You can see his original stuff here: http://www.growyourgame.com/articles...g-laid-in-nyc/

No idea what's in his new stuff, but I like the guy, and the guy doing his marketing is good people too

I love Paul Janka, his game seems to have little structure but he has no fear of approach from videos I've seen. If you play the numbers and work on day game like him you'll get laid alot but I doubt he works very well in club game.

I've read it. It's pretty good, but I doubt he gets hot chicks. He basically tries to go for the number as soon as possible and then ejects. Furthermore this only works in big cities with lots and lots of women. If you want a system that gets you the hotties, look elsewhere.

I'm half way through and it is about numbers games and day game (he's against the club/bar environment because of male competition and women being on the defense)

He believes in keeping the interaction short (under 5 minutes) and getting the phone number is a must. He says on a good day he'll get about 7 numbers of women he finds really attractive and he'll sleep with about 11 percent of those so thats 2 girls every 3 days of hitting the streets.

YOu have keep in mind that he's not a community guy so his philosophy goes against the grain of most of the communities practices.

Yeah Truestory and I were just talkin about this guy.

I like what I've seen so far. I have only seen minimal stuff but it seems legit so far and I think it is more also along the line of naturals.

His game is obviously direct and short.

I'm going to look into his stuff more. I have a feeling strong phone game skills and setting up the timebridge properly are insanely important to his style..

Janka has mad inner game and a style that's optimized for NYC. I've adopted some of his ideas (mid-week day2's, identifying the yes/no/mabye girls, bailing quickly, etc.) but it doesn't all fit for my style of game. If I were in NYC, I'd probably use a lot more of it.

I just finished reading his most recent book last night:

- Absolutely love the inner game position on the pickup
- Very non-complicated way of dealing with women.
- he completely abandons any chasing whatsoever. If a girl doesn't' want to come to his place before the 'date' he doesn't run after her chasing.
- Get in. Get out. 1-2 minute interaction. Very efficient when you open 300 sets a week and get 40 or so numbers
- Magical double and triple booking: efficient way to save time by scheduling two-three dates per day
- I like his idea of mass text. He doesn't call and doesn't spend too much time on individual girl. No wonder his numbers are high

Over all i am not sure how applicable his theory would be in smaller city. My luck i will open and number close two girls on two different days that would happen to be best friends.

I would say it's definitely a great guide. The main point Paul misses is that most guys are not natural like he is. He assumes a certain level of the game, rapport building skills, calibration and ability to hold a decent conversation. Most guys don't know how to do any of those things.

If you had remote success before this will only speed up your progress, if you're just a newb, try reading Routines Manual and Magic Bullets first. Not knowing what to say in that short 1-2 minute interaction will tank your "Paul-janka method"

Plus Paul is a tall, good looking guy and a Harvard graduate - he is not the norm by an means. I saw him on a an episode of Tyra Banks and the women really dug him even before he started talking. His book is good reading, but he definitely is not the normal guy and I would imagine gets a better response rate due to outer game and overall intellect.

Janka reminds me of a friend of mine named from college that actually had a dark look to him similar to Janka. He was educated and had the same kind of attitude. Girls would approach this guy in bars, clubs, movies - you name it and he rarely approached a chick. He did not have to say a word and chicks just dug his look. We were roommates for awhile in NYC and he would bring chicks back constantly while I would be alone as usual. Great guy actually and I still hear from him once in awhile and though he is older now (early 40's) he is still dating 20 year olds on a regular basis.
