Scot McKay Dating Strategist

Scot McKay has shared bad jokes with North Korean military officers, sipped coffee at Pablo Escobar’s home (served by his maid), survived a shark attack while surfing, held his breath as the pride of lions walked by his tent, and blitzed through California canyons with his knee on the double-yellow line at 140 mph. Yet somehow, he has also been referred to as the “sane one” on Twitter by Scott Adams, of all people.

But despite once being mobbed by the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, being able to back a 30′ Travel trailer into its slot on the first try, and that time he beat the World Champion at his own sport (no details provided), he’s still the most objective and down-to-earth dating expert out there.

He’s also the most fluff-free fountainhead of original content in his field, if only because that’s what seventeen years of immersive geekery on the subject does for someone.

Scot’s wife Emily is his “proof of concept”, given that she’s just as sweet as she is smokin’ hot and still gets carded at her age. But you’ll never hear her brag about any of that, only Scot.

His show The Mountain Top has also been named a Top 10 Dating Podcast by DatingAdvice.com, and a long time ago Grader.com weirdly ranked Scot the #1 most influential Facebook user in the world.

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 lat…

=== 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 th…

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservwhatyouwant.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…

=== 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…

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, nowad…

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.

Post military service, Marty has built a career out of teaching men how the SEAL mindset wins in both business as well as on the battlefield. Also, how to be strategically visionary, and--interestingly enough--how to bend, break and even ignore the 'rules' to get results. In a world where many men believe being loud and bullying others is to be admired, and admitting to not knowing it all is "weak", Marty is--like every other SEAL I've ever met--almost dis…

Unfortunately, a lot of guys feel like even acknowledging the need for support in this area is an indication of weakness, but hey...we're only human. If we don't deal with our darkness and our demons, they'll ruthlessly deal with us until we do. So first off, how does our mental health affect both our attitudes and our actions toward women?

What we're talking about here is the magical continuum that takes us from meeting a woman all the way through to having a long-lasting and healthy relationship with her. It all starts with being what I call 'connectable' (as described in my Invincible program), then igniting each other's masculine/feminine polarity, then culminating in true compatibility. In this brief episode, I'll explain not only what those three stages look like, bu…
