In the introductory podcast with both Tucker Max and Dr. Geoffrey Miller, they talk about their goals with the Mating Grounds Podcast, and the upcoming book, Mate. Tucker and Dr. Miller also discuss what they plan to teach guys, and how the Mating Grounds is different than the advice that guys get from other sources.

The Mating Grounds Introductory Podcast

Tucker and Dr. Miller examine what dating is really like for women, by discussing a thought-provoking hypothetical for guys, Tucker's experience in a gay bar, the varying consequences to sex for men and women, how men and women react differently in certain mating scenarios, and what it's like to be an attractive woman who gets hit on constantly.

What Is Dating Like For Women (and why does it matter to you)?

In this episode Tucker and Dr. Miller go through the different ways that women evaluate men: size, body shape, clothing, jewelry, smell and initial contact, and help guys understand what they are doing wrong, and how to fix it.

How Do Women Evaluate Men?

In this episode Tucker interviews John Durant, author of The Paleo Manifesto. John openly and honestly talks about his failings with women, and goes through the steps he took to become more confident and charismatic (with the help of paleo principles). John and Tucker also talk about the big problems that hold a lot of guys back, and how to fix them, as well as how to meet women in a big city like New York.

Most guys come off as awkward and creepy to girls, and they don't even realize they are doing it, or how to stop. This episode describes what initial social interactions are like from a woman's perspective, specifically details how guys go wrong in these interactions, describes the quick and easy things guys can do to solve this problem, and ultimately be more confident and effective in approaching women. Tucker also outlines the fundamental shift in mindset that led to a dramatic increase in his success with women (as well as making his life much more fun at the same time).

How To Stop Being Awkward And Creepy With Women

If you want actionable insights from a brilliant, accomplished, beautiful woman, this will be your favorite Mating Grounds interview so far. Isabel Behncke is a Primatologist at Oxford University. She begins by explaining her research with bonobos and lays out exactly what this means for guys: basically, she says to "feed the woman." Trust me, it'll make perfect sense the way she explains it. Isabel also tells you how to be vulnerable (which is very attractive) without coming off as needy (which girls don't like), what to do when you're taking a girl to dinner, and exactly how to correct the most common mistakes she sees guys making all the time.

Isabel Behncke Interview

In response to continual listener curiosity, Tucker and Dr. Miller discuss their opinions of the PUA/seduction community. Not just what it gets right and wrong, but how its systematic assumptions about women, men and relationships prevent its 'gurus' from providing effective long-term guidance to young and struggling guys. Tucker and Dr. Miller also talk about howThe Mating Grounds takes a very different approach to women and dating that solves these issues and engages many others the PUA community doesn't realize even exist.

High school sucks for everyone. That's just the way it is. It wasn't great for Tucker and Geoff either. But there are things you can do to make high school better. Tucker and Geoff tell you what you need to do to get the most out of those four years, including what type of jobs you should get and how to meet girls from outside of your high school. They also share their fantastic stories about how they "discovered" masturbation.

What Men Need To Know About High School (ages 14 -18)

Tucker interviews Dr. Christopher Ryan, the bestselling author of Sex at Dawn, the seminal text on the evolution of monogamy in human mating. Over the course of the hour, Tucker and Dr. Ryan touch on a number of fascinating subjects, but none more so than trust. Specifically, the idea that if a woman trusts you, she is more likely to feel comfortable exploring the limits of her sexuality with you. What does this mean in plain English? Provide a safe, comfortable space where she can trust you, and she'll let her freak flag fly.

Dr. Christopher Ryan Interview

In the second week of Helping Joe, Tucker Max and Charlie Hoehn talk about Joe's Tinder profile (what he did right and wrong), his first Tinder date, why small talk is so important and easy it is to do, why making a woman feel comfortable on the first date is critical to it going well (Joe fails at this in later episodes), and how to message or followup with a woman who "goes dark." Also, Tucker and Charlie make fun of Joe and the odd things he says.
