A Field Report On Instant Gentleman

[FutureKill]

I am a scientist, not a poet! So, you’ll have to pardon my humdrum title, but I think this will more than make up for it…

The following is a transcript from my Phero-Notes regarding my experiences this evening, I have added clarification [within brackets and in bold font] where appropriate:

This evening I went to improv [a weekly Improv-Comedy show held at a local restaurant and bar] with [P] and met [S] and his friend [N]. Within an hour-and-a-half before hand, I had applied a total of:

• 2 sprays Instant Gentleman
• 4 sprays Instant Shine(2x)
• 2 sprays Instant Openness(2x)
• Cover of K. Cole Black
  First off, I had an easier time icebreaking w/ [N] than I have with any of [S]'s friends [my friend [S] brings new people every week and sometimes I have a hard time connecting with some of them]. I initially read him [N, that is] as “nice” anyway, but my intuition does tell me that he was a hit [that is, his behavior etc.]. Also, [S] seemed more at-ease and happy to see me than usual. Maybe a hit, maybe a rxn [my personal term for “not quite a hit, but still out of the ordinary”], but I doubt simply his being cured of depression [my friend [S] has recently been struggling with a slight bout of depression and just started therapy]–it was definitely pheromone related.

[P] and I left ~an hour after the show started and went to [a coffee shop down the street]. I was loudly pontificating about Freud et al. A young couple near us, I sensed, was reacting to us(me) with amusement. I did not sense overt hostility when I made eye contact with either the man or the woman.

[Rewind to before the show], before [S] and [N] arrived, a performer [with the improv troupe] approached [P] and I to give us [gimmecky bingo cards], as always. He asked if we needed pens and I suavely responded, “I have several pens.” I forget his exact words, but he responded with a cocky-funny show of respect.

I did not mention user-effects in my original notes so I should probably add this. At one point I spilled a whole glass of sprite all over myself, our table and the couch on which we were sitting. Yet I was not even phased with a bit of self-consciousness or anxiety. Not that I would ordinarily “freak out,” but nor would I immediately shrug it off and forget that it even happened, which I did tonight. Second, before P and I left, I was able to read N’s reaction to the show with incredible accuracy (he was not impressed), as confirmed at the end of the night when we all regrouped to “debrief.” As he was sharing his thoughts it was like a checklist, every single complaint he had I had picked up on from purely non-verbal ques. So basically it appears the user effects include a sense of cool and collected self-assuredness and an enhanced ability to read body language etc.

Now, since this was just one trial I will undoubtedly continue to use Instant Gentleman, in different environments and different mixes. First, what do you guys think all-in-all? Second, part of me is inclined to start an “Instant Gentleman Journal” of sorts. Big idea or bad idea? Anyway, thanks for reading and I hoped it was at least entertaining, if not informative.*

I think IG really has its place. It’s more than just a314 w/o -none. (Or less, if you wanna get technical about it.) I had a really good hit from IG + p74.

That a lot of IS btw.

Very thorough and nice reporting. I just picked up a bottle and will have to do some testing soon

I had an experience with Instant Gentleman today, though I plan on posting the field report in another thread later tonight or tomorrow. Long story short, I find the user effects of IG incredibly profound. First is the suave demeanor mentioned above. More importantly, though, is the hyper-awareness of body language. Like Jedi Knight hyper-awareness.

Seriously .
