Have any of you tried this?
I mean it's kinda complex task really.. The only way I could imagine doing it at home
is having two identical vials of cologne - one with pheromones and one without.
It may be interesting because there
DEFINITELY is *some* placebo effect at play.
Too bad I don't have any pheromones except PI now and can't try it
myself so I'm just curious about it.

No doubt the placebo effect is
strong. With FDA medical tests of new drugs a placebo group is always used and often the "placebo effect" is
stronger than the actual effect of the drug being tested, even for drugs ultimately considered effective. EG: the
drug group beats the placebo group by 10%, but the placebo group beats the untreated group by 15%. Stuff like
that is typical I believe.

I'm pretty sure there is a
strong placebo effect as well. But either way they work, so it doesn't bug me that I may be paying for placebo
effects.
And sometimes I'm pretty sure the pheromones are effecting me more then the people around me, but
since they make me feel more at ease and more social, and thereby help me connect with women, I'm fine with that
mechanism too.

That's a good point too. I
remember driving down the road with the windows up sure as heck I was catching peoples attention far more than
without the pheromones I had on.
