I’m 31 years old, male and live in the Louisville KY area. I am interested in trying and experimenting with different [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/), and discussing it with others. I haven’t purchased anything yet. I think I tend to intimidate people a bit already, and from lurking around on the list I’ve noticed some people get anxious from using androstenone products. I already have anxiety problems without pheromones. Can anyone recommend a product just as a first pheromone to try that will get me some hits, but either contains very little androstenone, balanced with other pheromones to make it more relaxing, or ideally, contains no androstenone at all? I’ll eventually try some androstenone, but I think for a first try I would prefer something with little or none of it. ---

Plotinus, welcome to the forum and let me say that was a great first posting. Sounds to me like you might want to try something like Instant Shine - which is a feel good pheromone that will not only put those around you in a happy, feel good mood, but also has the same self-effects. Really any of the products in the Instant line would be good for you to try out as as an initial order. The [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) can act as an ice breaker - making it easier to get conversations started. The Instant Honesty can open the door to deeper and more meaningful conversations. Instan Gentleman could be a great buffer if you you are putting others at ill ease. Finally Instant Femal Magic is a great choice for putting women at ease and making them feel comfortable around you. I would suggest A314 as well, but am hesitant at this point. Can you tell us a bit more about why it is that you intimidate people? Those of course are just my opinions, and I’m sure that a number of other users will be dropping in to offer their help too. And you can expect SteveO to stop in, say hi and send out a $15.00 gift certificate to help with your purchase. Again, welcome to the forum. You have found what I consider to be the best source for information on pheromones, coming from an absolutely incredible group of people, who are more than willing to help you along in this wonderfil world of pheromones. ---

Welcome to the forum 🙂 Good question Mark. Why is it you believe you intimidate people? I am not sure I would suggest A314 just yet either. There is very little anone in it and it does give the wearer a feeling of confidense and control but you tend to have approuch more wearing it because it can be a intimidating mix. I suggest you start out with the socials. IO, IH, IFM ,Instant shine These contain no anone. I think you should give [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) a try when the to-gos are in stock again. It is only 1/3 anone and it has buffers in it. I really have never noticed alot of anxious people with anone. They just want to be sure to use the correct dosage so they get the best effects. If you have any questions just let us know Tisha ---

Welcome to the forum Plot! I like to go easy on the None also. I do not like the way it increases my anxiety and the people I come in contact with. I reserve my high None products for Night Clubs and Bar Hopping. Try some [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/) on the back of your neck so it does not have as much chance to influence your mood. Instant Openness is good to make people chatty and Instant Honesty is good if you want to know their life story. You can always add a dab of None like I do if you want to sex it up a little.

Why do I intimidate people? I think it is because I am a fairly cerebral person, and when I talk about something I really don’t beat around the bush. This is what I’ve been told by friends anyway. Lately I’ve found a few male peers my age who aren’t intimidated by me, but they are also pretty cerebral and blunt. Still, I’m interested in doing more social engineering with those who aren’t. ---

By the way… I’m white or of European descent. Don’t know if that’s important but thought I would add that since they mention it being important on another post. ---

Hello Plotinus, You know I normally would jump right in and say try this or that, but I am hesitant to offer any type of advice. I know how it is to have anxiety attacks. Before I got my life in order anything could have set them off. Nothing like being up most of the night dreading the next day! Seeing that I too have experienced those blasted crippling self-induced fear, the only thing that allowed me to overcome it was embracing my fear and taking action to fix my world. I’m glad its over with too. With anxiety it’s not so much of what sets it off, but why it’s set off in the first place. I have no suggestions at all on what you could use. Even something as safe as IShine could end up as setting anxiety off. What happens when the self-affects wear off and you start to slide down the slippery slope? I don’t know what to suggest! How bout I just offer you a GC instead. ---

I honestly doubt that any of the pheromones would cause me to get very anxious unless I seriously overdid it. Many, if not most sound like they have a more relaxing affect. I don’t often have anxiety attacks, except perhaps in certain situations. On the other hand if I get a hold of even the amount of caffeine you’d find in a cup of tea, that will set me off in the worst way. I think in my case it is basically chemical, and that is why I am very cautious. I appreciate your efforts.
