Considering that Androstenol is converted from Androstenone through 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, my guess is that the more fat you have the higher amount of 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase you have, or at least conversion happens at a higher rate.
I think I read some studies saying that in sites where there was an increase in omentum fat tissue there was also an increase in 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity..
You know when I was heavier like 20lbs heavier and not use to take very good care of myself it does seem people were slightly more friendly and there is something to this with the natural body.
When I started taking better care of myself and taking a male multi support vitamin and quit drinking I lost a little weight just from this and right after that with women in the 40 plus range all of a sudden started to take a lot of interest in me probably due to my natural higher output of the Rone, None.
I have found with social pheromones I need them now for the younger crowd to be more open to me to now balance out my natural signature now and to tone things down a bit with the older women.
I think this is why it seemed to me I was incredibly “popular” in middle school. Girls would always be chatting me up, so would guys. I was chubby, and bordering fat. I didn’t start taking care of my health until 10th grade.
My social skills are sharper with both women and men, but I can’t replicate the type of social presence I had back in '05 - '09.
