Myself: Athletic, mid-40s, Married with children A314 is one of my favorite products. But like I have said before, it can be a two-edged sword. Respect but distance if it is not tempered. Today I decided to go a little heavy with the A314 - why I am not sure probably only because I have not used it for a week or so - but also decided to forgo tempering it with IH as I usually do or even [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/). Then I had to attend a social function early in the morning. What happened? Pretty much what I have experienced before with a high dose of A314 and no buffer and what you would probably expect. Respect but distance. Others very courteously acknowledged my presence but made no move to talk to me UNLESS I tried to talk to them. Then people would talk to me as long as I stayed verbally engaged with them or seemed friendly. But when I would go quiet they would move away. This was the pattern for over an hour. The only exception was one female friend who moved closer when her husband left early. I did get GREAT service at a store an hour or so later. I called this a precautionary tale as I wanted again to highlight the dual nature of this great product. I have read several posts from new users in the past couple weekes who say I do not get any results when I wear A314. Everyone seems to stay away. Precisely. Yes you get respect, but often at the price of distance. You can get good service wearing it. And it may attract some women, but usually the very confident ones who like to be around strong men. Part of it depends on your personal chemistry and your persona, but what happened to me today happens to a lot of users. You just need to recognize the signs for what they are. ---

BH is right. A314 is the first product I bought many months ago and those effects that he describes are the effects that I first got and still get. In fact I never wear A314 without something else, usually Instant Shine or [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) to decrease that distance he talks about. Another thing I wanted to add. With A314 particularly, it takes time to master what is going on with it. As has been said time and time again, the effects may be instantaneous but one’s recognition of those effects on others may take some time. Not necessarily hours, not necessarily days, possibly weeks and possibly months. I studied body language, social dynamics, PUA material and more to sharpen up my observational skills and even though I thought i was pretty up on those things, I learnt more and so got more out of my pheros. Take your time, view the use of pheros as a personal voyage of discovery and you will find that with A314 as your base you can almost bend situations to your will. It’s amazing stuff! P.S. My name is nibbla and I’m addicted to A314. 🙂 ---

Hello, Can’t agree more with you fellas. As I said in my A314 review, I’ve had to make a serious learning effort with this stuff. My best advice for A314 starters would be… Start on the low side! It’s the same good ol’ advice you can give anyone when starting with anything! With A314, however, it’s a must! It’s extremely important! 🆒 My first applications (3-4 drops) produced so strong results I couldn’t notice what was going on at all. That’s what happened. And now, I can understand why. In short: start with just **one drop** , you’ll quickly be able to ramp up to two. Don’t forget to observe. Be attentive at all times. A314 requires all your awareness & perception when socializing.

My results with A314 are somewhat “milder.” Without A314 I normally am treated with respect, and A314 merely reinforces it, taking it up a notch. And this is with 4 or 5 drops. 1 or 2 don’t do much. I rarely suffer “distance” problems or intimidation. I suppose this may be related to my mellow character and/or personable style, maybe even race and age, but I seem to get more of “fatherly alpha vibe.” So respect but with an open ‘n friendly air. In fact, I have to add a heapin’ helpin’ of androstenone (NPA) to barely approach the vibe BossHank seems to put out. ---

Had to read this one. My H put a butt-load of it on this morning. He wafted an ammonia-type smell as he walked by. I know he put some cologne on after, but I could still smell the ammonia (I do have an extremely sensitive nose). Anyhoooo. This morning, I really felt like giving him an EXTRA wide berth. Not like he needs it, he is slim. I really felt like I should stay about 2 feet away. It was so weird. Like an unspoken “I respect your personal space”. Now I really understand the need to temper this product with another. If you wear it alone - even with a cover scent, it needs something else to balance it. Like a recipe with too much of one ingredient. Last friday, he wore A314 with some ammo. I did not know what he was wearing - so it was a blind test. It was weird. I felt interested in him. I kept calling to see where he was - we were in a super crowded place. I actually hugged him in public - which he HATES (he hates any type of affection public or private, he is very standoffish). ---

A314 is a great product. It is a powerful product. But it is not necessarily a product for beginners if they lack a certain level of social awareness. Gegogi and maybe a couple others get a fatherly alpha vibe with this alone. I need to buffer it to get that. ---

This is one of the things i like about A314 respect and **distance** … i am not approached by some random guys asking me this and that. I like to talk with people with a higher social level. (not financial.. just intelligent,sharp people that really know what they are doing with their lifes) ---

> [@idle](#): > > … > I like to talk with people with a higher social level. > (not financial.. just intelligent,sharp people that really know what > they are doing with their lifes) Mmm, that’s another great observation, I also concur with it. Why? Well, people (friends) sometimes tells me I speak too much, and many times they can’t understand 100% what I say because I use high level technical language. :o However, when on A314 I tend to better measure my words, not that I don’t tell everything I want to, it’s that I’m not as overwhelming, I try to adjust better to my interlocutor (better focus). More to come. Cheers ---

> [@Barkuti](#): > > …they can’t understand 100% what I say because I use high level technical language. :o Same thing here… i started replacing technical words with long stuped explanations.. and when i had to talk with a person that knows the words i started talking like a noob 🙂 this why i dont talk to people who dont what i am talking about 😃
