Just a quick Instant Gentleman story:
Pheromones:
2-3 drops NPA on pulse points on the neck
2 sprays Instant Gentleman covering the NPA
A spray or two of cologne
I run into a friend of mine with his two young sons. Older one is in High School - 16/17 years old. Younger son is in Middle School. Older one has his girlfriend in tow. I know the family pretty well. We say hello. Older son has his girlfriend with him. I have met her once before quickly in passing. A very nice, attractive young lady same age as him.
So we are talking. Younger son takes Dad over to store window to show him the latest gadget he wants. Older son re-introduces me to girlfriend. I remind him that she and I have met before and exchange a few words with her. We go on talking.
At a certain point, older son decides to crack a joke and give me a knick-name based on a couple gray hairs at the temple. I just look at him and jokingly say “You know, accidents happen and you can be replaced real quick.” As soon as I say this I am worried the girlfried may not realize we joke like this often so I look at her to see if she is shocked and say “Right?” to bring her into the joke.
As if on cue, and without a word, she steps over to me, stands right against my side and leans her head on my shoulder as if I were her boyfriend. I put my arm around her shoulder and say something like “See?” to my young friend. His eyes get a little big.
And then of course I realize that this is a 16 year old girl standing here with my arm around her and … I don’t need to go into legalities, Mrs. Bosshank, my kids (who are not much younger than her), appearances, etc..
She is not moving. Even when I take my arm off her shoulder she does not move. Now I know she sees me as a safe father-figure she is helping to tease her boyfriend but is she still not moving.
So finally I gently nudge her back to her boyfriend and she goes.
Two points guys:
First: This interaction might not have happened had I been wearing my A314 work mix as it might have been a little “strong” for the situation and the young lady in general. Now I know I was wearing th NPA and that did not seem to bother her but I still think that Instant Gentleman has a “warmer” feel than A314 even if you add some 'none into the mix.
Second: Be careful. Good social skills assisted by pheromones can put you in funny situations fast. If I had been a young guy and possible romantic interest doing that instead of a safe father-figure cracking a joke back on a wise-crack, who knows what woulda happened then or later.
