View Full Version : Does Riding a Motorbike increase Pheromone Production?

This might seem far fetched and fantasy, but each time im in my leathers and jump off my
Scooter, its not a Harley fat boy or a Classic chrome Triumph but its good, a very fast cool looking scooter, I have
girls stare at me, sometimes initiate the eye contact, sometimes initiate a chat. Now what I want to know, because
of the amount of endomorphins released after a ride through town, could natural pheromone production also be
increased and released?
Or could this be a social reaction, women finding guys on motor bikes more attractive
because they are perceived to be more risk taking and a little bit more of an outlaw, going against the grain, ( the
fighter pilot effect on them ) perhaps a little more alpha male.
One thing I have gathered though is that
there is a marked difference in their response and attention with me at least when I get off my bike and walk in say
a café or bar with my leathers, Helmut and leather gloves. And the response-reaction is always positive, almost
always immediatly flirty.
Mind you im not a hells-angels type rider, I couldnt be on my scooter anyway, no
beard, clean shaven etc, I dont project danger.
Who owns a bike here and feels the same?

Yes I have a superbike (yamaha R1)
at 21 in the UK and girls are curious about what I am about when I walk into a room with my biking gear.
However, I doubt it is due to pheromones unless you get scared on your bike and increase you testosterone
naturally during and straight after finishing your trip (do you release massive amounts of adrenaline and
testosterone on yer scooter?!!)

Maybe when I was trying to outrun
the police. I actually ditched them several times by going off-road with my old Honda 450. I felt extremely macho
and was probably dripping with 'none. Too bad I was out in the bush by myself hiding for hours...
My impression
is that very young women--jailbait--tend to be turned on by risky behavior. When they get a little older women oft
think you're immature if you engage in high risk sports.
Incidentally, unless a biker groupie, most young women
wouldn't know the diff between a Honda Pacific Coast and a Harley hog with suicide shifter. So cruising on your
scooter may be just as much a turn-on to a young thang as a vintage Triumph or BMW...

Not necessarily the
behavior. All I need do is put on a couple fake tattoos to get more attention from the young
stuff.
When they get a little older women oft think you're immature if you engage in high
risk sports.
I don't think there's an age limit for women who prefer alpha males--the type that
engage in high risk behavior, not just sports. However, as women mature, they appear to learn more about risk/reward
ratios, and sometimes alpha males do not provide sufficient rewards.

biker groupie, most young women wouldn't know the diff between a Honda Pacific Coast and a Harley hog with suicide

I strongly dissagree. Too many occassions where women have commented on my Valkyrie (6
cyclinder Honda with lots of chrome, 100 HP and 100 lbs torque) compared to other bikes: Kawasaki Concours,
Goldwing, BMW, even most stock Harleys (since I have more chrome). Only one sport bike gets as much attention: a
Kawasaki ZZR, which simply put, looks "fast" (and is with approx 140 HP) Last Tuesday, as I was leaving the bar, one
young lady commented that "I like Harley's, but your bike looks great!"
I've ridden and average of 15,000
miles per year since 2000, so may be more experienced that others in this regard. Even moved to the mountains of NW
Georgia for the great roads and riding weather.

Gegogi, you are right, girls
usually cant tell the difference in makes and models when it comes to motorbikes, a friend of mine owns a relatively
cheap Yamaha Virago that looks similar to a Harley, its a cheap cruiser, all the girls that he comes across think
that its a Harley even though its 1/10 of the price of a Harley, as long as its clean and has lots of shiney chrome
I dont think most can tell the difference. So you might be right on that note with regards to my scooter. As for
outrunning the Police, its a great feeling isnt it? Ive done it in a car, I knew my neighbourhood better than they
did and all the little lanes and roads, so when they put thier lights on, I hit pedal to the metal and outran them,
I did have something to hide mind you, otherwise I would have just pulled over, they got stuck in traffic and I
disapeared like a Ghost, makes you feel like the outlaw Billy the Kid. Its a buzz.
cvr, I hardly ride fast
enough to have my testosterone or adrenaline increase to any real high level, my scooter just doesnt allow high
speeds, its happened once but thats when I had an accident and fell off it.
Like they say, if you own a
motorbike, its not a matter of if your gonna fall off it, its a matter of when, it will happen at least once in your
riding life. Law of probability. Just like using pheromones, law of probability means you will have
hits.
jvkohl, 15,000 miles per year?, thats impressive, thats probably more than what a hells angels or
bandidos rider would do and they boast at thier motorbike prowess, they say Ghengis Khan never got off his horse,
seems like you never get off your bike!

15 K ain't hard if it's your
main mode of transport.
Incidentally, although I out ran the fuzz several times, they eventually nailed me by
going to my home... Alas, I was young and dumb as a stick.

I work in a lab that's 4 miles away three days a week, and use the bike almost exclusively for
recreational riding. However, I did ride to a conference last year in Minot ND (approx 4000 miles round trip), and
next week will ride for a second time in three years to a conference in Florida. In 2004 I rode to Bike Week in
Daytona, FL and also to the rally in Sturgis, SD. I tend to stay off the Interstate so the miles add up quick, and
invariably take side trips to visit friends and family.

Maybe women
just like lots of shiny chrome? It is eye catching, looks clean & smells of prosperity. Any ladies like to comment?
:lol:
I know of a guy that chromed his
vespa but had to take it off the road as it was "too shiney"

Something that you forgot is that
women will often asses not only your method of transportation,but they will also make judgements regarding your
clothes,haircut and accesories like watches and rings.A nice bike is a nice bike,regardless of the make and model
and its not hard to recognize a nice bike when you see one even if you have no idea what it is.Cars are much the
same.Look at a few european luxury super cars and suddenly you can tell the difference between a nice car and a
Dodge Aries K.
In my neck of the woods,there are a fair number of women who know the difference between a nice
pickup truck and a crappy pickup truck.And the size of the tires and the lift kit is the standard.Stock
truck=uncool. Heavily modified truck=cool.Heavily modified truck with mud and dents=waaaay cooler still.Not only did
you dump vast amounts of disposable income into it but you know how to use it too.Disposable income = good
provider.Nice bike=disposable income.Ferrari=disposable income.1984 Subaru with a cracked windshield that sounds
like a broken sewing machine=looooooser.Women dont date loosers.

What about getting
yourself a Harley. Tough and mean bikes. That always seem to have a babe riding on the back of them, with some
scruffy looking guy at the front.
My opinion women are attracted to danger as a personality type. Hence people
who ride bikes exude this very thing. Thus some women can be attracted to it.

Women are attracted to high risk
behavior because it indicates healthy genes. Women will not usually have long term relationships with these kind of
guys, but they are attracted to them at a deep level. Genes that create high risk behavior are indicators of
offspring that are likely to be healthy and be able to procreate themselves (evolutionary psychologists call this
the "sexy baby" theory).
Remember, procreation is actually a more important evoltionary imparitive than is
survival. It doesn't matter if a human male makes it to old age, as long as he makes it til he's old enough to
have offspring. And if his behaviors indicate that he has healthy genes, women will be atracted to those
behaviors.

I disagree with you on this, I understand that you are looking at
this from a purely evolutionary angle. However, the last 100-50 years has changed the psycology of man so much that
what you suggest here is not correct. Woman now more than ever, look for stability and security in an unsecure
changing world, and that not only means they seek a Male that will offer them healthy genes for thier offspring, but
a very long prosperus future for thier offspring to survive and continue thier gene pool, living long is a plus as
its on piece to the puzzle that they seek.
Although woman do have some instinctual behaviours that are hard
wired with, social conformity and social change means that thier minds have changed, remember the human mind is
maleable, it can change, and will conform to the culture and enviroment of the time.
Icons like James Dean,
live fast, die young are just a myth.

With ice ages
coming and going, tribes forming into nations and other events, the world has long been "insecure and changing".
This in not some new invention of the last 50-100 years. There are some deep "gut level" responses that, while they
can be "papered over" with "modern" conventions still remain to be acted on at an unconcious level. 50, 100 or even
1,000 years of "civilization" is not going to undo millions of years of evolution, it's going to take a bit longer.
We might like to think we are so "modern and civilized" with our modern tools, but these "modern tools" are simply
better sticks and rocks that our ancestors were using a million years ago. A nuclear bomb is simply a bigger stone
to throw at our enemy.:hammer:

So, a few thousand years of
civialization are going to conteract millions of years of evolution! Not likely.
Women have ALWAYS looked for
stable males to form long term bonds with. They need to have male that will help raise their child. But that
doesn't mean they won't be attracted and have sex with "bad boys" or risk takers to have healthier offspring that
are more likey to reproduce.
It's not a rational decision. These type of men are attractive to women at a
deep subconscious level. There's nothing women can do about it!
Why is there study after study that shows
that women are more attracted to more manly, alpha-male types when they're ovulating and more feminine men during
the rest of the month?
There have been several studies recently that have showed that between 10% and 20% of
all humans are fathered by some one other than the person they think is their father! This is accross all cultures,
religions, social groups, etc.
