Hello I’m Brian and i am 40 and in the south orange county area. I joined honestly to receive the gift cert as I want to purchase the instant shine which I have heard some good things about previously and am very curious. I browsed this forum a lot past few days and learned about a lot more and initially I was thinking pheremones were just placebo effect type stuff. I’m frankly not too bad looking at all actually I have been told many times I look thirty and also keep fit via working out, jogging, and started kickboxing. I’ve always been very pleasant around people and have no issues making small talk w people at work or around the street when the circumstances call for it. However I do have a past where I was very hampered by shyness and anxiety. This all of course I sort of worked through with being good at my occupation and having a sense of purpose when out and about and having an interest in how I look. So there you have it. I will have questions later. I will be lurking about. Thanks. ---

Hey Don’t worry, it can’t be placebo and you’ll realize that if you read closely. Just go ahead and try, be sceptical, don’t believe they work but don’t believe they don’t work either (NLP still stronger than mones 😉 ). And why shouldn’t they work? It’s nature. Hope you’ll have a nice time around 🙂 From my understanding, the social line would be awesome for you Question: how did you stumble across the whole mone topic and this site anyways? Keep us updated 🙂 Bye ---

Thanks guys. I’ve gone ahead and purchased a Togo IS, 30ml ammo reg strength, 30ml tuth reg strength, and p83 30ml 2.5. These are the ones I’m most curious about. More so to just have some fun testing them out not to hook up or anything ( I’m married) but to see how more interactions I can get during the course of the day just socializing with others and of course opposite sex. I’ve always been a someone who actually gets along with women at work more readily than with men. Not sure why. It most likely is bc I dress sort of “metro” or tight fitted clothes and jeans and sort of unisex if I’m not at work or at a conservative social place like church or with family. I do dress like this with my wife she doesn’t mind. I have many female acquaintances at any work I’ve been at but just one or two men acqs. Also I have been known to attract a few gay men which alarmed me at first but as the years go by I actually just consider it flattery and I have come to befriend many gay guys at work in a heterosexual manner. Anyways, I’m Interested in the effects of these items within an Asian community. There is a lot of Asians here mostly Chinese and Korean where I live that are the around my age sort of genX second generation types yuppy DINK or small children and bc of that there is a sense of closed-off ness and a sort of arrogance and silent competition sort of attitude between the Asians. ( I can walk down a sidewalk and come face to face with another Asian couple they wont say hi unless I say hi or nod first or else they’ll just stare at you then look away sort of deal. This doesn’t happen with caucasians or other nationalities here. Just my experience. ) I’ll go to the local Korean Mart and go shopping and the older women are really open to greeting me and complimenting me on my looks or what have you (lot of it bc they want to sell items to you ) but the younger ones will lot of times not look my direction or even completely ignore me even when doing so is obviously singling me out ironically. Just being candid I know I sound a little too sure about myself but just beig honest and I’m sure lot of others here who are older ( and younger ) who can relate or have a good grasp of confidence in some certain social criteria situations. Will ammo make the people here turn heads or make them even more standoffish ? Will they fight the urge to smile if I have IS on ? Don’t know. This crowd is tough here , again, there the types where if they don’t got one better than you in some way ( their LV bag is bigger or they got two beautiful kids or they got a mortgage on a detached condo while you only have a apt rental… This sort of thing) they won’t give you a smile unless you yield first. I guess that is human nature here. But I didn’t have that when I lived elsewhere in Ventura county or when I visit other places. People are all kinds but they seem to be just on general more relaxed than the yuppy Asians conglomerated in this locale. Dang I wrote a rant instead of a intro!
