Hello. M/19/Virginia

Hey, my name is Troy, I’m from Virginia, and I’m 19, turning 20 in September. I have always been an extremely self-confident guy – always self-motivated. Day after day, in the past, I would set high goals for myself, so that when the inevitable downfall would happen I’d be ready to counter with resiliency. I used to thrive in moments of adversity.

To make a long story short: In 2008, I fell in love (young love) with a girl who I seriously thought I’d spend the rest of my life with (does that story sound familiar?:roll_eyes:). 2008 and 2009 became the two best years of my life (up to this point!). We were together till late December 2010, when for whatever reason she decided to leave me without explanation.

It’s been five months, and I’m in a funk. I feel like I’m not the ‘Alpha male’ that I simply once seemed to be. I have a deep voice that used to command a room seemingly effortlessly; I’m tall, broad-shouldered and have even been cracked at (jokingly) by friends in the past that I resemble Gerard Butler because of the similar rugged facial features.

Enough whining on my part, though (sorry about that)! I’m an absolute newbie with pheromones, I must admit. I’ve lurked the forums a few times over the past month or two, and I keep seeing “Instant Shine” come up in threads about people and their openness.

“So, what are you trying to do? What’s your goal with pheromones?” you’re probably wondering. Well, I’m not even sure how to explain. I want to attract others. Not just girls in an intimate, romantic way (although that is also a side-goal) but also in a way where I can once again be comfortable like the way I was (as mentioned above), if any of this makes any sense.

I’ve always been outgoing, but I feel like I’ve lost the ‘panache’ and the charisma that I used to carry within myself. I want to rekindle that.

So, I’m an absolute pheromone newbie and I’ve just comprised the most incoherent explanation on the forum. Save me now.:wink:

I’m looking forward to contributing more and learning more! I just need to be pushed in the right direction. Any recommendations on what I should look into?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

I’m thinking you should give IG a try. It has a warm masculine aura that is not threatening at all. panache and charisma both describe the vibe.

Hi and welcome, DopamineAddict. :smiley: Five month funk, huh? Well, first of all: don’t be down on yourself! 2 years is a long time - allow yourself to grieve. Yes, it is grieving. No need to apologise for whining - you didn’t (whine, that is).

You might want to get some Instant Shine just to wear for yourself. I wear (when I can) IO like this. At home just for me as well as part of the experiment. IS will help with people wanting to be near you, and giving you a personal ‘shine’. These are 2 upbeat social mones. Gone with the Wind has added a gender specific mone and the rest of the guys will appear sooner or later. Remember to start a journal - and read the journals of both genders if you like. I don’t think you could go wrong with those for starters.

Sup Troy, welcome to the forums.

As Astrea has recommended, look at IS and IO, those are two good products to get you being the life of the party.

You might want to consider getting ammunition too, as it has confidence and attraction boosting properties.

At your age, I’d recommend a good dosing of IS and IO along with ammo for overall general attraction and life of the party “action”

ps. I’m not sure if I should recommend this since you’re a new user and we generally don’t encourage new users to use putatives and mxes first (you should generally stick to the consumer line as they’re consistent and gives you a good gauge of how pheromones should work), but if you’re interested in going a little beyond and are thinking of taking the plunge, do a little research on mx297, it just might also give you a little bit of that pick up in your social life.

Thanks for the replies! I appreciate them all!

I’m on the fence – in a couple of weeks I’m going to order two of these three: Instant Shine, AMMO and Instant Gentleman.

I can’t decide which two of the three I should get. At least I’ll use the next couple of weeks to muse on it, but I’d really love to read some opinions about which of the two of those three I should, specifically with what I’ve already conveyed about myself, purchase.

Thanks.

It really depends on what you want, what you mainly want actually

Which do you lean more towards

  1. Being popular
  2. Something for attraction

and for questions 1 and 2 you gotta ask yourself what type, what crowd. IS is all use, very friendly. It complements both IG and Ammo. IG and Ammo are also very good standalone products by themselves, ammo for example.

For myself personally ammunition actually gives a little bit of a mature vibe (haven’t seen this much in other reports but it happens to me). IG also gives a mature vibe but the two are different. IG is chill and cool, while Ammo is charming cool (depending also on how you channel and are congruent to the signature)

You can get all three in the smaller to-go sizes to try them out, without breaking the budget. That is a good way to start without buying a lot of something you might not like.

Welcome to pherotalk Addict!

All the products mentioned will help in someway to either give you a confidence boast or give off the vibe you want to project in your introduction.

It’s up to you whether you want to try all of them or just some depending on what is most important to you or fits your situation the most.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Your gc was issued! :wink:
