Called Chicago IL! Hello Everybody! Fun fact! I’m not much of a talker in person, but I’m quite skilled at the dreaded “massive wall of text!” so either sit back and relax, or drop down a paragraph or two, you wont miss much. 🙂 **This is my story!** This is the first day that I have started to explore [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) at all really, other than hearsay promises of 24/7 sex from whomever I want, which led to my “accident.” Hoping for exactly the impossibly, I jumped all over the first product guaranteeing me “100% success!” and that I would have women pouncing at me every second with a simple spray. Well, I am sure you have all heard of it, and I am still hoping that I wasn’t robbed blind, but I purchased a bottle of **Pherlure** after a grand total of maybe 3 minutes of shopping around. Lesson learned against spontaneous, 2 AM mid homework ill advised purchases. So, to fast forward a bit, I am nearing 36 hours of no sleep in which I was supposed to research, outline, draft, and complete 25% of my history grade. Rather, I spent from this morning till now reading everything on the web about this stuff, mainly hoping to find out that everyone was kidding and Pherlure really is magic, and at this point, somewhere between a coma and solely Anderall induced consciousness, I half expect wierder things to happen. So again, hello! My name is Eddie, but any form of the name will do, Ed, Ned, Nedwin, Edwin, Edward, Edmund, Ed-tacular, Jeff, Robm etc., you get the idea. BUT my friends call me BigIrish. I’m 17 years old, I go to OPRF, the public high school in Oak Park, a little suburb a tad bit West of Chicago, IL that I call home. The real reason I am here isn’t really because I am that super cocky, arrogant, stereotype jock dude that feels the only way to prove I have more main points than j00 is to sleep larger number of girls than I can count to. On the contrary, as a Junior, this is my first year dealing with the Multi-racial cultural universe of 3,500 kids that they have dubbed “High School.” That may not seem large to some, and it was a little easier meeting people more like you from your home town, but consider this. 1st through 8th grade, I was in the same class with the same 4 people, every day, all day. Fresh and Soph year I was at a 900 person, shirt and tie, prim and proper, rich daddy country club catholic school, and that scared me shitless. It is a weird feeling rolling up to school on a 20 year old cruiser style bike when almost everyone else has a sports car. So, to avoid getting further off track, in light of figuring out for sure that pheromones (and I admit, to my minor sadness), are indeed notmagic and I wont get laid within 10 seconds of opening the package the first time, I have become very interested in them as something to experiment with. If what I have read about so far on these forums is true, which it seems to be, I am excited to find out if there is a little something here to boost/create confidence, maybe meet a few new people Wait…theres more! I can say that there are two things I do well enough to be proud of. I play Hockey as a Defensemen, the legendary #55, and I have since I was 3. Unfortunately, I am currently on injury reserve due to knee surgery to repair damage from a car accident, then me trying to pretend that I could play, and getting hurt again. Since as far back as I can remember, I have been off the ice no longer than 3 weeks, so I am currently living through hockey-related withdrawal of epic proportions as I am now in month 10 since the last time I have played hockey. Lucky me, next week I am back in the game. I am also quite computer savvy, and I plan to get a degree in information security as a Licensed Penetration Tester and Security Auditor for physical and electronic systems. In common terms, ‘White Hat’ Hacker (good guy), not ‘Black Hat’, those are the ones in terrible movies (_cough_Die Hard 4_cough_). If your still here, thats rad and you deserve an eCookie If you haven’t guessed, I am of the male persuasion. My most common word is most likely a form of radical, or the phrase f\*\*k yo couch. The word ‘couch’ has somehow also adapted to be usable in any situation, such as “Couch it!” rather than “shut up!.” I am not sure why, but I have been told it is my fault, so, rad I guess. I am 3rd generation Irish AND 20% german, my right foot is a half a size bigger than my left which makes hockey skates tough to find, I firmly support the 3 month wait between hair cuts rule in favor of awesomely…awesome hair, and at 5’9, 155 I may have the largest hands, yes,hands, you would encounter in your travels, bigger than my dad, who is 6’1" 285, at 13 years old. As soon as I come into more work, which in my case is refereeing youth hockey (BIG $$$ during the season), I really look forward to trying many of these things I am reading about. In the meantime, well see if all mighty Pherlure even gets interested glance. Look forward to meeting some people, if you read this your bound to know a lil sumthin about me.Hope I didnt scare anyone off, And don’t forget these important lessons. “Logic is simply a systematic procedure for coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence” “Anything in life is possible, except skiing through a revolving door” “Freedom is our most cherished gift, and you must be ready to guard it whenever necessary” Love em or hate em, agree or disagree, its your call! ---

Welcome Ed! Seems a lot of forum members started with pherlure and were quite happy to find this forum and the wqonderful products here. Sry to hear about your injury. I am an avid hockey fan and supporter, many of my close guy friends play professional and I know how an injury can be very painful for future endeavors. BUT there is certainly the opportunity to bounce back or at least stay close to the industry if you like, so I hope all works out. With regards to your phero desires I would definetly say that the socaials are right up your alley. Take a look at some instant Openness (brings out chatter), instant honesty (deep, meaningful conversations), and instant shine (this will give you the warm happy glow that others will find so inviting). Make sure to check out the stickies in the mens forum to give you some great info and to help you avoid newbie mistakes 🙂. Welcome once again! CC 🙂 ---

hah, you sound like me, but more athletic back in HS. Hell you’re probably smarter too. Since you’re young, I’d say start off with Instant Shine, Instant Honesty, Instant Openness or [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/). Keep in mind though, even while wearing pheromones, you’re still going to have to be outgoing enough to strike up a conversation or say hi or even a smile. You need to match your “pheromone signature” that you are producing. If you don’t fit the signature, it will confuse people and may produce results you don’t want. Pheromones will give you an edge, but they won’t make people magically flock to you and magically want to have sex with you. If you haven’t already, read through the stickies as there’s a huge amount of information in those posts. Instant Shine will give off a warm, friendly, youthful and happy feel. It has a great self effect as you may feel happier and more energetic or vibrant. Instant Honesty is great if you can get a conversation going as this can help keep the conversation going. Beware, you may find yourself saying things you didn’t want to say, so if you buy this, you may want to spray yourself with 2 or 3 sprays one day while you’re at home to get use to the self effect. Instant Openness can help start conversations. Same warning as honesty, you may find yourself chattier, which can be good. Instant Gentleman gives off a cool, mature vibe that can get you respect. Can give you a gentle alpha male vibe. Try getting ToGos of these products if you’re just testing and trying out pheromones. That being said, have some fun and see what happens. ---

Thank you for the advice, jumping in there are so many too see at once and they all do something different. [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) and Instant Shine sound like great starters, as soon as I get that Pherlure garbage I’ll see if they actually do have a money back guarantee, $50 could go a long way towards getting started. If there is one thing I will take to my grave, its that even though most of the time when a doctor says 6 weeks no skating you can fudge at 2, trying to skate that same weekend 2 days later was a bad idea, and I paid the price for it. But after a year without playing, I never realized just how much it meant, and I am going insane not playing, so I am going to make Senior year a hell of a season. And nothing like being on a varsity team for a confidence boost eh? Thanks again! Awesome I’ve found another hockey fan in 4 minutes 🙂 ---

Thank you too zeph! I totally get what you mean. After a lot of reading I understand that these aren’t exactly the “sex vacuums” that some claim to be, just a little push, like a jump start, anything to get the ball rolling or a thought process like “maybe its possible after all?” [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) sounds a lil dangerous haha, I’ll have to make sure that I purge my conscience before attempting that one. I’ll have to try gentlemen while at work some time, Referees get yelled at all the time, and sometimes a whistle just doesnt seem to do it Other than say Ammo and TUTH, are there any others to be ware of in school? I have two classes where theres 4 guys and 20 girls…seems like either a real nice chance or a setup for a slaughterhouse = /. If anything, a great place to start not being awkward 🆒 Question, because this is probably the only truly reliable source I have come across, does anyone have anyone positive to say about Pherlure other than it makes you smell purty? If its not worth it I just want to heave it back at them the moment I get it and not waste a second. Thanks! _“Anything in life is possible, except for skiing through a revolving door”_ ---

do you mean you ref hockey games for work? I’m not sure how well they would diffuse in a large cold environment, but I’d think it might not be the best place. I’d suggest that you stick with the socials for now. Turn up the heat and AMMO are -none based and at your age, you’re making a ton of it. If you insist on getting a product like that, get AMMO. Has the same -none per spray but is buffered really well. Don’t let the “Gentleman” part fool you. It gives you a “cool” vibe and its a great way to stand out. ---

Yes, I Ref youth hockey. I have found that if I at least make an attempt to look groomed instead of the “I woke up 30 seconds before I left” angry coaches both a)assumed I am anywhere from 21-23 (surprises me, 17?) b)after telling them once shut it, they obey like im their boss, but cold envirment sounds like a bad place. I do remember now reading that my age doesnt need ammo or tuth, although occasional overdive with a puff or two of ammo might be fun…🙄 ---

hi ed, welcome to the forum. for confidence in meeting people, instant shine is good as it can lift your mood and boost your confidence. other social phero like instant openness and instant honesty will be good as ice breaker in group conversation. people will want to talk to you. i was also a victim of pherlure. many reported it as a scam. have fun ---

Hi Ed, Welcome to the forum I was also a victim of pherlure. Actually many people reported pherlure as a scam. As a new user, I recommend you start with [social pheromone](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/) such as: Instant opennness – to act as ice-breaker, making girls want to talk to you. Instant Honesty – meaningful, deeper and more personal relationship with girls. You will be surprised what they tell you. Instatn Shine – to boost your confidence and lift the mood of yourself and the girls around you. Ammo is also very good as general and mild sexual attraction. You can start with to-go bottles to try out before buying the normal size bottle. Have fun ---

Hi Lucy! 😃 Welcome to the forum and thanks for that mighty long intro! As JB already pointed out most people aren’t very fond of Pherlure. However, there are some who reported hits with it - but they are seldom… So, I have the impression that you could use some [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/) to help you get to know some of the 3500 people there. I’d try a bottle of IO - it’s said to be some kind of ice breaker product, does make you more approachable and will make conversations easier. Instant Shine is always great because it let’s you and other’s around you feel great! And last but certainly not least I’d go for a little bottle of Ammo - it’s a great allround product, which enhances attraction as well as socialisation (but start slowly with this - too much could cause negative results like aggression). I wish you a lot of fun at the fourm! bb ---

Hello Welcome to Pherotalk 🙂 Sorry to hear you had a accident. Hope your recovery go’s great. I just had knee surgery a few months back and while you can walk right away getting back in top form is a bitch. I suggest the socials, Instant Shine and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) are great to start. I also suggest AMMO which is a good all round product and will create a bit of sexy attraction. It would be interesting to see how something like A314 would do in the hockey rink. You may want to give that a go later on. > [@](#): > > Penetration Testing Hmm interesting field LOL I am sure you get some fun comments on this career choice. 😮 ROFL sorry dirty old lady here, well not really old just older then you. 😃 **Your GC will be in your email box in the next 24 to 48 hours** 😃 Have fun we look forward to your participation 😉 Tisha ---

Thank’s tisha =). I was kinda 😮 when the first one disappeared. I took a while, wrote another less lengthy one, and then I it showed up, and I turned into 😠. But yes, hello and thanks for all the advice (everyone) and thank you for sending the coupon, I am anxious to get started (tax season = broke). [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) and Openness are definitely going to be some first tries. But there are so many! I cant wait to be able to try a Honesty Openness A314 and maybe even Shine combo 😃, but there is time. This may come to a shock, but believe it or not, the “haha you said a dirty sounding word!” jokes are quite common 😛. Saying I want to work on Penetration while reading a book called “Art of Intrusion” has led to some interesting looks and comments lol. Thanks! ---

TIsha, noted, thanks for catching that, I definitely spend way too much time trying to figure out why it wasnt working CC, Thanks for that, glad to know it does work.
