Greetings from ATL

Introductions - New Users, Say "Hello"!
1

I’m a 34-year-old male from Atlanta. I actually stumbled upon this site by accident, was instantly intrigued, and after browsing around for a couple of hours I ordered some AMMO, IS, TUTH, and also got a free sample of IO, which was a pleasant surprise. I’ve already gotten some great results with IO. For instance, yesterday while waiting in line at Starbucks I noticed two young couples just staring at me. In the past, I would’ve been self-conscious and thought there was something hanging out of my nose, but instead I was cool as a cucumber. I could tell by their eyes that they were looking at me with some sort of… admiration. Then, while sitting down waiting for my beverage to be made, instead of calling out my drink like he did for everybody else, the barista actually walked around the counter and brought the drink right to my table. Balls.

What I’m ultimately looking for is something to enhance my natural personality. I’ve tried on many social masks, and I’ve come to accept the fact that I’m introverted, aloof, don’t like to talk much, and I’m rather cold and distant with people until I get to know them well. I’ve tried before to be more extroverted, but it just never worked; it’s not me. I’m a brooder, more like Jim Morrison or James Dean than Cary Grant or James Bond. It’s funny, but I’ve actually had the most success with people (especially women) when I don’t talk or smile much. My theory is that whatever comes naturally for you is what people will find attractive.

With that said, do you think I’d get much benefit from IG or A314? I’m really not looking to be a trustworthy or respectful gentleman! I’m thinking of trying IJ to enhance my inner bastard, and IH because I like meaningful conversations and despise small talk.

Anyway, this is fun!

Hi there Raindog! Welcome to the pherotalk! Stumbling about, are we? Looking about the forum, eh? :wink:

That’s great that you read up some about the mones, likely reading a journal or two then making your choices. I agree with you on the natural tendencies that we all have… it is much easier for you to be at ease and comfortable and others will find comfort in that vibe that you put out. Now, I think that A314/b would be good for you to try out. It will underline the Respect Me Now vibe that your Jim Morrison could carry… though it would be softer if you layered with Instant Shine…

Did you try AMMO by itself? When I wear it, I can be soft, serious and introverted with a confident manner about me.
Whatever mone you choose, remember that YOU are ultimately steering its use. It’s a tool in your social arsenal that you can use more to your advantage as long as you know how to use it…

I think I read mobocaster, a user here, when asked what mone is better… he asked in return, what is better a hammer or a screwdriver? I think that gets the point across that you decide which mones to use, though, you can use a screwdriver as a hammer and may have success putting in that nail, it would be far easier to use a hammer… and even easier if you knew how to use a hammer WELL!

Yes, meaningful convo’s, non vacuous, IH is a good mone to produce those results!!!

Let us know if you unleash your inner bastard… so we can take cover!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey 1Alpha, thanks for the good words. Yep, I’m stumbling about, which I tend to do a lot of, even when sober!

I was actually going to cite Johnny Depp as an example of somebody with a similar personality type as mine. (I’m INFJ, by the way.) I use Johnny as inspiration when I’m feeling insecure because I’m not the outgoing, macho, slick charmer with the ear-to-ear grin type of guy. Johnny is shy, mostly kind and gentle but with the occasional outburst of “hillbilly rage,” as he calls it. Reminds me of me. (He’s a little sweeter than I am though.) I’m fascinated with guys who have that similar personality: Morrison, Jimmy Dean, Lord Byron, Al Pacino. All the dating “experts” I read when I was younger would always say that basically you have to be outgoing, loud, the class clown, obnoxious, super-masculine, etc., so it’s good to know that those with a similar personality as me can be plenty successful also. It’s taken me a while to unlearn all that crap though. It reminds me of what Thomas Merton said: “I am finally coming to the realization that my greatest ambition is to be what I already am.”

I did use Ammo this evening when I went out briefly, and all I noticed was some dude who gave me a dirty look, and the cashier chick who seemed frightened of me. In other words, just like most days! I was in a pissy mood already though.

It was suggested to me to use Depp as an avatar by Astrea as she knows I’m into looking the alpha part… soft or rugged, but always in control.

Though as you say, being in a pissy mood doesn’t get you interest from others… don’t matter HOW many mones you put on. You’ll need to accept and respect yourself in order to have meaningful relations with others. We have all learned ‘crap’ that we have to unlearn. The hard part is identifying the crap. Then, the even Harder part is trying to get that sh#t out of our thought processes!!!

On my sig below, read up on how to notice hits… so you can better react to others interactions…

I also like this thread to help out in ‘reading’ IOI’s from women…

Hey there raindog and welcome to the forum. So many of us community members just happen to stumble onto the forum its quite remarkable. When I first joined I chanced to uncover PheroTalk by joining another forum. LOL, they kept talking about “that other company” which admittedly had me quite curious. When I did a search I found it and my life has forever been changed since.

I was reading your introduction and really to be able to answer your questions about IG and A314 I have some questions of my own for you. You mention that you are looking to enhance your natural personality and I can tell you will enjoy the community very well. You see, pheromones are only a mere tool in the arsenal of life. If you act the fool while wearing something like IG all the while you are disrespectful and dishonest with those around you, others will have this fleeting feeling that for some reason or another they thought you were gentlemanly. However they will also realize just how wrong they were. What I’m getting at is mones will not change who you are, they will only enhance your personality, just like you are looking to do, all the while presenting you with opportunities. At that stage whether you take advantage of the opportunities is your path to choose.

You mentioned IJ, which is a product I enjoy immensely. It doesn’t change my personality, rather for that matter, it gently enhances it. What it does is allow me, a nice guy with exceptional social seduction skills, to continue to be nice, but am perceived with a bad-boy side lurking just under the surface. It fits in neatly with who I am. However if I was the manipulative guy simply doing nice things so that I might get me some pink and squishy, buying drinks, being the shoulder to cry on, always orbiting, no boundaries then the more IJ I would wear the more transparent my manipulation would be. There’s a huge difference in being a nice guy and doing things because you want to and doing things to get something out of it. I do nice things because I like the make people happy. That’s my reward and I find happiness in the smile of a woman. Knowing what I want out of life and having a sense of well being, a strong personal reality that I create I also do not allow myself to be taken advantage of. I am not doing nice things to get something out of it except mutual respect and appreciation, ergo the capability to walk away and move on when it is not given.

Ultimately this leads me back to questions about IG and A314. Before selecting a product you must first ask yourself what you are looking to accomplish. A314 has its place along the lines of quiet ALPHA male confidence. The dominant ALPHA male who does not need to boast of his accolades, it is what it is and he is respected and appreciated for just being. His confidence is his calling card. While IG is a warmer, more charismatic version of the same. Both can be worn with great success by those who know what they want.

In that respect IG is an exceptional example of enhancing personality. A disproportionate number of community members write of congruency, but I believe this to be a misleading doctrine in many regards. It is my perception that one must be at ease with themselves, confident with who they are to allow themselves all the opportunities pheromones, as a tool, will present. The advantageous will seek out everything to be successful and so they shall be. You might read reports by younger men who successfully use IG to appear older and more wiser than their years. While on the other hand the older more distinguished members successfully use IG to appear sensibly wise but vibrant and young. Interesting how one product can work either way for young and old alike!

With the correct mindset of knowing what you seek (quiet confidence) you will always find success.

Good luck in whatever direction you choose.

Thanks guys for the advice. It sounds like the best way is to just try them all!

I’m gonna go with A314 /b next like 1Alpha suggested. I thought I read somewhere that it wasn’t recommended for newcomers, but what the hell. Steve, your description of it makes it sound like exactly what I’m looking for, so I’ll probably just use that, establish a baseline, and eventually layer some others on top of it. Sounds like a damn fine plan.
