That’s what I have been observing lately.
Today I went to school wearing SD-12, 2 sprays, neck. I didn’t notice anything until class started, and then I got a really exhuberant greeting from one of the younger girls and one of the hotter girls came in and sat next to me. Technically, I forced this, because I sat in her seat. Psychologically, people usually sit in the same place for comfort reasons, and knowing this, I sat in her seat.
During class, nothing unusual… but then people started to leave, and I moved a couple feet closer to Miss Hot Thing, just chatting with a friend on the 'net, and she’s talking away to the instructor and then after a few minutes, turns to me and asks what I think. Then the instructor gave her his advice, and again, she asked what I think. I ended up staying there with her longer than anyone else… and we had a great conversation. She asked me how to get in touch, and I reminded her she had my e-mail, but had never used it. Then I went home.
Then I drove home… 1.5 hour drive… and chatted with some friends online for a little while before I called up A, and told her I’d left my jacket there from the party the other night. She said it was there and sure, I could come over and chill. I went over at 11 (wearing 3 sprays of MX-119) and ended up staying until 3:30 am, and it was very obvious she did not want me to go - and that her boyfriend was becoming displeased. Even though they’re swingers, he was becoming jealous of all the attention being on me. That was the third time she’d seen me, and by the end of the night I had called her out on wanting to kiss me and wanting to jump my bones… both of which she admitted to. Nobody had been drinking from the time I got there except one of the guys, although she told me she’d been drinking earlier, but that was just a lame excuse for why she was being so blatant in her attraction response. That was a weak ASD attempt. She was stone cold sober. But she was being very blatantly attracted to me even in front of her boyfriend. She moved over from sitting with him to sit with me on the couch, and she was sitting closer than a friend would. She was leaning into me, also… asked me to take her somewhere (ostensibly so she could pick up dog food, but really so she could be alone with me)… and when we went to wal mart, we sat on the benches to eat and she was sitting so close to me that her hip and leg was touching mine all the way down. I stuck my hand between us to keep it warm… and it wasn’t easy to fit it. The girl was really responding to my game. (And it was a game, too. I flirt because it’s fun, and I told her that she was a lot of fun to flirt with, and that that was why I was flirting, but that seemed to only make her want me more.)
Now, here’s the interesting thing… I’ve been reading various sources of PUA info, and I find it interesting that I seem to have become rather good at triggering attraction in certain types of women. Not all, to be sure, but I see a lot of what I’m doing listed on these PUA websites, only I am not trying to do any of it. There’s no way I could ever remember all that crap. I just know what to do if I manage to find a woman I can “connect” with the right way. I guess I feel what is right somehow. It has a LOT to do with self confidence… and I have been watching how successful I am, and observing how people respond to various pheromones, and I have concluded that my results are about 80-90% game, and 10-20% pheromones.
I say this because I see what the pheromones are doing, but also, I see that they don’t make the situation, they make the opportunities better. In the end, if you’re not comfortable with yourself, confident, and displaying the values that flip her attraction switches, pheromones aren’t going to make the game for you. Now I really get it. Now I really understand.
