrum) The first time my guest Dr. Avrum Weiss was on, he threw down some enlightening yet challenging ideas about not only HOW we as men tend to be afraid of women, but WHY. This time, he returns to go into more detail about how even those of us who THINK we're pretty much fearless out there with women are hamstringing ourselves when it comes to success with women. As his book's title says, much of this self-sabotage happens in plain sight. What's more, women themselves also see our fear...and yet typically offer little to no help in letting us see our own proverbial forest for the trees. Why is this all apparently so simple, yet so complicated at the same time? Well, Avrum starts off by explaining how we as men experience fear of women as opposed to how women perceive it. As much as we associate fear with the attraction process and dating, where does most of it REALLY come from? Then we explain exactly why so many men attract 'average' women withou

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It happens to every one of us. You meet a woman who in almost every way is beautiful, sexy, altogether sane and...well, PERFECT for you. EXCEPT ONE. And man...if she'd just change THAT one annoying habit or attraction faux pas, everything would be perfect. Well, what should you do? Should you just deal with it, or is there a workable strategy to affect the change? The answer--as in all too many scenarios in this life--is it depends. That's what we'll cover quickly and concisely in this episode. Oh, and by the way...what if she announced to YOU that there's just ONE THING about YOU that drives HER nuts? We've got that covered as well. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === The content in this show is NEVER generated by AI.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coach) First and foremost, if you think even for a second that this episode is going to be about two dinosaurs reminiscing about the past, you're in for a surprise. Given how Emily and I have been totally immersed in dating and relationship stuff for nearly 20 years, we've had our fingers on the pulse of how men and women relate for a LONG time. On top of that, with a milestone high school reunion coming up this year, I've found myself thinking about how dating and relating has evolved...and surprised myself with a few key revelations. With all of that in mind, Emily and I have an honest, eye-opening conversation featuring straight talk about what we're GLAD isn't going on anymore. And yes, we also find a few examples of really good stuff that used to happen that just doesn't anymore. For instance, what good has online dating and the proliferation of Internet dating advice done...but at what cost? How did 'hookup culture' change the game? How about pharmaceu

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You don't hear me talk about women in bars and clubs very often. As it turns out, there are plenty of good reasons for that. Not only do the PUAs tend to have that covered, most of you guys listening to this show are NOT pickup artists anyway. So why is it, then, that so many of us are left to believe that the advice for attracting women out on the town in Los Angeles or Miami will work with the kind of women we REALLY want...in the town we REALLY live in? This is the take many of you might have been waiting YEARS to hear.

Co-Host Jillian Romero Chaves (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/clara) My guest Jillian Romero Chaves is the founder and CEO of an app called Clara For Daters, which she emphasizes is NOT a dating app. As an active dater and a dating advocate herself as a single woman, she developed Clara as a tool to empower dating app users to get the most out of their rapidly-declining experience. Now, it's no secret that the vast majority of dating app users are indeed growing more disillusioned--if not flat-out disgusted with--their lack of success nowadays. But are dating apps indeed worth saving? With people's social muscles still atrophied out there as much as ever, Jillian is looking for ways that online dating apps can somehow start serving their users better. In fact, her optimistic hope is that the apps will start seeing their customers as daters instead of mere users. What does she mean by that, exactly? And since Jillian is dedicated to cultivating genuine, in-person social connections, she feels compelled to conf

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT ===  The media and society at large tend to dictate what we are to find sexually attractive. You may have noticed that already, but have you ever noticed how what we're told to consider attractive almost always has ONE tricky feature in common? Meanwhile, I will PROVE in this brief Snippet From The Summit how what we as men have been trained to consider sexy and appealing isn't always what REALLY turns us on. Not only is that perfectly fine and normal, other languages even have words to describe this whole phenomenon that don't translate into English. Meanwhile, women out there are still brainwashed into trying to fit societal 'standards'...often to the detriment of real sexual attractiveness.
