So I made the leap and have some A1 on the way. I’m wondering what suggestions people may have to get that dependable, crushable, sexy guy effect really going? I’m trying to lessen the intimidation factor but don’t want to come across as beta.
I’m thinking of mixing it up into a ToGo bottle with a little IH as I don’t have any PA. Is this a good idea?
First combo to try would then be the A1 mix, so that would be A1 and IH, combined with A314.
Would adding any None spice up the effect, while still retaining the calming effect?
I’m thinking
A314 for the dependability and trust/respect.
A1 for the calm/relax effect.
IH for the deep connection and trust.
But I feel there’s a somewhat sexy vibe missing. A touch of TUTH? Ammo doesn’t quite do much for me. I feel I could add the sex appeal aspect myself by the way I come across, but I don’t want to be fighting a friendly, calm mone effect if there is a way I can outrightly make it more sexual. Will the calm effect be enough? A relaxed woman is an easily turned on woman as it is.
Try searching out the A1 Mix Repository and IFM Replacement threads - There are many good combos there.
Although I’d say you are on the right track with that mix - I’ve used similar to great effect. Usually with something like TUTH or NPA for the overt none component - and you can get away with it as A1 is one of the more awesome none moderators, so a heavier than normal touch is useful here and yes, one of the reasons a lot of guys use A1 is because they can pull-off much higher doses of none alongside it.
IH is a good one to mix it with but no, you are not stuck with it. Personally, I mix my A1 singly in a separate togo and and layer it into any mix I decide to use. I also keep an A1/NPA in cologne togo handy for transitioning some mixes. That way I can decide when to use it/if a mix needs it or not. Lately, I’ve been using much less of each - Partly price for IH of course but maybe because I’m getting better with other pheros?
Remember that although we can discuss it, A1 mixes will not count towards RU status here.
You say you don’t have any PA to mix the A1 with, but you can put it in any cologne. Even after shave will do, with the downside being that it’s usually not very long lasting and doesn’t have very much projection.
Cologne is fine to mix it with and it lasts/diffuses ok with A1, however you do need to bear in mind that A1 does have this propensity to suddenly degrade to stink at the drop of a hat even in ideal conditions, although its not so bad when mixed, dabbing or dropping is the worst for that.
Another thing to consider is oil or lotion. An old trick I used courtesy of the lovely ladies here is to mix A-1 in a cologne, spray it on, then rub it in with lotion or ideally baby oil. Doesn’t take much, but it lasts MUCH longer. One time I actually applied about 3-4 sprays of A-1 (25mcgs per spray on) and rubbed it on my arms with oil. 10 hours later around 12:00am my arm was grabbed and sniffed when I heard “you smell good!”.
Yup - I’ve done A1 in an oil before and that was interesting, needed to dose it up to about 40/50mcg per drop, which seemed a lot but yes it lasted ages.
After that, and maybe easier was to apply the A1 over a thin application of lotion, which is maybe the better in my chillier climate. The A1 won’t diffuse so well through oil/lotion here.
That’s the great thing about Florida is that our “Winter” doesn’t really start until mid January however the downside is that spray applications get tricky in the Summer and Spring (which is about 80% of the time usually). I actually haven’t even used a -none based product around here in a while now that I think about it…
The lotion thing gets tricky sometimes as well. Cocoa Butter tends to work pretty good due to how thick it is but sometimes it will have me smelling like a hershey bar for the rest of the day. I’m sure you folks in Scotland have some kind of that good super-high performance lotion to keep your skin from flaking?
I suffered pretty badly from it when I started with A1 - It took some time to get myself used to A1 by exposing myself to very low doses and eventually increasing to working levels, then mixing in oil to slow the diffusion to a manageable level (and avoid other A1 problems).
Its not depression in the conventional/clinical sense. Nor does it have anything to do with women throwing themselves at you. Although wearing low-dose A1 standalone is a very good way learn its effects without interference from other pheros. More its you get hit with a bad-go of the downers whenever you wear the phero. Remove the A1 and it goes quite quickly.
Wow. I’ve tried positive thinking and fulfillment of life with women and life in general as well. My luck with women is not there. But players who like to bang them up and give them a couple babies will have no problems getting women.
