I actually just discovered the community last August of 2008 after coming back from a 3 year hiatus at Singapore for my studies. I got introduced to the Manila Lair due to a long lost friend of mine who goes by the name of Barney. I got my first coaching ever from Nash. Which is what was considered natural game, where I have learned all my basic skill sets, and what to do and what not's.
Sooner or later I would be hearing a lot of a guy, everyone always spoke about. Thats when I first heard the name Troy. The name was very unfamiliar to my ears, the only icons I thought there were before I went in deep into this community were the really overexposed gents like, mystery, styles, ross jeffries and whoever....who took pick up a higher level turning into what they claim as an "exact science". Whilst Troy simply just broke it down to a simpler level. It's like morpheus giving neo the pill, that one tiny simple pill that would change how you look at things. Just by simply forgetting everything that you know, and just sticking to the bare essentials. It's like them weird sex toys and strap ons, blindfolds, and thunder beads to make things more exciting and complicated..while troy makes you realize, well all you need is your dick really...haha
What an analogy eh? But yes, I have an estranged way of putting things. Troy like Rizal, Napoleon, & Hitler, is not the tallest of men. But has THAT different ways of doing things and a great vision.
What he teaches, is just basically the most basic of things, simple, efficient and effective, and alot of inner game required. Its like a gun all you need is the damn bullets and the trigger, and just aim properly..
I have been talking to alot of women these days, women who I have opened up my views about the community and how we do things. I still get the same thing when I say what is it that really counts. They say it really is all about the vibe at first,(which is what troy teaches alot) the guy has to be fun, charismatic, (of course they wont mention sexual..you know women...) but yes this is what they notice. I have asked them what if a guy ran certain routines on you like: XX, XXX, XX, and whatever. They said well yeah it could grab our attention but they would just be wondering what the hell are you trying to do anyway?!?! While with Troy its all about making that connection, building that rapport to find justified interest. It's undetectable, spontaneous, and most important of all natural.
All in all Troy and his guys teach you to bring the best out of who you are, and turn that into your main arsenal. After all women like a man for who he is in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end. Not because you wear a furry hat. They might just think its cute. But in all things said and done it's still the man wearing the hat that must be what they are after. More importantly other than just pick up, I have learned with Troy and his guys is how to be that MAN that women want. How to live your life like that of a man thats well rounded and over all loved and respected by all and desired by women for their traits which they are never apologetic about. Trust me, I have been called on for seeming like a perv, all I said was if thats what you think then yes, hold on to that thought for now is all I said. She still came back and accepted me for that. I have been grilled by two girls asking me all those questions that would make a man deny, and try to give that clean image to get in their pants. I just stuck to what i felt was my point of view, what i believed in, and if they called me out on something. What did they say in the end? We love how you are so honest and just stick to what you say not to impress us..now thats impressive.
What did greats like Cary Grant, Steve McQueen, Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson and other Hollywood greats that were loved by many women. They were MEN, men that stuck to their values and what they believed and just did what they loved. Thats one of the main insights I learned from Troy and the group, and a special mention to ANDY and JULIAN.

Another insight Iv'e seen an interview with Sean Connery where he was grilled by this famous lady on her TV show saying, I remember Sean that you said. Sometimes a woman deserves to be slapped? is this true? how could you say such a thing?
Of course Sean takes a big gulp coz hes on the spot. But what did he do? He fought for his statement wisely, toughed it out and said why. In the end he still got his respect. It's just about being THAT GUY.
Troy did talk about these things, in the bootcamps I have attended. Troy teaches you the traits that count that are never really exposed and unmentioned a lot that really matters in attracting the woman/women you want. Controversial theories such as his non verbal skills, that are so undetectable guys cant stop you coz they cant see anything. And I will goddamn testify to that, coz I have seen it and tried myself.
Especially this one thing where Troy and I get along, its dance game. An important element that has been overlooked.
I have seen videos, read books, from all these guys like mystery,styles, and whoever with their tons and tons of verbal techniques kino whatever moves and stuff...
while troy broke it down to the bare essentials...all you need to keep in mind is kino, leading, escalation, isolation, and your vibe, and the justified interest. ITs just up to you on how to work it from there...plus tons of inner game...and character building....Building that part of YOU turning you into that driving force that just turns heads, and makes eyes gleam...building YOU into being THAT GUY.
