the enigmatic pheromone demographic

[Prometheus]

I\'ve been wondering, how many guys wear pheromones? I guess in general, it\'s kind of like viagra- If you use it, people think you need it, and if you need it, well that\'s not something guys like to admit. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif I would like to present a question to the forum to the users of pheromones. And so, internet forums are a wonderful thing!

To my point- There are three groups of guys in the world:

1. Those who do not use phermones and have never heard of them.

2. Those who have heard of pheromones but for whatever reason do not use them.

3. Those who use pheromones.

Here is the big question- How many guys as a percentage in a given population there fit into group #3? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Thus, if one walked into a restaurant, a club, a library, ect.. would it be likley or unlikley that one or several other males male may be wearing pheromones? Do most women encounter men wearing pheromones on a regular basis, or is this a rare occurance? Perhaps most guys wear pheromones, but they never talk about it.

Two months ago, I was in 1).

A month ago I was in 2).

3) Today.

Some stop at #2 \"for whatever reason\". I think a lot of people who fall into #2 do try them, some maybe without immediate \"success\" or whatever you want to call it. I think those people fall into:

4) Tried a few times and \'for whatever reason\', gave up using them.

Prometheus-

Let me start by saying that\'s a great \"handle\"!

1) 95%
2) 3%
3) What\'s 95% - 3%?

95% - 3% = 92%. Your math skills suck. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif I think you mean:

3) 100% - 95% - 3% = 2%

What study do you base those numbers on? Or are you just guessing? Either way, you need to qualify those numbers.

Glad to see you have a sense of humor, Hungry. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif Oh wait! Maybe you don\'t! Allow me to remove my tongue form my cheek for a second. As long as you feel nice an superior, then good for you! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Yeaahh, riiight.

Where\'s that rolling-eye icon when you need it.

Pheromone users .0005% of the total population. Good enough odds in our favour - this stuff is a little secret for a select few who bother with pheromones.

Hungry-

You\'re right, we could use a rolling eyes icon! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Sorry dude, I have an extremely dry, sarcastic and exaggerative sense of humor. That\'s the way me and my buddies talk when we\'re hangin\' out talkin\' smack and havin\' fun. Nothin\' personal.

Watcher-

Love those odds! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Actually, EVERYONE wears mones. The question should be how many supplement their mones. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[tallmacky]

Most of todays natural -mones are vastly more limited than ours. The reason why 4 basic -mones get the concious and even more important subconcious responses are due to the inhumanly high concentration. 50 times 100 times and more depending on how much you apply. Possibly the VNO sees the concentration of only 4 -mones but realizes the concentrations are so incredible that it assumes that it must be a great sexual mate.

[dionex]

I\'d say hardly any at all fall into group 3 (less than 1 out of 100). Thats based on the fact that I\'ve only come accross too sites like this one selling a wide range of pheromone products, and a few others selling a limeted selection or just 1 product.
However, the numbers are bound to be rising as more people like us realise that they work

Yes, I completely agree with that. I had a situation at my university which was completely embarassing this past spring. I was living at stony brook which is about 20 mins away from my house. I lived in a suite with about 6 other guys and we all were friends so we had a pretty open relationship with each other in regards to hanging out in each other\'s rooms and using stuff and whatnot. One night,in a rush to go out, I forgot to put away my bottle of edge, and one of my roommates saw it, and i was confronted the next morning in front of almost all of them. To say the least it was embarassing. They gave it names like \"pimp juice\" and would make fun of me over it. Even use it to blackmail me in certain instances(not in a bad way, just like \"u\'d better or ill tell them about ur PJ\") Especially in a testosterone charged atmosphere such as that one, where there is alot of emphasis on getting girls, It made me look deficient in some way. Needless to say, it has not stopped me from using them, I am simply more careful now. I wanted to explain to them that it does in fact work, and that I knew something more about them than the rest of them, but i knew it was of no use. In any case, I was lucky that there were only 2 weeks or so remaining in the semester when this happened, and It will be a secret once again as I am transferring to a new school for the coming semester.(not because of this, other reasons)
In any case, for some situations, it is good to keep them a secret.

Thanks for the reponses. It is comforting to know that not too many guys use the -mones. That\'s what I though and it seems everyone concurs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tremann- That\'s a great story, LOL! I guess the lesson is that it\'s best to live alone when using phermones. Good luck w/ your secret. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Yeah, things that could have been brought to my attention 3 months ago, but even then, people get suspicious, some of this stuff could look like drugs.

True, some of the brown little bottles this stuff comes in do look suspicious. But there are various ways to disguise it still if you really feel the need to. Peel of the labels, slap on a sticker and write the name of a cologne down on it. If anyone asks, you can just say that it\'s a knock off of some popular cologne that you\'re experimenting with (or an oil based version of some popular fragrance, etc). In general though, I just keep all my mones together with my other colognes. Anyone snooping around will just figure the bottles to be cologne samples or whatnot since a lot of these mones carry a scent.
