I was wondering, because while Justin Wayne's method works, it makes me cringe, though maybe that's because I still have approach anxiety.

Still, has anyone refined his style, making it more elegant, or is his just the last word on seduction, namely open, kino, move,hold hands, romantic connection?

Just trying to see, because it's been a wave of of breakthrough gurus since The Game, namely AFC Adam, Gambler, and Now, Justin Wayne.

One thing I've noticed about Justin Wayne in his videos is he doesn't mind cornering a girl to the wall Mystery said it was best for your social value to have your back to the wall, to make it look like she's gaming you, but it doesn't seem essential, though; I've focused on body language, though and it just seems Wayne goes full frontal from the word go, whereas I'm just standing side to side with a girl, even if I'm toughing her shoulders, a lot; the seem passively compliant, generally, even if their body language is closed, but I'm still having trouble opening it. Asking for a hug is both a compliance test, and kino escalation, but I haven't tried it under such circumstances.

How popular iis it today, compared to other ones?

In my very humble opinion, I think Justin Wayne is a fake and all those girls are actresses.
I personally know two people who've worked with him. One is a hopeless chode. The other did exactly what you described. He picks up girls for real.
