Well I\'ve never been a pure ladies man. I remember being fascinated as a child with those love potions in movies and such. I remember sometime in my teens watching an infomercial about pheromones but never even thought of buying some, I actually thought they seemed really sleazy.

In High School a handful of girls showed interest in me, but I always had my eyes set on the most beautiful girls in the class and never even gave the average looking girls a chance. I was very intelligent in high school, and in all the top classes, so I never got to mingle with the attractive girls, only the \"nerdy\" ones (I\'m using all these high school-type terms, I understand that outside of the high school dynamic, none of these words mean anything, but I digress...) Also, I was extremely shy with women, and unfortunately, I still am. I found out years later that a lot of girls had crushes on me, but little good that did. I started dating a girl finally my senior year.

Two years ago, I found out my girlfriend of 3 1/2 years was cheating on me with my best friend (since 4th grade, about 12 years). That sorta set me back a bit, jaded me a little, err a lot. I didn\'t have success after that with women, probably because I was Mr. Happy Sunshine and always introduced myself by talking about my Ex girl and best friend (yeah that gets the ladies). I wanted everyone to feel bad for me. I discovered a local coffee shop and became infatuated with the girl who worked there (\"Annie\" for those of you who know the rest of the story). Problem was, she didn\'t appear interested in me at all. So I wanted an \"edge\". I probably would have tried anything, but all I found was some crappy pheromones from e-bay. I tried them, had no success. Gave up on them.

I had a series of short flings, a couple of weeks or months with women, and one thing I began to notice was how all the women talked about \"my smell\". They all said how smelling me turned them on. It got me thinking about pheromones again.

So I went back and stumbled upon Love Scent. The rest is history :-) The main reason I stick around and keep trying new products is the forum and the support that all the members give each other. Its nice to know that other guys are going through the same things I am. I got really attached to my ex (from the 3 1/2 yr relationship) and so being \'single\' again was a shock to the system.

In general, I think guys who try pheromones are a little shy, and probably lacking self-confidence. If I was banging a new chick every night, I wouldn\'t be wearing pheromones. I\'m no Brad Pitt. I\'m 6\'5\" and around 270, and I\'m not built anymore (long illness, long story).

Also I think the guys would tend to be more well-off, because it becomes very expensive to pay for this stuff (unfortunately I just graduated college and have very little cash, but I still spend $$$ on pheros).

Pheromones fascinate me, in almost a sickening sort of way, in that we have to do so much just to attract the opposite sex. It boggles my mind sometimes how much time and $$$ we waste on women. But that\'s a post for another day.

take care,
