Hi, This is hrk from CA. I recently got interested in pheromones and looking forward to use. I joined this community to find out, what,why and how s of different [pheromone colognes](https://a314.com/shop/). Also if there are any side effects of these. I hope I will get good help and support from members out here. Just to put more details about myself, I am 26, Male. I feel I am quite comfortable dealing with people, both male and female, in work place. I talk a lot and I talk sense. I can feel people listening to me and liking me. But a strange shyness grows into me, when I am in a pub or a disk. I usually stay silent,observing people and having my drinks. I dont know how/why this paradigm shift happens. I request little suggestion from you guys, if applying pheromones will help changing the situation? ---

Hi HRK, I’m kind of similar, in that I’m much more comfortable talking with others that I know or when I’m in a familiar environment. In other social situations I tend to clam up. I think it’s a tension thing, when I’m feeling that tension it’s too much and shuts me down. Some things you can do to get over it: 1. Bite the bullet and start conversations with other people. Even just asking the time or whatever, don’t worry about results it’s all about getting into the habit of taking action in spite of the tension. 2. Meditate. 3. Try some of the [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/). Instant Shine can be stimulating and will lift your mood. Instant Openness and Instant Honesty tend to get people to lower barriers and talk more than they otherwise would. I don’t get self-effects from either but I have had some hits from Openness. Good luck and have fun. ---

Hey thanks for the reply tezza. But forgive my ignorance. You mentioned some 3 names. I dont know nothing about what percentage to use and all that stuff I see you guys discussing in other threads. Could you help me in this too? ---

Well, basically, you try each one at different dosages by itself until you get a handle on what each does. So for a week you might try Instant Shine at one spray and see what it does. Then two sprays… then three etc. Same with the others, until you find your “sweet spot”. Once you have a good idea of what each individual pheromone tool does, you can work out your own percentages. For example, I find that 2 sprays of Instant Shine and 2 sprays of [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/) work well for me when I’m dealing with kids. I found this out by reading the forum, and then trying it out at different levels until I got the effect I wanted. I think there’s a longer post on this somewhere, search for the terms “sweet spot” or “how to find your sweet spot”. Also, read the post by Steve in the “Messages from Michael” forum on finding your own mixes. In fact, the whole Messages From Michael forum is worth looking through. The recipes from others can give you a leg up to start, but you’ll usually have to fiddle with the dosages and some people get amazing results with one mix and others get nada, and vice versa. It’s got a lot to do with your personality and the personalities of the people you’re using the pheros with. ---

Hi and welcome to the forum! Tezza was referring to a few of the [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/) that Androtics offers, that can be helpful in social situations. Instant Openness is a great “ice breaker” and makes initiating conversation much easier. Instant Honesty will increase the quality of conversations and people will feel more comfortable opening up to you. Instant Shine will give you a bit of sparkle, as well as a nice boost to your mood and the moods of those around you. ---

Hey guys, It feels great to get such detailed yet simple explanations. Just one more doubt before ordering my first bottle, I see there are two types available. Spray and Oil. Could you guys explain to me, which one is more suitable? I see, it has been advised to use oil instead of sprays in hot and less humid locations. But how much temperature/humidity is hot?? And does all the products come in oil/spray combinations? I stay near San Francisco. Which is quite hot I believe. But not sure if spray is to be used or oil. ---

The only one available in oil right now is A314. The others are all sprays. You may need to reapply more often if you’re sweating a lot or if it’s hot. ---
