I’m a 29-year-old guy from the home of the Winter Olympics in 2010. I’ve been interested in personal transformation for just about as long as I can remember. It began with bodybuilding and experimenting with herbs and nutritional supplements. Then a long battle to overcome shyness and increase self-confidence (which included redefining my fashion sense). From there I moved on to self-hypnosis, subliminal suggestion, and NLP. Maybe [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) are just the next logical step! 😉 I’m looking for increased respect/status at work (not that I don’t already get that, but more is better) and break down the barriers that women put up so they will behave more like guys. By that I mean that guys look for a reason to say yes, and to act - whereas girls look for a reason to say no, and not to act. This puts men at a significant disadvantage and causes women to lose out on opportunities. I feel pheromones may be useful for helping people to pursue what it is they really want; to lose some of those inhibitions and negative attitudes that result in us denying happiness to ourselves and to others. Anyway, one of the reasons I’m here is to find out if I’m right. 🙂 I look forward to getting to know you all in the coming months - and to sharing stories. ---

Hi and welcome, and thanks for the great info! For increased respect/status at work, most definitely go with A314. And those male/female barriers can be overcome with the help of [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/), which adds depth and intimacy to conversations and allows people to open up more. Hope this helps! 🙂 Sillykitty ---

Hi friend, welcome to the community. You’re just like me, improving ourself, and AD is a good place to do so I think. From my reading, I like A314 would be great for your target at work place, I will get it as well for my next order next week. To make your self more attracive & approachable, I thing Instant Openess & [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) would be a great idea to have. I am not a guru here, as i mention, I am just newbie as you are! forgot to ask, could you tell us abit more about yourself? Are you outgoing? Shy? Talkative? socialable?.. ---

Hello and welcome! Your off to a good start coming here. For lowering the inhibitions of women I suggest IFM. It helps women to feel at ease around you. Besides that there is also A314, which others have suggested already. IShine is a great one also because it makes people happier around you and makes u happy too. IH is great for getting people to feel more comfortable around you and perhaps share their secrets and maybe trust you more. Would you say your more of a docile guy or more aggressive? Please let me know. I’m sure you’ll fit right in. 🙂 ---

Sillykitty and fantisto: Thanks for the advice. I’ve been doing a great deal of reading. There’s so much information here that it can be overwhelming. And soooo many products. It makes the advice and experience of people on this forum invaluable. Is there a significant difference between Instant Honesty and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/)? ---

Hi happykitsune From my research so far I’m leaning toward trying A314 + Instant Shine for work. I will definitely look into [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/). I wouldn’t say I’m docile OR aggressive. I’m told I’m calm and laid back. If someone is doing something wrong at work I’ll just page them and respectfully tell them what it is they’re doing wrong and what they need to do instead. I don’t get angry like some people. (That only creates resentment.) On my last evaluation the management described me as “firm but fair” with other employees. I would describe myself as someone who is in control of his actions and emotions. I find that people respect this. Where I’d really like to get more respect is from management - they can be a little arrogant. > [@happykitsune](#): > > Hello and welcome! > > Your off to a good start coming here. > > For lowering the inhibitions of women I suggest IFM.

fantisto As a kid I was PAINFULLY shy. I’ve progressed to the point where I can now stand up in front of a group of people and speak without any nervousness or self-consciousness whatsoever. But I’m not naturally outgoing. I tend to be quiet unless I “turn it on” and decide to be entertaining. (I have to be in the mood, though.) This is where [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) might help me out. It might bring out my playfulness. I’m into photography and would like to start doing portraits (I’ve recently put together a small photo studio). Like many artistic people I’m not a good salesman. People trust me when they get to know me, but building that initial trust does not come easily for me. (I’ve been told I can be a little intimidating - though I don’t try to be.) And I need to be able to convince models and would-be models to pose for me so I can build a portfolio for myself (and build or add to their portfolio). Do you or does anyone else here have any experience that relates to this? ---

Hello and welcome. A314 is kind of a double edged sword. It can be a little tricky to use. It will give you a heavy alpha leader vibe. It is not a friendly vibe - it is a strong leader do what I say vibe. It can create what I call respect distance. People will give you room. To offset that I use IH. IH creates feelings of connection and often deeper conversations as a result. A314 is not for everyone. [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) is another alternative. It will get you respect also, but slightly different. It gives off a cool, smooth dependable guy vibe. Peaceful male. I alternate between the two. IG, IShine and IH may be what you are looking for doing portraits. The subjects will more likely be upbeat, at ease and open up to you with this combination. I am thinking IG sounds more like you. There is a thread in my signature block that compares A314 and IG. Give it a read and see what you think. Feel free to ask any questions. ---

As you mentioned, A314+IS is great help for your workplace. IH: believed to make others think that you are the one they can trust and the one to share something in their mind. IO: believed to make you more approachable, other people surrounding you want to talk to you more. And reduce social space. ---

Thanks bosshank I don’t think I would have even considered [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) if not for your posts. I think it’s the name that puts people off a bit. If it was called “Instant Cool” everyone would want it. LOL I may hold off on the A314 for a bit and work initially with IG, Instant Shine and Instant Openness/Honesty. Of course everyone is different and it takes time to come up with the right blends in the right balance. One of the great things about this community is the fellowship of people who help guide you in the right direction. > [@bosshank](#): > > Hello and welcome. > > A314 is kind of a double edged sword.
