And to think, I found this site while searching for a good 'Pink Sugar' dupe...

Introductions - New Users, Say "Hello"!

Hi all!

I’m a 26 year old lady from Virginia. waves

I recently fell in love with the fragrance ‘Pink Sugar’ and I didn’t want to spend so much on the actual perfume. I typed in Google ‘Pink Sugar Dupe’ or something along those lines and this forum came up along with a bunch of other links.

I then proceeded to check out the thread about finding dupes to fragrances and realized I was intrigued more about the forum the thread was part of. I’ve known about pheromones and such being added to body care products, but never knew that that had specialty pheromones like these out there!

I seriously lack confidence and always wondered why people at past jobs didn’t talk to me much. Recently after crying about this thinking I’m just that horrible to be around, my boyfriend had a little talk with me.

This is pretty much what he told me. (I’m not trying to brag or anything.)-
He told me that when a beautiful woman is walking around looking so uncomfortable with themselves, it just looks to others like the person is pissed. Therefore, people think I’m just another 'hot stuck up too good for anyone bitch." (b/f’s words) If I wasn’t so attractive, even the frown wouldn’t turn as many people away. They’re just intimidated.

It made me feel so horrible. I love people, I just am so uncomfortable around everyone. I have anxiety and depression issues, so that doesn’t help. I also can never think of anything to talk about. Whenever I’m in groups of people, I’m always the person who is just happy to be there. Then when I do talk, I can never get what I want to say out. My brain gets flustered.:stuck_out_tongue:

It gets embarrassing when I’m trying to talk to someone, especially a waitress/waiter. And that is just when giving an order for food. Imagine at work trying to explain something to a customer. How can a customer trust my information if I cannot even get it all out properly?

I’m even too scared to drive because I’m scared everyone will be watching me and my mess-ups. So basically I can only have a job if it meshes with my boyfriends schedule since he’d have to drive me. So right now, I have no job and, well… sigh.. I’m stuck at some alone for much of the time reading, living vicariously through fictional FBI agents, lawyers, wizards (that’s kind of fun) etc… My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 years. I’m so lucky that he is so understanding. Things have been harder because he has gotten laid off 2 times in 3 months. So my not really being able to help is bringing me down more.

I understand that these pheromones are in no way magic and only enhance what is already there. I just hope they can give me a step in the right direction in the confidence department. I want people to want to come and talk to me, I want to be able to go up to people and have a great conversation! I want friends. I want people to look forward to talking with me. Okay, getting emotional here. I should end this.

Thanks for reading and sorry for the length. It feels good to type this out even if no one reads all the way through. I look forward to being a long time part of this community.

Any recommendations as to what I should try first would be wonderful. I’ve been reading a lot, but a feel a bit overwhelmed. Thanks again!

Hello LoveBunny,

it is very good you came here. Not only will you get sounds advice here about pheromone use, members usually give out good advice on emotional and life issues as well.

It is good you already understood that in no way pheromones will provide allround solutions to your current issues. What they can do is aid you in your quest to become a happier person. And happy persons are delight to be around, aren’t they? They will also not be a cure for depression and anxiety related issues. They can help put you in a better state of mind to battle them but it is very important to not rely solely on pheromones. They are not medicine. I advice you to go talk to a professional about the depression and anxiety. I did that and it helps. There is no reason to fight that battle alone. Please think about that.

I know of certain products that cause me (male) to gain confidence and better allround posture while dealing with the ‘outside world’. I am not really sure these products are for women also, but more experienced users might be able to tell you.

There is a unisex product called Instant Shine. This is one of the ‘social’ products. It contains TAA, which can elevate both your mood and the mood of people you interact with. In short, you will be fun to be around. Also when you are in a good mood it is harder to stay inside your own mind where all the bad things happen. For me at least it works that way. When you get your GC for this introductory post I suggest you use it to at least buy a to-go of IS and try this out.

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your phero journey.

nice! really dig you pic, lol. I live near you; maybe, you have been exposed to my pheros, heh. I suggest instant sexiness B to soften you up and make guys less intimidated. Also, instant shine is always good. It will boost your youth, feminity, and give you charm. Plus, it will put others in good mood.
IO would help others open up and chat with you. IH would make others close and connected. Welcome and stick around. Ask Sillykat and Tisha, if you need more help

Hello and Welcome, come on it and relax!!

I get that in the womens section, many use Pink Sugar as a cover of their mones application. I hear about how wonderful it is, and almost want to just get it as a ‘gift’ to the wife, just so I can take a whiff!!!

From my own experience, inline with what Coolkat and Bolkie mentioned, I would recommned IS for a smile in a bottle! You get that for yourself and others will feel that happy want to be around you affect. You could also take a look at my sig below, for looking at an overview of all of the consumer products in the great post by P51!

IO will have you feeling comfortable talking to others without that care of what they’ll think or worry of if you’ll trip up. At the same time, it’ll give the same ease of conversation effect on those in your phero cloud.

Though from what I’ve read in the Womens forums, MX300 is more along the lines of having confidence in yourself. THis is reported as the A314 for women. Though it is an MX which is a test mix, not commercial line, several women love it. Check out the womens section on the MX300 as well as IS/a and IS/b. Those are great depending on your personality as well. The women here will quickly chime in about these! :wink:

BTW, I thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings as this is a very good step in realizing you are a wonderful person and can be wonderful to others as well!!! I did read all the way through! :slight_smile:

Welcome and we, the women and men, are ready to give you the support you need to better yourself with advice on social interactions as well as what mones can help you out! :smiley:

you should think about getting your boyfriend AMMO or A314. I say A314, since you don’t want other girls getting attracted to him, lol. Also, CTTM2 would be great for you.
It will give others some warm feeling and get them to come and talk to you. Mx300 if you want others to respect and see you as a top notch alpha female.
Also, be patient your gc will be issued soon :wink:

****Thanks for your warm welcome!

I do understand that these aren’t for treating depression or anxiety. I’ve seen many a specialists about those issues, even a Hypno-therapist. (bad experience) I just hope these give me at least a little boost in a positive direction. I figure what have I got to lose? :slight_smile:

Thanks for suggesting the Instant Shine. I was looking at that one and read it’s a good one to start with. I also read that it’s effects for the wearer can ‘wear off’ after a few weeks if not interchanged with others so the wearer themselves wont feels the effects anymore, just everyone else will. Is this the case with everyone?

blushes Thanks for the compliment!

All you guys are just so freaking nice. It’s like a big hug reading all your information,welcomes suggestions etc. I really appreciate you all chiming in. This is such a wonderful supportive forum. :smiley:

I shall definitely check out the Instant Shine. That is the most recommended one that I have seen. :slight_smile: I’m also about to go back to the order site and check out the MX300 and Instant Openness as well.

I’m about to make a special file in Notepad with all of everyones recommendations. Thank you all so much.

Tread MX’s with care. Sometimes it won’t work for some people.

It may help that you try out the Instant Sexiness Line, I would use that in conjunction with CTTM.

Based on what you said, I think that with some help, IS/b and CTTM combo would be great for you. I say IS/b because of the “you look stuck up” look and I think from what you’ve said here you’re completely someone that’s different.

Pheromones can help soften or give u confidence, but in reality, it takes a lot of work on yourself to be more and more confident. And based on your looks from your avatar, you shouldn’t have a problem getting that jump started.

The ladies, tisha, sillykitty, Mickaelia, just to name a few are a wealth of information out there.

Because you’re also looking for some predictability, MX’s typically won’t last long.

Everyone is giving you great recommendations!

I really recommend picking up some Instant Shine along with the what the others said. Instant Shine should be a staple in anyone’s collection.

Welcome to Pherotalk Lovebunny!

You received some really good advice from the guys. I know that eventually you will be popping into the women’s section to bond with us ladies.

I will definitely start of and stick to the instant lines until we are 100% sure on what experimental mixes we are releasing.

Instant shine is a definitely a mood lifter, you give off that light, happy vibe that draws others to you and if you are giving off that intimidating vibe this will definitely help.

CTTM 2 I really love because it makes ppl approach me more and bring this warm , intimate feel to moments I need it to with lovers or boyfriends.

Instant sexiness/b more suits your personality but I will go with instant sexiness/a to give you that confidence boast you need and make you feel sexy.

I can’t wait to hear your results once you start testing.

Your gc was issued. :cool:

11

I got the GC. :slight_smile: Now I just have to make some decisions!

When reading about the Instant Sexiness A and B, I’m afraid I’m missing the difference between the two since their descriptions seem to be the same. (Unless I totally missed something) Why would B be best for my personality? And why do you recommend A? :smiley: I’m loving all this input.

12

Thanks for the picture compliment. :slight_smile:

I’ll stay away from the Mx’s then. IS/B, IS and CTTM are now in my cart on the site. I’m now debating on IS/A since Mickaelia said it could help with confidence. Shall I try both? I’m hesitant since I’m on a budget. I’m just getting the to-go’s for now.

I cannot find the IS/A or B in the full sizes on the site anymore to read up on them again. Have they sold out? I’m assuming that’s why they’re not visible on there at the moment.

13

your right, I just looked as well and didn’t find any 30ml bottles for IS/a or b.

You could PM Steve or call him up in the morning.

Hopefully they’ll have it for you!

14

Well, I went nuts and bought a bunch of the To Go sizes to give these a try and experiment. Thanks again for all of your help!

15

LOL!!! :smiley:

Whenever you have a chance, I’d suggest you give Steve a call and check with him about the 30ml. Gives ya a reason to call him!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

He’s so very helpful and it’s great to get some insight from a ‘live’ person!

Have fun with your order!!! Hope to read about your adventures!!! :slight_smile:

Instant Sexiness B has a cute demure sort of vibe that would be very congruent with who you are it seems. I agree with Mickaelia in as much as IS/A would be good for a confidence booster. More of a dominant assertive strong sexy woman sort of vibe.
I hear a lot of good things about CTTM2 although Instant Openness is good for a light fun outgoing sort of vibe and Instant Honesty is better for serious conversation, connection and deep rapport…CTTM2 is sort of a halfway between the two.
I definitely think Instant Shine would be helpful with any mix or combo. It’s designed to have a fun, warm, likable, youthful charisma vibe that compliments pretty much anything you wear. Personally I also get a sort of confidence boost when I wear it.

As for actual self work. My ex from a few years ago went on a personal development kick and purchased “The Swan Curriculum” you can probably find it used and cheap on amazon. It’s pretty good for looking objectively and working on improving almost every area of your life. They recommend plastic surgery and I’d ignore that aspect as I don’t encourage that besides which you really don’t need that. But I’ve found both for myself and for my gf at the time that the simple act of knowing that you’re going in a certain direction lifewise can give you a sense of accomplishment and accompanying confidence.

Thanks for clearing up the differences! I had completely forgot to do a search on the forum about the differences before asking here. I looked them up there as well. I ended up buying both, so I’ll try one for a week, then try the other the next.

I also got Instant Shine 2x. That one sounds like a wonderful starter. So that one is one I might try first. I also loaded up on CTTM2 and IO and IH. I’m definitely going to read up more on how to combine them (after my initial using one at a time for a few weeks) so there isn’t useless redundancy. :smiley::smiley:

I’ll have to read up on “The Swan Curriculum”. I’m really bad at step by step behavioral stuff. I have gone to shrinks and they’d send me home with a simple thing to do, some mental exercise or something else along those lines, and I never felt motivated to do them. Not the best thing, me ignoring them. Since I’m older now (stopped 6 years ago), I might take something like that more seriously.

I personally think plastic surgery is wonderful if done for the right reasons. I have benefited immensely. So I personally don’t disagree with plastic surgery depending on what their reasoning is.

…Oh wow… I just looked it up. Now the title makes sense. I remember that show! BWAHAHAHAaaa. Now I see why a book like that recommends plastic surgery, it was because the show was almost totally based on it. I might be able to find an ebook download of this title to read on my Kindle. I am intrigued. Thanks for the idea!

In either case we all hope you not only have a great experience with your products, but that you’ll become a regular and report your experiences and effects with them in the ladies forum. You’ll find a number of the women here to be knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful both with advice on mones as well as self growth and lifecoaching type questions.

I think the ladies here would be quite welcoming since we big hairy man types outnumber them like 5-1 and Androtics could use some more female reporting users in order to help them develop new products for the ladies :smiley:
