“Fearless” and Nick Sparks: Have You Seen the “Six Things” Yet?
August 23, 2011
Everyone is talking about this. It’s my buddy, Nick Sparks’s baby. He’s been planning, creating, and editing this for years now, and it’s finally out! Have you seen it yet?
Check out The Social Man’s Nick Sparks and Fearless.
Nick, who’s coached hundreds of guys in New York City, has discovered some incredible things about what women look for in men. And he’s a master of the sexy-funny vibe.
He’s come up with just six little things that are make or break. You get them, and things get really easy with women. You don’t, and women know… right away… that you’re not the man for them.
This stuff is absolutely killer, and it’s a total change from most of the “PUA” (pick-up artist) stuff out there. Highly, highly recommended.
If you want to check out some of Nick’s former work, click here to see a few of Nick’s Interview with Cute Girls. Check them out here, here, and here.
If you’re already convinced, as you should be if you’ve been following this blog, then click here to learn more about Nick Sparks’s “Fearless.”

Singapore “Dating Coaches” and Aura Dating Academy: An Experience
August 16, 2011
* The following is a true story, which took place in Singapore *
A couple years ago, Michael Tan, a 27-year old Singaporean engineer realized he needed help with women. He had had girlfriends before—two of them—one during his JC years and another during his uni days. Neither of those girls were what he considered “ideal,” but anyway, they had dumped him. Now single for over two years and working in a small engineering firm, he had no idea how to meet new women outside his increasingly smaller social circle and no clue how to approach the attractive women he did see.

Do You Want to Have BETTER Results with Women in under Six Months Than Even Other “Dating Coaches” in Singapore Get?
August 13, 2011
I’m right in the middle of another amazing Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop. Working closely with clients in a 2:1 or 1:1 situation and giving them tons of personal attention is really one of the most rewarding kinds of teaching I enjoy.
In the past few weeks, I’ve been blessed with an extraordinarily interesting set of clients. One is a medical doctor serving with Doctors Without Borders who has just been far too busy with his work life to learn the dating game. He inspired me to start scheduling my next Dating Skills Training for Charity session, so look out for that in the near future. I feel like I’ve learned as much from him as he did from me.
I’ve also had the privilege of coaching a philosopher from an Ivy League university. Ah, philosophy and the ivory tower. A man after my own heart, ha. It was refreshing revisiting that part of my identity and helping a man who thinks analytically like me. Most rewarding was how he assimilated all the knowledge so quickly and came ready to learn and put his ego on the line and himself well outside his comfort zone.
Working with such inspiring clients motivates me to think more deeply about how to reach the hundreds of thousands of men who could use my help if only they believed that it were even possible to improve one’s dating skills and facility in the social arts.
That’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot: How to help the general public understand that no matter how tough the dating world is, you don’t have to rely on luck, being good-looking, or being rich. There’s actually a system for attracting women that YOU CAN LEARN.
In spreading this message to a wider audience in Asia and Singapore, I’ve encountered a minor obstacle, which has grown increasingly annoying over time. The rest of this post is about this little stumbling block in Singapore.
I’ve recently learned a lot about the local dating coach companies. Not only have I had alumni from every major international dating coach company come to me for coaching after taking up to 7 different bootcamps (yes, one poor chap had already taken 7 bootcamps before finally coming to me and getting things handled), but I’ve had alumni from every single one of the current local dating coach companies come to me for professional training after failing to reach their goals with the cheaper local alternatives. And they’ve been pointing out to me a lot of bad things these local dating coach companies are doing to scam their customers.
Read no further if you’re interested in any of the following (btw, one of the local amateur “dating coach” companies is guilty of ALL of the following):
- Becoming a Singaporean “dating coach” but just relying on techniques and tactics taught by your coaching boss in America that offend or turn off high quality women in Asia and Singapore
- Dancing in a circle with only five dudes, staring at each other the whole night, pumping each other up as if you’re doing something cool but not talking to a single hot girl all night
- Bragging about “owning the club” and your “killer dance floor routines” when any hot girl you talked to was either disgusted by you or laughing AT you, and you didn’t even realize it
- Boasting about your awesome pimp lifestyle when you still have to wait at the bus stop for the night bus so you can take the bus home after clubbing, alone
- Surrounding and manhandling girls by trying to grab them and drag them away whilst they protest and do NOT want anything to do with you, but you mistakenly think you’re the pimp (yes, one of the cheap local companies have been doing just this in clubs in Singapore)
- Paying low rates to get a short-lived high from a crap bootcamp (”You pay peanuts, you get monkeys”) but then have to eventually ante up and go to a high quality professional to get the job done
- Bragging about a “five-girl mega-pull” of easy girls (I know, it’s as juvenile as it sounds) on video, proudly announcing you’re sleeping with other men’s old wives, and posting photos of real (plain-looking) girls online without their permission… Have some class, dude.
If that doesn’t describe you, then you’ll definitely want to read on…
I’ve been working professionally in this field since 2007, longer than any other in-field dating coach in Singapore. And I’ve been Director of Singapore’s biggest and best dating academy for almost nine months now.
I can say with complete confidence that many of my clients who have taken my 1:1 Platinum Programs, 2:1 and 3:1 bootcamps, and a number of our advanced Aura Dating Academy students are already getting BETTER results and have SUPERIOR SKILLS in dating than the local dating coaches in Singapore, many of whom are young and immature. In fact, my greatest competition in Singapore isn’t the local dating coaches. It’s my own alumni who might set up shop and offer a cheaper alternative! I’m just fortunate they all have successful careers in other professions, ha. Check out some of my clients’ reports here.
I am 100% confident in claiming that ALL of my Elite Exclusive clients are getting better results, have superior skills, and lead more successful lifestyles than the local dating coaches in Singapore.
Whenever I talk with other prominent dating consultants around the world, they are always shocked that these amateur, low-level dating coaches in Singapore even have clients. I’ve been telling them that the market here is new and men in Singapore lack knowledge about the industry and don’t know their options or how to tell the good from the bad. Many of them don’t even know about the New York Times-bestselling book by Neil Strauss!
I’ve been bemoaning Singapore’s consumer ignorance of this field for three years now, and it’s about time I helped the local Singapore consumer gain knowledge about the industry and offer him some consumer education. The directors of other big dating skills companies overseas tell me not to even bother thinking about these local pretenders, most of whom are young and immature. And I haven’t been. Until recently, that is, when I saw how much they are misleading naive consumers in Singapore.
Consider instead these options:
*If you want only the best for yourself, and you want the ability to have threesomes, foursomes, and same-day hook-ups with bikini models, beauty pageant winners, and the hottest women in the country, then you’ll want to check out my 1:1 private coaching programs—the Platinum Program and the Elite Exclusive. They run from 6-weeks to 6-months. These are my highest priced programs, and they are the most expensive private coaching programs in Asia. These are more than twice the rate of what other local dating coaches are offering, but with me, you’ll get more than a hundred times the value. After the first thirty hours of 1:1 coaching sessions with me, you’ll already be better equipped and more experienced than any of the local dating coaches in Singapore. All 1:1 private coaching programs come with a complimentary Academy membership for the duration of the program. To find out more about Private Coaching for Dating in Singapore, click here.
*If you want to just get major results right away, then you should take one of our group bootcamps: The Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop. Yes, it’s the teaching format that every other dating skills company is offering, including all the local Singapore companies. But I do it better. A lot better. The ratio of student to instructor for these are often better than 2:1, as I enlist the best Approach Coaches in Singapore to help instruct you in-field. These are currently at a promotional rate, and they come with a 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE. To find out more about this option on a Singapore Dating Bootcamp: Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop, click here. You can also read client reviews at third-party dating skills websites, such as this one.
*Your lowest cost option, but arguably the highest value option, is an annual membership at Aura Dating Academy. Granted, by the time you finish the second of four levels (usually the 6-month mark), already you will be better than the local dating coaches in Singapore, so maybe we are overshooting here, ha. Regardless, it’s your lowest cost option for live, in-person, high quality coaching that will get you the skills and mindsets to be better than any of the other local dating coaches themselves. Have a look at a sample of our core curriculum, and you’ll see what I mean.
All of our dating skills programs come with a money-back guarantee, so you really have absolutely nothing to lose.
I especially recommend the Aura Dating Academy annual membership, as those who complete the second of four levels will already be getting better results and have superior skills than the local dating coaches in Singapore. Check out the Academy’s webpage here and visit the Aura Dating Academy facebook fan page here.
I know a lot of guys are curious about the Academy membership, so I’ll post more about it in the coming days. So check back soon
Respectfully,
David

Dating Skills Podcast Interviews Dr. Asian Rake David
August 9, 2011
I’m really excited to share with you this interview I did with the Managing Director of Dating Skills Review, Angel Donovan. I’ve known Angel from way back in 2005, when he was living in Shanghai and running the China Lair, which under his mature leadership, was a tight ship with plenty of helpful content and a non-competitive, positive, and supportive atmosphere. He was coaching even before 2003, and it’s always a joy to share thoughts with a guy who’s been researching dating and relationships even longer than I have and who has had lots of experience in China.
In this interview, you’ll learn:
- How differences in Asian cultures and communication change dating and attraction.
- Popularized Myth #1 - Chinese and Asian women “They’re easy”.
- Cultural differences that matter - how to sabotage your chances by ignoring ‘face’ and other social concepts.
- What emotional and sexual repression is and how it effects your perception of how much a girl likes you.
- Popularized Myth #2: Asians are all the same. The subtle differences between Chinese, Japanese, Korean and South East Asian women and culture.
- Advantageous social dynamics for Asian men in Asian countries and social groups.
- Examples of typical approaches to dating Western women that can backfire with Asian women and a mini case study of Western advice going wrong.
- How learning the subtleties of Asian culture, social dynamics and women can improve your dating skills with all types of women.
Inside the Players’ Lounge, Episode 1, Part 1: Dr. Asian Rake David Interviews Starlight from Love Systems
August 4, 2011
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 Asian women.
Our first episode consists in an interview with Starlight from Love Systems. You can check out Starlight’s bio on the Love Systems site here and follow Starlight’s personal blog here. He’s become an ardent student of Asian society and culture, and especially of Asian women. And he’s been traveling through Asia quite frequently in recent years.
What I personally appreciate most about Starlight (Jesse) is that while the man’s got “game,” he’s far from a sleazy pick up artist who’s only interested in hooking up with girls (believe it or not, the “pick up community” is dominated by such guys).
Instead, Starlight is a genuine, authentic, and open human being, who’s equally passionate talking about women as he is when discussing how to set up micro-finance institutions in poor countries to help low-income fledgling entrepreneurs there.
This is the first part of a multi-part interview.
Some of the many lessons you’ll learn in this part of the episode include:
-How Starlight went from being a music geek clueless about girls to being a dating coach traveling around the world teaching men how to meet and date attractive women
-How you can use traditional Asian values to help you attract and date Asian women
-How a little known commonality between traditional Western and Chinese cultures can help you connect with successful, professional Chinese women.
-How you can talk about video games all night and still hook up with beautiful women in night clubs.
