Instant Honesty (IH) vs Instant Openness: the serious talker and the fun talker

[Cloud9]

You can think of Openness as quantity of communication, where Honesty increases the quality/depth

From what I understand IH increases the seriousness and deepness of the conversation. It allows hidden private things of the other person to come out much more easily..as if they had a few beers or something. I believe it can be a usefull tool in building up comfort levels and a deep history with new relationships. It would also be good to use around someone who seems to have something they are holding back.

While alpha-nol isn’t a “tough” one, like androstenone, androsterone or androstadienone, little tweaks to “steer” it are still possible and can be VERY useful.

For example, it has a reputation as a communication pheromone, yet bare androstenol doesn’t create the quality of communication some people might expect. While #1 complaint about bare androstenol is probably “neurotic chatter” about “nothing”, I also see that it perhaps makes people too spacey and giggly for some needs.

Instant Openness, I feel, lives more up to to the communication reputation of anol, and less to the giggly side of the things (although it still has great “feel good” element to it)

Instant Openness still works like that (it’s great for people who start up convos), but communication is more meaningful, that’s all. A little less craziness, and more exchange.
