Just to let everyone know I’m starting out with a healthy dose of skepticism. I’m also not much of a journaling type but I thought I’d pop in now and then with my thoughts on trying pheromones for the first time.
I started yesterday with 2 drops of A314 and today. I haven’t noticed anything with regard to other people yet but I may be having a slight self effect. I’m noticing that I’m slightly bolder than I normally am in a positive way. It’s intriguing. Curious to see what happens after a week or more.
Not everyone who writes journals post in them daily. Sometimes it’s every time they have a chance to test and come on the forum.
Now, I was gonna suggest if you don’t do a journal at least ensure that all your reports are in one thread so it’s easier for you and it won’t be scattered everywhere on the forum.
Putting all your findings in one thread is similar to having a journal. Think about it!
You know, today’s post is going to be more of a reflection than an observation but I will start with an observation. Yesterday I had dinner with a good friend. There’s no romantic overtone here. She’s married to my best friend and there’s no way under any circumstances that we would ever do anything even questionable. (besides, I’m not really her type anyway). We’ve always been pretty open with each other but I did notice that she seemed a bit more open than usual, sharing her feelings and frustrations with a little more depth an I was expecting. I had only used 2 drops of a314 in the morning and this was in the evening at dinner on my second day of using it.
It got me thinking about something I’ve observed in the forums here. There seems to be this prevailing idea that “the pheromones made me do it.” That is, this concept that wearing pheromones can forcibly or subtly change someone’s behavior. I have been reminded of my studies into subliminal things back in college. I spent several years researching subliminals and talking to various professors about it. Now subliminals are not the little “secret” messages in ads. They encompass things like taste, texture, color, smell, etc. In other words, they are affective.
What I learned is that subliminals are absolutely real but they have an absolute limit. They try to influence how you feel about something on a subconscious level but cannot influence actual decision making. It can make you feel a bit more favorable or unfavorable to something but the higher brain functions that handle things like cost/benefit can and will override the lower brain functions.
And that’s what I’m beginning to see here about pheromones both in the stories people have shared and in what is becoming and obvservation in my own life. The pheromones won’t make someone love you, hate you, kiss you, punch you. They may help magnify or confirm something someone has wanted to do but both wearer and observer are in complete control at all times. The self effect people report seems to largely be people acting out of what they are wanting to do or believe about themselves and found that pheromones are a good anchor psychologically to justify it or rationalize it. They needed s push, in other words. The effects on others seem to be more about a combination of the wearer’s changed attitudes plus a favorable or unfavorable impression that the pheromone contributes to.
So I’m curious to continue my experiment and see if this theory of mine holds up or if something happens to blow it out of the water.
I can tell that my posts are going to be less popular than others, lol.
Well, today is day 4 of 2 drops of A314. I thought I’d try a pure random observation. I needed to go to the Apple store and that there would be a line. Sure enough, I ended up standing there for about 30 minutes. Lots of people milling about, lots waiting too. Good mix of people: young, old, male, female, married, single, etc.
So I thought I’d do a test and see what the pheromone would do if I didn’t add any stimulation of my own. That is, if I didn’t approach someone or engage someone in conversation. Would the pheromone be enough on its own to “make” someone want to engage me?
Well, the answer is no. I was keen to observe body language and eye contact. I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. This continues to reinforce my observation in my previous post. I’m still keeping an open mind, though. Curious to see what will happen as I will have a few days coming up where I’ll be around a lot of people.
Hey, welcome, I too have a bottle of A314, but have decided to shelve it for now. I used to combine A314 (i.e. 2 drops) with IS (about 3-4 2* SPRAYS) but quit for personal reasons. I’ve actually made several threads on here but decided to delete them all and stick to one thread so remove any journal relating to the use of A314.
I may use pheromones occasionally, like once a week or every other week since I don’t socialize much. When I use it, I think it helps calm my nerves so I’m more focused and less edgy when dealing with people, in particular women.
If you read through journals, you may find that if you buy Dial Magnetic Soap and combine that with A314, it may help.
My own journal seems to support your theory, at least on a subliminal level that this stuff can sort of “steer” yourself or people, at best, and I’m still studying into this type of effect. I also read from journals on here that 90% of the time, pheromones will have no effect to getting girls to actually come and talk with you. So, it’s good to do allot of reading on here so you can have a realistic expectation of what these products can do. Again, I find the self-effects compensates for the lack of any obvious reaction (i.e. if it’s easier for you to talk to girls naturally with the products, you don’t need them to talk to you first.).
There is also an A314 insider forum that deals with A314 where you can ask Steve for the password.
Oh no, not at all. In fact I think it’d be more interesting to see different results or opinions!
A problem a lot of us face is with congruency and/or getting our mones hijacked. Since you were in a really crowded store, it might be more difficult for people to realize that the a314 was coming from u. Just a thought. To be honest, I have yet to have people approach me either but have had noticeable reactions in smaller settings.
Thanks for the thoughts guys! I was also in other situations today like church and a restaurant. For the most part everything was the same. But I also realize that some things take time so I’m not jumping to a conclusion yet.
But one thing I remember reading here reminds me of the chicken and the egg paradox. The advice was that you have to act in kind to what the pheromone you’re using is chemically sending out. So is it the changed behavior that creates the different reactions or the pheromones? Or some combination? That’s the riddle I’m playing with for a while.
I can say that since I started using A314 that I’ve felt a touch bolder than usual. But that could also be a self-fulfilling prophecy because I’ve been looking for it. At least I warned everyone that I’m starting out with skepticism, lol!
Several days later and some more thoughts. Over the last few days I’ve experimented with 3 or 4 drops of A314 to see if it would have any impact. Since I had a week with 2 drops it seems reasonable to think that adding a bit more might make any impacts more observable. I don’t have much to report in that department, though.
I have noticed that I have been more assertive than usual. I can’t be sure to assign that to my use of A314. There were indications of personal change in progress before I started. It may also be true that it has assisted the process. Only time will tell. Probably when I’m ready to experiment with no drops for a while. Will things remain the same or will I see something change?
So far I can’t tell anything meaningful at work. I’ve got a date tonight so I’m curious how that will go. Unlike others, my goal in life is not to score with women. I personally find that attitude degrading to women. But this will be the first date wearing this stuff. I’ll be curious to see if it goes any differently than past dates – although clearly hard to measure since each woman is different.
So I do remain somewhat skeptical but I’m curious to experience it in more situations. One thing I have noticed, though, is that wearing this stuff sometimes gives me headaches in the morning. Never happened (never) until wearing it.
Ok, have a few more days under my belt. Tried going without a couple of times to see if I could spot a difference. So far it seems pretty subtle but I do think I see some minor changes going on with a314. For myself I think there is a subtle, but noticeable, increase of boldness. Or perhaps, more accurately, more willingness to be bold. I can’t quite recognize if other people have noticed anything or changed their behavior much but I have had enough going on that I haven’t spent much time on it yet.
Tonight there’s a meeting I’m going to and will be curious to see how it goes.
Had an interesting time last night with what I bet most people here would call a hit but I don’t know if it’s a hit more than me just taking a chance. But saw this very pretty woman last night at my meeting and I went right over and talked to her. I had the A314 on and Fierce. She and I talked quite a bit for meeting each other the first time. The funny thing is that she also does some modeling and it turns out she is going to be one of the models I shoot in two weeks for a glamour workshop. Quite a coincidence. I asked her if shed be interested in me and my shooting partner doing a shoot with her and she’s interested in the idea. So it was prety nice. She smiled at me all evening until she had to leave. She’s in a relationship so I’m not looking for romance but it’s always nice to have a fun conversation with a pretty woman.
After reading about it here I decided to give Dial Magnetic a try. Not sure if I’ll use it during the working week, though. Just kind of curious how it will be with everything else.
a314 can get you easily in conversation with people (M/F) that are way out of your league (or if you think they are… because nobody is out of your league.. this is just so stupid to think that you can not talk with someone because he is the big guy… or she is the mega top naked model 2011).
So things might turn a different way if you add an extra -none product the next time. Or add IS + IO if you are looking just for fun time(talking)
Yes, I’ve noticed when I’ve tried IS with A314, one of the ‘hits’ was a cashier asked me if I did anything exciting today in a casual tone. This was the only clear hit I’ve gotten from the pheromone products to date and this was after I exercised on the gym.
I used 3-4 sprays of IS (2 strength) and two drops of A314 as the ‘magic’ number and type.
If this A314 makes a “James Bond” effect – or makes me look like an exciting person into exciting things…then this is a great mix. Also see other posters using IS and A314 and also reporting great results.
Dial Magnetic is reported on my journal and it has not done anything for me to date. Maybe it will for you - let us know how it goes.
Well, it’s been a busy couple of weeks but I thought I’d catch everyone up. Been trying different things from wearing no pheromones to different concentrations. Not really seeing too much. Had a very interesting opportunity the past two days to test. I am a part time photographer and I was taking a boudoir photography workshop on Wednesday and Thursday. It’s a small group and a couple of really hot models in their underwear. Wednesday I used a few drops of a314 and instant shine (2 sprays worth). Thursday was dial magnetic and A&F Fierce.
Honestly I had a better time with the latter than the former. But I noticed that much of that was influenced by how comfortable I was. The first day was rough and the second day wa smoother. I didn’t see anything from the girls (or the other photogs) that I would label hits as I see other people here labeling them. I would say, though, that self confidence and knowing how to joke with women (I learned a few things about that, too) probably is more useful overall.
I’m starting to fall into the idea that the pheromone thing is maybe more built up in my head than any actual effects. But I’m still trying. One nice benefit is that when I first smelled the a314 it smelled weird. Now I’m used to it, lol.
They’ll all be in one place.
