Application: Approx. 9am. 2 drops of A314 split between wrist and jawline. Remaining remnants of a togo instant shine (approx. 1-2 sprays) to the hair.
Self-effects: Ate second breakfast before heading out the door, and while I was eating my cereal I found myself laughing out loud as I reminisced about how I loved to read captain underpants as a child (lol). That had to be the shine. I also got that burst of confidence and erect posture again, but not quite as noticeably as yesterday. Perhaps because I was looking for it.
Results: I had my first session of my biology lab today, and I decided to take the shuttle to school to see if being in a closed space with people made any difference. I did not notice anything either time.
The door was locked to the lab when I got there, and there were people standing outside. I started to read because there were still about 20 minutes before lab. When I took a pause from my reading, I noticed a girl staring directly at me. She turned her head as soon as I looked at her and smiled. After we entered the room, she seemed like she might have followed me to my seat, but it was probably just coincidence.
Things got a little bit more interesting once the room filled up and lab got started. Today was just the introduction, so we were all just sitting and listening to the TAs, but usually we will be moving around a bit more. During the course of the 40 minute lecture I caught three girls staring directly at me and quickly looking away. One of them was the most attractive girl in the class, who unfortunately came in late and sat on the opposite side of the room. Another was directly across from me at the lab table, so it will be interesting to see how she is affected throughout the semester. Other than the looks, there was no further interaction.
I am still far from coming out of my shell, but I do think pheromones will help me. After class, I went to get a new student ID, and found myself having conversations with multiple people in the room. Granted, the guy I talked to most was trying to be friendly, because he was representing a new bank on campus and giving away student IDs is there little promotion, but it is very rare that I make that much conversation and joke around with strangers. I have noticed that it is much easier for me to talk to, and joke around with, other dudes while wearing a314 and shine. That is something I can appreciate because like I said in my introductory post I would like to make more friends. I still need a lot of work with talking to females, though. When I noticed those girls staring at me I got a little overly excited, and then anxious about whether I should try to talk to them and how I should do it. In the end this doesn’t matter though, because I am happily taken in a long term relationship, but I would like to feel comfortable around all people and not just guys.
The last thing I want to mention is that it seemed like everything wore off pretty quickly. The self effects definitely only lasted about two hours, which is expected because I have read that they don’t last as long. But after I left campus and ran some errands, I didn’t notice anything at all from other people. It is possible that I am now hyper-aware because of the amount of “hits” I got in class in such a short period of time. I am doing my best to make my expectations as low as possible while still remaining aware of possible unusual behavior, but it is kind of difficult since I can already see how powerful this stuff is!
EDIT: I am also going to start adding whether or not I exercised before or after I applied mones.
Exercise: 30 minute bike ride and light calisthenics approx. 1.5 hours before application.
It definitely helps facilitate social opportunities that maybe I wasn’t picking up on before applications. Im Looking forward 2 reading about your future successes.
