Hi,
like all others in the introductions section, I want to just say hello and by the way get the 25$ ![]()
General things about me
I’m Chris, 27 years old, living in Germany. My english is not that good, I hope you can follow me anyways. I’m a very shy, introverted, quiet and average looking guy. I think of me as a talented, creative graphics designer, 3d artist and IT-Pro. I’m the owner of a small but successfull film production company. It is quite possible, that you have seen some of my work in television. I like being around people and go out often, but always lacked social skills.
Prologue
Last year, I had a chronic problem falling asleep. After 4 days without sleep I decided to seek professional help. After long days of extensive testing with polysomnographies, thousands of questions, MRIs, etc my doc came up with a diagnose: I have a sleep disorder - who would have guessed ![]()
But from these examinations I learned much about me. E.g.: “You have a metabolism models would kill for”. Also, my body does produce hormones such as testosterone etc only in small and insufficient quantities (missing melatonin and some others were responsible for my sleeping issue). My doc described it like that: “You have hormone levels like a 16 year old pregnant girl, who is stressed like a CEO of a multi-billion dollar company.” (wtf) I am now treated for my low hormone levels and know after 26 years how being tired feels like…
How my brain works
An IQ-Test showed that I am really intelligent (132) but my EI (Emotional intelligence) was worse than the most socially unskilled persons. The reason for this may be, that parts of my brain didn’t get enough oxygen when I had the umbilical cord around my throat at my birth. Luckily, the human brain has ways to compensate many deficiencies. My brain simply replaced the lack of empathy with logic. I’ll explain by example: When I look at a face, I just see an object like a car. When the car signals, the driver wants to turn. When the corners of a mouth pull up it is likely that the person smiles. Unlike most people I can’t perceive emotions intuitively and naturally without actually thinking. As gestures and facial expressions can be very subtle, there is much room for wrong interpretation by me, which often leads to misunderstandings and wrong reactions.
Complications in communication
Have you ever told a story to children? They tend to mimic every expression of your face. This is also true with me. After 27 years I have to constantly monitor myself not to mimic my fellow being, as this makes me look like a moron. A simple conversation such as small talk can be quite demanding for me. Interpreting the bodylanguage, facial expressions, monitoring and controling own social signals and by the way getting the content of the conversation is no easy task for me. Nevertheless I really like deep discussions and don’t hide from them…
My social life
I think I have a working social life. With a few friends I’m really close, also I have a few lady-friends. At my birthday party this month about 50 people I have contact on a more or less regular basis came. Nevertheless with most of them I have the feeling they don’t take me for real and are only around me because I’m generous or pity me because I’m different. Only my closest friends know about my condition, but it’s quite obvious that I’m a bit strange. Most people with a similar brain condition tend to have no social life at all so I’m pretty happy with what I have.
My last long-term relationship was 7 years ago. Few women notice me and my approaches seldom lead to a relationship (but often to friends), so there were only a few women I got lucky with, who thought my awkwardly clumsy behavior was sexy. But it never lasted long.
How I got here
To ease my social interactions my doc gave me some experimental medicine with oxytocin in it. The effect was an instant buildup of self-confidence and really helped me cope with all kinds of conversations without constantly thinking about how I and my counterpart behave instead of the content itself. I’m not the kind of guy who takes meds for every slight pain, but I thought there may be some other substances out there, that could really help me in social situations. I found “Liquid Trust”, that also has oxytocin in it, which is a hormone not a pheromone. I found that 90% of the products on the market must be scam, like most lifestyle products. Claims like “our love potion gets you in bed with every woman you desire” are simply bulls**t and btw illegal in my country. I found only little scientific evidence that mones do work. Finally I ended up on the Androtics site and this forum, where I found much helpful information. But actually the negative comments under the products were the ignition spark to give it a try. I am still sceptical about the effects of mones, but it will be quite trivial for me to evaluate the claims. There is also a moral aspect involved, that I have to think about more (if it works). I’m not looking for a miracle here, but everything that helps a little is good enough.
So what to get?
I think it’s quite obvious, that I could use the whole palette of products by Androtics. To first test it out I wanted to buy these:
maybe AMMUNITION
maybe Instant Shine
Instant Openness
Turn Up The Heat
maybe Instant Honesty - I think I have too many secrets to risk it
Instant Gentleman
Come talk to me would have been my first pick, but it seems to be in development and I have bad experiences with beta versions ![]()
Unfortunately the shop seems to only accept credit cards. A paypal option would have been great. Now I have a new credit card on the way so this leaves you a few days to drop a few lines about my selection. Any other recommendations are welcome.
Thanks!
