Hey friends,

I joined a long time ago, but since I’ve been away from the board for a while I thought I’d re-introduce myself.

I’m a mid-40s hetero male in Los Angeles. I was first interested in '[pheromones](https://a314.com/) for how they would influence others in social situations. I’m now even more interested for what they do for me (self-effect).

When I joined, I was aware of some of the scientific evidence of human pheromones and believed they had some impact, but thought that the marketing claims were greatly exaggerated. So I was partly open and partly skeptical, which I suppose is how a scientist should be.

Now that I’ve had more than a year’s experience with these products I feel a lot more comfortable with them. I’ll post more in the MEN’s pheromone advice section.

For all you newbies, I encourage approaching pheromones with a sense of curiosity about the possibilities and NOT a sense of urgency about getting results. Relax and have fun with them.

Welcome back - good to see you again or meet you for the first time as the case may be.

Much is the same - great products that work - many I am sure you will recognize - but a few new faces at the helm, a LOT of new members and certainly a lot more great products to test and work with.

Jump back in, start reading to see what is new, and let us know how your phero-adventures are going.

Hi Ksage. Welcome back but more importantly Hi since we never meet.

Great advice for newbies but I guess wisdom does come with age. I am looking forward to hearing from you from time to time and reading on your posts.
