Are pheromones less effective on people who know that you are using them/have used them? Someone found out somehow, I guess the to-go bottle of IS fell out of my pocket while I was passed out on the couch, and someone picked it up and saw “pherotalk” on it, and now most of the people in that group of friends know and give me shit about it.
Thankfully, the bottle was empty and I was able to play it off as if I didn’t believe they worked at all, and that my cousin got it for me as a joke. I really don’t know if anyone still thinks I use them, but I’m not sure, as they do seem to be less effective than they used to be on the one girl of the group who now knows.
Yeah in a way they could be less effective for people might throw up some sort of protective measures in certain situations, but unless they are trained to detect an exact scent, they wouldn’t know what you are wearing.
Generally I find mones less effective among people I know well and see daily. It’s not that they don’t sense mones at a biological level. They have you pegged and thus their brain tends to “filter” out mone signals: stand down ye privates this guy is already in my inactive sex category. So you really have to to handstands to change that mindset. For these reasons mones tend to be most effective on strangers and causal acquaintances. They don’t know you yet and your mone signal gets factored in at face value.
As for friends finding you stash, that’s bad news as they will have their guard up. Might even think you a fool or, worse, a loser perv. Back in the day I used bring up mone use and the reactions were about 90% negative. Extremely negative as in scam, pervert or loser. One former GF said it’s use in seduction would be a good basis for a lawsuit…
They were actually just making a big joke out of it, not what you said they might do, Gegogi. Also, the girl in question used to like me, but now she doesn’t show as many IOIs. (she stopped showing IOIs as often before she knew I used them)
You shouldn’t have gotten defensive over the Instant Shine. You could have explained that it’s a feel-good product that you use for the collective benefit of yourself and others.
A bit late with the advice but maybe in future peel off the labels and colour code them with a coloured marker so you know which is which?
And if it makes you feel any better, the first time I got a girl back to my room I stupidly left a book on pick up right next to my bed which she picked up and started reading. She pretty much just looked at me and couldn’t hold back a laugh.
Oh I will never forget that long awkward moment xD
I’ve told friends about mones in the past and it’s still had an effect on them months later. Although I’m pretty close friends to them and I don’t think they were really paying attention at the time
Mones still effect people that know you use them. It’s just that they are more aware now just like you are. Trust me I work with a coworker that wears them and her mones still affect me. I can tell when she is and isn’t wearing them. She can tell when I’m wearing a new mix.
I used Mx395 around her once and she completely forgot about mones and thought that I was being cocky, overly friendly, and rude. All I said was “hello”.
It depends on HOW WELL you know them. I made some of my friends wear it, but I got NADA! He said he even sprayed 5 shots of IG once, and other times, 3x IJ.
I felt nothing different than usual. I did get some headache being around him once after a few hours, so I did ask him… With ammo, you have that cologne smell, so you can tell, but that might be it…
