Intro from Royksopp !

Introductions - New Users, Say "Hello"!
1

Hey everyone, Royksopp here.

As for the basics; I’m a 26 year old white male living in Orange County, CA.

I’m a big guy, and I don’t mean a little chubby.. I’m pushing 369 (down from 435) though I have a lot of muscle mass, so while I’m still obviously a fat guy most people underestimate my weight by about 50-75lbs. I’ve been on a crusade to fix myself up. I’ve been eating better, losing weight and exercising more regularly – I still have a long way to go, and I’m cool with it… The juice is worth the squeeze. If anybody here is familiar with the Myers-Briggs personality test, I’m an INTP. That basically means I’m incredibly introverted and painfully quiet. I have trouble being honest (as in speaking up, not lying) and I’m really terrible at conveying my emotions – I’m also frighteningly blunt, which doesn’t bode well with most people.

My good qualities

I’m well spoken, confident and eager to take on new challenges and am able to work through those challenges with relative ease. My closer friends tell me I have a “Quiet confidence” about me, I’m intuitive and good at analyzing people and situations. I’ve also been dubbed the “wait, did you remember ____” guy, supposedly in a good way.

The Bad

A close friend admitted to treating me differently than others for reasons he can’t explain, he told me if and when I make a mistake it’s clear I pay double what others would. About a year ago I was in a business meeting brainstorming and throwing out ideas, my ideas were all shot down hard, yet praised when mentioned by others in the same meeting.

This was a realization – something had changed.

I have to try very hard to get any respect, I’m constantly being treated as a lesser person and talked down to often… This was not the case a few years ago, I’ve become self conscience, bitter and doubtful of myself and my abilities. I feel my unhappiness is visual at this point and that keeps people away, which makes me unhappy… I’ve always been quiet and introverted – but never needlessly put down, ignored, unwanted and excluded. I’m here because I’ve made myself a social outcast, maybe because I’m a big fat guy, possibly because I’m an introverted wallflower even amongst friends or simply because I’m honest when I shouldn’t be. I’m not sure, but the respect I commanded and had before is clearly gone.

What I want pheromones to do for me ?

Honestly? I just want what I had – I used to inspire people, I used to be approached for advice, I was respected, included and accepted. I still have a sharp tongue, I’m still clear headed, I come up with good ideas, have implemented processes that saved my company money, I’m still very confident… But nobody cares. I just want something that will give me the opportunity to let myself shine.

Thanks for taking the time to read my long winded message,

hi Royksopp,

welcome to Pheromone Talk,

looks like a case for some A314, or Instant Gentleman maybe. I haven’t tried IG, but A314 works very well for me. Also Ammo gives me some extra respect (of a more friendly buddy-buddy kind than A314) from other guys. Read up some product descriptions here on the forum and decide what would be best for you. Maybe a combination?
Good to have you here :slight_smile:

Hey there, Royksopp, the chemical sig that you’re looking for would come from A314, I think. Though, as Marihino alludes to IG, I’d agree that it could also give off a flag of ‘listen to me’, leader of the group, vibe. I do like IG as it’s a bit friendlier than A314, but still gives off a bit of a commanding vibe.

You may also look into IShine which is a glad to be around you, comfortable vibe, though, it could help to become approachable again. This and/or IO would get you there, I think. Though, you may be shooting down others approaches with that sharp tongue of yours… :slight_smile: Hey, I can’t tell all that much from your post, but I think its obvious that you have a good grasp on who you are and what you can offer others. Mones will HIGHLIGHT those positive aspects of you and you do have to put in the attitude and personality to get the most out of them… :slight_smile:

How’d ya find this lovely forum?

I’ll check in on ya later! :smiley:

You know, I’ve joined a few forums and I’ve never gotten such immediate and warm responses from people. This looks like a great and very supportive community.

Thank you very much, Marihino!

I was reading up on pheromones last night before signing up, the A314 was the first thing I read about, it sounds exactly like what I’m looking for – Possibly with something to make me more approachable as well.

Thank you for the welcome, 1Alpha!

Your ‘Personal Thoughts on Mones’ sticky is quite interesting, I enjoy the detail in your observations, it’s given me more of a foundation on what to look for. I can be a real charmer on the phone when needed, I seem to have lost my ability to keep peoples attention in person though, which is making me feel self conscience and bitter… After reading a bit of your sticky, I firmly believe I’m exuding these feelings through body language or subconsciously. If I feel bitter, I must be portraying it.

I happened across this forum by accident. I’ve got a few Amazon gift cards coming for christmas and nothing to spend them on, I saw “Scent of Eros” and wondered if it would work (Gift cards are a great excuse to try something new). One google search lead me here, where I started reading. I still have a ton of research to do, so far A314 looks essential for what I’m after.

Edit – I do have some questions

  • Does anybody here on the board think really strong or concentrated soaps will strip your body of natural pheromones ?
  • How quickly do you deplete your 'mone bottles ?
  • Are pheromones addictive, by that I mean do you have trouble leaving the house without them once you’ve gotten accustomed to using them ?

I’ll answer this in an order you asked:

  • yes, we wash them off,

  • 30ml spray bottles and 10ml oil bottle last me a couple of months, depending on the usage. 5ml ToGo bottles is a different story of course.

  • no, I don’t have trouble with that. In fact, I probably use them like 3 days a week on average, depending on what I do. But there are some people, especially in my professional circle, that I don’t let see me without any A314.

Thank you, Marihino !

I was most curious about that last question! It seem’s like once you dial everything in you may just want to keep them on !

Welcome to pherotalk Roy!

Fear and timidness is something ppl can smell and spot a mile away, I kid you not.

If you are shy and not so much a person who is willing to step out of their shell A314 won’t work that well for you but if you are then it will bring out the man who needs respect.

I suggest you also use products like Ammunition for a confidence boast and Shine to help boast your confidence and give of that vibe that draws others to you

Your gc was issued!:slight_smile:
