So I’m an 18 year old guy going to UCLA for college. I’m not the type of person to go up to strangers and chat them up, but more like the guy that would rather keep to himself and do his own thing - and is great once you get to know him. Not that I’m not social, I just can’t be asked to give a damn and involve myself in everything around me. Understandably that can make me look submissive, which can be a pain in the ass when working with people sometimes. Which brings me to this site, which I just stumbled upon from google. I’m not really looking to pick up dates with [pheromone sprays](https://a314.com/product-category/spray-pheromones/), but I guess I wouldn’t mind opening up, either. The main thing I’m looking for is the “this guy’s legit” aura - it looks like A314 is the best option. I’m curious about any combinations that might work for it as well. (Side note, but I can’t help but laugh at the product descriptions. I mean, “You’ll find more people than ever “bending over backwards” to be of service to you, and, surprise, surprise… they’ll love every minute of it.” Really? Heh.) ---

Hey and welcome to the forums I would recommend you start out with something a little less powerful than A314. The effects of this are very subtle and may be hard to notice when you are new to [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/). I would recommend you get IG which is considered by some a softer version of A314. In addition to recommending IG, A314 has none in it, and at your age you are already producing a bunch of this. You could potentially OD on it. Remember though, be sure to test the pheromones individually with some sweet spot testing. For things that work well with IG, I would recommend IS and IO. But for now, test the products that don’t really have none in it. Save it for when you are more adept with noticing the subtleties of the effects they give you so you know when you’re ODing. ---

Hey it’s only obligatory if you fancy free cash (; Welcome! I love weekends there are so many new people here and new posts to read on the forums/journals. I understand totally about wanting to be by yourself. Loads of us here are natural loners, me included. Too much of other people’s drama and bullsh! Definitely check out the social products such as IO and IH. They’ll help you chat to people you barely know, or strengthen your conversations with people you do know. Why are you looking for the “this guy’s legit” aura? To seem like the nice guy everyone can rely on? > [@Updated AndroticsDirect Pheromones for newbies](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/updated-androticsdirect-pheromones-for-newbies/39802): > > AD offers a wide array of pheromones out there. There’s been more and more new users asking about products and what not. To start off here are some basic guides for pheromones. This is a great writeup by Steve O to test pheromones out that you receive.

Hey roland, thanks for the advice. IG seems like the better option for me, for sure, looking at some user comments. I was kinda put off by “A sense of safety and comfort.” - not really what I was looking for. And thanks Fade1, too. About the “legit” aura - in the last month I’ve had a lot of crap dumped on me by some coworkers. They probably thought “Ah, he’s 22003, he’s cool, he won’t care” (aka a doormat), because I really don’t stand out as an assertive guy there (have a crap job, take it on the chin, work my hours and go). So I’m just looking to give off a vibe that gets a little more respect, yeah? ---

Hi ph22003. I´ve been using mones for about six weeks now. My firts clear hits were from IG. I use it, combined with IS, when i´m chilling with friends or havin a couple of beers with my buddies. Men and women react really good to this combo. I even used it for a job interview, with some IH, and worked really good. I´ve been also using A314 for work, with greats results too, but it´s more subtle, and at first didn´t really get how it worked. I guess i´m staring to get it now. Anyway, my vote goes for IG, and if you want to add something more, IS will do the trick.🙂 Good luck. Talk to you soon. ---

Welcome to pherotalk PH! I agree that A314 is not a good choice especially since IG seems to fit the description for what you want more. Let us know what you decided on **Your gc was issued! 😉**
