Hi everyone. My name is Josh, I’m a 29 year old teacher from Westbrook, CT. I signed up for this forum because I’m just starting out with pheremones, and actually not sure how interested I am. Mostly, I want to give them a whirl. I just placed an order for: Instant Honesty Instant Openness Instant Shine Turn up the Heat A314 Max Attraction and seem to have gotten a bottle of Ammo without ordering it, plus what looks like two pieces of candy. I’m not sure what that’s doing in there. Anyway, I’m looking to use these things to enhance my life in a few areas. Of course, I realize they’re not magic, so I’m using them mostly to enhance areas where I’m already building skills. So here’s what I’m using them for, and looking for advice on: 1. I teach at a boarding school, and just got two promotions to supervisory positions. I’ll be running my department, and I’ll be supervising dorm staff (and dealing with problems with kids.) I’ve been thinking that A314 would help with these roles, to have an air of respect. What do you think? Is there something else I should add to it? 2. When I need to question a kid about problem behavior, I’ve been thinking I can have a bottle of Instant Honesty in my office and spray it on just before he comes in. Would that help? 3. Like many, I’m interested in dating applications. However, I’m not an “alpha-male” and don’t really want to become one. I’m not into PUA and that area. I’m not looking to change my personality, just to enhance it. I had originally thought [Instant Gentleman](https://a314.com/product/gentleman/), but then I thought it might make me too weak, so I was thinking that, for general use, instant shine and instant openness, plus ammo or TUTH, would be helpful. Is this right, or is three scents too many? Is the TUTH going to demand a more forceful personality than I have? 4. In the same vein, I’m going to try these out during an upcoming speed-dating. I love speed-dating, I find it enjoyable, not so much for meeting people, but just for “social practice” as I’m a bit awkward. I like to follow the rules and do as I’m instructed. Anyway, I bought these because I was thinking, as spray rather than oil, they’d be more likely to work fast. I was thinking of using the same scents as above, but maybe an Max Attraction instead of TUTH. Then some general questions: What else should I add to the supply in my next order? Does anyone get a headache after applying A314? Do these work if you combine them with a cologne? The smell of some seems a little overpowering. How do you figure out mixing and combining them? Should they complement each other, or conflict with each other? Will Instant Shine or A314 cause people to talk to me more at work? Most of the time, I really need to get through the mailroom and to my office, and already have a lot of people wanting to stop and chat with me. I don’t want to wear anything that will enhance that when I’m busy. Is it inappropriate to wear Ammo to Crossfit? ---

Welcome Josh! The [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) and the candy are free gifts. 😉🙂 I think this also yours, the gift certificate: [How do I qualify for a $25 gift certificate?](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-qualify-for-a-25-gift-certificate/19934) 1.) Yes, A314 is the right choice. Much more value and more respect and great self-effects. Just watch out, the daddy girls love this stuff!!! Fascination effects! 2.) Yes, you can also use IH together with A314. It’s is a little buffer for the extreme respect effects and you have much more trust and deeper conversations. A314 (oil base) holds twiceso long as IH. 3.) IH alone can be too soft but with combos like IH, IO, IS and TUTH, really effective. Ammo is also a great base, it is sexy. You can also add TUTH (more sexual), IO, IH and IS. IG + Ammo is also no problem. Take TUTH for the extra sexual kick. Alone maybe to intimidating. One spray (find your sweet spot) TUTH together with the combos see below are no problem. I don’t see the alpha male problematic, only with too much A314 with TUTH for example, but don’t forget the A314 self-effect changed also your personality, better self-confidence. 1. Better TUTH (or Ammo) + IH + IS for speed dating. You have sexual effects/attraction/trust and fun. A314 with IH is also a really great option. Fast high value attraction with trust. No headache with A314. The many scents are also no problem. With extra cologne? Maybe, it can be overpowering with too many products. 2 sprays Ammo and your own perfume are no problem. Spray all Instant Line products direct on you, not mixing in a extra bottle. Yes, the complement each other. The small talk maker is IO, with A314 you have respect and high value attraction. I hope it help you, have fun! Johnny ---

Welcome Josh To answer your questions 1.) Try these products and get a feeling, after that you can decide what suits to your personality and what reactions you realy want! 2.) Only a small minority has this problem, most people use it without any problems 3.) The smell of neroli evaporates after a few min and only a decent note will stand. Every normal perfume is covering these smell. 4.) Allways add social to sexual mones and not sexual to sexual , it can cause problems if you combine TUTH with IJ or Ammo! 5.) With A314 you will have no problems in this way, IS probably enhances talkability Greetz ---

Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess the headache I felt after putting on A314 could be something else or unrelated. I appreciate the free gifts of Ammo and candy! For the speed dating, maybe TUTH, A314, and IH? At the same time, though, I think I tend to come off as “old and wise” and so maybe I should stay away from A314 and use things to soften that, like TUTH, IH, and IS. Or Max Attraction? Thanks again for the great replies and information. I’ll be trying A314 (1 spray of the spray version) at work for a few days to see if there’s any effect. After a few days, I’ll try out IS and see what effect that has. I won’t use it on days I need to be authoritative, though. ---

Welcome to pherotalk godelfan! It sounds like you did your research based on the products you chose and the questions you are asking. The only reason I would oppose is because of your personality , if you are shy and still in your shell then A314 is not for you yet and you need to build confidence and work up to it. Other than that I can say you are good to go and we will just wait for your report on these products. **Your gc was issued! 😉** ---

Thanks. I guess the thing is, I’m not really looking to change my personality. I’m pretty happy with who I am. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly shy and in my shell either, just not what you’d call “alpha” - I seek harmony, avoid confrontation, not very competitive, and so on. I just want to enhance my image and traits, not change myself.

> [@godelfan](#): > > I’m an interdisciplinary teacher, but focus mostly on math. You got it on the username. I’m an anti-positivist and a fan of restoring intuition to mathematics. Ah, I thought as much. I’m an undergraduate student studying neuroscience and mathematics. I must agree that, though the scientific method in even it strictest manifestation has brought us to an amazing understanding of the world, it is still a tool devised by humans and as such imperfect and only suited for a subset of tasks. The realization that empirical evidence could bring us to greater comprehension of the world was a boon for scientific development, but it is in many ways too strict and narrow-minded, especially in very abstract fields such as mathematics. I feel the scientific paradigm is in need of an overhaul if we are to continue making the leaps and advances experienced in the past couple centuries. I often feel that my field of interest, neuroscience, suffers from the same problems of positivism. Anything that cannot be reduced to electrophysiological readings or some other hard form of empirical evidence is considered invalid, an interesting case study at best. Thus, some of the most interesting aspects of the field, those dealing with consciousness and mental states, are relegated to the domain of psychology, seen by many as a pseudoscience because of its proximity to subjective experience and, dear god!, actual human experience.
