Day 3:

The joke:
"what do you call a bear with no teeth? Gummy bear."

My appearance:
4. Black jeans; grey shoes; somewhat messy, boring hair; unshaven for 2 days. My t-shirt was light red with a vintage pacman picture. Glasses.

Psychological effects:
On walking into the room with the treated shirt, I felt an immediate sense of what I might call shyness. In the car on the way to target, I felt like a 1980s business guy (powerful, important). When I got to target, I actually felt slightly embarrassed, almost as though I was walking around in a skin tight speedo for all to see. The effect diminished over time.
Confidence:
5. While there was a psychological effect, the blatant sexual nature of it left me feeling a little shy.
Notes:
The weather today was a little chilly with a light misty rain.

Person 1:
6. Elderly woman. Seemed to enjoy my joke without making a big deal about it. Repeated the punchline.

Person 2:
7. Woman probably in her 40s. Laughed genuinely.

Person 3:
7. Woman probably in her 30s. Not very attractive, but not hideous. Laughed genuinely at my joke. Seemed receptive.
Person 4:
7. Woman in her mid-late 20s. Cute face, chubby. Seemed a little shy. I might guess that she was mildly attracted, but I wouldn’t bet money on it. She was the only person I asked for a joke. She didn’t have one. She seemed slightly confused by the experience, but not in a negative way.
Person 5:
6. Woman in her late 30s/early 40s. not terribly attractive, not an ogre. Continued walking as I asked her the joke, but still responded positively. She actually guessed the answer correctly. I said “ah, you got it”. She said “see? I’m smart”.

Thoughts on whether I was wearing the pheromone:
8. The psychological effect is becoming clearer to me. If I could change yesterday’s, I would make it a 3 due to the lack of psychological effect. No obvious hits or women wanting to jump my bones, but everyone today was positive. It would be funny if today ended up being a placebo day.
