Situation
The following day I had a lunch event with some of the same gay guys from the happy hour and several other gay men. This lunch was for a hobbyist group. I decided to tone down the TUTH but up the Ammo. I was probably among the younger in the group (30s–70s, with about half in their 30s and half in their 50s and up).
Pheromones
(it was so long ago and so much has happened since, I forget exact dosages)
Ammo (summer edition): 2–3 sprays: neck, chest, and wrists.
TUTH: 1 spray (I think)
IS: Again, I believe I wore some, probably 2 sprays
Observations
Two small observations that may have been signs: at the lunch, we were all sitting together quite closely since the room was small and there were a lot of us. I was at a table with a good mix of older and younger guys. The guy directly in front of me and to my right were both 50s or 60s. The one on my left I forget because we didn’t really talk.
The guy next to me kept talking, not in an annoying way, but very free flowing (which makes me wonder if I used Openness). I guess he realized it, too, because at one point he said, “I’ve been talking this whole time. Tell me a little bit about you.” I’m perfectly fine being a listener and don’t really like talking about myself, so I gave like a 3 sentence summary, which seemed enough to satisfy him because the conversation continued just fine with him talking the lead again.
At some point, one of the men sitting across from me said “you’re very attractive”. This wasn’t an entirely unexpected/outrageous comment, so I don’t know if it was a hit or not. The rest of the lunch went well, some of us stayed after it was officially over to chat for a little bit longer before we headed our separate ways.
Unlike Friday, leaving from this lunch, I felt invigorated and…euphoric? I had such a happy feeling after being among this group of guys—everyone seemed really friendly as we all talked. I had I also thought my outfit was on point, so I was also really feeling myself
I really wish I remembered my mix because I want to try it again to see if there was simply good energy in the room or it was the mones or both.
Conclusion
This mix…whatever it exactly was, did no wrong by me, and may have given me a hit or two. Will try again if I’m in a similar setting.
