I’m 23, college student, from New Hampshire I’m here for 2 reasons. First I find human behavior absolutely fascinating. The idea that pheromones can affect people in this day is very interesting to me. I’m skeptical, but also fairly good with the scientific method. Also of course, it seems like [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/) could be used to make not just my life better, but those around me as well. I’m interested in finding out for myself if there is truth in all of this. So I’ve decided to say hello here and use the $15 coupon toward purchasing a few products. Right now I’m leaning toward Instant Shine and Instant Openness. I believe that I get a lot of respect already from those around me, but I feel somewhat hard to approach. I’m also naturally shy. I think however that my shyness comes off as an elitist attitude around my peers. I’m slightly older than most of the people I’m around, plus I’m well spoken and dress well. I’m not ordering until tomorrow so if anyone has any suggestions for me then please let me know. (within a reasonable budget) ---

Welcome Gydonatie! [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) and Openness are both great choices whether wearing separately or paired. You will find yourself hyper sensitive to peoples behavior while first using pheromones simply because you’re looking for a difference. With instant openness I think reaction in both yourself and people around you will be obvious, it is a fun chatty product. 🙂 A lot of new users are skeptical, but as you have surely seen there are a lot of posters here giving real examples of working pheromones. If you haven’t looked around yet the mens sticky section is a great area to start. There are also many articles in the Pheromone Theory and Studies & Abstracts sections. Jasmin is away right now, see post in the Store Announcements section, it may be a while yet before new users receive their gift certs. Enjoy! ---

Hey Gy! Welcome! Instant Shine sounds perfect for you. Normally I would suggest you grab the Instant Openness Test Pack but it’s out of stock at the moment. Personal recommendation? Grab the Instant Shine, [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/) and Instant Openness to-gos. With the $15 gift certificate, you wont be out a lot of cash and i think youll be quickly convinced. Hope to hear more from you! The Tater ---

Welcome to the forum 🙂 I agree with Ink and Tater, the social mones sound like what your looking for and a great place to start. Jas will be around as soon as she’s feeling up to it and knowing her it wont be long LOL. She just had a baby girl yesterday so hang in there and keep a eye out in your email for your GC. In the mean time if you have any questions let us know Tisha ---

Well, thank you all for the welcome and the advice! I’m still reading and (as much as humanly possible) patiently waiting. Though I can certainly understand the reason for the delay. ---

Taters first order was $65. Second order was almost $400. The only reason why the next 5 orders were for less is because theres only so much you can try. If there were more products i would need two drawers to hold everything. ---

The pain! My order shipped out Monday as next day (to New Hampshire) According to the tracking page, it was sent to the wrong facility and forwarded. Then everything looked good until it arrived in Ohio. Apparently it was then sent by truck to Rhode Island which took 30 hours and and it’s been sitting there for 12 hours now. I guess the tracking page could be slow to update but there’s one thing I can say for sure… It didn’t arrive the next day (or the one one after that) The worst part of all this is that I had it shipped to my parent’s house because I knew I’d be there all day Wednesday and I figured giving 2 full days would be plenty of time for DHL. Guess not. Now even if it arrives today, I won’t have it til Saturday when I leave college. I hope this is just a fluke. Anxiously refreshing, (DHL, that is) Gy
