Wow, well, this is an active Forum.
I’ll try to respond, maybe a bit lengthy.
Well, I’d heard of Pheromones, but I’ll admit that I thought they were real, but I doubted that they met any of the magical claims that surrounded what I had seen. Thus, I never really tried them. My discussion was related to a theory that my biologist friend has about another friend of ours. He has a certain aura or vibe that most people are attracted to. He also does have a certain personal odor which isn’t offensive, but is certainly musky to some extent. Notwithstanding, he’s an upright, fun, and solid person in many respects. I don’t want to discount his personal attributes as a reason for his “golden boy” presence. Anyway, the biologist’s theory was that perhaps he naturally has certain pheromones which other people find attractive or disarming. This led to me learning about Pheromones as something that can have more effects than purely the “Women will drop to your knees and beg you to take them home!” that I’d seen advertised in my youth. So, I started poking around.
This site interests me in the number of different mixes and desired outcomes, (Openness, honesty, respect) beyond the purely sexual bent. I’ve always been someone that people seem overly free confiding their secrets in, even if I didn’t know them terribly well (It’s good for my line of work
). I have good interpersonal skills, but occasionally it’ll happen when I’m not really even devoting my efforts to getting information. So, I have a little natural curiosity as well.
I’m early 30’s, single, between projects and socialize frequently in an artist group that mixes social and professional. I can be anything from very social to the lone wolf in the corner, depending on my mood, the company and any objectives. There are occasions when I know I should be more social, work the room, etc., but don’t. I’m not afraid to walk over and talk to a cute girl, but it’s usually when I feel some fear that I force myself to do it. It would help if it was a little easier.
So, I thought I’d try a few personal experiments within my social group and explore some ideas based upon the results.
What I’d like to try:
Using pheromones in situations where: I’m competing for work or soliciting contract work, when I don’t feel very social, and when I’m going somewhere to meet or hang out with girls.
So, that’s about it.
Thoughts?
