My name is Laura, and I’m a 20 year old female from Western New York. I’m in my junior year of college, majoring in English. However, I’m definitely a closet scientist. I love biology and genetics, and getting into the nitty-gritty of what makes us the way we are.
Before today—actually just a couple of hours ago—I really hadn’t given two seconds’ thought to pheromones. A new lingerie shop moved in downtown, and when I checked it out this morning, I fell in love with their “pheromone lotion”. Sounded like a gimmick to me, but I bought it because I loved the scent. Plus, it makes me sparkle like an exotic dancer! …Or a sparkly vampire. (Reconstituted Andronone is the only thing on the list of ingredients that sounds even remotely like a pheromone.) However, the pheromone concept did strike a chord of interest, so I began doing a bit of online research into the subject.
Well, I’ve been sitting here for hours, hunched over my keyboard. Most of my searches have brought me to this forum, which is the main reason I am here now, introducing myself. I’ve been at my computer for a while, but still I feel that my knowledge on the subject of pheromones is close to zero. Needless to say, though, I am fascinated. I feel that a whole world of possibilities has just opened itself to me, and I will likely spend the next couple of hours looking through these threads. (Instead of doing homework. …Oops.)
For years, I’ve been known as “the quiet girl”. I’ve always been more of a silent analyzer than a speaker. When I’m around close friends, I’m loud, rambunctious and open. But when I’m with strangers I tend to be more of a shy listener. I would love to test out some pheromones, and see if there isn’t a way for me to mix the two halves, and allow myself to be open in any situation I encounter. Also, not surprisingly, I have horrible anxiety when it comes to public speaking. Are there pheromones that have a calming effect that might help me with this?
Thirdly, I am completely comfortable in my skin. I don’t wear any makeup, ever, and guys seem to like that. But let’s face it, we ladies are always looking for a little extra oomph when it comes to attracting the, um, unfairer(?) sex. So, I’m also quite interested in that area of pheromone research. (It is what brought me here in the first place, with my shimmering pheromone body lotion, after all…)
Those are my main interests, but I’m looking forward to experimenting with all sorts of pheromones. I’m excited to be here!
Sorry this is so long-winded… I’m a writer. Hehe:o
