Field Reports & Anecdotal Experience Men's Journals

Hello,

For those of you who are interested in my backstory, my introduction can be found here. For the rest, I will simply say that this journal will be updated approximately once per week, as time permits, and will be kept with as great an amount of accuracy as I can provide. I will also keep my posts as brief as possible for you, in order to make searching them more efficient.

That said, I have been testing several products in varying strengths and combinations for the past two weeks. Many of the products are standard, consumer line ones, and are therefore pretty well known to those who have been on the forum before. One product, however, MX450, was also available, and was run through its paces for one week thus far. I plan on testing further with that one, as well, even though I’m afraid it won’t last very long.

So, without further adieu, here we go…

Test Series 1 (March 26-31) and 2 (April 1-6):

Products used:
- Ammunition. Typical dose is 1 spray or less, applied to the chest.
- Instant Honesty. Typical dose is 1 spray to the inside of each elbow.
- Instant Openness. Typical dose is 1 spray to each forearm. When applied to wrists, the spray causes a low level, dull pain for <5 minutes.
- Instant Shine. Typical dose is 1 spray to throat, possibly with another spray to the hair.
- MX450. Test Series 2 only. Typical dose is 1 spray to inside of each elbow.

Test Series 1 Environment:
- Indoor Locations: Small Car, Diners, Large Stores (WalMart, Lowe’s, etc.), College Classroom (30’x40’?)
- Outdoor Conditions: 41-64?F, 52?F mean average; winds up to 34mph (13mph average); 4 days of rain.

Test Series 2 Environment:
- Indoor Locations: Same as Test Series 1
- Outdoor Conditions: 33-66?F, 49?F mean average; winds up to 23mph (6mph average); 1 day of rain.

Primary Subjects:
- Wife. Female; early 30s; Caucasion; B-; acute sense of smell.Typical exposure time of 3-7 hours per day. Typical proximity of <10-15 feet.
- Cats. Females, aged 7-16.
- Classmates. Typical sample is female, aged 18-25. Deviation set includes <4 males per class, aged 18-60+, and <5 females per class aged 40+. Typical exposure time of 3 hours twice per week. Typical proximity of
<15 feet. Deviation set includes 1 mid-60s female (teacher), 1 mid-30s female and 1 mid-40s male, both Caucasion. Deviation set exposure times are doubled at same proximity.

Notable Collateral Subjects:
- Cashiers. Typical sample is female, aged 30-40+. Typical exposure time is <10 minutes per encounter, once per week. Deviation set includes 1 mid-40s female, exposed 4 times per week. Typical (initial) proximity during all encounters is about 3 feet.
- Bank Tellers. Typical sample is female, aged 30-40+. Typical exposure time is <10 minutes per encounter, once per week. Typical proximity during all encounters is about 3 feet.
- Apartment Manager. Female, 55-65, undergoing cancer treatment.
- Neighbor. Female, aged 50-60.
- Wait Staff. Typical sample is female, aged 30-55+. Typical direct exposure time is <15 minutes per meal, at a proximity of <3 feet.

Self Effects:
- Ammunition. Use accompanies a mild heartrate increase of short duration (<10 minutes), an increase in bruxism/TMJ related symptoms, and a mild increase in irritability/frustration levels. Use also accompanies a mild sense of increased power, stamina, and confidence. I also noticed that this one smells slightly of urine, despite being easy enough to hide with other scents.
- Instant Honesty. Use accompanies a notable increase in my sense of closeness with others, and my willingness to show concern for their issues.
- Instant Openness. Use accompanies a slight increase in willingness to both listen to others, and speak my mind.
- Instant Shine. Use accompanies an almost physical sense of serenity and confidence, and a marked decrease in social anxiety. Thoughts which would normally cause an increase in anxiety or depression states are much
easier to release while using this product, and ultimately melt away within moments; this effect typically lasts for 4+ hours after application.
- MX450. Use accompanies 5-10 minutes of extreme drowsiness, followed by a low key feeling of mellow but functional relaxation. Use also seems to accompany an increase in insomnia, sexual dreams, and partial awakening that occurs approximately every 1.5 hours.

Subject Effects:
- Ammunition. After several uses, my wife appeared to become more interested in initiating sexual encounters, and began to take more notice of my desires, both in and out of the bedroom. The majority of females under the age of 30-35, appeared to show increased interest in me, yet also seemed to have an increase in shyness around me. Women over 40, however, appeared more social with me. Males of all ages also appeared to show me more consideration during use, as if my status had increased in their eyes.
- Instant Honesty. People of all ages and sexes appeared to take more time to help me with any issues I was facing, large or small. Women also appeared to find ways to physically get closer to me, and/or touch me; not in an overtly sexual way, but in a very warm, friendly way. On a side note, this product also seems to be a favorite of my cats. Once applied, they simply won’t leave me alone for an hour or more. What’s more,
my wife tends to compliment me more on the way I smell on days that include IH in my mix.
- Instant Openness. This product seems to draw people of all ages and sexes out of the woodwork to talk to me. If they can find a way to strike up a conversation, they will. What’s nice, is that the conversations, no matter how initially uninteresting to me, appear to always flow smoothly, and keep all involved entertained in the end.
- Instant Shine. This product appears to garner a number of beneficial reactions from people of all ages and sexes. Every time I use it, people visibly relax in my presence, appear happy to see me, treat me well, and generally don’t give me a hard time, even if they’re having a rough day. What’s more, people seem to give me preferential treatment far more often than usual, and any mistakes I may make appear to be immediately overlooked; it’s as if I can do no wrong.
-MX450. This product appears to contribute to several positive reactions in women, especially when paired with IO and Shine. While it would appear to create a more rapid bond with women, I did not notice any overtly “attractive” effects. However, by the end of Test Series 2, I did notice that more women in my classes were suddenly dressing up and wearing makeup than usually would be. Further, several of the ladies in my classes had claimed seats closer to my own, and seemed to be checking up on my work more frequently than usual. What’s more, the women’s choices in clothing seemed to become more revealing during this period of time, despite the worsening of the prevailing weather conditions. With my wife in particular, this product’s use was accompanied by a sudden desire on her part to initiate sexual encounters more frequently, to help with household chores more often, to have a marked increase in public displays of affection, and to have an instinctual urge to place herself between myself and the most attractive ladies present in any venue we found ourselves at.

Best Reactions:

- Attention Getting Mix 1: 1 Shine each to throat and hair, 1 Instant Openness to each forearm, 1 Instant Honesty to each inside of elbow.

- Female Improvement Mix 1: 1 Shine each to throat and hair, 1 Instant Openness to each forearm, 1 MX450 to each inside of elbow.

- Best Cover Scent: Aspen, 1 spray to chest over shirt.

Final Thoughts:
Based on my small samples during this test period, my social history, and the descriptions on this forum of how androstenone containing products tend to effect people, I have concluded that I probably have a naturally high level of androstenone production. As such, it is no small surprise that my best trial days were ones where I used only IO, Shine, and possibly IH. I was still definitely getting attention on Ammo days, especially from the older ladies and blondes, but in general it seemed to really limit overt communication and contact with women. The one exception to this, is when I used a mixture of equal parts of all four products, and then applied 1-2 drops of the resulting combination on my chest, along with the typical doses of IO, IH, and Shine. When using that mixture, it seemed to let the -none peek out and say “hi”, without scaring off the younger ladies.

Further, I realized that in order to really see what the pheromones could do, they needed to be spread out, rather than all mixed together. Granted, others had said so on the forums, but I still had to try it my way first. In some ways, I’m glad I did, though, as the simple mixture I produced has proven itself to be useful as an “up-close” mix in situations where the more pure -none would otherwise not fit in well, such as at school. Therefore, I will continue to play with this mixture in the future, adjusting it as needed.

Finally, I have become extremely interested in finding out what MX450 really is, as it appears to act as some form of catalyst for the realization of an idealized female, bringing out that form in women, as well as in my dreams. It is also a product that I would really love to keep testing, but I know I would run out of it within a couple of weeks should I try. If I could buy this one “as is”, I would do so gladly, despite the sleep issues it seems to cause.

Wow… HypnoTech… Great journal post. Love the detailed description on yourself and your ‘collateral’ subjects.

AMMO is a good all around mone. This, together with IShine, can get that -none in AMMO in check. It’s a VERY versatile combo.

MX450, you say… I’ll have to see when I can get around to ordering it. Glad you have that experience, though, I agree, that the 5 ml bottles limit the range of testing. You’ll just have to order a couple of them next time! :smiley:

Subscribed!

:slight_smile:

Thanks for the reply, 1Alpha. I’m hoping to eventually land myself the coveted “Reporting User” status, so I can continue to test products without breaking the household budget.

As for the MX450, though, I don’t think that they have it up for sale yet. Luckily, I ended up placing an order at the end of last week, and happened to get a second 5ml bottle of the MX450, plus one of MX447, which I will add into the trials shortly. Along with those, I’ve rounded out my collection a bit more with a 30ml TUTH, 5ml Instant Jerk, 5ml “Panty Soaker” P79, and a “refill” 5ml bottle of Instant Openness since the 30ml would take my monthly budget for -mones.

So, suffice it to say, the next couple of weeks should be interesting. :wink:

One question, though… Assuming I’m correct in thinking that I have high -none production, can I really play with higher -none products by simply adding extra Shine? Or, for that matter, should I still see where my OD limit is, rather than continue to play it safe? Thus far, I’ve been trying to slowly build up with the -mones in order to stretch out my supplies and not overwhelm people (I’m already a pretty big, intimidating guy to most people), but I’m thinking that I might be doing myself a disservice by not trying to push the envelope. (2 sprays of any product is as high as I’ve gone so far.)

EDIT/CLARIFICATION: When I ask if I can use higher -none products by adding extra Shine, I mean socially/“in public”, as opposed to at home. My wife doesn’t seem to mind them, and is probably used to them from me to some degree. I would love to play with higher -none in public, but simply don’t want to seem like a sexual predator…lol

You’re on target for that RU status, HT! That is, IMHO. :slight_smile:

I was a bit reluctant to push the mone envelope when I started out. But, quickly found that finding my ‘upper’ limits was important to understanding the combo’s that were possible. OD can come in multiple forms, but, I’ve seen, mostly, that people will ignore you or find that your sig is not possible/probable from you.

I started up this thread on that point… along with a few others.

Keep it fun and don’t worry that the mones will continually be highlighting YOU. So, you are the most important part of the social equation…

:slight_smile:

Keep reporting like you are and in no-time flat you’ll be there. I would say that long, thorough reports are fantastic for the data, but not always necessary. I just posted this in someones thread too that if ever need be, a quick line or two is just as valuable.

You’re doing a great job reporting so whatever style you chose to report in is completely up to you. I will say this though in the words of John Madden: “I’d rather have a good play all the time, than a great play once in a while.” Change out play for post and you get where I am coming from :slight_smile:.

First off, I’d like to thank you both, Steve and 1Alpha, for your replies. I read through your link, 1Alpha, and I understand what you’re talking about. This past week, especially, has helped to show me how important the person is in how the pheromones come across. I also understand what you mean, Steve, about how long posts aren’t always needed, so much as the information is there. My first post was intentionally a bit longer, since I had to get my baselines for the first two weeks onto paper, so to speak. From here on out, they will be a bit shorter, since there’s no real need to rehash.

So, with no further guilding the lily, here we go:

Test Series 3 (April 7-13):

Products used:
- Ammo, IO, IH, IShine, MX450: Same as Series 2
- P79: Typical dose, 1 spray to each side of neck. Best worn with MX450 and/or Ammo, for sexual purposes. Best worn with the socials for added closeness.

Test Series 3 Environment:
- Indoor Locations: Small Car, Diners, Large Stores, Hospital, Home
- Outdoor Conditions: 37-69F, 54F mean average; winds up to 34mph (10mph average); 4 days of rain.

Primary Subjects:
- Wife. Female; early 30s; Caucasian; B-; acute sense of smell.Typical exposure time of 3-7 hours per day. Typical proximity of <10-15 feet.
- Cats. Females, aged 7-16.

Notable Collateral Subjects:
- Bank Tellers. Typical sample is female, aged 30-40+. Typical exposure time is <10 minutes per encounter, once per week. Typical proximity during all encounters is about 3 feet.
- Wait Staff. Typical sample is female, aged 30-55+. Typical direct exposure time is <15 minutes per meal, at a proximity of <3 feet.
- Hospital Staff. Typical sample is female, aged 30-55. Typical direct exposure time is <15 minutes per service, at a proximity of <3 feet. Deviation set includes 1 male doctor, aged 45-55.

Self Effects:
- Ammo, IO, IH, IShine. Same as Series 2.
- MX450. No noticeable drowsiness or sleep/dream alterations, presumably due to tolerance increase.
- P79. While using this putative, I appeared to be more drawn to seek out a closer proximity to my wife than usual. However, this could have also been a natural outgrowth of my wanting to test this putative’s effectiveness on her.

Subject Effects:
- Ammo, IO, IH, IShine, MX450. Same as Series 2.
- P79. Due to limited durations of collateral subject interactions during this series, reactions were hard to discern fully. However, the female hospital staff exposed to this putative appeared to be finding reasons to spend extra time touching me, even with my wife in the room. My wife, on the other hand, appeared to show signs of deepened emotional experience, suggestive of an enhancing effect on whatever mental state she happened to be experiencing. As promised, she also presented as being appropriately “soaked” during intercourse, and was far easier to talk into participating than expected, especially since she was concerned about the possible negative effects on my health. What’s more, we have had intercourse no less than 3 times this week, which is something that has only happened a handful of times over the past 7 years or so of our relationship.

Best Reactions:

- Get-It-On Mix 1: 1 Shine each to throat and hair, 1 Instant Openness to each forearm, 1 MX450 to each inside of elbow, 2 Ammo to chest, 1 P79 to each side of neck.
- Get-It-On Mix 2: 1 Instant Openness to each forearm, 1 Turn Up The Heat to each inside of elbow, 1 Ammunition to chest, 1 P79 to neck.

- Best Cover Scent: No cover scent used during this series.

Final Thoughts:

The P79 seems to be something of a mimic, heightening whatever emotional states the persons subjected to it are having. I did not really notice any deepening of negative emotional states, though. Rather, increased emotional closeness, caring, concern, and sensuality appeared to be the big reactions to this one.

As there were some pretty good reasons for people to experience most of those feelings around me this week, however, it is hard to say if those reactions were the putative’s normal responses, or if those were simply the primary emotional states being experienced by people at the time. (Long story short, I went to give blood over the weekend, and my systolic pressure dropped so low that I had a syncope, and almost had heart failure.) As such, I will need to continue testing on this one once people stop worrying about the possibility of me randomly dropping dead. In the mean time, though, I will continue to reap the benefits of the sudden influx of wife booty.

I have also ordered a 30ml bottle of 20mcg strength P83. I have the feeling, given all of the reports I’ve read on it, that when mixed with MX450 and P79, it will lead to some very interesting reactions from women; most especially my wife. :wink:

Finally, I have been talking to a friend of mine in the Bay Area about my pheromone experiences, and he is very interested in trying it out himself. He, like myself, is a tall, kind-hearted, thick Caucasian man in his early 30s. Unfortunately, he has also been out of work the past 2 months, and has been unable to find female companionship for some time as well. So, I will be trying to do what I can to help him out as my finances (or extra samples) allow. He’s not much of an Alpha personality type, though, despite being reasonably outgoing and assertive. Any ideas/suggestions for something that would be congruent for a laid-back, “lover-not-a-fighter” guy looking to score both a job, and a woman? (A one-shot product that would help with both, would be ideal.)

First, let me just say that the past two weeks has run by in a blur. I’ve really stumbled across some amazing mixes during that time, that seem to have me getting “sidetracked” a bit too often to get any work done. lol

As such, for this week’s post at least, I will not be going into the usual clinical mode, and will instead just relay the info. :wink:

For starters, adding the 20mcg P83 in particular was an incredibly smart move on my part, as it has ended up dominating my testing for the past week and a half. Black women seem to really respond favorably to it, as several that have only been mildly provoked before, have repeatedly been finding ways to touch me and stay in my personal space now. Hispanics seem to go either way with it (attracted or neutral), and Asian women don’t seem to be immediately effected by it. I have the feeling that the Asian women might respond to it given a longer exposure, though, as I started to catch glimpses of behavior change, but wasn’t around any long enough to be certain. Caucasians seem to generally be effected well by it, but don’t seem to respond favorably at 40+mcg levels in the mixes I was using; 20mcg seemed to be perfect, though.

What was interesting about the P83, was that while it seemed to allow women to forget about personal space issues to the point where they would literally stand up against me for prolonged periods, at higher doses they would also completely ignore/forget about me. It was as if I simply shifted into an alternate world where nobody could see or hear me.

As for the Instant Jerk, as odd as this might sound, it seemed to mimic exactly how people typically treat me, only in a more “perfected” or “refined” form (people seemed consistently happy to have me “let it all hang out”, even encouraging me to make raunchy jokes and check out women). My wife seemed to react particularly favorably to it, too, even talking dirty and nearly jumping me on the car ride over to her younger sister’s place one night. Once we got to her sister’s, the (early 20s) Playboy model quality roommate answered the door in her underwear and a little half-top. While she was originally being shy behind the door-jam, she quickly did a confused triple take on me, then slowly opened the door and walked away, showing herself off to me as she went back towards her room. She seriously took a slow cat-walk style trip, swaying her hips back and forth, and even turned to take a look at me before she hit her room… with my wife standing right there!

Everything that has happened since that night, however, has been so incredible that I honestly forgot about that scene until I looked over my notes. To put it bluntly, my wife and I have had sex nearly every day for over a week now, and she has even been “getting me started” every time… something which has normally only happened once or twice a year our entire relationship. We’ve even had morning and afternoon sex for a change. :slight_smile:

Suffice it to say, there are a few mixes that I will be playing with again at some point soon, and I have also found a great “daily wear” as well, that I will be refining as time goes on. To put it simply, if I had any remaining reservations about the effectiveness of pheromones, they went out the window the instant I started moving into the putatives.

So, for those of you looking for something to try, here are my top mixes for the past two weeks:

“Super Fly”/ Daily Wear Mix 1.0: 1 Ammo to neck, 1 Instant Openness to each wrist, 1 Instant Honesty to each inner elbow, 1 Shine to hair and chin, 1 P83 to forehead.

Result: With this mix, women seem to magically fall out of the sky everywhere I go. They aren’t all doe-eyed and passive like some other mixes have made them, either. Rather, they suddenly start calling me pet names, communicating with me like we are already in a relationship, and finding ways to stay near me as much as possible. Having fun, open conversations was extremely easy and rarely required me initiating anything, and personal space was non-existent. Women who talked to me for even a few seconds would end up coming back several times over, pulling me into deeper and deeper conversations each time. What’s more, those females who were already in a more established “relationship” with me began to exhibit much of the same posturing my wife has displayed on previous tests, even placing themselves between myself and potentially available attractive females.

To put it simply, women simply love being paid attention to with this mix on, and crave (in a “non-exclusive is O.K.” way) every scrap of time you can give them. What’s more, they seem to actively work to have other women pay attention to you as well. While there is a definite undertone of competition to their showing you off, they seem to be extremely pleased to be “sharing” you with others, and are even more pleased when others agree that you are the Avatar of Awesomeness. In fact, I’d have to say that if I ever expected a typical woman to instantly be comfortable with me suggesting a 3-way/orgy, it would likely be while using something very similar to this mix; they would likely love your attention as much as they would love how much you were enjoying the extra attention, AND how much the others were enjoying you. Really interesting dynamics to this mix, all the way around.

“Sister’s House”/Weekend Mix 1.0: At Noon: 1 P79 to each side of neck, 1 Instant Openness to each wrist, 1 Turn Up The Heat to inside of each elbow, 1 Instant Shine to chin and hair, 1 Ammunition to chest. At 6:20, less than 10 minutes before my wife picked me up: 1 P79 to each side of neck, 1 Instant Jerk to throat.

Result: This mix is one that I had expected to fail, due to attempting an overdose of -none. However, not only did I get a free show from my sister-in-law’s roommate with this mix, but I had INCREDIBLE sex with my wife that night, setting off a chain reaction of wife-booty that still hasn’t ended nearly two weeks later. When I was wearing that mix, she got DIRTY, she got PRIMAL, and she BEGGED FOR MORE! As I will only be able to test this mix on the weekends (for obvious reasons), it will likely take some time for me to determine if it can be improved in any way. However, I promise to be brave and take one for the team by dedicating myself to perfecting this one. :wink:

Alright, I think I have a new weekend mix. Just to see what would happen, I played with a variant of the “Sister’s House” mix today, and the results were so great that I just had to pop on for a quick post. :slight_smile:

Weekend** Mix 1.1:** 1 P79 to each side of neck, 1 Instant Openness to each wrist, 1 Turn Up the Heat to inside of each elbow, 1 Instant Shine each to chin and hair, 1 Ammunition to chest, 1 Instant Jerk to throat.

Result: While the reaction to this mix was initially far less noticeable than what happened the night we went to my sister-in-law’s place last week, I did notice that my wife was more “smiley” and relaxed than usual. She also kept contact with me more than usual, and seemed preoccupied with her desire to “just get home” (supposedly due to being tired). Once home, she promptly got herself ready to take a nap while I set to work cleaning my art studio. A little while later, while taking a break to get a drink, I noticed she was still up, and I made a joking comment about how I expected her to be fully rested so that we could fool around later. To my surprise, she offered me the option of taking care of it right then and there, and even had me shower so she could get me started (yep… AGAIN…lol).

So, long story short, we’ve ended up having incredible sex twice today already, with an amazing “play time” in between where she even urged me to enjoy her breasts; something she NEVER does due to being overly self conscious of how huge they are (she’s a petite yet curvy 5’3" with a G cup). What’s more, she was even on-board with having a third go of it tonight, but is currently getting some well earned rest.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… this stuff is awesome! Right when you’re starting to think your mix isn’t working for you, “BAM!”, it smacks you in the face with just how well it’s really doing the job. :wink:

Afterthought: I should also note for the record, that the P79 really seems to get the greatest play as a way to enhance physical contact. Proximity alone doesn’t seem to do much to bring out the reactions, although I’m sure it helps get things going in the right direction. All of the mixes I have used with it seem to use a simple hug/kiss/rub as the spark to light the fire; or, in the case of this mix, the bon fire. lol

Damn dude, sounds like you are having some fun! What kind of artist are you?

10

I’m a studio arts major, which is mostly painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and art history. I have a background in computer graphics, web design, carpentry, basketry, leatherwork, and theatre arts (special FX, stage design, costuming and makeup) too, though… so I guess you can say I do a little bit of everything, but nothing that pays my bills at the time being. Lol

11

My wife is an artist who is multi-talented like you. I understand what you mean about the bill paying, lol ..

12

Artist wives are sexy. Does she make pottery like they did in ghost :slight_smile:

13

I wish, she’s mostly into oils these days. It’d be awesome to get some new pottery around here. :slight_smile:

14

I’m doing a lot of acrylics and charcoal right now, myself. I’m just waiting to do the ceramics and sculpting. I have the feeling they’re what will really turn out to be what I’ll be sticking with. If nothing else, they’ll help me get into more serious FX programs later on.

By the way, cordless… what movie is your avatar from? It looks familiar, but I can’t place it.

15

lol, he’s Sho’Nuff from The Last Dragon ..

16

THAT’s what it was…with Taimak and Vanity…talk about a blast from the past. Lol

17

Wow… It’s been so long since I last checked in here that I don’t even know where to begin.

To make a long story short, the pheromones have made a huge impact on my life, from how I relate to others, to the way my wife “relates” to me. I don’t use the sprays every day like I did at first either, instead opting to use all but the Shine as “special occasion” helpers. I’ve also learned how true it is that “less is more” with the -mone mixing. This weekend, for instance, I used a combo of Shine (which I’ve learned to use for pretty much any social setting) and Honesty to back up my negotiation skills at the car dealer, and landed myself a bargain so incredible that even the bank teller couldn’t believe it when I told her.

Now, as my bottle of Shine is finally beginning to die out, my Honesty is working hard to produce anything of use, and even my Openness is nearly gone, I’m back for more. I just wish I would have kept up on my posts over summer break, rather than spending it relaxing and playing with my sprays, as I might have gotten the bump up to reporting user status already. Now that I’m back in school again, however, and therefore have a steady stream of test subjects, I plan on getting back in the swing of things. And, if I happen to get some form of a probationary reporting user status before I restock, I certainly won’t complain. My books and tuition are already taken care of, but I still have supplies for my classes to buy, too, and the discount would come in handy. lol

18

As a quick update, I just placed an order for full sized bottles of Instant Shine, Instant Gentleman, and Instant Honesty. I know it may not be the most intriguing mix of products you’ll find on here, but Shine is a near daily use one for me, and Honesty has really become my “go to” for social situations where I need an “edge”. The Instant Gentleman on the other hand, is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while, and seems like a good mix with both my personality and the rest of my arsenal.

What I’m thinking, having played around with a few sexual mixes last time around, is that while it’s fun to get the extra flirting, it’s ultimately not cost effective for me to focus on the more sexually charged products for daily use since I’m married/monogamous; as such, I will largely be keeping my Ammo, TUTH, etc., for my wife’s enjoyment. That being said, my new school mix will likely be Instant Shine + Instant Honesty + Instant Gentleman (w/ Ammo or Instant Jerk subbed for IG every so often to keep the “crush factor” there) as I’m dealing primarily with alot of 18-25 year old Caucasian females this semester, and very few women over the age of 30 or men. That way, I can come across as the “hunky”, cool, knowledgeable guy everyone wants to buddy up to.

On a side note, the reason for my decision to switch to Instant Honesty rather than Instant Openness, is that while I enjoy having IO get things going for me, IH is what the interactions are really all about. With it, if I so much as casually start a conversation with someone, I can keep things rolling, and people bend over backwards to help me out and come back to talk to me. With IO, on the other hand, it merely creates a higher chance of people coming up to me to initiate conversations on their own (and vice versa), without providing anywhere near as high of a likelihood of being repeated. So, from here on out, my IO supply will be mainly for helping break the ice in new social settings.
