I got my ammo, instant shine, and instant gent today! Im pretty special because it came with a personal note, a sample of instant openness 2x, and most importantly a piece of chocolate. Id prefer a diet of candy only if it wouldnt kill me. Howd they know? This week is hot though, and i sweat, so i dont know if im going to get good results anytime soon.
Ive had a friends instant openness 1x and have tried it several times. I dont feel like ive tested it enough, but currently i just dont think this product works. Im in college in southern california. I havent been doing much with life, and my social skills are at its lowest point. Here are the three most recent experiences:
Class at 2 in the afternoon. Weather has been dry and windy. Its about mid-70s. 2.5 sprays, always on the wrists and then split and rubbed on the neck pulse points, behind ears, and back of the neck. I go into an air-conditioned computer lab, so its not too hot in there. There are like five people around me and theyre all 3-5 feet away. I dont know anyone in the lab. After about 10 minutes the dude next to me talks to me. Using my sherlock holming missiles, i had gathered that he was tall and white, a freshman, and rushing a fraternity. He looks at my car keys next to my keyboard and asks me if those are mine and if i have X type of car. I respond “Yeah, why?” And he said that he had the exact same keychain, car, and albertsons savings tag. We talk for a few minutes more, but its pure fluff. We didnt exchange names or say cya after class. I dont think his approach was due to pheros. If id wanted the conversation to continue, id have had to talk about something; the guy didnt just keep talking.
At 4pm, Im in a class with two friends, an Asian guy and girl. Im pretty good friends with the guy, but i only know the girl through him, and i dont talk to her much. The chick likes to talk, but i didnt speak to her more than usual. I catch up with the dude until class starts. I dont feel like the conversation is anymore different than usual.
An evening out with my friends. Its a warm, dry evening. We meet up at my friends house. Hes asian and usually somewhat alpha in whatever group hes with. The other person is an asian girl. 3 sprays. The conversations are good and more up-tempo than usual, but we were catching up after over a month. Still, i dont see the effect of anyone talking unstoppable-ly. I thought alpha-nol worked especially well on girls, but i dont think openness got much of a response out of her, and shes not particularly quiet or anything. The guy is always very talkative and sometimes he unknowingly cuts people off when they are still going with a story. Not that its supposed to, but openness doesnt increase how much others are interested in what those around them say.
WTF its hot! 80s. Still a little windy. 4x spray this time! I didnt sweat that much today, but the results were pretty bad. In one very crowded class, no one opened to me except for this one guy, who talks a lot about nothing important. If i were to just say “that guy in class” to someone who sits near the front, im sure theyd know who i was talking about. Then, an anti-hit! I asked this white dude sitting next to me about something the professor said. He didnt even look at me. He waits a moment, and then gives me the shortest answer possible.
I see two girls that I know and we talk outside in the shade. Again, I dont see an increase in talkativeness.
I was in proximity of others all day at different places and nothing happened, but I leave them out because i didnt think they were situations that should have been fruitful anyway.
In summary, i didnt have significant hits of strangers initiating with me, but many other people say that openness doesnt do that for them. The biggest bummer was that during conversations, whether it was with friends, acquaintances, or strangers, i really didnt sense much boost in talkativeness.
I dont have much to say about self effects, because i tried to ignore them and just focus on the outward effects for now. I do feel like i was generally talkative and memory and creativity were good during conversations. But it seriously was nothing definitive. It was not even par with my social skills during their peak in my freshman year. Also, it may have just been how i was feeling and the placebo of having openness on.
Are my dosages considered too low? Is there something else I could try? Maybe I should just take androtics’ sample of openness 2x and crack it open above my head.
Try spraying two in the middle of your neck and one on one of your wrists then gently tap both of your wrists together so you can add some to the other wrist. Or two in the middle of your neck and a spray on each of your wrists while letting the sprays dry by themselves (no rubbing.) Don’t rub, as I feel that rubbing might make the stuff in the products diminish or something. I’m not saying that they do, but I prefer to gently tap or GENTLY glide things on in one direction than rub things in.
Both can be good, the heat from the pulse points on your wrists add to diffusion of the pheromones into the surrounding air. Spraying on the hair can also work if you have longish hair, as your head moves, the pheros are ‘thrown’ and diffuse that way.
Northern Sweden, this time of year, pretty cold, I would try increasing the amount you spray. There’s a fellow swede on her, Xiphoid, who has had some spectacular results with spraying Instant Honest to the hair, find her thread on what not to do at work!
keep in mind
even with pheros people are reading social cues.
your approachability does play a factor, and if gab is not well reieved (percievably) or returned, they will be gabby elsewhere.
i wear similar mixes and sometimes i can see the room becomming gabbier, but not necessarily with me !
