Introduction and a couple of questions

[gecko]

i'm gonna stop posting links b/c

every link i post for someone gets "yeah i saw...." LOL j/k

i actually didn't know that that info was in the

stickied newbie thread (i disappeared from the forums for about 2 years).

about using -mones while working on

social skills/"game", sorry...i didn't mean to say that you should not use -mones while working on your social

skills/"game". i think -mones can help a person improve in those areas, actually. like you pointed out, Ifrit,

getting one's arse out there & realizing that -mones are a tool (not a magic potion) is half the battle.

in my

own situation, i was *SO* bad at it that i felt like i was wasting my money. here's a good example of how bad i can

be w/women:

i was dancing in a club once. i wore a mix i'd made from the chemset (w/some NPA/m in the mix also).

a cute girl was dancing nearby. she moved in front of me, turned around, bent forward & stuck her butt out at me,

looked back at, and smiled. i didn't think anything of it. i just laughed & danced on. she lingered nearby for a

bit, and then went away.

two hours later, while at home playing video games on my computer, i suddenly realized:

"wait...that was an invitation & i blew it!"

my friends (male & female) all had nice laughs over that one.

I hope you're better

at spotting ze signs of bootay offerings now.

So, according to your experience, how much would you say the

usage of -mones helped you out, besides other possible factors (getting your game up, etc)?

I'm quite intrigued

by NLP and other aspects of gaming too. Haven't really gotten into much of the de Angelo stuff, but I've (ofc)

read The Game by Neil Strauss. Lots of interesting stuff in there ...

ifrit,

sorry

for the late reply. I’ve been mad busy w/school crap.

Someone else said it best when he/she said in another

thread that –mones are just part of your ensemble. That’s the way I look at now, too. The –mones, clothes, smile,

wit, etc…all of it put together is what helps.

If I had to narrow it down, I’d say that, at most, the –mones

have helped me get my target’s initial attention. They partly help in keeping that attention, but it’s the

personality, body language, conversation, wit, etc. that reels them in.

I haven’t had much time to play with

–mones much since I started using them again. I tend to not pay attention to my surroundings during class b/c I’m

focused on the lecture. Most other people in class are like that, too. But I’ve gotten better at reading women, I

think. Hopefully, the next time I get a booty in the face I’ll have my head on straight enough to know what's going

on. LOL

I’m still no Cassanova, by any means. I’ve been so focused on law school that I don’t even try to

pick up anyone when do I get a chance to go out (w/the exception of a couple girls from school, but got shot down by

both...LOL). At most, I just flirt for the fun of it. But then again, practice makes perfect, I suppose.



EDIT: i forgot to mention that i go w/the minimus route. at

first, i thought maybe my body naturally produces a lot of -none. then i came back to the forums after being gone

for 2 years & saw the "living up to the alpha aura" discussion. if you subscribe to that theory, it makes sense why

"less is more" works well for me (a guy who's not very alpha to begin w/) b/c i don't have to "compensate" as much

to live up to the "aura" i'm putting out w/the -none i'm wearing.

by the way, have you gotten your package yet,

ifrit? hope you're having fun testing out the -mones, if you have.
