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.

He and his roommate would hold house parties and "audition" sexy women for spots on their social calendar. Nowadays, he's still the Chief Funstigator over at Attraction Rockstar, specializing in ways to meet women and charm them that have survived the infamous Pickup Artist era. Given that we as humans use the same lines over and over when making small talk with people in general, Race has identified at least 99 lines you …

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===You've heard of looksmaxxing. But it that really going to help you attract the kind of woman you really want? A lot of guys are falling for the trend, in large part because we've bought into the redpilled stereotypes--not only about women, but about ourselves. There's a much better way to think about "maxxing" out your attractiveness to women. Best of all, it's far more effective at getting the kind of women you've really wanted all along into your life. You don't have to "max" out to someone else's standards. Relax in being your 100% authentic self...but the best…

Co-Host Tommy Breedlove (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/livelegendary) This show drops one day before the 250th anniversary of the United States of America's Declaration of Independence. To celebrate, my long-time friend, returning guest and all-around American guy Tommy Breedlove from Live Legendary joins me to talk about American men and America women. Especially the women. This episode was recorded a couple of weeks ahead of time, when hardly anyone was talking about America 250. Even now as I write this, on July 2nd, there just isn't as much conversation--let alone celebration--going on as…

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Based on the comment sections from YouTube and TikTok, there's a problem out there that's starting to look more like a disease. It's all about how too many men respond to "thirst trap" videos, or the ones where men interact with sexy, attractive women. And nope, I'm not talking about the guys who post the "heart eyes" emojis and act like simps. That's no longer the trend. It's something completely different, and arguably more dangerous to your success with women should you fall into the trap. But fortunately, there's a much better way to frame your chances with e…

Co-Host Josh Bronfman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dreamer) My first-time guest Joshua Bronfman is a Certified Sleep Science Coach and the founder of Dreamer. He has made getting better sleep his life's mission. Now, it's pretty macho to make references to sleep being weak. For example, "I'll sleep when I'm dead". But then again, being exhausted and groggy isn't very manly, either. And worst of all is blowing an opportunity with a great woman because you were either too cranky or not quick enough on your feet in the moment due to lack of restful sleep. Above and beyond those social aspects …

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== There's nothing worse than approaching a woman, being on a date with her or even being in a relationship with her and you feel completely out of control. Your stress level rises, you feel emasculated and then what? You only get upset and frustrated. Well, every one of us as men has situations we CAN control, and when we focus on those it has a strange but almost magical effect on how we handle those situations we think we cannot control. And best of all, with a clear head we often find ways to take back control that our panic state had clouded us from seeing. Tak…

Arya curates sexual experiences for couples everywhere. Nicholas's IRB-approved study of over 600,000 people found about how guided erotic experiences actually affect long-term attraction and connection. What did the data from couples reveal about the specific communication gap men fall into around desire? Next, discover why attraction doesn't fade on its own, and what the data shows actually triggers or kills it in long-term Relationships

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== It's easy for us as men to say we'd really just like a normal, pretty average woman. After all, if you're who I call "Gen-Eric" you're wearing normal clothes, driving a normal car, working a normal job and living a normal life. So why wouldn't a woman like "Gen-Erica" who seems to match up well with you not want you? Well, that's not how it works, unfortunately. While it's definitely not about "average" women requiring some Chad to spoil them rotten, there is a certain part of your masculine nature that needs to be activated in order to get the result you want.

But how do you head-check yourself to make sure you're presenting your real, natural self when approaching and meeting women?

Co-Host Lauren Salaun (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/essence) We talk about the masculine/feminine dance quite a bit around here, but what is the very essence of femininity? And especially, how would a woman define that herself? My first-time guest is Lauren Salaun, who is a transformational facilitator and somatic life coach. When she came to me with the idea for this show, at first it sounded a bit basic. But after 500 episodes, we've never talked about it the way she presents it. So what IS femininity, and what ISN'T it? And how do women sometimes exhibit "masculine energy" even as feminin…
