What’s up guys! I’m a 21 year old male from San Jose looking to experiment with [pheromones](https://a314.com/). I first heard about pheromones and their effects through a classmate’s presentation in a Human Sexuality class but I’ve never got the chance to put it to the test. But now that the (now ex) girlfriend is out of the picture, I figured its now or never. 🆒 I would describe my personality as laid-back with a dash of the initial shyness when talking to new people. From what people tell me, I am the epitome of a “nice guy”. You know, the guy who is always there for you, the guy who goes out of his way to give you a ride home etc etc. I’m sure we all have one of “those guys/girls” in our immediate group of friends, and unfortunately, I’m one of them. It’s great being the nice guy and all, but when it comes to women, the nice guys finish last. 😕 I guess overall I just want to avoid being the “nice guy” on my weekend outings to the bars/clubs. I’ve read that AMMO has worked well for many people in junction with IO or IH. Any other suggestions? I look forward to be placing my first order (probably AMMO and something else) very soon! ---

Welcome! [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) + IS is a favorite combo. You’ll see nice hits with them. To avoid being the nice guy, give IJ a try. Good luck! ---

I recommend AMMO + IS. It should help you appear sexier and more charming and charismatic. If you have someone you want to be close to, add IH. If you just want to have fun time meeting people, IO should do the trick. CTTM2 is also good. Do you want to be respected and thought of as COOL? Try IG. If you want to be respected as a leader and great, you can try A314. It seems like you want to pick up girls at clubs. You should get AMMO + IS for sure. Also, TUTH and IH, when you bring a girl back! ---

Welcome to PheroTalk, ihasacookie! I too sometimes suffer from the “nice guy” problem. I am initially polite and a little shy, and the fact that I have a rounder, younger looking face than a lot of my peers doesn’t help. Jaycee and CoolKat have given a lot of great suggestions. I would especially like to tell you to give [Instant Jerk](https://a314.com/product/instant-jerk/) a shot. It has definitely shown results for me in the past, and almost completely eliminated the “nice guy” vibe when I use it. ---

Thanks for the replies! Looks like ammo + IShine + IJ are gonna be my first purchases from the site. I look forward to posting my results! Quick question: Does the type of skin affect the [pheromone](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/)’s effectiveness? (oily, dry, hairy etc?) ---

> [@ihasacookie](#): > > Quick question: Does the type of skin affect the pheromone’s effectiveness? (oily, dry, hairy etc?) It can. And if you perspire heavily, you may need to reapply more frequently. ---

So how do I know if I qualified for the GC? Not seeing anything in the email/spam box ☹ Kinda anxious to put in my order 🙂 ---

Welcome to Pherotalk Ihasacookie! I was gonna say the same thing that Vespero said that you should give IJ a try and see if it works for you. I think it would do wonders. Let me just clarify something I think is being said that is not necessarily true. Women love nice guys although there are some women just like men who take advantage but you just have to let a women know you are a pushover. In life it’s hard to meet someone who won’t take advantage of even if they can. Finding that is like finding a diamond in the street. I want you to remain nice, know who you are but don’t let people walk all over you because they will. Things will work out. Your gc was issued. 🙂
