Pheromones will NOT get you laid!
I have repeatedly come across the sentiment on this board that if you slap on some pheromones, you will have girls
ripping your clothes off like in the Axe commercials. Generally the people who express this belief are new or future
pheromone users who have read a few DIHL reports, and believe occurrences like this are the norm.
Everyone is
very quick to post here when they get obvious hits or DIHLs, which is great because I love reading the success
stories of others. However, ONLY posting results is what I believe is giving some the impression that these things
work like the magic potion from a Midsummer Night's Dream.
Of the threads created on this forum, I would say
about 75% constitute questions people have about various pheromones, which pheromones they should use for a given
situation, terminology, or other questions or observations not including hit reports. I would say maybe 5-10% of
threads are people documenting their hits or DIHLs from their pheromonal adventures, and an even smaller percentage
(1-2%) of threads are used by posters who document their ongoing reactions or lack of reactions from pheromone use.
The only recent example I can think of on this board is gabe1970s "Short Fat Guy Experiment," which I think is a
commendable contribution to the board.
Other users, including Bronzie, Gegogi, and Belgareth, are pretty good at
posting their results or lack of results from their experimentations around the board. It is interesting to me how
the users who report less frequent or weaker results from pheromones tend to post less often. Then again, it might
just be that these users are not as familiar with their results, and put less time into trying to observe
them.
Personally, my reactions to pheromones have been slim to mild. I have a very hard time pinpointing any
discrepencies between how people normally treat and respond to me versus how they treat and respond to me with any
given mix of pheromones.
The one product which has made the most impressionable difference on me has been Liquid
Trust. However, the results from LT are not of the nature of fostering attraction for me in women. Nevertheless, LT
is useful for certain situations, and has a permanent place in my arsenal.
Besides LT, I believe I have gotten
the best responses (sexual responses at least) from The Edge (sandalwood) or NPA. For some reason I feel like the
Edge has been more effective than NPA, but I'm not sure if this is possible (I have adjusted my dosages to account
for the difference in concentration, to the best of my ability.) My problem with determining responses to these 2
-none products though, is that I really can't put my finger on any difference they have made for me. Sometimes
I'll splash on a few dabs of TE midway through my shift, and not observe any difference in how others act towards
me. When I've done the same with LT, I have had some pretty blatant experiences. I must acknowledge that TE and NPA
have been somewhat effective on my own mood, as I sometimes feel more energetic after putting some on, but I don't
know if it is just because I like the way I smell nice after I apply one of my cologne mixes or if it is actually
the -none influencing me.
I don't know what to think about SOE. I sometimes enjoy the feeling I get from it, and
other times feel socially anxious while wearing it. Then again, this is generally how I feel without pheromones, but
it seems like the SOE might increase whatever mood I'm in. In any case, I haven't really observed any positive
difference in how other people react to me while wearing SOE, and for this reason have not used it as a standalone
more than 4 times, and rarely incorporate it into my mixes now.
The jury is still out on Chikara, Perception,
Alter Ego, and SPMO (Super Primal Musk Oil), but I think I like Chikara the best. When I wear it, I feel like I get
treated a lot more respectfully by others, especially men. I also, feel a lot more important and self-confident, but
don't know if it's the C7 or the wonderful smell that puts me at ease. One concept I've been looking into
recently is called Aromachology, which is kind of similar to aromatherapy. I think the smell of Chikara alone would
have an effect on me and other people around me, even without the pheromones, but I think my reaction to it is from
more than just the smell.
I don't have any feelings toward Alter Ego yet, but I've only used 2 gel packs, and
only have used it once as a standalone.
I'm also skeptical about Perception, and haven't even noticed that
it's extended the scent of my cologne like I've read it's supposed to (I've used the gelpacks).
I've been
wearing 1-2 drops of SPMO mixed with everything else, and I think it's alright, but I don't like the scent enough
on its own to use it as a standalone, or to use a larger amount.
One thing I'm planning on doing, for myself and
to add to the information in the community is to start a blog revolving around my daily responses or lack thereof to
my exploits. I think a blogring would be a great resource to the pheromone-using community, and urge others here to
create their own blogs. I'll post with an update once I've gotten a blog started. If anyone has any suggestions or
ideas, or if you have your own blog about your pheromone use, let me know.
You must, absolutely gotta read this book....
The title is Blink,The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell ... some of the
conclusions the author reaches are simply mind blowing... he spoke with behavioral researchers who studied how
quickly one person sizes up another person's "worthiness" (as a potential mate, a competitor, or whatever) ... this
is what's freaky... part of the unconscious mind already makes pretty firm conclusions about other people long
before this reaches conscious awareness .... the process of evaluation actually happens in thousandths of a
second .... so what Gladwell is saying is that your body, facial muscles, posture, voice tone, everything is
sending out signals that everyone else is unconsciously picking up on.... pheromones might actually be
altering your own microbehaviors so your self perception gives off different unconscious cues... One of the
researchers documented in Blink filmed thousands of couples and studied their fleeting microexpressions, and just
from the analysis of tiny facial tics they could accurately predict how long the relationship would last... I was so
floored by this book I had to read it twice... it was like the missing piece of information between the Mystery
Method approach, pheromones, and everything else....
Getting laid gets you laid....
The body radiates information in a multitude of ways... when you're getting a lot of sex, somehow, someway...
everybody seems to sense that you're getting a lot of sex, therefore must be worthy of getting a lot of sex... and
the opposite is true as well... deprived folks give off the "ain't been loved in a durn long time" Lo N-R-G body
waves... have to prime the pump if you want the water to flow....
Pheromones + good contextual choices + congruent
behavior gets you laid
This is the Surfs_Up triangle of copulation....
1. People are context
dependent thinkers. Different contexts elicit different emotional states, and beliefs about what is doable. If I am
in a professional context, other people displaying excess sexual availability is more worrisome than attractive...
my first instinct is to wonder what's wrong with that person's contextual awareness ? Situational awareness
and situational appropriateness is actually more sexy to my thinking than lack of situational awareness... it
has something to do with emotional intelligence and a clear sense of boundaries... it says "well formed DNA
in this package" to my snake brain...
2. Congruity counts for a lot.... you could devote serious time
to the study of congruity and incongruity .... Gladwell talks a lot about aspects of congruity in his book
Blink without actually mentioning the term. I was just looking at some videos of people with highly
incongruent behaviors.... they were sitting down and talking about a subject of interest to them.... the level of
mental incoordination had their bodies going off in all directions... congruity is to the mind what
neuro-muscular coodination is to the body ... Congruity is hot. Women are hard wired to detect high congruity.
Police are trained to detect incongruity. Incongruent behavior makes you feel weird, or uncomfortable, or confused.
Congruent behavior may not always be what you would like to deal with, someone can be a highly congruent asshole....
but you have no confusion about where they're coming from.
3. Pheromones... yeah... they work... no
question.... they work a load better if you're in the right contexts and you're congruent....
