Venus Uprising Bellydance New York City: ANDY TROY ON THE TYRA BANKS SHOW

Andy Troy, personal trainer and author, with whom Tanna Valentine and I have collaborated on 5 fitness DVDs, has recently published a book "Living Young: 32 Habits of Ageless People" (order it at Amazon.com). The book is a fabulous resource on healthful lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and emotional well-being, full of current research and great insights. Andy himself is proof of his method of achieving agelessness, so it's no surprise that he is an attraction for talk shows.

Here is a link to an episode of the Tyra Banks show, "Stuck in a Single Rut" cleverly exploiting Andy's remarkably good looks and young spirit.

Watch it if you have a moment, it's quite enjoyable. If the link is not there, here is an illustrated summary.

Tyra Banks says that currently in the US more women are single than in a relationship because women became too picky.

Jamie, one of the guests of the show, can't find herself a soulmate because she tends to date guys much younger than her. She is 44, but she thinks that men her age don't look good enough and behave too old, so she goes after men in their late 20s and early 30s.

Jamie's best friend says: "I love you, but I don't approve of your dating strategy!"

So, the producers of Tyra's show found a guy for Jamie to date - Andy, and since she wants only men under 35, they told Jamie that Andy is 35...

Jamie and Andy go on a date to Chelsea Piers to try mountain climbing. Jamie is a cocktail waitress in Atlantic City. Andy says he is a bartender (not true!)

"I am not a good lyer," Andy says ruefully to the producers of the show.

Jamie asks Andy how old he is, and he says "35" - he is transparently lying, his hand on his heart.

Jamie shares with the show crew that she thinks Andy is lying about his age: she thinks he is more like 28!!!... She likes him a lot. He is a charismatic date.

So, as Jamie is sitting on stage at the Tyra Banks show, she is watching a movie of herself and Andy on a date, and just as they arrive at the mountain climbing location, Tyra Banks announces Andy's actual age: He is 50!!!!!!!.........

Jamie's jaw drops and stays that way to the end of the show.

Andy is invited to join Jamie onstage. "I never lied about my age," he says, "And the very first time I have to do it, it's on national television..."

Tyra asks Jamie if she thinks there are eligible men her age and older. Still in disbelief, Jamie says hesitantly: "Well, all I can say is: They are out there!"
