I am fairly new
here, but I am curious as to whether anyone has done any research, polls, or anything along those lines regarding
the effects of wearing mones on a person's confidence. I mean we all know that pheromones affect the way other
people perceive use, but what about the way they make us perceive ourselves. I know that while, yes we are somewhat
affected by them that is not what I am getting at. I am actually referring to has anyone looked into the increased
number of "hits" isnt necessairly a direct result of wearing pheromones, but as an indirect effect. This indirect
effect being: by wearing pheromones the person feels more self-confident and by feeling more self-confident and
intentionlly taking a more outgoing approach in social situations with the purpose of getting attention so that the
mones take affect. The perceived hits might actually be a result of that person's new found boldness.
Is it
possible that the best effect of pheromones isn't on others, but rather as a placebo to enhance our own
self-confidence?
Any thoughts on this? :type:

This has been discussed a
lot.
Pheros do affect the wearer, both through pheromonal pathways and a simple, "I'm wearing pheromones, I
am invincible!" type of confidence.
-none can make people aggressive, which can become confidence. -nol makes
people chatty and can elevate the mood, and also give a slightly drunken feeling in my experience.

First Impressions,
I just
tried wearing them to class for the first time, and nothing out of the ordinary except that I did feel more
talkative than normal. Im going to chalk this up to just wanting to ellicit a response from others, so I
intentionally was more friendly than normal. The test continues...

Bump up the application a tiny
amount. ANd keep raising until you get a response or an OD.

I denfinitly have more
confidence wearing mones. I know I have a slight advantage when engauging conversations with a strangers. I have the
Clint Eastwood Effect, but mones help dull that down. Just knowing that really helps me alot. Plus when I am working
with younger girls (19-22) they tend to gravitate towards me. WHOA what self esteem increasent!!!!! I was working
bar once and this drunk girl, with both hands, rubed all the way up my arm. (wearing AE)
Some poeple
experienced depression until they built up a tolerance to mones. (-none) I had WICKED mood swings with it on. Now a
week later my edgyness went away.
Also for the first few nights with APC I had extreme dreams. Violent,
realistic, and emotional dreams. When I woke up I did not know if it was a memory or a dream! But now I can sleep
without washing AE off and be fine.
I used AE with 2 drops for the first few times. I really did not want to OD.
Then I had a gig with a bunch of high school seniors, so I applied one more drop, this time to my hair. And the
results came in. Good results. It is all about finding that perfect dosage for the season.

When you wake up after a
realistic dream and want to know if you are really awake try pushing your hand thru wall. If the wall is solid, you
are awake :frustrate
Another good test is flying...if you can, you are dreaming :angel:

I still have trouble lucid dreaming. Once in a while I realise this is a dream i am in and I can
kind-of control it. I consider my self a treasure hunter.... I am always of thinking about mining for gold, digging
for emeralds, diving for booty, and just find a $20 on the parking lot. So when I was a younger kid I would dream
that I found 3 HUGE chests of GOLD..... I awoke with excitement that I have riches!!!! But then I relised I had
nothing...needless to say I was disapointed . :sad:
But today I am still looking for booty and chests but in a
different way. :D :D :D

I, for one, definitely feel
more outgoing with increased self-confidence and personal belief whilst using 'mones. Whether or not this is
direct/indirect or a combo is not important to me, although it is interesting. If it is mostly a placebo effect I
couldn't give a damn, 'cause when I'm on the 'mones I just feel unstoppable. If they make you feel good, use
'em!

Turkey Day
experimentation....
So I go with my fiancee to her parents house for dinner, and (having just received my mones on
tuesday I am wearing them...still experimenting) and I am wearing approximately 3 sprays of TE (from an atomizer
mixed with 3.5ml TE + 7 drops SPEO musk) and interestingly enough I was definitely the center of attention for
EVERYONE in the house (except from my fiancee....probably had something to do with the head cold she has right now
and her entire lack of any ability to smell) for close to 30 minutes. I mean everyone was clamoring to know a lot of
things. When I would ask someone a question (usually as simple as how have you been etc) I would get much longer
than normal responses (3-5 minutes as opposed to the normal Ive been good, how have you been yadda yadda yadda) from
both men and women (probably around 15-20 people there). I have met about 80% of these people before (and multiple
times), but not sure if the greatly increased interest in me was a result of the mones or what, but it was
definitely a lot different than last thanksgiving.
Question does this sound like a hit (still new to wearing
mones, and having trouble discerning hits from other behavior)? Thoughts?
