> [@ConstantVariable](#): > > Greetings, new friends. Having spent a considerable amount of time and effort on creating and maintaining niche communities of my own on the internet, I recognize a quality atmosphere when I see one. That said, I’m elated to find you guys here! I located this site by searching for the name of a product that I saw an advertisement for out of pure curiosity, and now I’ve found myself sucked into all of the discussions about these various products that you are experimenting with. I’m also impressed with the open atmosphere here, and it seems like a lot of the negative aspects of empowering people with anonymity on the internet are well under control by your stellar group of mods. Cheers on that! 😃 > > A little background information on myself-- I’m a male, 23 years young from Georgia, USA. I’d first heard about pheromones many years ago from the little ad that has been consistently running in the classified section at the very back of the Popular Science magazine for as long as I’ve been subscibing to it. I did a brief amount of research on them, but turned up little more than pseudoscience and overzealous sales pitches that immediately turned me off to the whole idea entirely. You can call me a skeptical but optimistic person, and that would be pretty accurate. > > But what I’ve seen here has gotten my interest, and I’d like to make my contribution to your collaborative efforts to learn more about this technology. I hope to offer an unbiased perspective of a somewhat reserved but overall likable young male who works in a professional environment and does enjoy social settings as well. I’m interested in testing some of the products you’re discussing to enable me to enhance my personal and professional life. I also have read the moderators cautionary introduction of not developing unreasonable expectations, and I can’t wait to share my results with you. > > Thanks for reading my introduction, and I look forward to getting to know you folks! :o > > -CV Yes, this is indeed a great example of what an Internet community should be like, and also a great place for sensible discussion of pheromones. Stick around and you will find people are very helpful; often it takes a bit of practise to learn to “drive” the [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/). Well, the car analogy might sound weird, but a lot of the learning curve that many people have to negotiate with wearing pheromones seems to me to be kind of learning some skills that are subconscious and hard to put into words. Professional and social products: A314 (oil) or Instant Gentleman (spray) are androstenone-based mixes that will enhance your perceived professional and social status if used correctly, Instant Shine may even be considered a good bet for the workplace depending on what line of work you are in: it gives off an air of confidence and vitality and has a mysteriously magnetic effect on some people - it draws them into your personal space. Umm… if you are reserved possibly try the IG over the A314 too, because the A314 will just make people leave you alone as it can give an “unapproachable” vibe. Attraction products: You may have read up on Ammo and TUTH already; the former is a cologne that is androstenone buffered with other pheromones androsterone and alpha-androstenol, and the latter is pure -none, and is possibly a bit direct and in-your-face for professional situations and even many social situations. As you are 23 years old maybe go with the Ammo as a safe bet. If you haven’t read it already: [Basic Noob Phero Bootcamp](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/basic-noob-phero-bootcamp/2159) and the other stickies in the men’s forum are excellent. --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/greetings/22450)._
