I have wanted to post about my experiences since getting my first shipment about two weeks ago, but I’ve been super busy! So here is my report of a few memorable hits. I am starting to believe that pheromones really work.
Note: I am in the middle of a crazy time and haven’t started an official pheromone journal, which I understand is really helpful in figuring out what works. I promise I’ll take better notes later! For now here are my anecdotes.
I first started out wearing MX134 and 135 at home and I did notice that both had good “self-effects.” I would say that the first real hit I got was when I visited some relatives at few days after receiving my order. My 18 year-old cousin is normally very challenging–she has some emotional problems, has recently taken time off from college because of poor grades, and is generally very rude to her family. Her mother is totally harried and busy with work yet this girl sits at home without a job and whines. While I was there I suggested that she (my cousin) and I clean the kitchen. At first she resisted, but then she actually started cleaning! A little while later some of her friends arrived and she got a distracted. So I walked up to her and asked her if she would clean off the filthy stove top before she went to hang out with her friends. She said “OK” and did it!!! I could not believe it. Trust me, she is NEVER that compliant, especially not with me. Usually she curses at me and refuses to listen to me. Truly shocking. I think I was wearing 3 sprays of the to-go size MX134.
I didn’t use pheros too much while I was staying with the relatives–just a little here and there to figure out how they affected me and the people at the grocery store. Everyone was into the smell of MX135. The day that I left to go to the airport I wore 2 sprays each of MX134 and MX135 (to-go size). My cousin volunteered to give me a ride to the train station where I was going to catch a train to the airport. On the way to the train station, she kept insisting on driving me all the way to the airport. I told her thanks, but the train is actually faster and I’m already running late. But she would not let it drop. It was crazy; she was practically begging me to let her drive me to the airport. At the train station she unloaded my bags and brought them all the way up to the platform for me. She went as far as to step OVER THE TURNSTILE WITHOUT PAYING (and risk getting in trouble for fare evasion) just to take my bags up to where the train got into the station. I was actually a little annoyed by that point, as in: ok for chrissakes I can carry my own bags from here, calm down and go home!
The rest of the day people were similarly helpful to me. People made friends with me everywhere I went and bent over backwards to help me and talk to me. Keep in mind that I had two VERY heavy suitcases with me. I ended up taking a long subway ride with several transfers before I got to my destination of a friend’s house. Now, if you are not familiar with the NYC subway system let me tell you that there are very few elevators or escalators–it’s mostly lots of staircases. But wouldn’t you know, I barely had to carry my own luggage! Several different times men and women swept in to carry one of my bags for me. No one said “Do you need help?” they just stepped in and picked up my heavy suitcase. On one occasion, I didn’t even see the dude there behind me, I just noticed that all of a sudden someone was picking up the bag from behind me and carrying it up the steep staircase! When at one point I asked a woman for directions, she proceeded to walk me where I needed to go, then talked my ear off for ten minutes! On the train, I noticed several men checking me out including one guy who kept glancing over his shoulder at me and I swear I could see him sniffing in my direction.
Ok, contrast that with the next day. As I mentioned, I stayed at a friend’s house that night. In the morning I was too self-conscious to put on my pheros and wait for them to drydown in her tiny apartment. So I took a long subway ride home with my two heavy suitcases without any pheros. Let’s just say that I wished I had worn them! Crowds of people passed me while I struggled with my luggage and no one offered to help. When I had almost gotten home at long last a man offered to help me. He saw me moving my two suitcases and said “Do you need help with that?” I said that is was ok and I could handle it. (I always refuse help out of politeness.) He wavered a little bit but then eventually did help me carry some stuff. But notice that this man had to ask me if I wanted help, and then did not seem very committed to helping me, whereas the previous night several people helped me enthusiastically without even asking me first if I wanted help. I only realized all of this when I got home completely exhausted and realized how much easier it was the night before. That’s when I thought, hmmm maybe these pheromones really do work…
Since then, I have had a job interview and a party that both went really really well. I wore just a little bit of 135 and 134 to both of those. At the interview, one of my interviewers seemed to be taking his lead from me. At some point in our conversation he ran out of questions and was just staring at me very intensely. I sat there waiting for him to tell me the interview was over, then I finally just said “well thank you for taking the time to interview me.” HAHA Later that same night I went to a party where I felt very much the center of attention and made a lot of contacts. It seemed like everyone I met that night had an opportunity they wanted to share with me or an event they wanted to invite me to.
Recently I have also incorporated P74 into my mix, especially in social situations. (I’ve had issues with not feeling cool enough in the past.) Most people who know me would describe me as somewhat anxious and awkward, but in friend situations with P74, 135, and 134, people keep telling me how cool I am. In just the last day, two people separately described me as being “totally chill” and having “really good energy.” Both people were VERY emphatic when they told me these things. It’s crazy! I am many things, but “chill” has never been one of them.
OK that’s it for now. I’ll post more when I have more!
