My androsterone levels are also high at the moment, I found in a study I posted in the study section they are related to your dhea levels. So when I use blends now like Ammo or something with androsterone with a further status boost I tend to now get more “Am I in your way” type intimidation hits despite having a friendly face/demeanor and sometimes even can ghost when its too high.
For me I find that using buffers like Hedione or Androstadienone, P96, IS, Epiandrosterone, IO or A/B Nols etc it buffers my signature back down and start getting good hits again.
Some guys have low natural pheromone levels, they tend to use things like 2x ammo, and in those cases seem to need more sexual/status mones and less buffers or socials in a mix to bring their signature up. Should they use just a lot of hedione or alpha androstenol for example, they may come off as weak and beta since the natural signature isnt too strong to balance it and should likely use some androsterone/androstenone to balance. Ammo Summer Edition with its extra buffers would be good for me to bring my signature down but Ammo would be the right choice for those who need to bring the signature up. I have to use IS or other buffers with Ammo as it adds too much alpha to my high alpha base signature and got good results with that combo of Ammo/IS. Those who dont get good hits with Ammo likely have the same issue of needing more buffers.
Its all just a balance where the middle gives the best hits, not too alpha to come off intimidating and not too beta to come off weak and too friendly. Once I finally learned that I found I could make most all blends work by adjusting more sexual/status or more social/buffers. Most of the time for me blends with more social/buffers then status/sexual currently work best.
I will also have to try some androstenone again like my remaining Tuth or Tuth + Hedione to see how it goes again. A few months ago Tuth solo at 5mcg gave me good hits from african americans but everyone else was intimidated, even tried later at 2.5. I moved to copulins but that may not have been needed since my base sig still had sexual/status in it.
