What makes any of you think that a "hit" is a "hit"?

[MojoXN]

I've been wondering why it is that so many posters on this board are utterly

convinced that sidelong glances from women, the so-called "deer in headlights" look, or an offhand question or

comment, or the like are "hits" due to the use of pheromones.

It seems much more likely to me that these

incidents are no more than random occurrences that happen on a regular basis, albeit at varying moments, with no

connection to the usage of pheromones.

So what exactly is it that convinces any and all of you that these

seemingly innocent actions are "hits"?

Now the more blatant comments and actions, remarks about how good you

smell or directed moves to the site of application, then I can understand the attribution, but why are chattiness at

a particular time or mere looks in your direction attributed to pheromones?

This is something that I would like

to know. Thank you in advance to any and all who respond to this question.

In my experience its all about

behaviors that I observe that are different from what I experienced before using -mones. Sometimes subtle,

sometimes obvious. I do notice a difference overall. In close personal relations I notice a huge difference.

[belgareth]

I imagine that more han half

the hits reported are imaginary ones. When I first started using mones I saw hits every time I turned around. It was

really more my want to get hits than anything else. Over time I have learned to watch people very carefully and put

other behavoirs together before I call it a hit.

So, in light of wishful thinking, or whatever you want to call it, how do you personally go about

determining what actions/reactions are associated with pheromones and which are not?

I'm not trying to call you

out or anything, I'd just like to know how you go about recognizing these sorts of things.

well...when ur fren starts to

talk non-stop dats not her normal self...u know its a.nol/b.nol doing its job...not all will react...some just react

better...

Like Bel says, it takes time and

experience to recognize what may indeed be valid "hits."

In my opinion:

when I am first trying out a product

I try to use a group of "known" long-time associates whose general behavior paterns I am familiar with. I then try

to see if I can detect any changes in that behavior during the times thay are exposed to the product I'm checking

out. It is basically "pattern recognition." Looking for something out of place or different. After I get to see a

pattern emerging with a product, I can then make more assumtions about if something is a "hit" when I encounter a

new "subject" while wearing the same or closely related product. The one catch is that pople whome you have known

for a long time and have known you as well may not react quite the same as someone who you are meeting for the first

time. Much is still subjective and open to interpretation (or misinterpretation).

Most "hits" in my mind are

going to be subtle, not blantant and obvious ones. (Darn it). Some exceptions I'm sure, especialy with say high

doses of androstenone.

I have attributed some behaviors as "hits" with "familiar" strangers if they fit a

certain rather obvious set of criteria. I am pretty darned sure I got a DIHL from a restaurant counter girl once

(with AE) who seemed to be essentially staring out into space but in my general direction. I had been to this place

enough times to get a general idea of expected behavior from this person (and others who worked that position) as

she brought orders out to the to go/take away counter, but I didn't really "know" her that well in terms of normal

behavior. It was only after I had left and thought about it a while that I figured what I had seem qualified as a

DIHL (my first). During this same encounter at the counter, I ended up having a rather extended conversation with

the female owner of the place (she usually handled the cash register) and who normally is too busy to sit and talk

very much (that part of her "normal" behavior was something I knew about). I can sort of consider that part of the

AE "hit" as well.

That part about having a woman strip naked and jumping my bones in the store aisle seconds

after walking by me is still a dream...

To be honest, there is no way I

am ever completely certain of a hit. When I first started getting serious about understanding mones and how they

worked for me I kept extensive records of reactions both while wearing mones and while not. At the time I was doing

some things that required me to be around the same groups of people at roughly the same time of the month, every

month for quite a long period of time. There were other situations where I had a captive audience of people who had

never met me before. It gave me a good mental yardstick to work with.

To be honest with you, I got into mones

for two reasons. One was my brand new business and the other was my marriage that later died a horrible death. In a

business respect it worked out great because I am a computer guy who always gets along with computers better than

with most people. Leaving my secure corporate world and going out to face the public was traumatic for me. I had to

do something I'd never done before: Sell! I have clear documentation that the periods when I wore mones I got

significantly different responses than the periods when I didn't. But, perhaps it was a placebo? I don't know for

sure.

On the personal side, it may be a placebo again. I am now 51 years old and mostly bald but keep my body

well toned. Perhaps that's why I get hits from a much younger crowd when I wear mones? I can't prove it either

way. Perhaps it's my attitude when I wear mones that does it? I don't think I act differently when not wearing

mones, when wearing a high -none product or when wearing other products, but perhaps I do.

While a cheerful

person, I am pretty aggressive too. People tend to react differently to me when I wear mones. As a rule, high -none

products tend to encouage either very submissive or aggressive responses, usually way outside the normal range. AQ,

and too a lesser degree Soe and Chikara, tend to encourage people to invade my personal space, or what I consider my

space. Women tend to get more touchy/feely and trusting. There are a lot more sexual inuendoes made, as well. One of

the most notable things is when my male friends ask why I get so much female attention while they get ignored. Even

the few that know I wear mones don't believe they have anything to do with it.

There is no one single thing

that means "HIT" It is a multitude of things all combined. There's body language, eye contact and many other things

that come into it. Mostly it is a contrast in what I would consider "Normal behavoir"

Did all that rambling help

at all?

matters. I've known

for 7 years that mones work and have had a wide variety of hits that I can't really prove are mone related but I

tend to think they are. Now however, I'm turning 56 this month and perhaps I can shed some new light on why they

work. I'm not the same person I was 7 years ago, I've got almost all grey hair now, I don't really care much if

I get hit on or not, I look my age, and I still get hits until they really see me and realize to their chagrin that

I'm about Grandpa's age, yep - plenty of times now a young lady will smell me first and I can see the small smile

starting until they realize how old I am and they turn away quickly, mildly embarrassed. This happens more often

than not anymore. I don't feel bad about it as women more in my age group will let their gaze still linger a bit.



I'm also convinced that some women really do have an acute sense of smell and those are the ones that you

get the hits from. Now, the question is, do they have that heightened sense of smell all the time or is it during a

particular period of their menstrual cycle?

I've said this before but will say it again. if you want a

true test to see results, wear mones on your neck/cheeks while getting a haircut from an attractive hairdresser, one

you have never been to before, and see if she isn't very chatty, says revealing things you would not ordinarily

hear during this activity, and flirts a bit with you.

Did all that rambling help at all?

Did it help?

Yes indeed it did, Belgareth. Thanks! Maybe part of the problem is that I rarely spend time around women other than

my girlfriend. It's just that I haven't noticed any real reactions... I take that back.

I was at a mall a few

days ago, and the girl behind the counter at the store couldn't take her eyes off of me the whole time that I stood

in the checkout line after I had asked her a question a few minutes previously. Maybe that's because I was checking

her out, but it was a bit weird to see her staring at me for a full two or three minutes. I would have followed up

on it and asked her out, but she looked like she was 16-18 or so, too young for me. That, and I was out of town at

the time, so it wouldn't have gone anywhere anyway.

That, and just now, a girl got onto the bus, and rather than

sit next to the woman in the front row, she sat down next to me, though I attribute that more to chance than

anything else, as I was in the back row. Oh, and there were no empty seats available aside from the one next to the

woman, one next to a middle-aged redneck, and the one next to me.

No way she could have picked up on the mones

from the front of the short bus, hence why I tend to think that it's a mere coincidence.

Anyway, I get what you

guys are saying, that extended surveys of people's reactions are necessary to discern hits from random occurrences.

I'm going to keep using mones until my supply runs out at the very least. I wish I weren't so goddamned poor,

otherwise I'd invest in a bottle of SOE or Chikara, or something, and see how those go, but at $50-$60 a bottle,

there's just no way.

Thanks to everyone who replied thus far! I've got to say, it certainly is interesting to

experiment with pheromones!
