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 Warwick Cairns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cairns) Well, you've heard me talk about how we as men tend to slip into the 'suburban sleepwalk' in this life. Everything is safe, sanitized and dinner comes from the supermarket or a fast-food joint. So along comes Warwick Cairns, author of a book called How To Live Dangerously, which exhorts us as men get back to our roots. That is, a life with a whole lot more danger in it. This is, of course, a wildly controversial stance in today's Western world. But our masculine nature craves it, and Warwick is still here to tell the story, so clea…

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Confidence is the very foundation of success with women. But do we just one day become confident? Is it just a decision we make or a switch we flip? Of course not. There are stages of confidence...a continuum, if you will. In this episode I'll reveal what those are, and why most of them are part of a good solid progression toward ultimate confidence. But beware...two of the steps should be skipped altogether, even if most guys don't realize it.

Co-Host John O'Brien (https://mountaintoppoodcast.com/rude) My first-time guest is executive coach, author, speaker and university instructor John O'Brien, whose book Rudeness Rehab caught my eye immediately. After all, there's no doubt that common civility has taken a dive in our culture over the past several decades, right? I mean, as men it's perfectly good to be a bit rough around the edges and be assertive when we need to, but dude...it's like people have lost all sense of being decent to each other nowadays. Along with that, even simple self-awareness and regard for others has gone out t…

Now that the election cycle is over, people are talking and acting differently. Are they even THINKING differently?

Most importantly, what should YOU be doing as a man in response to this current zeitgeist RIGHT NOW, and going into 2025?

So what's the latest way Derek's creative approach to life positively affect YOUR fortunes with women?

But wait a minute...what if you can proactively--and int…

In this brief episode I'll reveal a whole new, out-of-the-box way of thinking about purpose that will not only supercharge your ability to find purpose, but will most likely greatly increase your fulfillment in whatever you accomplish and however you make the world a better place.

My returning guest Matt Cook has been up to some very interesting research on how our body chemistry as men can either make or break our attractiveness to women. He kicks off the show by revealing what he has been studying lately. For example, he has been amazed by how much men can increase their results with women as well as their positive feelings toward their significant other just by making a few simple tweaks that…

But far be it from me to point out problems without offering solutions. So as promised, in this brief six-minute episode I'll show you the nearly foolproof way to inspire women to be sexually interested in you. Sure, it involves some out-of-the-box thinking, but that only means YOU will have the clear advantage with women from now on over most other guys.

This is not to be confused with being a 'simp' or some kind of pushover. This also isn't another 'Hero's Journey' talk, either. We're talking about real, actual heroism here...as the woman in your life sees it. My guest is psychotherapist and author Ed Nissin, who has thought enough about this subject that he actually wrote a book called Song Of The Hero. For sta…

Well, almost every time a very specific issue is affecting their success. In this short episode, I'll not only define what it is, I'll show you exactly why it doesn't work. How do I know? Because it definitely doesn't work when women try the same thing with us as men. And not to worry...in next week's SFTS, I'll show you what TO do instead.

And in this brief episode I'm blowing the lid off the myths the PUA movement perpetrated about hot babes at clubs, their little black dresses, their snobby attitudes and especially their 'rejection mechanism'. How can you grab a pair and approach, talk to and make plans with women more easily than you ever have in the past? Well...start with TH…
