Hey, my name is Julie Anne and I’m a senior in college in CT. I like to dance, run, read and take pictures. I joined pheromonetalk because I’m curious about what [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/) can do and I’ve heard good things. I would like to feel more confident and I believe this could help. Also, I obviously like the idea of playing up my natural scent to attract others. Anyone have any recommendations? ---

Hi Julie Anne, welcome to Pherotalk 🙂 I started as you did, in college curious about even the idea of pheromones. One of the things I wish I had done better was to get an idea of what I wanted to accomplish with pheromones. To help you, allow me to ask a few questions. You said you’re interested in feeling more confident. May I ask in what way? What I mean is, there are pheromones for feeling sexy, and there are others for breaking the ice, and there are yet others that give off that air of sleek, put togetherness. There are still more that deepen conversations, and one particular favorite of mine (Instant Shine) that elevates mood almost like a drug. It helps us (in giving recommendations) to know a little bit about your personality, and about your social habits before we go spouting off names of products. Also, sharing a little about yourself can earn you a gc which can help with a first purchase. The best thing about Pherotalk is the huge volume of archived information at your fingertips. For instance, [this thread](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/an-introduction-to-mones-names-size-strength-use-effects-length-of/43003). I encourage you to read a few threads in the women’s forum as well to get a feel for what can be done with pheromones. Feel free to ask any questions that you may have in this thread. Congratulations on the start of your pheromone journey 😉 ---

Tell us more about you and your personality. Pheromones are like clothes. We cant tell you what you would look good in until we know what you look like and what the occasion is. Are you Shy or outgoing? Is there something about you that you want to change? (-mones don’t do that but they can help steer you in the right direction) What are you wearing them for? Are you in a relationship that you want to strengthen? Do you want to catch a certain someones eye or do you just want to turn heads? Read different threads to find out how they may work for you. Good Luck. ---

For your sexual prowess I’d pick up Instant Sexiness, I can’t speak of it much from personal experience being male but I’ve only read good about it. For self-esteem/shyness my go to is Instant Shine. It makes me happier, relaxes me in social settings, gets me out of my shell engaging people with eye contact/smiles/greetings (which is out of character for me without). I’ve also been dabbling with using [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) on myself to get me more talkative, usually I’m quiet and reserved around people I don’t know very well as that’s how I was raised to be (cop family). I find if I put a bit on my throat I’ll chat up strangers that engage me. ---

Welcome Julianne, This is a super informal and not so tailored response if you will. I would luuuuuuuv to spend more time assisting you especially since you are a newbie. We are short staffed and these gift certificates are done manually. It takes a great deal and I am back logged. I am hoping that when I catch up on my work, I can start answering these intro threads the way I use to In fact, I am hoping that soon, someone more experienced than me can come in so I get to do what I am great at, customer service. Thank you for giving pheromones a chance. Your gc was issued!
