Weekend Update
Well. it’s been almost a week since I received my new Androtics products and just thought I’d log in the last couple of days here. Since I get up for work at 3AM, and go to bed around 8:30PM anymore, I took Thursday off as I knew I’d be up past my bedtime at the retirement party. So Thursday morning I decided to play with TAF.
Did five sprays from the 10mcg/spray bottle before I meditated, in an attempt to duplicate the psychedelic effect I experienced upon receiving the mones. The effect wasn’t as intense, but during meditation I was mellow and moved slowly and evenly. Some days, I feel like rushing through my chanting and cutting the meditation short. I didn’t feel that way on Thursday and only ended my session when my leg started bothering me. I sit in a half lotus position usually, and sometimes my legs fall asleep.
Later, though I wasn’t planning to use TAF the next day, I wanted to make sure that the combination that I had planned for my sushi date didn’t have any adverse effects. So I applied two drops of A314, two drops of A1, two sprays of Instant Shine, two sprays of Instant Gentleman, and a spray of Perception and it’s companion cologne. I got good reactions from several female cashiers while running errands. But in Best Buy it was kind of strange. I had been looking at portable DVD players and then stopped to look at some High Def TVs that were at the end of the aisle. A salesman walked up just as I was setting to walk away, greeting me. Halfway through his greeting, his gaze changed and he seemed to stare into space. I think he realized I wasn’t going to buy and was looking at he couple down the aisle as a more likely sale.
Friday was my sushi date. I applied two drops of A314 and two drops of A1 with lotion to my face, arms, and chest. I then followed that with two sprays of Instant Gentleman, two sprays of Instant Shine, and two sprays of Perception and its companion scent. I wanted to include Perception as this woman is one of the few that I’ve seen favorable reactions from when wearing it which stand out from my usual daily mone, Chikara. This was about three hours before I was to meet my friend, and I then applied another spray of Instant Shine to the top of my head about an hour before I was to meet her.
I think lunch went really well. There was no nervousness nor butterflies in the stomach while driving to the restaurant. I was comfortable with myself during the time we were together. She had her four year old daughter with her (I knew she’d be there beforehand), who had a couple of moments. I don’t know if it had anything to do with the mones or if she was just tired. Anwyay, there was no problem with my patience (I don’t like to be around kids) and she didn’t act any worse than I expected from a child her age. I can see it from her perspective too. Here they’re having a fun day shopping, then this weird guys comes along and steals mom’s attention away. With everything considered, I thought she was a good kid.
We have tentative plans to meet again there in a couple of weeks. Though I’m attracted to her, this woman is a coworker about half my age and in my group, though she has recently been assigned to another area at work. So it’s just a friendly thing right now and I don’t know at this point if I’d want to push for anything more (or if it’s wise being coworkers). I did get a hug after walking her to her car, which I wasn’t expecting.
Today I did seven sprays of TAF before meditation and a drop of WAGG in the moustach. A little spacier, but not what I’m looking for yet. I wasn’t going to use anything else, but I’m so impressed with Instant Shine so far, that I did two sprays of that and two sprays of Instant Gentleman before going out for shopping errands. Decided I didn’t want to use a cologne, so I just sprayed some Axe on for a light scent. I’m not a fan of Axe, usually use English Leather stick deodorant, but I have a couple of cans I bought after reading raves about the stuff elsewhere and decided to use some. Still not impressed, guess it’s a younger guy product.
Got a little chatty with the woman who runs a small independent bookstore I frequent every weekend. But that’s hit and miss with me, sometimes I’m more talkative there than others. Nothing else to report that I hadn’t already noticed from other days.
I should mention that Friday evening, I took my health walk, where I usually walk around 3 to four miles a session. Feeling good about the social events of the week, and especially that day, and I think still feeling the mones I had on, when I would get into the groove with the music on the MP3 player, I would feel like I was strutting. I ended up deviating from my planned route and adding about a mile to the walk. I cut it short at the end though as the battery in the player died when I was near my house and I got bored with my thoughts. I had planned a few more blocks before that happened.
So to sum things up in this first week of trials. TAF is interesting. I think I will enjoy playing with it. The jury’s still out on Instant Gentleman. The depression I felt on Wednesday may have just been a fluke. I will have to give it more time before I come to a decision on it. But I think Instant Shine may just live up to its name. I’m pretty amazed how I’ve been this week while wearing it, especially during the social events. I’m pretty much a hermit and can do without most people. I feel I did shine while wearing it and think it will be a product I use on a regular basis, if not daily.
Now that the rush to assure there would be no adverse effects with these products on my date is over, I intend to slow down and try them individually. I really want to give Instant gentleman a chance. Partly because the people in the store department were kind enough to include it in my order, partly because I’m so impressed with Instant Shine, and partly because I’m impressed with MHarris’ dedication to his research. I commented elsewhere that from reading here I think he may be on the leading edge of pheromone research, and my experience with Instant Shine this week has reinforced that opinion.
Sunday is usually my mone free day, so hopefully Monday I can have the restraint to start testing these products individually, starting with Instant Gentleman.
One of the bottles leaked a little, I think it was the TAF as it’s level is a little lower, but nothing to complain about, and it was wet compared to the other two. Going against everything I learned in chemistry class on smelling a vapor, I first took a good whiff of my hand that got the majority of spill on it, and immediately opened each bottle, taking a whiff of each in the process.
