Hi there Abqbelly. It’s possible that you have a higher copulin production, or maybe a production of some obscure, esoteric pheros. It’s interesting that a guy made the observation too so you got a good, second opinion. Don’t know about the just-before-menstruation phenomenon but it is an interesting question… curious about that myself now.
And then, for your “baseline” level of getting hit on more than your female peers: there are billions of other factors to consider, none of us really test pheros in a lab or in a social vacuum here, so there are other variables we juggle all the time to try and work out how things are going. Like… your body language… now that might be appealing. You may smile 10% more than the average girl in your social circle or have a generally sunnier disposition. Things like that.
Well, the non-sexual pheromones are “communication pheromones” like the androstenols. But even they could, in certain contexts, make one appear sexier, just because enhanced, more fun or deeper conversation and rapport with someone of the opposite sex might get someone’s thoughts headed in that direction.
This is a sticky, it’s from the men’s forum but it does explain some of the unisex, non-sexual pheromones:
I see this is your first post - if you make a thread in the Introduction - New Users forum you can get a $25 Androtics gift certificate. Also if you repost your questions there, cos more people will see it, maybe some women can shed light on the phenomenon of increased attention at certain stages of your cycle.
