About me: I’m 30 years old, and lived in many places including the Middle East, several US states, and now Tokyo, Japan. I own and run my own company, and am a naturally alpha guy - but more of the provider I’m-gonna-be-there-for-you type rather than the let’s-go-behind-the-bushes type. It’s a good thing I think - but a lot of time women mistake that for being a “nice guy”, and we all know where nice guys end up. (let’s just be friends!) Relationship-wise I’ve never been single for long - but most of my relationships started from a woman hitting on me rather than the other way around. To put it bluntly I suck at picking up women. Why am I here: A combination of curiosity whether this stuff actually works - and wanting to see if any of it can actually help me in real life. I don’t really need anything to appear more alpha - but perhaps something to make me seem a little less of a nice guy (TUTH??) and something to help with initiating conversations (IO/IH/CTTM2??) might help. I’ve never had any “game” as I’ve never even tried picking up women - but I think that’s something I’d like to change now. We’ll see. 🙂 ---

Hello and welcome to the forum. Yes this stuff really works but it is not magic and certainly not like the Gilroy in Ocean’s whatever. It gets to the point with sequels you can’t keep the names straight. For a good idea of what to really expect try reading the thread in my signature block that tlaks about what pheros can and cannot do. Like I tell everyone else they create subliminal suggestions and it will be up to you to get them to act on those suggestions. I think you have a great combination of what you need to do already in mind. TUTH will certainly take you out of the MR. Stable Provider/ Friend zone. But it can also send a very raw message - to the point it can scare some women off. So your idea of buffering it with IO/IH or CTTM2 is perfect. You still get the sexy message across but it is tempered with fun to talk to or feelings of connection as in the case with IH. Of course you can’t be doing too bad if most of your relationships start with women picking you up - lol - that is something most single guys here dream of! Maybe just do some reading about how to maintain their interest … plenty of material on the web about that now. Bugt also how to approach women. Steve here is a master at that. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do. ---

Thanks for the reply and the welcome. 🙂 I actually already read the “what pheros can and cannot do” post before ordering. To start with I got A314, IShhine, CTTM2, and TUTH. I’ve tried A314 with CTTM2, and CTTM2 by itself so far. It almost seems like A314 gives me NEGATIVE results. I’ve tested it in a school setting (I’m studying Japanese). I usually naturally get a lot of attention from classmates, but on the days I wore A314+CTTM2 it was almost like I was being ignored. But whenever I initiated conversation with anyone they would open up and talk to me immediately. One thing to mention is the class is 100% Asian other than me - mostly Koreans, and mostly non-Alpha. Perhaps the A314 combined with my natural alpha-ness makes it a little over the top and intimidates them? Another point to notice is that one of the teachers - a very dominant/alpha female in her late 30’s - basically kept staring at me and giving me significantly more attention than usual. Not a good thing in this context - but definitely interesting. Anyway, I should probably post this in a journal rather than here. Was just curious if it’s possible to OD on A314 or not? (when used by an already-alpha male). I was wearing 2-3 drops, and 2-3 CTTM2 sprays. ---

Bosshank gave you some great info there, and yes it’s possible to come off as even more intimidating with A314 (especially if you’re already intimidating as it is.) A thing to do here is up your CTTM dose, and/or lower your A314 doses. The addition of some IS would also be a good idea to try out in this mix. > [@I\_Fail\_At\_Nanpa](#): > > Thanks for the reply and the welcome. 🙂 > > I actually already read the “what pheros can and cannot do” post before ordering.

Thanks. 🙂 Actually I don’t come off as intimidating without the A314 - I’m naturally very friendly. But it almost seems like the A314 makes me intimidating to non-alpha’s. It seems to have a positive effect on alpha’s though. Sort of reminds me of a couple of alpha girls I used to hang out with - they initially fought over a guy and hated each other for years - until they figured out they had a lot in common and ended up as best friends. I have a feeling A314 might help create that sort of “bond”. Given that I’m mainly interested in alpha girls, this might actually be a good “screening” mechanism to help weed out the non-alpha’s and help facilitate a quicker bond with alpha’s. a proper test (in a club settting) will be coming this weekend. 🙂 How does blood type influence mones, by the way? (I’m type O-, lol) ---
