Do You Have Everything You Want? Want to Know How to Get It?
September 19, 2011
Great article by my pal, Christian Hudson over at The Social Man.
Some snippets that I liked:
I am consistently amazed at how many people “settle for less”. Even more amazing is when I see attempts to rationalize it.
For some, it means a grudging acceptance of their place in life and incessant bitching about “the man” or “the system” or the “fat cats on Wall Street” or whatever. In my experience, these are the same people who are the most dependent on the system… their belief is that life owes them first instead of the other way around.
For others, it means asceticism, with which I simply cannot find any honor. Self-deprivation for it’s own sake is a nice thing to do for a week as an exercise in self-control and awareness, but as a lifestyle decision, it’s tantamount to saying “I accept the life of a pauper by choice.”
And on the flip side of these two are the “30K Millionaires”. I bought into this one in my mid-twenties - spending money I didn’t have to get the temporary feeling of being worth something, whether it meant bottles at the club or a fake Panerai on my wrist. As I found out firsthand, and as the U.S. will find out sooner or later if things don’t change, life SUCKS when interest payments exceed income.
None of these are quality lifestyle choices. Yet people accept them day after day because they don’t take responsibility for what they really want, and for doing everything possible to make it happen.
My Belief: I owe it to the world to give it my best… to live up to the measure of my creation… and I deserve the lifestyle that comes with that.
It wasn’t long ago that…

Mating Intelligence: Develop it or Be Weeded out in Evolution
September 17, 2011
Just wanted to apprise you of an excellent book that collects some of the latest academic research on the topic of mating and evolution: Mating Intelligence: Sex, Relationships, and the Mind’s Reproductive System, edited by Glenn Geher and Geoffrey Miller. In my personal development, I’ve found the concepts of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence extraordinarily helpful in understanding and improving my quality of life. The concept of Mating Intelligence is equally, if not more beneficial, as it turns out it’s been something I’ve been focused on developing in myself for seven years now. I hope it’s just a matter of time before the school systems finally realize the indispensability of Emotional Intelligence, Social Intelligence, and Mating Intelligence to success, human flourishing, and overall happiness in life.
The book discusses why mating intelligence is a key trait selected for by evolutionary processes. If the mating strategies work, they will be selected through evolution. As the philosophers Hichem Naar and Alberto Masala observe, “Committing yourself to a better understanding of mating psychology, theoretically and practically, therefore gives you an advantage 
over many individuals who lack enough mating intelligence to produce reliable intuitions about the other sex’s expectations and desires” (from their chapter in Dating–Philosophy for Everyone: Flirting with Big Ideas, edited by Kristie Miller and Marlene Clark, in which I also co-authored a chapter).
For the authoritative monograph on this subject, see David Buss’s The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating, as well as the classic The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. Both are rigorous academically but also quite readable.
Best, David

Singapore “Dating Coach” Xavier See and Troy Dizon: When Failure Begets Failure
September 2, 2011
This bit of news is HILARIOUS. But I doubt my readership outside Singapore will care much about this one, so I’ll keep it short.
The sub-title says it all: When failure begets failure.
I was just forwarded these links today, though I’m coming late to this news, it seems. I wasn’t surprised. Those in Singapore who know me might have picked up that my earlier posts on the “local dating coach” scene primarily had this guy, Xavier See, in mind. It kind of explains all the bizarre bullshit coming from Xavier See lately.
It seems he breached his contract and back-stabbed his mentor. I don’t know the details, but you can read more about it on Troy Dizon’s site (his mentor for 4+ years) here:
Xavier See retrenched by Troy Dizon and 247 Attractive Man for conflict of interest.
Troy Dizon’s podcast on retrenching Xavier See.
While I don’t agree with or support Dizon’s teachings or style, I think it’s clear how these boys acted to him is pretty despicable. But that’s what you get when you work with unethical, untrustworthy, and immature people.
Quotes from the podcast by the laughable wannabe pick up artist Troy Dizon: “Who the f*ck is Laveen?… Laveen [Lalwani] and Jiron [Tan] are one (sic) of the worst students I’ve ever had in Troy Dizon Dating history. These are one (sic) of my worst students! These are the guys who did not succeed during their bootcamps and even moving forward… Suddenly, he’s Xavier’s self-appointed right hand man. I mean, seriously, who is Laveen?… That’s really f*cked up.”
Well, anyone who’s any good in the social arts can tell how bad Laveen Lalwani and Jiron Tan are right away from just seeing them in person. I kind of felt sorry for these guys thinking they were beginners stuck forever in beginners’ hell until I heard on this podcast that they’ve been charging other guys money for coaching! Geez, the barrier to entry in this industry is way too low. Pretty funny how Dizon lost it, LOL.
About Glen Liu, “[This guy] is some sort of promoter person… Glen Liu and Xavier were, like, ‘Hey guys, we got you into Butter Factory… You don’t have to pay cover.’ … Oh wow, that’s great. We’ve done this numerous times for Xavier in the past… Glen Liu and they (sic) got a table… They ordered a sh*tload of drinks… I didn’t even sit on that table… And you know I don’t drink, especially when I’m working. And all their friends drank all those drinks… We (i.e., Troy and his friend) didn’t even take a sip of those drinks. The next day, this Glen Liu was charging us $75 each because he let us in to Butter Factory, because he bought a lot of alcohol that he and his friends drank… Absolutely one of their crew guys who should not be trusted is this Glen Liu.”
LOL!
Xavier See approached me after I arrived in Singapore in July 2008, and he was just a kid trying to be a pick up artist in the local Singapore lair. This kind of scheming and manipulation was endemic in that lair (known at the time as the “public Singapore lair”). Eventually, RazorTV’s documentary on pick up artists revealed how amateur all of these guys were, including Xavier and the lair guys.
When failure begets failure…
Ah, laughing at the misfortunes of others, LOL. I should stop now.
For even more amusing quotes, check out that podcast.
Best, David
