New Openings for December Programs!
November 28, 2010
Hey guys and gals,
Thanks so much for your overwhelming encouragement of my first attempts at video blogging! I truly appreciate all the emails and feedback we’ve been getting. And stay tuned cause there’s more to come!
We had a tremendous response for our Free Meet & Greet this coming Tuesday, and already over a week ago, we had to close the guest list; we were already way over the venue’s capacity. We are currently organizing another Meet & Greet, so for all of you who tried to get in on this one but couldn’t, we will give you another opportunity in December. So please do contact us then!
Also, due to greatly increased demand, we’ve had to schedule two new programs just for December!
Riding on the heels of our highly successful Essentials of Dating event last Saturday, we’ve scheduled another one on Sunday, December 19, at 5PM. And to cope with the amazing amount of quality content we pack into this program, we’ve extended the event by one more hour, but we’ve kept the rate the same! Find out more here: Essentials of Dating.
We’ve also opened up another extra special Weekend Workshop for the New Year’s Eve weekend, from Thursday, December 30, 2010-Saturday, January 1, 2011. Along with the Christmas weekend, these are two back-to-back weekends featuring the hottest parties of the year right here in Singapore. So come over to the Lion City to join us in ringing in the new year in style! You are guaranteed to have a weekend that will change your life.

Beautiful Office Girl from Daytime Dating on Singapore’s Orchard Road: Student Report (LR)
November 25, 2010
Alumni from past programs send me updates from time to time, and I love getting them. I consider past clients part of one big extended family. I’m used to getting formal reports from our extensive follow-up program. But the most successful guys, who are also the most dedicated, keep sending me reports well past the 10-week mark. And I’m more than happy to read along and comment when I can.
In fact, just as any good teacher can attest, the teacher ends up learning just as much from the students.
Between 2007-08, I published over a dozen very long LRs myself (the community gives them the unfortunate label of ‘lay report’), partly to track my progress and partly to establish legitimacy and a track record in the international attraction community (something that no other guy in Singapore has done yet, btw).
But I never asked for consent from anyone in posting them, and now that my identity is public, I have to consider the feelings of those involved. Here’s my official statement on why I no longer post personal LRs.
Many of the reports also reflected my former, much less mature perspective on male-female relationships and evinced a lot of the bravado of a newly minted gangster or the excitement of a youngster who has suddenly discovered the keys to the candy store:
‘Yeah’, says a Singapore-accented Sly Stallone voice, ‘Me and my crew just pulled 5 chicks from da club. We are the best playas! Booyah!’ LOL. I don’t think I was ever quite that bad.
Nevertheless, I think such 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 the men who have already made it. 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’m going to start off with reports (LRs) from two different ex-clients.
This first one is from Darren L., who had completed his long-term coaching program in 2008. The report is from a few months ago.
As a university professor in the humanities, I couldn’t help but edit their writing for grammar and clarity. I do hope, however, that their unique voices still come through.
They’ve both gotten permission from the girls involved to share these reports. I’ve edited it so that the terminology is more consistent and have replaced all the real names. Some place names and other identifying details have also been altered.

Dear friend,
- Are you ever self-conscious and anxious around beautiful women to the point where you can’t relax or communicate naturally?
- Have you seen your ideal woman walk by the Starbucks or shopping mall, but you had no idea how to even approach her, so you watched her disappear from your life forever?
- Do you ever get so nervous at the mere thought of talking to a beautiful girl that you’ve experienced any of these symptoms: your heart starts racing, your palms get sweaty, your breathing becomes constricted, your mind goes totally blank, and your feet feel like lead?
- Did you buy a luxury car just to get girls, and then wondered why women will agree to have dinners with you but still give you the dreaded “Let’s Just Be Friends” speech at the end?
- Have you been spending thousands of dollars every night on bottles and club tables hoping to impress the ladies but still find yourself home alone at the end of the night?
Do you want to achieve mastery of your social life? Do you want to acquire the power of charming the woman of your dreams whenever and wherever you might see her?
Social intelligence and charisma are things you can learn and develop. Join us for just one weekend, and we will transform your dating and love life FOREVER.
Do Yourself a Favour.
Get It Done. Get It Handled.
In 2007, I became a lifestyle coach and dating consultant, getting all my clients through word of mouth. After arriving in Singapore in the summer of 2008, I was fortunate enough, via various media coverage, to raise the profile of social coaching and bring it to popular awareness in Asia. As the original dating consultant and coach in Asia, I was dubbed by the local media as Asia’s ‘Hitch’. But not long after, I took a writing sabbatical that is finally about to come to an end.
In the vacuum generated, plenty of wannabes and copycats sprang up in Singapore and the surrounding region, offering very low value and practically ripping off their students.
Unlike the fly-by-night pretenders, I haven’t dwelt all my life in a single country. In just the past five years, I’ve lived as a resident (not a transient tourist) in 5 countries on 3 continents. Born in Taiwan, raised in North America, and now having lived or worked in many parts of Asia for over 15 years, I have excelled at the highest levels of academic study of Asian culture, with awards and fellowships from Harvard, Princeton, Michigan, Toronto, McGill, as well as national fellowship and research foundations. I then proceeded to a tenure-track professorship at a top research university in Asia.
I bring you real world experience and expertise in all these diverse dating contexts fr
om East to West.
Having had the privilege of coaching hundreds of men worldwide to attain their dating goals, I have truly enjoyed the high I get from helping others succeed in the dating lives and relationships.
My students have come from almost every continent, including North America, Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and almost every country in East and Southeast Asia. And consistently, they contact me to tell me that they are much happier, that they are dating women with whom they share a strong connection, and that a whole new world of possibilities has opened up to them.
In fact, several clients have gone on to become engaged or married to women they’ve met thanks to the work they did with me. Some have even become proud fathers.
For this special event, I have agreed to volunteer as a guest instructor for Sheiryn A.’s Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop that will occur over the Christmas weekend–December 24-26, 2010–right here in Singapore.
During my sabbatical, Sheiryn joined my team and me to read and study all the best information available on dating and relationships. And we worked on developing the most efficient and effective way for coaching men to success with women.
One of our goals was to take all the skills and knowledge that takes most men many years to learn, if they ever learn them at all, and condense all that into just one weekend.
And now we’re excited to offer you the result: our rigorously field-tested Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop.
The Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop was developed with the Asian, and specifically Singaporean, context in mind, and the course content is full of localized knowledge imparted directly to you.
We are offering you our highly specialized services as Asia’s top female and male dating coaches—in Asian cultures, for Asian guys, and with Asian women—which you cannot find anywhere else in the world, at a true bargain and with a 100% full money-back guarantee.

How Can Delayed Gratification & Willpower Help in Dating?
November 18, 2010
I’m planning to start a series of video blogs giving quick tips on dating, and considering how most of the attraction material available is for audiences in the West, I’m going to draw from my experiences in Singapore and Asia as examples.
This is my very first attempt, literally. I sat down in front of the flip cam several months ago, when I first had this idea, pressed “record” and just started talking. I figured if that approach worked for Gary Vaynerchuck, it might work for me… the jury’s still out. What do you think?
I’m hoping the production value will increase over time 
In this video, I explain the integral role of Willpower in getting better at anything hard, including getting better with women and social skills in general. I introduce the concept of Delayed Gratification as a good way of thinking about this. The famous Stanford study I cite is this one. My thoughts on this came from trying to figure out why some students got really good really fast, while others, receiving the exact same instruction and starting from basically the same level, took a longer time. There’s a lot more to say, but I thought I should keep it short for now as I figure out this whole video blogging medium.
Enjoy!
And if you haven’t already, do check out the details on the upcoming Essentials of Dating program.
Cheers, David
Think You’re Too Shy to Meet Women? Then You Need SHY GUY GAME and CHILL VIBE
November 11, 2010
Think You’re Too Shy to Meet New Women? Then You Need SHY GUY GAME
If you want to meet and date amazing women in Singapore, you do NOT have to be loud, brash, or the stereotypical “party guy.”
Many men in Singapore have strange notions of how a “cool guy” or a “guy who gets women” behaves and looks.
They think he’s smiling and leaning into the girl, like the classic (awful) pose with her leaning her back against the wall and him with his arm fully extended, pushing against the wall while leaning in facing her.
Or worse (and a rookie-mistake), he thinks the “cool guy” is loud, laughing, and moving his arms and hands around in big and rapid gestures.
Or worse still, that he’s dancing all out and putting on a show, or dancing with all the girls. Like some horrible Asian parody of Vince Vaughan in the Wedding Crashers.
There is a time and place for Loud Guy Game or “flash game” or “frat boy game.” And it is a useful skill to call on when necessary.
But more often than not, the loud, laughing, gesticulating guy is a dancing monkey, a try-hard, a tool. As sad as it is, most wannabe-PUAs in Singapore try to act like this.
To meet, attract, and date beautiful women, you do NOT need to “own the room,” or have everyone listening to you or talking to you, or have ten women around you in the club.
That’s intermediate level. It’s “flash game.” It might be impressive to look at, but it doesn’t say anything about whether you’re actually closing the deal. Read more
Announcing the “Essentials of Dating” Program!
November 7, 2010
Do You Want to Fix
Your Dating Problems
IN A SINGLE DAY?
Better Than a Weekend Bootcamp, Way More
Affordable than Private Coaching,
and Right Here in Singapore!
You might be wondering, “What’s the catch?”
Well, this course isn’t for everybody.
For one, this program is only offered in Singapore and is geared towards Singaporean men who want to attract and date women in Singapore and overseas. So if you’re not in Singapore or not interested in dating attractive women in Singapore, then this isn’t for you.
Second, it’s not for those who are interested in learning how to do the “triple-roundhouse-back-flip” pick-up routine. It’s about the important stuff—mastering the fundamentals—that 20% of the effort that gets you 80% of the results.
If you’re in Singapore and looking to get better with women in Singapore and overseas, and if you understand the value of working SMART and not just working hard, and if you’d like to get feedback and coaching from Asia’s top dating coaches, then read the rest of this page very carefully.
What You Can Learn from Sylvester Stallone
November 4, 2010
After seeing Sylvester Stallone kick ass in the Expendables, and watching the many promo videos for that movie, I’ve a new found respect for the guy. He’s pretty damn smart and articulate and is quite well respected in acting circles, especially for a guy who does action movies. I kind of empathize with him in one respect because growing up, I had a pretty low, nasal-y voice that kinda made me sound like Sly. I had to work hard on vocal projection to be heard clearly in nightclubs or even in noisy shopping malls.
In the Expendables, Stallone’s character leads a truly impressive cast of action stars, including some of my old favorites. It was pretty cool seeing them all in one movie. Even more, it turns out Stallone was not only the leader in the movie, as a producer, he was the leader of the cast and crew in real life. True alpha male in every respect.
When the 6th Rocky movie came out a few years ago, I didn’t bother to see it because I couldn’t imagine watching a 60+ year old guy pretend to fight. But after reading some rave reviews about the movie, I finally got around to watching it, and I’m glad I did.
This is a pretty damn good scene. Even though he’s so old, Rocky has agreed to fight the reigning heavyweight champion. But his whiny son doesn’t like how the public is making fun of Rocky because that makes him look bad. So he comes to complain to his dad and tell him off. Earlier in the movie, Rocky saw his son get verbally abused by his boss. So this is Rocky’s “wake up call” message to his son. “Go out and get what you’re worth, but ya gotta be willing to take the hits.”
Btw, make sure you check out the upcoming Social Arts Mastery program. The bidding period is closing soon, so get in while you can!
