“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.”

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.

How to Talk to Girls and Turn Them on: Nick Sparks Demonstrates Talkative, Sexual Vibe
June 21, 2011
A while back, the man running The Social Man, Christian Hudson, had a great idea. From what he told me, he put out a Craigslist ad for girls who were willing to be interviewed for a dating site about their views on dating and men. Here is one of the results.
On the day of this video, Nick Sparks literally met this girl about five minutes before the camera started rolling. Despite the presence of the camera, the cameraman, the bright lights, and lack of incidental touch because of the separated chairs, Nick and Jennifer are kissing by the end of the 17th minute.
Very few guys are better exemplars of the Sexual Talkative Vibe than Nick Sparks. Maybe Russell Brand comes to mind. Check it out for yourself. There are more videos to come. Watch and learn
If you are in North America, then I highly recommend you get coaching from Nick Sparks and Christian Hudson of The Social Man. I personally vouch for them. And for extra special treatment, tell them I sent you.
Best,
David
How to Approach Attractive Women: An Essential Life Skill for Any Man
June 14, 2011
Over the years, one of the best gifts I’ve ever given myself has been the ability to approach and attract beautiful women if and when I see them—on the streets, in shopping malls, in the clubs, or anywhere else.
My friend who goes by the name of Skilldo has been helping Singaporeans get better at dating and approaching since 2005. He’s been in this field longer than anyone else in Singapore, and his mature perspective really shows in his work.
Collaborating with him has been a refreshing contrast to the juvenile bravado of the young boys passing themselves off as “dating coaches” in Singapore these days.
He genuinely cares about helping guys get better with girls, and his passion shows. Even the Singapore government-run SDN (Social Development Network) has worked with him to provide coaching to men about dating.
He’s recently put together a comprehensive DVD course called, “Approach Secrets,” which includes an amazing set of bonuses.
Even if I weren’t one of the guest speakers on this DVD series, I’d still recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to approach beautiful women in Singapore and Asia.
Okay, here’s the link: Go check it out for yourself!
Cheers,
David
Singapore Girls Pick Up & the 13-Minute Seduction: Breakthrough in Chill Vibe (Client Report LR)
May 3, 2011
SINGAPORE GIRLS APPROACHED ME & THE 13-MINUTE SEDUCTION: BREAKTHROUGH IN CHILL VIBE, CLIENT REPORT (LR)
This is another relatively unusual report. I like to share the special ones for a reason. As you read on, you’ll see what makes this one so different.
Just to reiterate the usual disclaimer: 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 successful daters. 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.
We’ve gotten permission to share these reports from the girl involved. 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.
None of the names or photos are of the real people involved. I know that some “pick up” companies make it a policy to use real photos, often without the girls’ permission (some of my female friends have been exploited this way). I maintain complete confidentiality for all involved, unless they request to be identified. I respect their privacy.
This report comes from Peter, an early 30s professional in Singapore. He’s a very busy man, so he narrated this to me, and I recorded it to transcribe later. Enjoy!
My Breakthrough in Chill Vibe, Having Girls Approach ME, and the 13-Minute Seduction
I’m not entirely sure how I finally made the switch to becoming the type of guy who has girls approaching him.
Just half a year ago, I was one of the biggest geeks I knew. I wore pocket protectors so I could carry a small calculator and pens around with me. Things have really changed since then.
Keys to the Bedroom
-Social proof from female friends
-Attraction from multiple women in the venue
-Reading and responding to her arousal cues
-Figuring out Chill Vibe (sexy fashion & image/having fun chilling/strong body language, eye contact, and tonality)
After almost five months of coaching with Dr. Asian Rake David, I went from having had only three sexual partners in my entire life of 30+ years to having tripled that number in a few months. But this encounter was a major breakthrough.

“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
How to Speak Better and Get the Girl
March 28, 2011
My latest article on Amped Asia. You can see it on their site here. I reference some videos and have added a couple of the clips below for your convenience. If the words in the jpgs below are too small, you can right-click the image and enlarge it separately.
How to Improve Your Verbal Skills to Help Your Dating Life
Question from fan Brian: “How do you improve your verbal skills? Some people are just not as gifted with their words as others, especially for us Asian guys who grew up speaking an Asian language at home.”
[Edit: The youtube clip from Eyes Wide Shut just got blocked by Warner. Go figure. That clip was great as there was also some great alpha male body language and movement by Cruise (being more like his natural self) in the 3rd minute of this clip, which gradually disappears as the rest of the long movie progresses and Cruise's character loses self-confidence. Let me know if you find a new clip of the same part of the movie.]
So there you have it. Speak slower. Diversify your vocabulary. And free your mind to be in the moment without self-censoring.
As usual, if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write to me at: david “at” asianrake.com
Cheers,
David
