Hello
I’m 29, male, from Italy. (Let’s hope my English is better than the sad, sad average of my fellow countrymen
)
I found this forum from a Google ad–it’s actually one of the few times I’ve clicked on a Google ad! ![]()
The reason I’m interested in pheromones is very practical, and probably most common. I have some personal problems with relationships. I hope you will help me understand if these scents can be a part of my solution or not. ![]()
My personality is very atypical in the real world (that’s not a typo, it is rare: INTJ on the Myers-Briggs type indicator, or 1% of the population) On the other hand, it’s quite common on the internet
Anyways, one of my main personality traits is introversion. This is not necessarily a bad thing (look it up on Wikipedia, the first paragraph there describes me pretty well!) but it does mean that I have a small circle of friends, that I don’t actively seek out parties and other kinds of “excitement”, and that I hate having to make social contact with people ![]()
I’m not shy, I just find social relations and chit-chat with strangers tiring and stressful. Even on the internet, I take part in a lot of forums and mailing lists but not in social networks such as Facebook. I can’t stand them. IRL, I see a few close friends regularly, but I try to avoid clubs or social gatherings.
Which brings me to my main problem: girls. I can’t find a girlfriend for the life of me. I can’t even get a date, and I’ve been trying for quite some time. ![]()
(I can hear a chorus of “No shit Sherlock!” Will you please cut it out and read the rest. ![]()
Now, I’m a decently smart, educated, good-hearted, and caring person, I dress well (meaning I try to dress attractively), I have a nice job, I live on my own, I have many interests, I shower and shave daily, I work out regularly, I’m slim and fit. In other words, I might be a nerd, but I’m not a cave dweller! I’m also not overly shy or anxious, although I might get too much on the “insecure” side when I’m around girls.
Notwithstanding all this, girls don’t find me the least bit attractive. When I try to “take it easy”, they don’t even understand I have romantic intentions. When I try to be more assertive, they get scared and run away, or just turn me down. I know these issues are common to the whole male gender, but I believe I’m experiencing them way more than my share.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not expecting you to solve my problems for me (one of the reasons I’m typing this rant out is to better understand my problems myself–and I guess I’ll have to seek professional help if this goes on for much longer. Yes, I’m that depressed.) I just thought I’d try to see if there is some “chemical aid” that would help me get the ball rolling.
I should mention that I’m looking for a stable, romantic relationship, with a nice girl maybe a few years my younger. I’m not interested in “one night stands” at all (I actually turned down one last year! Which again, is a more significant gesture from my point of view than from most.) I don’t have problems making the very first move, “breaking the ice” as it is, but I do quickly feel insecure if I don’t see the girl reacting with the tiniest bit of interest. Which is what usually happens–or rather, fails to happen. ![]()
Does any of this make sense to you? ![]()
I’m also still trying to understand if this pheromone deal is a Master Scam or if there’s any truth to it… so if you’d like to give me any practical advice, please go for a single product, as I’m not likely to buy more than a tiny bottle before I’ve seen for myself that it’s not a scam. No offense meant to the researchers in this field, of course. I just think there’s a lot of scammers preying on the lonely and desperate, and I’m not going to fall for it.
