Hi jonnc!!! WELCOME to the pherotalk mone forum!!! From the good ol’ OC!!!
Well, claims are only that until you figure out for yourself if they ‘pan out’… couple of ways I see for you to do that… read up on posters threads on the board, such as P51 (P51Mustang's Journal), JosieW (Rise of an Alpha), Dbot (Dbot's Pheromone Journal), samuraitea (The Misadventures of Tea!) as a few of many good examples of actual people using mones and the different degrees of success and failures in there usage.
You could also post up a bit about your personality, what expectations you have of mones, and how you found the site. This is what is required on the INTRO section to get your own Gift Certificate to get your own mones, basically, for free to try out. Then, you can test them yourself to see what kind of range of effects mones have in you and those around you. Take a look at the stickies at the top of the intro forum to see in more detail what I’m talking about as to how to get your GC. What I stated here are the requirements in a nutshell.
I got my GC within 5 days of my initial post. So, getting a GC is possible and actually highly probable for you.
Thanks for joining the forum jonnc and hope things pan out for you!
