Hey guys! It’s actually been a while since I came across this site… maybe about 4 years ago. 😃 Anyway, it’s time to finally introduce myself. My name’s Kevin, and I’m a 20 year old male from New York. During my high school years, I was mainly looking for a social lubricant; something that would ease myself up, considering how I used to be very shy and would be afraid of engaging in conversation with others. I was full of insecurities, and personally, it didn’t matter if other people opened up to me, or if there was any attraction going on because I was only focused on **what I could do** to become more outgoing and lively. To make a long story short, I wanted to become a man of action. I wanted to one day be able to approach women and carry on a meaningful conversation. Why was it so important to me? Because every time I failed, it was a blow to my self-confidence. After searching online for some sort of “miracle product”, I came across this forum, did some research, and I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. The positive reviews, though, left me curious and I decided to buy myself some instant shine. I sprayed it on, and suddenly I felt like a different person. I became superman, or batman, or whatever you want to call it. I felt happy, confident, and care-free. Slowly but surely, and through constant use, I’ve become a lot more social, and my insecurities don’t carry along the same burden that they used to have on my shoulders. It’s amazing how this one product has had such an impact on the way I interact with those around me. It allowed me to ease into becoming the person I am today. I decided to go on a little break, and I experimented with other colognes. They smell good, but I’ll admit, they don’t make me _feel_, so now I’m back. Just two weeks ago, I bought some A314. Tried it on, and voila, it makes me feel a certain way too. Well there it is; that’s my story. I love this stuff, and I look forward to engage in meaningful pheromone discussion with you guys as well! 🙂 BTW, looking for attraction-based [pheromones](https://a314.com/) now 😉 ---

Welcome Kevin! Nice intro. Good to hear mones have been of help with becoming more confident and outgoing! Think a lot of people use these products as an extra boost in the right direction. I surely do. Tell us, how does the A314 make you feel? What reactions do you see from others? It’s quite an intense product at your age, so maybe you need some good old [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) to tone it down a bit 😉 For attraction mones I can be short with my advice: go with Ammo! Smells great, the felines like it, and easy to use in all situation. And again, this also goes really well with Instant Shine! Enjoy. ---

Ahh the heartwarming welcome 🙂 Nice to meet you @himeros It helps me emit a certain vibe, like “IM THE MAN” kind of vibe, and I think people have started becoming more curious and asking me more questions as a sign of respect. It’s a very unique concoction indeed that creates presence. I’ll look more into it, and I’ve been mixing it with the IS since they work very well together, not only by scent but by composition as well. The IS definitely tones down the seriousness and maintains a playful mood. For AMMO, it seems very popular among those on the forum, and I was actually going to have a shot at that next! @kelsey Thanks for the GC, I will surely use it wisely 🙂 It’s also pleasure to join the forums and I’ll be here for sure! ---
