Hi there!
I stumbled across the pheromone community about a week ago from a discussion on another forum, and I’m intrigued! Since then I’ve been reading many of the old threads and learning, and I’ve actually placed my first order already (which is why this is a “late hello”).
I’m a 29 year old male currently living in the northeastern US. My interest in pheromones is primarily as a tool to help increase my confidence and make social situations feel more natural. I find it somewhat difficult getting to know new people – it’s the classic combination of not knowing what to say, and being a little anxious about not knowing anything about the person. So I’m particularly interested in social products like Instant Shine and Instant Openness since they’re designed to facilitate easy, light conversation.
Beyond the pheromones themselves, I’m extremely impressed by the friendly, helpful, and lively community that you’ve put together on the forum. It’s one thing to have a great product, but the effort you’ve spent in creating this resource is what really drew me in. I’ve already learned a great deal from the community, and I’m looking forward to sharing my own results too!
Hi and welcome to the forum Panthos!
You are right, this is a really friendly community with lots of useful and fun info to read in the treads and heap of great people to chat to and get advice from.
I’m sure you’ll love it here!
So which products did you order and why?
One of the best social phero’s (in my opinion) is Instant Shine. It’s a great phero that has awesome self effects boosting your mood and confidence. It also gives you a happy, sociable and fun to be around vibe. IS is great as a solo phero as well as in a combo. You can’t go wrong with it!
And you also mentioned IO…another great one! IO increases the quantity of conversation, whereas IH increases the quality of conversation. With IH you’ll feel closer and more intimate with the person you are talking to and it’s great for relationships.
Hi panthos, and welcome!
Better late than never
It sounds as though you have been doing your research. Given your personality and goals, Instant Shine and Instant Openness would definitely help!!
I have a feeling you will be a valuable addition to our forum!!
Warm regards,
Sillykitty
Thanks for the warm welcome! 
Would you believe that a few seconds after I hit “post”, the FedEx guy rang the doorbell with my first order? Woohoo!
I got to-go bottles of Instant Shine and Instant Openness, since those seemed like natural starting points. I also picked up a bottle of Turn Up The Heat (because heck, I’m curious about it), but I’m putting it aside for now until I get a better understanding of how pheros work in general. Oh, and they threw in a free to-go of Instant Honesty! Thank you!!!
My plan is to follow the conventional wisdom and start slow, then ramp up as needed. I’m about to put on just a spray of Instant Shine and then head out to do some shopping. Wish me luck!
Once again welcome,
And good luck on your trials.
Please let us know they are working for you.
I have found that AMMO really boosts my confidence levels.(especially when comboed with IS) If you find your not getting all the boost you need, you might want to give it a try. Good luck!
Again welcome
Hey There, Welcome to Pherotalk
I am glad you decided to join us. We do put a tremendous effort into this forum and its our love for the people and the products that fuels that effort. A lot of people just assume its a marketing tool and I wont lie it does help but it really is so much more then that.
Ishine IO and IH are fantastic to start with. A lot of people jump right into the more sexual mones and miss out on how powerful these can be layered or on their own. The benefits these have in all aspects of life and socialization are fantastic.
If you need help or have any questions just ask, I am here to help. ]
Your GC is on its way
