Hey, Quite a few guys here now have [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/). How do you like it? Anything to improve upon? I’m probably going to be doing a promotion using Instant Shine alone, so I’m wondering… Any good results from using it by itself, NOT in combination with other products? ---

MH, I have been going through some seriously messed up family issues as of late. A very depressing time in my life. I am standing at a fork in the road and I have to choose which road I am to travel on. Anyway, I recieved my Instant Shine a couple days ago along with a314. I started with just the IS with 3 sprays. I noticed a sharpness in my head, clarity I guess but it was a little intense. 2nd day I wore 2 sprays on my neck and the intenseness went down. 3rd day I wore 3 drops of a314 and 1 spray of IS. This is now my base, I am smiling, head held high, good attitude reguardless of my present enviroment. I think it works great so far. Once my stress levels lower down some I might be over the top happy!🙂 ---

IS added to my mix made the moods of me and the people around me brighten a lot…lots of laughing and I felt really good. People seem drawn closer to you and your aura. I never really experienced this effect prior to IS. So no, I didn’t use it all by itself, but my mix and others around me never behaved this way until I added IS (2-3 sprays) in my A314 mix. ---

> [@josef](#): > > hey Harris don’t be pulling some new coke shit on us now 😃 > > tweak it all you want as long as you keep this particular formula around or else i’ma hafta hurtya.😉 Nah, I’m not gonna do that. Based on feedack, there may be little tweaks here and there (much as I’ve done with A314 over the years), but nothing drastic. [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) Classic is “the real thing, baby”… 😉 Screwing up a good product isn’t my motive. Here’s what is… Recently, I was thinking to myself “If guys could only try one of our products, which should it be?” I’m pretty sure Instant Shine would be a terrific introduction to our products. You notice the effects right away, and it’s hard to mess it up. Sure, the name sounds almost goofy. Shine? What’s that? You mean it’s “man wax”?? 🙂 As silly as it seems, almost everyone who tries it instantly understands the name. Now I just need to get some some solid third party comments and stories about Instant Shine so I can make a halfway decent ad for it. Examples and stories that’ll help people who have no clue what pheromones do understand exactly what Shine will do for them. ---

I wanted to also mention: I don’t know about everyone else, but I really like the smell of IS. Is the scent the same as the [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) add-on scent option for the experimone line? ---

> [@Cloud9](#): > > I wanted to also mention: I don’t know about everyone else, but I really like the smell of IS. Is the scent the same as the Neroli add-on scent option for the experimone line? You have [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) with the brushed silver label, right? (I think you got one very early, that’s why I ask) If so, yes, that orange type scent is the same as the add-on Neroli, and the same as almost everything in the Instant line. Helps to gently hide pheromonal odors, effectively move (diffuse) the molecules from your skin to the air around you, and act as a time-release agent. ---

Aside from the pheromone composition of IS, nothing is different from the rest of the line, except IFM, with has no fragrance additives. The only way I can explain it is: How you _feel!_ You said nothing could make you more confident awhile back when I asked how [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) makes you feel… but you’re obviously getting some sort of neurological reward from repeatedly smelling the IS! ---

IFM and IS together have increased my female tolerance threshhold by a reasonably significant amount and i think that is a nice thing because sometimes i really do enjoy having them around. ---

Uh oh. This sort of ties together to your other post. 😉 Just joshin’ ya. But what did a woman do to you when you were little? Bite your penis? Why the almost “hate”? > [@josef](#): > > IFM and IS together have increased my female tolerance threshhold by a reasonably significant amount and i think that is a nice thing because sometimes i really do enjoy having them around. Interesting. So even IFM makes you fonder of women? Me, too. I get somewhat of a small “beer goggles” effect from IFM. Sort of like a romantic halo. I “see women in a better light”, if that makes any sense. So I guess we might be getting a similar effect… this sort of empathy for women with the IFM. But at the same time, women love IFM (and experience it however they experience it), so it’s a good dual edged sword in this case. The downside of IFM to me is that I’m not as expressive for the first hour or so after applying it. So I’m more loving with women, but not as energetic and entertaining around them as I prefer to be, either. I don’t get depressed as I used to with androstadienone, though, so that’s good. It’s a major plus. ---

BTW, it’s interesting that you like [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) because it makes women get physically closer, yet you like to keep them “away”. So when you say this makes women you tolerable, you really mean in the mental sense of how the pheromones affect you, right? Because if you really didn’t like women, you wouldn’t like Instant Shine. Instant Shine acts like a flesh magnet. It’s like sex gravity or something, bringing two bodies together… 🙂 What I mean is, there’s no real personal space when you wear Shine around a woman. If you really didn’t like women, you wouldn’t like that. ---

Okay, I better understand what you’re saying now. You’re very clear now. Yes, in a relationship, especially a committed one where expensive hand jewelry is involved, most women tend to change. In ANY relationship where you end up supporting the other financially, though… let me ask you this…who doesn’t change drastically when transitioning from self-supporting to dependent? Previously employed people that somehow end up on welfare (“the dole” for you eurpeans) for long periods of time change in character, too. So do children, in a reverse transition. They’re dependent for a long time in every way. In their teen years, most ask for far too much… then when they’re independent, and on their own two feet, they start to act differently. They become responsible, and often likable human beings. So maybe the changes we see in _intimate relationships_ have something to do with universal dynamics that go beyond the male and female diferences we tend to prescribe them to. I’ve heard that Britney’s spears hubby, Kevin Federline, become quite an unattractive parasitic sycophant after being with her for awhile. Generally, I like to get into relationships with women that have no need for me whatsoever. That way, the relationship is based on mutual want, and that’s it. ---

> [@josef](#): > > one might even go so far as to attribute them to the false fronts we wear in order to contrive a long-term relationship out of what was originally inteded by both parties to be a booty call.😕 Right. There’s that, too. There’s also what happens to our conscious intentions after the biochemical love juice kicks in and further “changes” our mind for us. Both men and women have distinctly different reactions after sex. Women almost always become more bonded, even if that wasn’t their wish. Sometimes men, too, become more deeply involved emotionally post-coitous than they were pre. ---

I try to achieive this by [Instant Female Magic](https://a314.com/product/instant-female-magic/), it works really a female attractant for me but as I feel its a double edged sword it affect me to be attracted to them as well which I dont want. I like IFM very much but dont like its mellowing effetcs, is there anyway to counter that?
