Singapore Dating Coach David Tian, Ph.D., Interviews Alumnus Lion: Inside the Players’ Lounge, Episode 4, Part 1

Inside the Players’ Lounge, Episode 4, Part 1: Interview with Lion
This episode touches on a favorite topic of mine: That the qualities that many Asians mistakenly take to be “Asian thought” or “Asian culture” or “Asian philosophy” are actually not at all what elite Asians throughout history have believed or how they have behaved.
In this interview, I chat with alumnus Lion, who first got coaching from me when he was just an 18 yo. He was raised and educated in elite settings in Singapore, went on to become director of multiple branches of a multinational financial firm, and is now taking his degree at Oxford University.
Some of the lessons you’ll learn in this interview include…
* The confessions of a young Singaporean man about how his elite upbringing and education enabled him to see the world differently from the average guy and how this helped him succeed in life
* The secret of Asian and Singapore elites in getting and staying ahead in society and why Confucius would agree with them
* How you can use this elite secret to succeed in life and love, especially in Asia
* Why losers think, “I really should do this but I”m not going to start until I can devote all my time to it,” why this is horrible thinking, and how winners approach life differently.
“Inside the Players’ Lounge” is a series of interviews of top dating coaches and social artists who are Asian, are based in Asia, or have a deep interest in Asia and its women.
Asian Dating Coach in Singapore Interviewed by SK-II Men’s Skincare Brand
January 17, 2012 | 4 comments
One of the world’s most high-end beauty brands, SK-II approached me for an interview on my thoughts about their new skincare line for men. I’ve got to say, I’ve tried a lot of different products, and their men’s line is the highest quality I’ve ever used. It will probably be sold at high price point, too. They haven’t launched yet in Singapore, so I’m rationing my samples at the moment. Obviously, they paid me an honorarium for filming my interview, but I have no problems at all endorsing their top of the line men’s skincare products. Give them a try once they’re released 
Sheiryn Aisiqa and Lifestyle Travel Tips
January 16, 2012 | 13 comments
This post is about my relationship with my girlfriend and a few great travel tips we’ve come up with from our travels around the world.
Note: If you like personal posts like this, make sure you check out our facebook fan page, where I post much more frequently: www.facebook.com/auradating
Maybe some of you hadn’t picked up on this, and though we were as subtle about this as we could be, I’m still surprised that so many people hadn’t clued in yet. So just in case it’s not crystal clear, I want to make it more than obvious that I’ve been in an exclusive, committed relationship with my girlfriend, Sheiryn Aisiqa, since late 2009, and we’d been dating since we met on my first week in Singapore in 2008.
Sheiryn is a Singaporean model and image consultant of mixed racial ancestry. She’s also Asia’s top female dating coach and has been coaching since 2008, longer than any other infield dating coach in Singapore.
That I have a girlfriend might come as shock to those superficial readers who can’t even take the trouble to do a bit of basic reading before contacting me with a long list of dating questions, even though I’ve mentioned this fact in countless media interviews, on my FAQ, on my bio on this blog, in the Aura Dating website bio, and Sheiryn even mentions this in her own online web presence. Recently, CLEO magazine even did a photoshoot and feature interview on us as a couple in their Valentine’s Day issue! So read up first before contacting me!
Some of these superficial readers (mostly hailing from one of the judgmental, moralistic, backward and conservative Asian sub-cultures–I won’t name names here but you probably know who you are) just assume that I live a lifestyle of one-night stands, threesomes, orgies, boozing, snorting coke off a stripper’s butt, and lord knows what other sinful activity. While at some point in the past 8 years, I’m sure I’ve done some of those things they’re accusing me of, it’s a fact that I am not now–to borrow a term from one misguided reader–living a a “loose” lifestyle.
On one count, though, these critics have something correct–the life of a player, pick up artist, or playboy is often very selfish and self-centered. They’re right to look askance at such lifestyles.
What I now seek most is fulfillment through making the world a better place for other people, enriching the lives of others, and just plain doing good in the world. Read more about Sheiryn Aisiqa and Lifestyle Travel Tips
Happy New Year from Aura Dating Academy and Dr. David Tian!
January 15, 2012 | 5 comments
The year 2011 ended in a whirlwind for me with tons of special seminars, workshops, and extra off-the-hook crazy fun events at the Aura Dating Academy, as well as plenty of travel around California, Las Vegas, Thailand, Florida, and Canada.
Welcome to 2012! The post is a little late for the regular new year but just in time for the Lunar New Year in a couple of weeks, which is a really big deal in Singapore and East Asia. So here’s a quick round-up reflection from me, the Executive Director of Aura Dating Academy, on the past year. This will probably be a more personal post than you’ve seen on here since I moved to Singapore. And if you like this more personal tone and would like to see more such posts, make sure you let me know here in the comments or by email or on PM at the Academy facebook fan page.
Lots of photos to follow.
Last year, 2011, was my first full year as a full-time business owner and entrepreneur. I resigned from my professorship at the National University of Singapore in 2010 and began 2011 with some trepidation because despite the tremendous success rate of my bootcamps and 1:1 coaching programs stretching back to 2007, I wasn’t sure if the Academy model would fly. It looked great on paper, but nobody (to my knowledge) in the whole world had ever attempted something like this–a full year’s training and mentorship for less than the price of a 3-day weekend bootcamp. Also, I had always had a back-up income, usually from a university professorship or research foundation fellowship. After the first couple of months of 2011, we had built a great membership base and accumulated enough capital for me to finally breathe a bit freer.
Little did I know that was just the start of it, as the momentum really picked up as the year went on. Most of our first batches of members came from word of mouth in the underground dating skills community. But as time passed, Read more about Happy New Year from Aura Dating Academy and Dr. David Tian!
“Art of Flirting” Event on Thursday, January 19
January 1, 2012 | 2 comments
On Thursday, January 19, Asia’s top dating coach and Master Mentor of Singapore Dating Academy: AURA. Dr. David Tian (aka., The Asian Rake) will be offering you an exclusive seminar on how YOU can learn the skills to be able to walk into any Singapore hotspot and walk out with a gorgeous new girlfriend, guaranteed. Dr. Tian is the world’s top specialist in coaching Singapore men how to meet, attract, and date women in Singapore.
- Do you ever become so self-conscious and anxious around beautiful women that your palms get sweaty and your mind goes completely blank?
- Have you seen your ideal woman walk by on Orchard Road, but you had no idea how to even approach her, so you watched her disappear from your life forever?
- Are you ever so nervous at the mere thought of talking to a beautiful girl that you’ve experienced any of these symptoms: your heart is racing, your breathing is constricted, or your feet feel like lead?
If so, then you’ll want to sign up for this FREE seminar right now!
After traveling the world, living on 3 continents in several countries, and successfully managing up to 7 “girlfriends” at a time, I went from being a total geek to dating beautiful women you’ve seen on magazine covers, TV, and billboards.
No matter how tough the dating world is for you right now, you don’t have to rely on getting lucky, being good-looking, or being rich… You can actually learn this secret SYSTEM for attracting women, just like I did.
When I first moved to Singapore in 2008, I was frequently featured in the local media. And that quickly led to a flood of requests for advice and coaching.
And I’m now offering a special seminar that’s complimentary for you if you RSVP. Other guys have paid $500 and more for a seminar like this, but if you get on the guest-list, you’ll get this free!
Some of the lessons you’ll learn at this seminar include…
- Why just learning “techniques” and “pick up lines” alone won’t help you… and what to do about it
- Creating attraction takes more than just the right words… it takes a special combination of body language, tonality, humor, attitude, and other communication. I’ll show you the magic formula and break it down into bite-size chunks that are EASY to grasp
- How to stop acting needy in the presence of women - and instead project a LACK OF INSECURITY that women are magnetically attracted to
- How to start up a conversation with a Singaporean woman in any situation
- A powerful new way to compliment a woman (yes, I said “compliment”) that will make her melt for you… WITHOUT looking like you’re “sucking up” or just trying to seek her approval
- How to let a woman know you are a sexual “bad boy” that gets a lot of women in a way that makes her want to be one of them instead of thinking you’re just a “player” or a “jerk”
- Exercises to help you quickly develop a sexy sense of humor… even if you’ve never been very funny in the past
… and much more.
Seats are limited, so get in while you can.
Date: Thursday, January 19
Time: 6:45-10:30 PM
Location: Within easy walking distance of a central, downtown MRT station. The exact location will only be sent to those who RSVP using the form below.

Seating is limited. Once we reach capacity, we’ll have to start placing people on a waiting list. So act now, and fill out the form.
Here’s one of the many thank-you messages I’ve received after a seminar:
“Hey there, i just wanted to let Mr David know that i tried the opener he gave during the free seminar and it worked. I was really wow! I got the girl number and have been going out with her for awhile now… I said the opener just like how Mr David taught and the outcome was exactly what Mr David told us would happen. She giggled. This is the first time I’ve ever approached a girl and ask for her number. Mr David, you are the sh*t. Thank you.” –Izhar from Singapore
What are you waiting for? Sign up now!
I’m looking forward to welcoming you!
You can read more about me on my bio at the Dr. Asian Rake blog and on my bio at the Aura Dating Academy website. You can also learn more about the Aura Dating Academy of which I am currently serving as Master Mentor.
Do yourself a favour.
Get it done. Get it handled.

Jakarta Dating: 5 Women with 1 Man and Client’s 1-Minute Pull–Approach Coach Lt. Walker’s Report on Recent Aura Dating Academy Overseas Trip (Alumni LR)
December 26, 2011 | 6 comments
This crazy report comes from Lt. Walker, a young Singaporean of Indian descent and Asia’s top approach coach. To learn more about him, you can catch Lt. Walker’s interview on Inside the Players’ Lounge here.
He has been leading Aura Dating Academy Overseas Trips and this is his report from the first trip, which was to Jakarta in early December. You’re in for a real treat!
Usual disclaimer: Reports can be good learning tools because we can learn a lot from the past. These reports can help beginners get inside the mindsets and attitudes of successful daters. You also get a look at some of the techniques and strategies that have worked for others. In short, LRs are good ‘case studies’ in the dating arts. I’ve replaced all real names. Some place names and other identifying details have also been altered. None of the names or photos are of the real people involved. I know that some “pick up” companies use real photos, often without the girls’ permission (some of my female friends have been exploited this way). I maintain complete confidentiality for all involved, unless they request to be identified. Respect their privacy.
Without further ado… Lt. Walker!

Jakarta. I’ve travelled nearly all of asia now and Jakarta is no doubt the craziest I’ve been to in terms of the party scene. Where else do you find 24 hour clubs?
However, the primary reason for going to Jakarta this time was for non-dating-related work, but I decided to squeeze in an Aura Academy Overseas Trip with Echow, Takeshi and Mojo, with PlayerP joining us on a later late.
The last time I was at Jakarta we ripped it apart, and I was more than eager to show the guys a great weekend. Read more about Jakarta Dating: 5 Women with 1 Man and Client’s 1-Minute Pull–Approach Coach Lt. Walker’s Report on Recent Aura Dating Academy Overseas Trip (Alumni LR)
Food for Thought Approaching the New Year
December 25, 2011 | No comments... yet
Merry Christmas to you in whatever part of the world you’re currently celebrating in!
A couple weeks ago, I flew from Singapore to meet family in Orlando, Florida, USA to spend a week at Disney World. I hadn’t been there since I was 14, and maaan, has it grown. Before I arrived, I wondered how I was going to spend a whole week at an amusement park. That was before I realized it featured 8 theme parks, each bigger than the Disneyland in LA, and a total land area almost the size of all of Singapore! Highly recommended.
And then, I flew with the family back to Toronto, Canada, where I am celebrating Christmas as it should be with family and attending church :-) I still find it hard to believe that many Singaporeans only think of Christmas as a major party holiday. My experience of Christmas growing up was always of church services and family dinners.
As you think about your new new year’s resolutions and goals, here’s some food for thought:
If you’re interested in the most efficient, most effective way to meet your dating goals in 2012–whether getting a new girlfriend, finding a wife, or meeting, attracting, and dating dozens of new women until you find the right one–then check out your training options at Aura Dating Academy.
Happy holidays!

Love Systems PUA Bootcamps in Singapore and Hong Kong in January
December 19, 2011 | 5 comments
My friends, Starlight and Future, will be conducting bootcamps for Love Systems in Singapore and Hong Kong on January 13-15 and January 20-22. Despite the sleazy PUA (pick up artist) marketing on their company’s website, these two men are actually solid, upstanding guys.
You may remember Starlight (Jesse) from the interview series I did with him earlier, which you can find here. After conducting his bootcamp last summer, on a whim, he tagged along on a trip with me, Sheiryn Aisiqa, and several of our Singapore friends in Bali, where we rented a huge villa complex with two private swimming pools overlooking rice paddies. We had a blast! And we spent quite a bit of time discussing how to set up a micro-financing firm to support promising entrepreneurs in rural China
The lead instructor, Future (Thompson), is a true veteran in the industry and a funny guy to boot. They’ve both conducted multiple bootcamps in Asia and are good, hardworking coaches.
The rate is $2997 USD (~$3997 SGD). You only have to place a $997 USD deposit to hold your spot. You can read more details about their Love Systems bootcamp by clicking here.
If you’re at all interested in taking one of their bootcamps, let me know, and I’ll hook you up with them so you get treated right And after you place your deposit, I’ll send you a complimentary copy of their new ebook, Future and Starlight’s Excellent Asian Adventures.
Just email me if you’re interested at: david “at” asianrake.com and I’ll hook you up right away.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Cheers, David
Singapore’s Best Dating Blogs by Aura Academy Members
November 30, 2011 | 1 comment
Some Aura Academy members have started their own blogs! And I highly recommend you check them out, not only as a way of seeing how some of our current members are progressing and what they’re thinking and doing but also to get amazingly insightful perspectives by local Singaporeans on meeting, attracting, and succeeding with women in Singapore.
All of the blogs feature reflections on dating strategies and techniques, the journey of improving with women, female psychology, and practical field reports. All three are very good with girls, of course, but let me tell you a bit more about each.
The Sperms and Omelette blog is by zuLsouL, currently the Academy membership’s top daytime dating specialist and an incredibly lucid writer. Reading his views on some of the latest dating arts teachings have helped refine my own lessons. zuLsouL has made huge improvements. I still remember the first day he entered one of my classes–looking, moving, and speaking very awkwardly. Now he’s a very smooth operator with a classy image from head to toe.
The Socially Attractive Asian blog is by Ry Aurjandro, the first Aura member to graduate to Ambassador level, the third of four levels in the Academy. Ry has been a tremendous source of strength, motivation, and inspiration for myself and many of the other Aura members. Both he and zuLsouL are still in their very early twenties. And they were both virgins when they joined the Academy several months ago, which you’d find very hard to believe if you met them now. Having successfully battled cancer as a teenager, Ry has the inner resolve and willpower to accomplish many great things. He conquered his crippling approach anxiety after a couple Rockstar Nights and is now the Aura member that other Aura members look to the most in helping them meet and attract women. He’s also amassed an impressive track record of results with women.
Echelon’s Discovering Women blog features the reflections of a sharp, critical mind. He analyzes dating techniques and teachings in a methodical manner. And he supplements his reflections with a good deal of additional research from academic fields that many readers will find helpful. He’s also written some helpful posts on what to expect in the higher levels of the Academy. He too was one of the fastest to progress through the Academy levels.
I’ve listed Aura members’ blogs in the sidebar, so go ahead and click on those links on a regular basis to check out what they are up to and leave comments. I’ll be adding more links as more Aura members begin blogging as well.
Cheers, David
Beautiful Bikini Babe in Pool in Malaysia: Client Report (LR)
November 19, 2011 | 2 comments
This report is by a graduate of an Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop. He goes by the handle, Pyroman. He’s an Asian-American studying and working in Asia.
He benefited tremendously from the extensive follow-up coaching that comes complimentary with all Weekend Workshops and has developed impressive skills with women. Check out his report here for a taste of it.
If you want to accelerate your dating and love life by learning more in just one weekend than most men learn in their entire lifetimes, then you should definitely take one of our Weekend Workshops.
And you’re really in luck this month because for the first and only time ever, you can have the opportunity to train directly and personally with both myself (David Tian) and Christian Hudson–the head of The Social Man and one of the most experienced and effective dating coaches in the world–right here in Singapore. This special 3-day weekend bootcamp will be held on November 25-27. There are only a couple spots left, so if you’re interested, you can read more about the jointly led bootcamp here, and apply using the form on that webpage.
I’ve become completely booked with other coaching programs and sessions and won’t have time to offer another Weekend Workshop until March 2012. So snap up one of the remaining spots for the last bootcamp of the year.
In this report, you’ll read about this lady’s platonic relationship with her orbiter–a guy friend who keeps going around and around “the planet” but never “lands.” He buys her gifts and “takes care” of her. He even takes her on all-expenses paid vacations hoping to get some action, but instead ends up having to sleep in the bathtub every night. I pity that fool. Don’t be that guy. Learn how attraction works and how you can make beautiful women attracted to you and not just treat you as a platonic, non-sexual friend.
Usual disclaimer: Reports can be good learning tools because we can learn a lot from the past. These reports can help beginners get inside the mindsets and attitudes of successful daters. You also get a look at some of the techniques and strategies that have worked for others. In short, LRs are good ‘case studies’ in the dating arts.
I’ve replaced all real names. Some place names and other identifying details have also been altered.
None of the names or photos are of the real people involved. I know that some “pick up” companies use real photos, often without the girls’ permission (some of my female friends have been exploited this way). I maintain complete confidentiality for all involved, unless they request to be identified. Respect their privacy.
***
Keys to the Bedroom:
* Understanding attraction and social dynamics–identifying her signs of attraction and correctly reading her relationship with the orbiter
* Spotting escalation windows and taking them
* Being easygoing whenever obstacles appeared and not being fazed by them
Total contact time: ~2 hours, 45 minutes
