1. Why Women Get Addicted To A Man - MTP400 Scot McKay 45:13

Co-Host Zan Perrion (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/zan) For this milestone 400th episode of The Mountain Top Podcast, I’m joined by my long-time friend and returning guest and Alabaster Girl author Zan Perrion from Ars Amorata. The inspiration for the topic of this show was a post in Zan’s own Facebook group about so-called ‘alpha widows’. An ‘alpha widow’ is a woman who becomes completely addicted to a certain man, and when that guy is out of her life she is unable to find another who measures up in her estimation. It’s a fascinating enough concept that it has been on my radar screen for well over a year now. About a dozen other dating experts wouldn’t touch it, so it came down to Zan himself to help break it down. So kick things off, what in the world is it that a man does to ‘alpha widow’ a woman? What, if anything can we do if we encounter one and would love to make her forget Whatshisname? And wait…why can’t WE become the one who is creating such ‘alpha widows’ ourselves from now on instead of dealing with the ones other dudes have created? Is that even something we’d WANT to do? Is it even ethical? And how do we even know when we’ve created one? Should we start ‘charm throttling’ on first dates if this becomes a pattern? What if a woman has become sexually ‘addicted’ to another man? And finally what if a woman ‘alpha widowers’ US? If it happens, how did she do that? And once she disappears, does she have to remain ‘the one who got away’ forever, or can we get over her? Thank you to ALL of you gentlemen for supporting this show for 400 episodes over the course of the last 17 years. I appreciate each and every one of you greatly. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

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.
