I have a hard time getting past the smell of Instant Shine, and it has never done much for me. I was happy to buy a bottle of unscented TAA oil. Everybody has such good things to say about it. It seems to be one of those products you just can’t go wrong with.
The only thing I notice is that it seems to undo the effects of A314. It doesn’t have any up-lifting effect that I feel. If anything it is a little depressing. It is as though for every drop of TAA I add, a drop of A314 is neutralized. People stop treating me with respect. Women are down right unfriendly. When I wear A314 I am accustomed to being treated as though I own the place – whatever the place might be! TAA ends that.
I wonder if anyone has an explanation for this. The best I can do is to speculate that as it removes personal distance, it brings people closer to me than they (or I) am comfortable with. It is kind of the ‘familiarity breeds contempt’ sort of thing – blam, the Instant Anti-A314!
I notice a similar effect with IFM, if I wear too much. I like IFM. A little of it removes the shrill harshness from certain women and even seems to calm the snarly female dog within myself on difficult days. If I wear too much, women are understandably more comfortable with me to the point of being less deferential. The other day I wanted things to go smoothly at lunch and I used several extra sprays. This woman just kept asking me when I was going to have sex with her. The truthful answer was “never,” but I didn’t want to be rude. I wish I’d used a little less IFM. The IH contributed too, but I like honesty. With the TAA, though, even a small amount seem to exactly cancel the A314. And I do not notice any positive effects.
This is NOT one of those ‘how can I get a refund’ threads. I’m keeping the TAA and Instant Shine and experimenting to the end. I want have those positive experiences everyone else is talking about. I’m curious if anyone has any interpretations or suggestions about what I’m experiencing.
Normally, I wear 2 drops of A314, a few inches of SOE, 2 sprays of IH and one spray of IFM. If I wear 1 drop of A314 it is just an annoyingly small taste of what’s possible; 2 sprays and people treat me like I’m very important; 3 sprays and I want to punch out cops – so I’ve settled on two sprays. Now I am considering the scary possibililty of increasing my A314 to see if I can keep the A314 effects when I wear TAA and perhaps learn something about what TAA might bring to the mix. When I wear TAA all alone I don’t seem to notice anything from it.
Next week I’m planning to try 3 drops of A314, 2 drops of TAA, 2 sprays of IH, 1 spray of IO and 1 spray of IFM. I’m increasing the A314 and adding TAA. I’m also adding a spray of IO to the IH to tone down the seriousness a little at the -nol level and I’m dropping the SOE since I’ve already added -rones and -nol.
Any suggestions before I proceed?
