Hi, I’m a 24 year old Indian male who is in school learning about biology. I live in the Windy City, and I had first heard about pheromones on television. They were talking about how people can sometimes find their mate because the pheromones they give off are “compatible”. For example, women are attracted to a pheromone signature that is somewhat familiar but still different enough to add some evolutionary diversity. The familiarity (ie, from relatives/himself/herself) indicates good genes on some level while the diversity makes sure they don’t mate with close relatives. I thought it was a pretty cool idea but I never really gave it much thought until I realized how some people just seemed to give off a certain “something”. You know you respect them or fear them for a reason you just can’t put your finger on. I am leaning towards the idea it may be pheromones since physically/mentally these people are not the type I would normally fear/respect. I am leary of buying a high -none product because I know it affects different races in different ways. Black men are rather confrontational towards me for little reason (once i looked at a guy and he thought i wanted to fight, another was a bum who I politely refused to give change and he was very aggressive only towards me even though others were much ruder in saying no, and another time a black guy started blaming me for something i didn’t do and seemed like he wanted to fight). Luckily I was able to diffuse the situation in each of the cases without losing money or getting the crap kicked out of me. More than any other racial group I seem to set off something in black guys. I don’t know if this is due to how I look or maybe I have a high or low -none level? Seeing as how I am actually a small guy (only 5’6") I would really like to avoid situations like that.
In order to get the gift certificate they also want to know what I hope to get from pheromones. Well, I am leaning towards two goals here:
- An increase in respect from coworkers to help further my career. Getting interviewers to respect me more would help me in getting a better job later.
- Something to get women to help open up around me/be more attracted to me. I have been described as looking “aloof” or “cold” by people who don’t even know me or have even talked to me. I have also been described as looking “mean” by people who have never known/talked to me either. People who know me say the opposite and say I am pretty nice and talkative but that they did have a negative first impression upon seeing me. There is nothing I can do about my face (I have been described as looking a little like a beardless, turbanless ayatollah khomeini (sp?) If you google image the name you’ll get the idea) Since there is nothing I can do about my face I was looking for another solution. So, I would like people (especially women) to have a positive first impression about me rather than a negative one and I think pheromones might help.
I am leaning towards buying A314 for number 1. I don’t know whether or not it will work for number 2. I want to avoid any pheromone that would get my ass kicked too.
Any suggestions will be very appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
