Hey Bboy-
If you're signed up to the newsletter list and got the video I just sent out, it's basically like that. Primary differences between the mini course and this course is mini course is more focused on theory (can't give too much tech away in a free course!), while the big course focuses on a lot of tech (plus, still, plenty of theory + mindsets).
But the long and short of it is "Researchers A and B discovered X. What's so cool about X is that it enables you to Y. Here are the three best ways to use X to Y: #1 [details]." Same way I tackle research in articles, basically.
(if you're not signed up to the newsletter, I'll change our autoresponder around in a week or two so that new signups get the 7-day mini course their first 7 days being subscribed to the newsletter, so you'll be able to see that soon)
On your second question, surprisingly not much. I expected to find conflicting research but didn't find a whole lot. The only times I found conflicting research, I was able to find other research that conflicted with that research, and often it'd be settled inline with what we teach. In those cases, I tried to highlight conflicting research in the program, then give guidance from that and based on my experience. So for example, when we talk about looks and how mutable or immutable these are: there's some research that finds women find men with masculine jawlines the most attractive. Then there's other research that finds a masculine jawline does not effect a woman's attractiveness ratings. Then there's research that suggests men with feminine jawlines are most attractive. So I talk about what the ultimate scientific consensus ends up being on jawlines, whether this is something you need to worry about, how large the effect is, and what you can do. These conflicts though are like .001% of the course - kind of an interesting diversion. I just didn't find enough of them to highlight anything new.
The more interesting thing research did, for me, was to highlight things I've seen or done myself, or seen other guys do, that I had never acknowledged as techniques or realized were things you could consciously do. Some smaller examples are stroking your chin as a way to signal interest in a girl (I do this all the time, unconsciously, when checking out girls I like and trying to get their attention; never noticed it as a technique) or that men are more likely to use oral sex on girls they think are more promiscuous. I don't want to give away any of the bigger tech, but there's a lot of stuff like that where you go, "Oh, yeah. Wow. Huh! I guess I can use that consciously now too."
As for #3, it's probably 85%-90% familiar content, 10%-15% original content. The way we built it was we went through every article I have ever written and pulled out the most important points, epiphanies, and techniques, then structured them into discrete modules, and broke each module into four lessons. Essentially, it was organizing everything on Girls Chase (everything by me, anyway) and putting it into one compact, guided course. Once the structure was in place, I then went back and populated all the new stuff from research or just new stuff I'd saved up for the course, and we positioned all the questions and sanity checked it to make sure there was a natural flow through everything and we didn't have weird segments out of place in the lessons or anything like that.
So, I've been pretty excited about the program. It's everything I teach, plus everything science has found so far, plus demos, plus our models sharing their own experiences on the receiving end of various of these techniques (and they certainly came out with stuff that surprised me - I've never interviewed girls so thoroughly on their sexual and romantic experiences before, so that kind of made it a fun little thing to sprinkle in throughout the course).
Right now we're in editing hell dealing with all the annoying stuff. We'll probably have our promotional commercial ready in 2 or 3 weeks though (doesn't look like we'll be ready to launch in time for mid-December; more likely to be mid-January). But it's coming...!
