A. Depends on your definition of legit! If by that do you mean, those which offer you a money back guarantee? Any of the Instant line of products come with a ridiculous guarantee. I can’t remember because I’ve never returned any, but it’s there to settle your fears of "legit"ness. Androtics also manufactures a variety of research pheromones, or suspected pheromones called putatives. These are pheromone or pheromone-like molecules, which are suspected to varying degrees of consistency of acting like pheromones. These don’t come with the guarantee because of the research nature of the compounds. They can still have great effects though!
B. Different pheromones will have different effects, culminating in a spectrum that we usually divide into respect, social and sexual groupings. To be sure, there are many molecules that act in ways atypical of this divide, but a great many act in some way to enhance perceptions in one of these fields. Social pheromones act exactly as you say, and encourage social interaction, deepen conversations, or make nonverbal communication more apparent.
C. The hype is because of the awesome effects that can be seen if you buckle down and read about the process before saying it doesn’t work. Unfortunately, many, as you say, don’t set out with a clear goal in mind for what they want to accomplish with pheromones.
a. Some pheromones will attract sexual attention, and this can be used to narrow down a room full of people if you so desire. Others will ‘display higher value’ in the jargon, meaning that they project varying degrees of social worth. There’s always someone in the room that every other person is acutely aware of.
b. Certain combinations of products have, to varying degrees of success, attracted specific types, like jocks, or asian women, or brunettes - but I don’t want you to think of pheromones in that way. Better to see them as opening opportunities with all types of people. Sometimes people just need a push besides the visual and tactile senses. Pheromones are there to serve such a function.
c. If that is your desire, then there are pheromones that I would recommend for such a purpose. The beauty of pheromones is that there isn’t just one of them, but a wide selection for most any occasion. For this situation, I would recommend a social pheromone, like Instant Honesty, combined with a long slinky dress
At any rate, I wish you luck on your pheromone journey. If you have further questions, feel free to ask them here in this thread. You ask good questions!
A. Which ones are legit. : everything in my signature that I’ve noted that I like is ‘legit’ as far as I’m concerned. I feel the results/effects they’ve had have been far beyond the spectrum of what a placebo could bring about and have been well worth the cost.
B. Are they a tool to pull to enhance your attract reaction like make-up or perfume, causing one to want to get to know your personality better?: yes, and more things. They are no means a miracle but they do help yourself and others to take action on feelings and impulses that are already there. They will not make someone who isn’t attracted to you become attracted, they will make subtle changes in people that already have some interest in you and help facilitate building on that. Physical attraction/intimacy isn’t the only application either.
C. People have told me they’re a bunch of hype, but I don’t know if they’re trying to accomplish with the pheromones. : Instant Shine gets people engaging me which they don’t without. It also makes me a bit more receptive to people engaging me. A314 gets people to give me their undivided attention, in one case I’ve even had someone wait on me like a valet/servant without any prompting from me which was somewhat out of character for them. Other compounds have other results that are measureable and real.
