In the last few days I’ve tried _acting_ like in the same way that I do when I’m wearing [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) … without wearing anything. Interesting reactions. The trick/confusing-aspect is in the looking for reactions in others. I find that I get what seems to be a minor key “response” when I look for people’s reaction. Basically, when I’m looking for a response I’m paying more and closer attention to other people. They occasionally notice and give me some attention back. This may not be the same as a major “hit” but it is an example of how observing the experiment actually changes the experiment. I have to be more careful, observe more subtly, test longer. Learning how to do this is not so easy. I want results in my own life, I want them in certain ways, certain places … my wish for a result, other than inforamation, may cloud my judgement at this early stage (I’m just starting out with all this).

Reps for a great post and good observations. We need to explore this aspect of pheros more. Maybe the best way to do it is to always act as if you’re wearing pheros (observing no matter what you have on), and that could be your control. Either that or fire-and-forget the pheros and only note the “hits” that really stick out. Personally, I do a little of both. ---

Thanks! Even though I was trying to run under the radar of others, when I look for a response in others they catch me at it and respond to my attention. When I act like I’ve got somekind of social advantage people react to my confidence. Big hits may be one way to tell, or minor stuff that just keeps constantly happening or catches you unawares may be another. But I found constant IOIs in return because of MY interest (my cheerful, confident interest) … I’m now trying to develop a certain level of awareness that will become my standard operating proceedure, no less no more. The kind of attitude that I would “put on” if I experimentally drenched myself in some wild brew and the went out on the town seems now like it might have been responsible for some of the effect … the “hell, let’s just see what happens” aspect may have been an additional element. I’m also considering proceeding with this only while 100% sober (that has other benefits too!) My wanting a reaction, and causing a (minor) reaction by my attitude (never too “out there” but cretainly not “scientific”), and getting caught _looking_ for a reaction might be tainting the experiment. That said, it been fun! If we all approached things like a bunch of nerds in lab coats this forum would not be the exciting place it is. ---

The best way to observe pheromones in effect, IMHO, is to actually have a third party wearing the pheromones, you being close by to observe their interaction, but staying out of enough to allow the third party to steer the interaction. I watched my friend wear a couple sprays of IS. I have to admit, it was fun watching the same girls run up to him hugs again and again. 😃
