“Art of Approaching” Event on Thursday, February 16

February 1, 2012

On Thursday, February 16, Asia’s top dating coach and Executive Director 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. He is also the only full-time dating coach in Singapore coaching infield. While the other guys are working their day jobs, he is working on becoming an even better dating coach for you. While the other guys are answering to their bosses at work, he is answering clients’ dating questions all day and night. While the other guys are concerning themselves with upcoming projects at their day jobs, he is concerning himself with getting YOU the results you want in your dating and love life.

  • 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…

  • The One-Minute Contact Close: How to approach beautiful women anywhere and anytime, and get their phone numbers in less than a minute.
  • How to INSTANTLY stand out from every other man that has ever approached her… so a woman knows you are an opportunity she shouldn’t DARE pass up…
  • How to start a conversation with a woman in any situation, even shy Singaporean girls.
  • How to finally get off of your butt and start living life in the best and most fulfilling way possible.
  • and much more.

… and much more.

Seats are limited, so get in while you can.

Date: Thursday, February 16

Time: 7:00-10:30 PM

Asian Dating Coach in Singapore Interviewed by SK-II Men’s Skincare Brand

January 17, 2012

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

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

Happy New Year from Aura Dating Academy and Dr. David Tian!

January 15, 2012

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

Food for Thought Approaching the New Year

December 25, 2011

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

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

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
