Hi all, I’m quite glad I found this forum and the associated shop, since they’ve given me the first clue that pheromones are something other than a scam 🙂. After wading through all the pages of hype and slimy salesmanship, it’s fascinating to find such a research-oriented community. Although my main interest is in improving my interaction with girls (or rather, their interaction with me…), I’m also fascinated by the potential of the social pheromone mixes. So, a bit about me. I’m from Ireland and I split my time between home and Eastern Europe, where I provide English language consulting services - teaching, proofreading, editing and maybe in the future translation. I generally don’t receive any unsolicited interest from women, and the idea of changing that is quite interesting, to say the least. I mean, I’d at least like to try it 🙂. I used to be quite socially anxious, and although I rarely feel any fear anymore in social interaction, it’s partly because I have a well-defined comfort zone which I don’t go outside of - mainly because I don’t receive interest. I know that pheromones won’t make me more outgoing (which I don’t want anyway), but the point is that when someone is interested in me, it encourages me to do the work necessary. So that’s the general kind of boost I’d be hoping for. The aims are looking for are increased pleasant social interaction in general, but also (need I say it?) increased sex opportunities. I can think of a lot of other applications. Some examples: My overstressed ex-girlfriend. My aim here would be to produce some calm in her mind - not just for my benefit (I’m not looking to seduce her), but for hers too. I guess IFM is the main ingredient I need here. Actually, in general, I think I might make certain kinds of woman uneasy (perhaps they can sense my repressed social anxiety… 🙂 ), so it would be interesting to try something like that… For social relations in general, I sometimes need a bit more chat from the other person - I’m not good at covering awkward pauses 🙂. I’m thinking of [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) in particular, but I wonder how this works on guys? That’s important too. Regarding dating, my idea of a night out with a girl doesn’t involve night clubs and dancing and crowds of -none fueled competitors, but rather pubs, cafes and talk. In work, I sometimes have a problem with a client that they need to speak more English to practice (I’m the teacher or advisor), but are nervous or uncomfortable about opening their mouth, usually in case they make a mistake (horror!). Part of my job here is actually psychological, and I think I do it well in general, but sometimes I could use a little help to make people feel more at ease about speaking in a foreign language (English). Now, as it happens, I tend to have more female clients than male, but ideally I need to affect both. And although some students are terribly attractive, I don’t think getting them sexually excited would be a good idea 🙂. Nor do I want to piss off the guys. Indeed, sometimes I teach couples… Another interesting factor is that if I’m approached by a random person who makes a comment, then it won’t be in English. I’m still learning the language, and although I can handle myself well and deal with most situations, chances are that trying not to sound like an idiot will hamper my wit. This is nothing that can be solved with pheromones, I guess, but I think it’ll be fun to see how it works out 🙂. So, that’s how it is. Since I’ll be paying for postage to Europe and since I earn in a currency with a lousy exchange rate into major currencies, it’s quite expensive, but I’ve heard enough from friends and from here to know it probably won’t be throwing money down the drain. I’ll be ordering a selection of things to make the postage worthwhile. I’m thinking of instant honesty & instant openness and ammo. Maybe TUTH, but only for experimental reasons. I like the idea of A314, but I can’t see much role for it in my life. I don’t really need to intimidate people that often 🙂. I look forward to hearing from you! --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/greetings/7980)._
