What do you need things like DVD’s and seminars for? You can be effective and only buy the pheremones you need for work interviews. Getting in shape is good.. girls will be alot more appreciative and more likely to show it.
Like I said, I’m not training for girls. I’m doing it for my health and for mental health reasons. I used to be a Martial Arts fanatic, and not training has left a void in my life. It’s a significant, defining part of who I am, so I feel like half of a person without training.
My varied work schedule and weekend travel to see my daughter makes it difficult for me to regularly attend enough classes to satisfy me. I’m also going to be working a second job for a few months, in order to rebuild my savings - so my schedule is as hairy as my arse. I don’t really need DVD’s, but I like them. Instructional DVD’s are nice to have in order to review techniques at home or to get different perspectives, and you can learn a great deal by watching fights repetitively with and without other people critiquing the action. DVD’s for stretching routines or solo drills are also nice to have. I also like inspiring biographical DVD’s like Rickson Gracie’s “Choke” – Amazon.com
Seminars sometime fit into my schedule better and allow me to cross-train in a variety of styles with little to no commitment to any particular school. Mat fees and the cost of individual classes are also expensive, if I’m not a regular attendee at the schools I’ll be training at. I’m going to avoid mentioning the more realistic examples in the area I live in, but I do travel to New York City often and know the market very well…
There is always a seminar at The Fricking FightHouse ( http://www.fighthouse.com )in NYC that I’d like to attend, I’d love to take more Modern Arnis seminars but their 2007 schedule sucks …( http://www.modernarnis.com/seminarschedule.html ), training at New York San Da is $30/hour (http://www.nysanda.com/ - fee’s are not advertised), while the OM Yoga center ($28/2 classes) has a variety of classes I can take on the same weekdays I travel to, say, the Renzo Gracie Academy in Manhattan ($30+/hr) , Soca BJJ ($25-50/hr) or Extreme Muay Thai in Long Island ($20/day, bags only, no sparring). Each of these facilities is world class - that’s why you don’t need to be a member to drop in. (If anyone is ever going to be in NYC on a monday or friday, let me know – if it’s one of my abbreviated work weeks, I’ll give you a unique “tour”. That and a few bruises.) Drop-in classes in my area cost approximately the same amount - $25-50 / hour / class or per day.
As for Pheromones, I’ve just about settled on the Pheromones I’m going to use regularly: IFM, Ammo, NPA, and probably A314. I’ve played with more complex mixes, but intend to use simple mixes, and I like that each one of these products is also effective individually, without the other products. Also, I doubt I will be posting very often here after January 1st, except for the inevitable times when I’m laid up with an injury.
Wednesday.
Strike two for Instant Chumminess.
I got nuthin’.
Tomorrow is an IFM and -Nols day due to the crew I’ll be working with.
I’m not out to hijack the thread but as a “goober monk” myself I’m going all out today for our Harvest Holiday gathering. Myself, my two main targets, and one of the target’s parents (who don’t really “know about us”).
A314 (2drops) widespread; 2.5 IFM (three females to just two guys and I don’t care about daddy) back of head (1), butt area (.5), lower front torso (1); a squirt of IShine, neck and smeared on arms, and 2 IOpenness to front chest and arms mostly (upper body). And a dab of TAA under nose to counteract IFM on me. Now let’s see what happens…
.
Shiite!
Good Luck - and I’m joining you. Going all out. But I’m going to work. 
2 A314
2 Anol
2 Bnol
4 IFM
3 Ammo
So what kind of results did you see?
Thanksgiving.
Not very busy tonight. Everyone sat around bitching about their families and husbands.
One even went so far as to thank me for playing therapist.
No sexual hits, but I wasn’t going for that effect, I flirted with NOBODY, I worked with coworkers that I’ve worked closely with in the past, and one wishy-washy female who I’ve never gotten along with seemed to be very friendly for the most part. I feel no attraction towards any of them.
One negative thing, though, stands out in my mind - as they were leaving for the night I stepped out of the locker room half dressed - wearing a T-shirt and jeans - and said goodnight. They replied goodnight, and then as I turned around and they turned the corner I (barely) heard the wishy washy one say to the other, “He (murmur) fa—”
…
“He’s fat?” “He’s a fag?” 
…
I can’t think of a positive phrase that fits what little I’d overheard.
Fantastic …
“He’s fab …”
Hahahahha, I was’nt expecting y’all to try to fill in the blanks… I was thinking the “(murmur)” was “is not”.
Gabe, Because you’ve been down on yourself once or twice, and we noticed that. You shouldn’t be.
?!
I didn’t notice that myself.
And thanks for caring, but I’m mostlyt trying to keep my posts from being 100% positive or skewed in such a way that people think I’m a shill, so I often post a few neutral or negative things that are less impactful than they may seem. That last post was an incomplete portrayal of what happened and what I thought about it - I was tired, wanted to crank out a post before I forgot everything that happened, and I crawled into bed soon after writing it. I honestly didn’t give much thought or credence to what she said. Heck, I’m still too tired to break it down completely. Going back to bed (I only got up to eat.)
Thanks again guys, but seriously, there’s no reason to worry about me being down. I think I’m going to have to make note of my state of mind on my posts so that I’m not misinterpreted in the future.
For example, my nightly ritual – “I’m exhausted, can’t think straight, but want to record this before I forget everything”. It’s usually something like “I really need to sleep but I want to finish my herbal tea before bed, and I’m chatting with my family members (but they can’t type!) so I’m killing time here.” or “I’ve been researching and writing for 4 hours straight, my eyes are crossing, and I need to read somebody ELSES writing for a change…” etc etc
Generally speaking, you guys never see me at my best.
So seeing the words “fab” and “fantastic” was pretty funny.
Thanks for that laugh.:o
Okay: first I also added a couple dabs of Pheros before I left as a cover. MMmmmmm.
About all I can say for sure is that the gathering went well. I couldn’t see anything negative that I could attribute to the pheromones. On the possible positive side there were no big “hostile” fights, which sometimes occur, although the primary “instigator(s)” weren’t there this time. Good conversations. I was able to turn the TV OFF (it’s often on ALL the time) wtihout it getting turned back on. We ate off tray tables while sitting in the living room/TV room, not at a formal table. Now I can’t read too much into this, but I noticed Target #2 may have set things up so that I ended up sitting next to her on the small “love seat” type couch. But that’s sorta my default anyway, and I had to share the spot with her, two cats, and two dogs.
We really didn’t “circulate”/walk around so I’m not sure what I was wearing was dispersed very well to all. Overall the gathering seemed “calmer” than some have in the past.
I also think Target #2 is a little “wary” of showing any kind of “attraction” for me in the presence of her parents, but she was a bit less standoffish than I thought she might have been in these circumstances, and after a while even managed to get her feet/legs curled up under her in such a way that she was touching me with them. “I’m part of her ‘family’ feeling” (almost, and I mean very amost, a “boyfriend” connection) is what I was sorta detecting. Maybe the “possesive” effects of a314???
Very cool results, Rbt. (Is it Robert?)
I don’t have time at the moment to flesh this out, but I’ll get back to this thread tomorrow sometime. My plan for tomorrow is to clean, exercise, and run a full-frontal assault on PubMed. May have to hit the medical library to refresh my archives and copy some journal articles. So I’ll be online all fricking day.
Here are some details from last night that I need to flesh out:
- 1 female froze up in front of me before leaving her shift. Definitely NOT a DIHL, I have a theory.
- Red-Hot cutie was sweet before leaving w/ ex-stripper. I wore the -nols to placate her but don’t know if they’re needed.
- Other cutie showed up, mutual friend of ours acted odd in an amusing and revealing way.
- Wishy-Washy chick - jeez, I don’t know where to begin.
More tomorrow.

“Just as no one is as good as they seem, nobody is as bad.”
-Yasuhiro Yamashita, one of the greatest judo players of all time.
I wore 4 sprays of Ammo and 1 drop of A314 today.
I actually did nothing but sleep today, so I was refreshed when I headed into work for the evening.
Wore a yellow T-shirt under my scrubs, jeans and a black fleece jacket to work.
I wear that jacket almost daily, and left it out on one of the office chairs today, in the work area where all of the women were sitting. The ladies say it smells nice, like a mix of the “different colognes” that I wear. I don’t know if it had anything to do with todays social behavior, but I deviously took advantage of my jacket when i realized they could smell the -small amount of most of the -pheromones that are sold by Androtics on its collar. We all sat in a circle when we weren’t working, and that chair was opposite from my own. The friendliest one of the women sat i the chair that i draped my jacket over.
Sat around between the few patients and procedures that we had. I didn’t do much flirting outside my small circle of coworkers. I was the only male for the last 8 hours of the shift, I think all of the women I worked with today are attractive (and they know I feel that way) and I felt like the center of attention. Spent a great deal of time talking about relationships, divorce, the sex positions in Cosmo magazine, marriage, and my lust for Angelina Jolie - (The ladies:“that home wrecker!”) and my distaste for Jennifer Anniston (Ladies:“Awww… but she’s sooo sweeeet”). Had an endless Angelina-Jolie-inspired debate about what is “sexy” vs what is “slutty” and what I want in a woman.
Had a lot of fun.
They had issues with the fact that, in my eyes, Angie can do no wrong, even if she IS wrong.
I told them they were just jealous.

Damn if that’s not the truth.
On friday I mentioned…
I’m going to skip the wishy-washy chick. Too much negativity in that emotional black hole. I’ll just mention this - she thinks she missed her calling; “I should have worked for the CIA or FBI.” Right she is. Biatch.
The ex stripper and red-hot saturday girl:
Soon after I arrived at work, these two people rushed to get dressed and leave. Thanksgiving is a casual holiday for most people - they wear jeans and spend time with their family - but these chicks dressed in a way that was very flattering to their figure. The young 20something girl has nothng to prove. Men have been known to drool and glaze over when she’s around. And she seems pleasant about it. I certainly don’t know from experience, but when you’re that attractive there are only two ways to behave… you can either be full of yourself, or very gracious and humble. From what I can tell, she’s the latter. Very sweet. The day I met first met her, she was having a bady day and cursed like a sailor. It was actually kind of scary, but she hasn’t behaved like that since then. And I’ve always worn placating -pheromones around her, since that day and have assumed that she reacted strongly to my pheromone use since she is only around them biweekly and has not had the chance to get used to them. I need to go without in order to see how she behaves without the influence of pheromones.
Ms.redhot was happily prancing around saying “fuzzy booots - look at my fuzzy wuzzy boots!”, while I admired how good she looked without make-up but wearing a very tight, candy-cane like red and white sweater. The girl wants implants because her breasts are small. I commented that she doesn’t need them, she looks just fine the way she is. I was obviously being sincere, so she smiled and thanked me. Very sweet girl.
Then the ex-stripper cam out of the locker room where I know, from experience, that she can hear everything that was said outside. Same boots. Jeans. Very tight, incredibly low cut black T-shirt. Her breasts were practically jumping out of the shirt. Very big, round, firm looking. I couldn’t help staring at what I’ll call her “third boob”…her GUT.
She walked around me, turned to face me while staring into my eyes from about 3 feet away, and basically leaned back and pushed out her chest as far as she could. She WANTED me to say something. I froze. I thought there was going to be some kind of Janet-jackson-esque hardware failure. She didn’t say anything, just stood there staring into my eyes, while my eyes darted from her eyes to her gut, and back again. I imagine she thought I was staring at her other two boobs.
DIHL? Yep. I DIHL’d. The phrase “Nice boobs. Do more situps.” was racing through my mind and I was struggling unbelievably hard not to say it. Then I tore my eyes away from her gut when little Miss redhot came over, put her hand on my shoulder, leaned over while standing on one foot, adjusted one of her boots and slapped the ex-strippers boots. She smelled like candy.
I quickly wiped away the drool from the corners of my mouth.
“It’s raining! Pete needs to carry us to our cars so our boots don’t get wet!”
We all laughed, she’s so damned cute. After they left I sat deep in thought for awhile, wondering to myself about their competitiveness - was it influenced by pheromones or not? Was it normal? DAMN, could I sleep with both of them?
Ah, to sleep, perchance to…
I’ll get back to the younger cutie in my next post. It’s 6:30 am and I’ve been up for two hours. Insomnia sucks. Going back to bed.
gabe, you are on your way to writing a best seller book.
I enjoy it very much, keep going!
And, yes sleep with both of them
Thanks - I’m glad you enjoy it. I don’t know how many people actually read it (it averages out to 15-16 visits per post) but this isn’t exactly my best writing. It’s more like rambling and I’m not going to keep it up much longer. Between my medical/technical writing and my schedule, I really don’t have much time for this anymore. I’m happy to say that, too because it’s become an addiction.
And it’s funny that you should mention me writing a “best seller”.
I started writing one last night.
Horror/Suspense - very similar mechanics to Bruce Joel Rubin’s movie “Jacob’s Ladder”. I don’t want to post too much about my story, because it would be easy to rip off and turn into a movie if I even mention the concept/premise behind it. I’ll only say that it has a lot of psychology and cosmology involved, just like Jacob’s Ladder, but revolves around everyday situations rather than a Vietnam veteran. See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099871/ for an extensive background on that film, which is one of my favorites. if you’re interested, allso see http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/filmography.html?p_id=109197&mod=bio for a summarized filmography/biography of Bruce Rubin. I’ve decided to begin to collect his movies and any scripts I can find online, because I like the concepts and ideas behind his outlook on life and death. I’m also looking into Fiction and Screenwriting classes at Gotham Writer’s Workshops in NYC. I’ll try to attend a seminar next month in NYC, and I just found out that they offer online classes through http://www.writingclasses.com .
Oh, and about those women? I failed to mention that they’re both married, so even if it is a possibility - I won’t cross that line.
It’s the whole pheromone blog idea, be it on this forum or in separate blogs. It’s just fun to read what others do while doing one’s own experiments. And if they write well, a part of their life becomes alive for the readers. Like I have lots of internal pictures about your hospital, all those women, coworkers, patients… and some pretty weired picture of you… 
It’s not the first time this has happened to me in on online forum. There are various explanations for this, personally I believe there are energetical effects going on…
So the two are married? I understand that you don’t like to be “in between” - neither do I
I wish I had a testing ground like you do… When I first was really into pheromones a couple of years ago, I spent every day on a university campus, which was perfect for testing…
