Hey Dave,
Great back research on the pheromones. Pheromones do work, there are plenty of anecdotal evidence here from members new and old alike. There can be exaggerated placebo effects from the pheromones? Yes. However the consistency after using these products have time and time again proven that they worked. The biggest problem that people have here when providing proof that pheromones work is the validation. For that I would try out Instant Jerk, that can probably best show you that they work, whether they are positive or negative reactions, it will show you how far reaching pheromone can influence human reaction. Think of it like clothes that you put on, hairstyles, jewelry; they only accentuate the person’s natural personality, they don’t replace it, that’s what pheromones are. Pheromone effective exposure rangers vary if you’re in an enclosed space, or whether you’re outside. The more enclosed it is, the farther pheromones could work, the more open, the closer you have to be. Usually because of the close proximity you have to get to a person they would instinctively know that pheromone signature came from you.
Give yourself more of an introduction and get the GC. For you I would recommend Instant Jerk, and AMMO. Just to show you the effects pheromones can have. Think of it as the “proof”.
Here’s a guide to the pheromones that AD currently offers:
Good luck and happy testing:
