Hey everyone. I’m totally new to the whole pheromone thing but I’m basically looking for something to help me meet new people. I do have realistic expectations for these [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) as I don’t expect them to be magic but as far as I know they are more of an enhancement to my personality? One thing I am curious about is how long they last. Is it necessary to reapply pheromones after a few hours? A little about my self. I’m late twenties, male, and have lived in California my entire life. I occasionally hit the clubs so I think AMMO would be a good starter? Anyways I’m just excited to order my first pheromones! ---

Hey there, ventu.ium… Your right on as to an enhancement of YOU… I like to think of mones as the Spot Light of a stage… they’ll only shine on the star of the program… which is YOU. If you don’t show up, the Spot light will not help… As to time, depends. Using the A314 oil, I’ll get hits of respect 10 hours after my initial application. But, the alcohol based socials, like Instant Shine, IO, IG, IH… those will dissipate within a few hours, I’ve seen hits from these in California weather, last about 4 to 6 hours… I will sometimes re-apply from a togo or carry a 30ml bottle in my car and reapply when I’m in the car. Yup, AMMO is a good club hitting mix, though, you may want to see if you can use a social like Instant Shine or [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) increase the comfort level around you. Tell us a bit about your personality. How would you describe yourself, in general terms? Thanks for joining and posting on the board! 🙂 ---

Welcome to Pherotalk Ventus 🙂 Yes, your choice of Ammo is a good one for starters - you should read the introduction and threads linked in this thread from 1Alpha’s sig. It contains all the info you need to understand and get started with phero use. > [@An Introduction to Mones: Names, Size, Strength, Use, Effects & Duration](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/an-introduction-to-mones-names-size-strength-use-effects-length-of/43003): > > Welcome to an exciting world of [pheromones](https://a314.com/shop/). By joining our community you have taken a HUGE step in progressing a science that is cutting edge and still in its infancy. This community is globally important in recognizing pheromones, and Neuroinfluence Technology ? and their impact on human communication. There are thousands of posts here and thousands more users. Each one of us, including you, adds a unique dynamic to the community from our individual perspectives, experiences and our research an… His advice of Ammo and socials like Instant Shine, [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) etc is a good solid introduction. Good you have your head screwed-on about expectations - Yes, pheros are a great help but IME you still need to do the work and get congruency (appropriate behaviours) sorted as well. I started with behaviours first and then came to pheros, it was like the icing on the cake. 🙂 If you also have a look at this thread and give us some more info about yourself and how you want to use pheros, we may be able to offer better advice and you will earn your GC, which will help you get started: [https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-qualify-for-a-25-gift-certificate/19934](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-qualify-for-a-25-gift-certificate/19934) ---

**a) Your age, or general range** -late twenties **b) Sex (male, female), -** male \*\*c) General location \*\ ***- California** **d) Most importantly, tell us a bit about yourself**, **your personality** , **why you’re here, and what you hope pheromones will do for you.-** As I mentioned before I’m basically looking for something to help boost my confidence a little as well as something to help me meet new people. I’m a pretty confident guy but there are times when I am a little self conscious, especially when meeting new people. I think Instant Openess or [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) would really help out there. One pheromone I’m interested in is Instant Jerk. The description says it gives the user a sense of extreme confidence. I haven’t done much research yet but that does sound very interesting to try out. Anyways, just waiting for that gift certificate so I can finally try some of these pheromones out! ---
