Hey guys, I just signed up for this forum because it seems worthwhile being able to reply to posts 🙂 I’m from Amsterdam in The Netherlands and i’m mostly interested in [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) for social uses. I’d like it to be easier to start a conversation with somebody in different situations. From what i read in the forum stickes i think Come Talk to Me Mix 2 seems to be the way to go. Any other suggestions? Btw, i signed up for the website [smartmones.com](http://smartmones.com) and i think it’s supposed to give me 500 reward points, but they are not showing up in my account. Anybody knows what happened? ---

Hi jdegroot! Welcome to the forum. It will be helpful also to state your age, kind of personality you have, what you expect the pheromones to do for you. In telling us that it will be even easier to give you good recommendations, and you will also qualify for the GC worth $15 which will help you in your first order. Instant Shine, Instant Gentleman are also good [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/). CTTM 2 is also a good choice that you made there. Within 48 hours of signing up normally you get the GC after a good intro here. In regards to the 500 reward points one of the moderators will be able to explain better soon. If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask the lively forum. We hope to hear of your experiences once you receive your products. Cheers! 🙂 Kusro. ---

Thanks Kusro, I’m 24 years old. Sometimes i can feel slightly uncomfortable in situations with many people i dont know, but it really depends on the moment and situation. When that happens i find it sometimes difficult to approach people, so i’d rather be approached, or at least get a good indication that people actually want me to talk to them 🙂 In 1 on 1 situations, in almost any context, i dont have any issues, and i have no difficulty having a good conversation with or entertaining almost anybody. It’s just when i’m in larger groups of people i’m unfamiliar with. So what i hope to achieve is to get better noticed (not from a sexual perspective, but from a social one) and that people make me feel more welcome 🙂 So that it’s easier to start a nice conversation 🙂 Does that give you the necessary info? ---

Welcome Jderoot! I have never tried cttm 2, but it seems that most members like it well. The social product that I love is instant openness. THis is truely great in getting people to relax and talk a lot more! Instant shine is also a well-liked social product. You might want to try this also since it put everyone in better mood. As for the reward points, there is sometimes a bug and they dont show up for awhile. You can sent a pm to steveo and he will fix it when he got a few minutes ---

Welcome to the forum. IG is a strong possibility for you. It may give you some additional “grace” in group settings. ---

Welcome! I’m assuming you’re a guy since your first thought was CTTM (even though women can absolutely benefit from this mix; more of the men seem to use it) but just in case, can you tip us off as to whether you’re male or female? Thanks! 🙂 ---

I read that CTTM2 is a 50/50 mix of instant openness and instant honesty. So can the same results be obtained by it? 🙂 (Is it a better starter than buying those products seperately) ---

Almost–it’s actually a 50/50 mix of the active ingredients in IO and IH–which are Alpha -nol and Beta -nol respectively. Both IO and IH actually have both, as well. The breakdown is about: IO= 70% Alpha, 30% Beta IH= 70% Beta, 30% Alpha CTTM= 50% Alpha, 50% Beta Alpha promotes chattiness and an uplifting mood. Beta promotes depth of conversation. As Michael put it, IO=quantity of conversation; IH=quality of conversation. ---

Hello Welcome to the forum 🙂 Great advice from everyone above. You should have automatically gotten your 500 points on sign up. ☹ Try this log out of smartmones, clear your cache and log back in. If that dosnt work send a email to [aprshipping@gmail.com](mailto:aprshipping@gmail.com) In the title write “Didnt Receive Sign up bonus” and inside give them your smartmones username. SteveO will be in tomorrow morning and he will fix you right up. 😉 😃 **Your GC will be in your email box in the next 24 to 48 hours** 😃 You can use this time to read up on the products and decide what you want to try. If you have any questions just let us know. Tisha ---

[quote=“LaurieNY, post:10, topic:8847”] IO= 70% Alpha, 30% Beta IH= 70% Beta, 30% Alpha CTTM= 50% Alpha, 50% Beta [quote] Thanks Laurie, for your helpful information. So one spray of IO and IH gives exactly the same result as 2 sprays of CTTM2? 🙂 (Would contain the exact same amount of active ingredients) Or are there more different active ingredients involved? ---

You’re welcome, sweetie, but that sounds like a Jasmin question–I wasn’t good enough in chemistry to know if those are actually equivalent. 😉
