Singapore Dating Coach David Tian, Ph.D., to be Interviewed by Will X on Singapore’s 938 LIVE Radio Show, The Hot Seat

October 20, 2011

Tune your radios to 938 Live for Will X’s show, The Hot Seat! I’m honored to be interviewed in The Hot Seat by one of Singapore’s best radio hosts, Will X. This will be aired on Tuesday, November 1, 7-8 PM. It will be repeated from 1-2 PM on Saturday and 9-10 PM on Sunday.

“The hottest thing about Mr. X’s new radio show will be the guests themselves. He promises to throw the covers off newsmakers, opinion makers, even homemakers!”

I’m supposed to bring along four of my favorite songs, which they’ll play during the interview.

Whenever I do radio shows, I’m usually a little apprehensive that my Canadian accent will emphasize my “foreignness” to Singaporeans.

But hey, this show should be a lot of fun! So tune in!

Cheers, David

Singapore Dating Academy AURA’s Full-Page Feature Article in Singapore’s Highest Circulation Newspaper, The Straits Times

October 16, 2011

There was also a front-page blurb near the top of the cover saying, “DATING ACADEMIES: If love is a battlefield, here’s how some men train up.”

I’ve enlarged the scans so that the words are readable in this blog.

Overall, a balanced article, I only take issue with two points.

1. It says “Singapore’s newest men’s dating coach.” Hmm, I’ve been coaching longer than any one else in Singapore besides my friend Skilldo. I’ve been coaching since 2007 and coaching in Singapore since August 2008. I think they wrote that because they did an expose back in 2010 on a few of the local dating coaches, and I declined to be interviewed (because of pressure from my former employer–the naitonal university–to lay low), so maybe to The Straits Times, I’m “new,” haha.

2. Our classrooms are state-of-the-art with a stage, podium, projector screens, projectors, and a full sound system built into the walls. Ah, well, words like “large” and “small” are relative.

Overall, a fair article.

You can read the main body of this The Straits Times article, which was picked up by the Jakarta Globe, on Singapore Dating Academies here.

Dating Advice Columnist in Malaysia Aaron Tang!

September 5, 2011

Just a couple months after attending an Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop, Aaron Tang was invited to contribute a regular column on the Malaysia lifestyle site, Emm-A-Man. When he first came to me, he had very little experience, especially in clubs. Man, did he do a huge 180 that weekend. And now he’s teaching others about dating, which is a great way to solidify what he’s learned.

Check out his Ask Aaron! dating column on their site by clicking here.

The next Attraction Accelerated Weekend Workshop is scheduled for October 14-16. There are just two spots left, so if you’re interested, place your deposit now. Learn more about the best weekend dating workshop in Singapore by clicking here.

Congrats on your awesome progress, Aaron!

“What Do Women Want?” Dr. David Tian on 938 LIVE Radio

March 31, 2011

I was a guest for two weeks of Michelle Martin’s hour-long radio show on 93.8 FM LIVE. The topic the first week was “What Do Real Men Want?” and the following week was, “What Do Women Want?”

The next airing will be on Saturday, April 2, 11PM-12AM, in case you’re not out on the town yet. Anyone in the world can listen in through their website.

I’m working on getting the copyright permissions to reproduce the clips. Want to have everything above board :-)

I snapped this photo with my iPhone at the end of the first week.

Currently in Shanghai, so if you’re in the area, give me a shout at: david “at” asianrake.com

Dismayed to find The Great Firewall of China has decided to block gmail (grrr). As usual, youtube and facebook are blocked. Makes me appreciate Singapore all the more. But I’m looking forward to catching up with some mates over here and visiting my favorite restaurants and old haunts :-)

Best,

David
