Hey all, nice to join you! The name’s Euan (yeah, I was a bit unimaginative with my username 
), I’m an 18 year old software engineering student from Scotland (hence the title >.>‘). Ayrshire lad, but living in Edinburgh for uni (attending UoE). I’m white caucasian, as are both my parents and likely most-or-all my ancestors (clans on both sides), just shy of 6’, ginger, and probably medium build. Although I always seem to have pretty hefty (as in, muscle) legs - guess it’s all the walking.
I found PheroTalk in a rather odd little chain that leads back to a BT advert, funnily enough. Folks in the UK might remember the recent one where they encouraged folks to vote on “what happens next” online. I ended up watching the “story so far”, saw BestMan.co.uk on it, thought I’d have a look for funsies, there’s a link there to attractant.co.uk, googled for reviews of that, found this thread and here I am!
Personalitywise, I tend to think of myself as a bit on the shy side, and lacking in self-confidence. However, some of my friends will tell me I’ll be the loud guy at the party - usually just when I’m starting to think I’m being fairly relaxed and open - and a random girl at a club once told me that something I’d said was arrogant, although we were both quite drunk, and couldn’t think what the hell it was I’d actually said. I suppose I might just swing from extremes - avoiding the dance floor or talking to folks, then going way overboard once I start - but I don’t think I’m very good at judging myself. Yay, social ineptitude!
Activities and suchlike, I do archery and shotokan karate three times a week each, and drop by the gym on occasions. Living in Edinburgh means a heckuvalot of walking/cycling up and down hills to get around, too. On the less physical side, I’m a massive geek, so play video games probably a bit too much (although increasingly less, surprisingly), and tabletop RPGs increasingly more often (yeah, I play DnD. Well, not actual DnD, but that sorta thing). I also like me films and TV, and I’ll sit down to watch just about anything. My taste in music is pretty damn varied - as a rule of thumb, anything aside from dubstep I’ll like.
I’m here primarily for consumer-aimed mones and advice thereon, although if and when I have something to contribute I’m always more than glad to do as much.
What am I looking for? Well, just about anything. I’ll admit to being a little bit skeptical, but I’m also suitably open-minded that I intend to hold off on actual judgement until I’ve tried mones myself - I’m definitely hoping they’ll work, just some of the claims I’ve read in posts here seem a little on the “aye right” side. I go out clubbing sometimes, usually with a group of friends (guys and girls, sometimes just a handful, other times a whole crowd of us, like that Spartan night…) but sometimes flyin’ solo, so something to give me an edge there would be shiny.
I suppose I’m most interested in something for daily use, to boost confidence etc. From looking over the SmartMones site, I’d guess A314 is probably the best bet, but being a student I don’t exactly have loads of cashy moneys (yeah, you might notice me speaking like a spacer sometimes - blame Firefly >.>) - maybe Instant Openness and Instant Shine would be a good starter? I’ll likely get a couple To Go bottles at first, for the whole self-convincing thing as well as price, and perhaps justify more expensive stuff eventually maybe.
Work might be somewhere worth thinking about too - I’m aiming to nab a part time job for my second year, and I’m currently working a summer job at Brodick Castle tea room (more a cafe, to be honest). From what I’ve read so far, I suppose A314 is again the one that really jumps out at me as the one to buy, but I haven’t had the time to read over the advice forums in any depth yet.
I think that’s covered everything? Not sure. Anything folks want to ask please feel free 
Great to be here and meet you all!
