18 year old new guy needs help!

[Czilla9000]

Hello,
:wave: :wave:
It seems that everyone here is very knowledgable about pheromones, and has spent a

great deal of time experimenting with them. I found this forum hard to understand, untill I found a thread that

explained what all the crazy abbreviations meant. It is now much easier to understand what people are talking about.



Anyway, I am still not sure what I should use. I am a senior in high school and am 18 years old (I will be

going to college soon). I am a fairly large caucasian guy, and I look mature for my age..my mother thinks I look

like a mobster when I am in a suit! However, I would not characterize myself as an alpha male since I do not play

competitive sports (although the football coach tryed to recruit me) and I am not very physically

coordinated.

It would seem then that I should stay away from -none, but other folks have told me I am not

assertive enough. I am pretty timid, unless a political discussion arises, and have trouble breaking the ice. Any

way, we have a school dance coming up on the 11th, so it would be nice to have something I could use for that and

every day.

Thank you!!!

I would not characterize

myself as an alpha male since I do not play competitive sports (although the football coach tryed to recruit me) and

An alpha male is a natural leader and a go-getter, not a jock. Sure

sports can inspire confidence and foster leadership skills but those traits can emerge in anyone with intelligence

and social skills. So the editor of your school newspaper, marching band president or local gang leader are more

likely to be alpha than a random football player. Most members of sports teams are followers or wantabes. You can't

have all chiefs and no Indians.

Anywho, I'd recommend SOE. It's the easiest 'mone to use and the least

likely to result in negative reactions no matter how much you use. It will help make social interactions easier for

both you and your peers.

So I take it you are against

-none for me.
I was considering WAGG N.

SOE sounds good...should I get the unscented or scented version? I

currently do not ware any fragrances and I use unscented deodorant.

[belgareth]

SoE is probably the best place

for you to start. It is hard to OD on, like Gegogi says, and it works. The scent is mild and somewhat musky. At your

age you probably pour -none out by the quart so adding extra isn't going to do you much good. Also consider

Chikara, I don't like the sweetness of it myself but it is effective and a lot of younger people seem to like the

scent.

[gamecity]

NPA!!! NPA!!! It works well for

me so I will suggest it but you are 18 and it might not work as well for u as it did to me.

[Rbt]

Try the sample packets! But I also

lean toward suggesting something like SOE as a purchase (either in gel or roll-on). You want to counter any

"intimidating" feel. Get "social" first. Worry about the rest later. You got time.

I get the general feel from

what I've read here in the FAQs and forum that SOE may do better in a "dating" sense than WAGG, which seems to do

better in a "business/social" sense.

You can opt for the "unscented" versions of many products and add your own

cover scent/cologne. I personally like scented Chikara, but as you can see it doesn't click with gegogi.

If he's 18, then i have heard

that chikara works well for that age range. im just almost 19 and ordered chikara recently but im just getting to

test it now so ill update on that later

[ManBeast]

SOE and Chikara are probably

the best bets for starting, maybe some Perception if you already have a favorite cologne. I like the scented SOE

and Chikara, but again, if you have a favorite cologne, the unscented products might work best. From my experience,

there is nothing wrong with adding some -none even if your natural output is on the high side (under the right

circumstances).

[Czilla9000]

Doesn't Chikara already have

-none?

How large are the samples in the sample packs?

Anyway, what about PI/w? Would that work?

It has

-nol (which seems to be the pheromone for 18 y/o) plus Copulins, which make you smell like a winner (according to a

thread below).

I currently do not ware any colognes, so would getting something scented be good?

[Mtnjim]

If you're "Big" and young, and

your mom thinks you look lika a Mafioso in a suit, ~None would probably be a bad idea (PI, NPA etc.) because if the

intimidation factor.

Look for something ~Nol (SoE, for example).

[Czilla9000]

Well, before I saw Mtnjim's

post, I ordered Chikara (scented). I also ordered - for the coplins - PPA/w. I realize there will probably be

problems getting these to work with Chikara (any suggestions?).

BTW, what does the FedEx box in the mail say?

Is it discreet? I need to know so I can warn people.

[Watcher]

SOE - chikara - NPA could all work

well. I think the FedEx box will say CC something. Not sure probably best to post thatone on the customer service

forum so bruce can easily pick it out and reply

[Rbt]

Everything I get via US Mail is from

"Mountain West Communications." And unless I have a leaking bottle or something no one is the wiser as to what's in

the package.
