During my trip a few days ago, I decided to throw caution to the winds and try some
experiments with Chikara and The Edge. I cannot remember all the details because so many things were happening
around me (nothing to do with me, mostly -- just a very active Labor Day Weekend festivity).
In general, I found
that when I was mixed in with a younger crowd, I had better results when I wore The Edge with Amouage Dia than when
I just wore Chikara. By "better results", I mean, more interest from younger women, more flirting.
When the
crowd is mostly young, a mature man can stand out but he needs a bit of authority. You can be Michael Douglas or
his valet, if you get my point. Well, I am no Michael Douglas, but I try to avoid looking like (and acting like)
anyone's valet.
I went out of my way with one girl to be a bit of a jerk. I found that she would talk to me
and let me touch her, but she didn't really seem interested. I think she felt a little confused. Her body
language didn't indicate much of an opinion one way or another.
With another girl, very young (maybe only 18),
I just played it shy. Every time I saw her looking at me, I smiled and she smiled back. Eventually, she started
smiling at me first. We never talked, so far as I can remember.
When I wore Chikara, I could generally move
through a crowd without having to fight for space but I didn't feel like I was getting any special attention. On
the other hand, I got great service at restaurants.
One girl, about 18 or 19, sort of followed me around for a
day or two. She finally admitted she thought I looked familiar and started a conversation with me. When another guy
about my age rudely butted in to take over the conversation (he wanted to talk to me about business), she waited
patiently until I could politely blow him off with a promise of a future conversation.
She returned to talk to
me and we've exchanged emails since then. I don't expect anything to come of it. She did loiter in the area
until I left, so she could teasingly accuse me of stalking her as she finally left with her friend.
On the
occasions I am sure I was around her, I was wearing The Edge. I was by no means the alpha male in that venue,
although I was better dressed than all the other men and also probably smelled the best (to some women -- I have
learned that not all women like the Amouage Dia).
There were a couple of days where I touched up with Chikara
after wearing The Edge for 8-10 hours. I went with 4-6 sprays of The Edge and then 4-6 sprays of Chikara.
On
those days, I found that the touch up seemed to excite women who were around me. It's hard to explain. One night,
I attended a party and a 21-year-old girl gave me a DIHL. I figured she had had a fair amount to drink, but she
told me she had only had one drink so far. We got into a pretty good conversation but then her platonic male friend
came over and joined us and I had to include him in the conversation.
The girl was very open. I had also
flirted with another girl just a few minutes before going to the party. I was standing with some friends at a cafe.
We decided to get a late snack before going to the party. A couple of girls came by and one of them said something
to the other, using the other girl's name. So, I greeted the other girl by name and started talking with her. She
was very open, too, but I lost track of her when my friends interrupted us.
So, I think that, in a large crowd
where you don't know many people, if you're a mature guy (35+) and the crowd is mostly younger than you, starting
out with The Edge helps you draw out the younger girls' interest -- you probably feel more like one of the boys but
don't look or act like one. Chikara can then help them relax when things calm down.
Throughout the weekend,
there were many occasions where I was surrounded by young women and I could tell by their body language that they
were excited. On one occasion, two young girls gradually moved closer to me in a large crowd and started rubbing up
against me. One did it as she stood next to someone I think was her mother. This was a very subtle exercise, as we
were listening to live music and the girls were sort of swaying to the tune.
There were several occasions where
girls would turn around and stare at me repeatedly. I deliberately overdressed for this event, although I did not
wear a tie. Most guys, including many men my age and older, were wearing jeans, shorts, etc. I wore nice shirts
and slacks and my best shoes.
