**Who I am** – 29yo, very introverted, geeky-type guy; generally smart, but socially _absolutely_ dumb. I’ve never stood out at parties and never had much–scratch that, _any_ luck with the ladies. But I have good hygiene, I’m well built, I wear trendy clothes, and I’m working on my self-esteem. My aim is to be more social and eventually find a girlfriend. **What I got** – following advice in my introductory thread, I got [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/), IO, IH, and Ammo, all to-go bottles. **What is this** – A report… or a rant, a diary. Read it if you like 😉 **Week 1, testing Instant Shine** I was slightly euphoric before trying it out–expectations and all. I split one shot between my forearms. At first I liked the smell, it seemed very delicate and flowery, but still manly enough to wear. I went to the gym. All throughout the workout session people talked a lot more with me than has ever happened, both people I knew and strangers. They started conversation and responded positively. An attractive girl, whom I had smiled to in the past without getting any response, shot a smile my way and said hello. A girl I know even shot me a kiss! The female instructor seemed happy near me and didn’t miss a chance to show me how the exercises were done. The guys were more ‘open’ than normal too. After a while the scent didn’t seem ‘flowery’ at all, more like sweet–too sweet, almost sickening. Probably forearms are too next to my nose at the gym and it’s not the proper place to spray it. Results were great! I had a smile all throughout! I can’t really attribute it to the pheros, it could just be me being more happy and positive than usual. But does it matter? Next day, tested it at dinner with friends. One shot, back of hair. The thing I noticed the most was that they paid much more attention to me than usual! I’d highly recommend Instant Shine if people don’t pay attention to you, maybe because you’ve always had a low self-image or such. It seems to work very well. At the gym again. NO dosage, control experiment. Wow, people were back to not talking to me at all! Granted, I had a blue mood, but the kiss-shooting girl from 3 days ago worked out for 10 minutes besides me and didn’t even say hello! Again, it could be because of my mood. It’s difficult to tell. At work. One shot, hair. That morning I had to work with another guy on a joint project, something that doesn’t happen too often. Everything went smooth as silk! He’s usually the annoyed, cross kind of person, but we were able to work at the same piece of source code for four hours without taking each other’s eyes out with random office supplies. We even reached our goals in record time! Fit-boxe lesson at the gym. One shot to the hair. The girl who’s been catching my eye recently, and who hadn’t been responding very well (if at all) to my compliments and tentative flirting, suddenly developed an interest in what I had to say! We chatted a lot, considering the busy environment. At the end of the lesson, we talked for a good 10 minutes, about who knows what, and we didn’t break eye contact for a second! All the while we were both smiling and facing each other. I felt so confident and happy. New fit-boxe lesson, same dosage. We talked a bit, still in a more-than-friendly way, but not as much or as animately as last time. I probably got the wrong vibe out. I still need to work on my posture and tone of voice. I mean, I have many years of bad habits to get rid of. We’ll see what happens. Still quite a hit, considering she wouldn’t even talk to me before I wore this product! ---

**Week 2, testing Ammo** Birthday party at a female friend’s. One and a half shots of Ammo to the back of my hair. All I can say is… WOW! I’ve never stood out at parties, so imagine my reaction when I became the CENTER of the party! All the girls wanted to dance with me, talk with me, and they all assumed a deferential attitude, like they were honored to have my attention! I played along, but… wow! Unfortunately most of them were older and married/engaged. One who was single and rather attractive, looked (and acted) like she would throw herself onto me at a moment’s notice! She was completely beside herself, really horny. I danced a bit with her, nothing too physical, and I wondered whether to let her have her way… but finally chose not to. I’m really new to relationships and dating and attraction, and I need to take it slowly. It’s all quite confusing. (Yes, I know people usually go through this phase at 16 or so… so what, I’m a bit slow 😉 Testing ammo at the gym. It’s not as effective as [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/), or rather it’s me who still has to understand it. The girl I fancy wasn’t there, so I’m withholding judgement till I test it on her. Still better social results than wearing nothing. Neutral or positive reactions from guys too. ---

Androstenone can get really stinky if you perspire a lot while wearing it. Good hits so far, I have a sneaking suspicion about you, but I won’t expose it until later. 🙂 ---

I’ve perspired a lot both times I’ve used Ammo, and I didn’t smell anything at all. Is it something others can smell but you don’t? > [@](#): > > Good hits so far, I have a sneaking suspicion about you, but I won’t expose it until later. 🙂 Aw come on, don’t be a tease! What is it?
