I sit and stare at the 20 vials of Pheromones in front of me wondering what I should wear. The number of combinations is staggering. There are approximately 380 combinations of the choice of using 2 Pheromone products (i.e. IG + P75). If I add a third Pheromone there are 6,840 different combinations Combinations and Permutations. Like I said…staggering.
There are so many combinations that I could wear. Yes, I did spend some time thinking about what I should wear. Should I try the MX403. should I instead wear some TUTH with A314, should I wear A314 as a base with some other Pheromone, should I wear P83 and AMMO, should I test the MX409 and dozens of other questions enter my mind as I try to decide what to wear. Finally I decided that K.I.S.S.- “Keep It Simple Stupid” would be the best way to handle this dilemma.
KISS is an acronym for the design principle “Keep It Simple, Stupid!”. Other variations include "Keep It Short and Simple, “Keep It Simple and Stupid”, “Keep It Simple and Straightforward”. The KISS principle states that simplicity should be a key goal in design, and that unnecessary complexity should be avoided. The acronym was first coined by Kelly Johnson, lead engineer at the Lockheed Skunk Works (creators of the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird spy planes, among many others). While popular usage translates it as “Keep It Simple, Stupid”, Johnson translated it as “Keep It Simple Stupid”, and this reading is still used by many authors. There was no implicit meaning that an engineer was stupid; just the opposite. (KISS principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
I decide to wear a mix that worked in the past with no problem. 3x sprays of AMMO and 3x sprays of Instant Shine.
It has been a while since I’ve been out testing so I go to my old testing place. Its where I did my MX297 and MX301 tests. I’m not a big fan of this place because they have 3 large ceiling fans that always seem to be running. The only thing in their favor is that there are always women there and the barmaid is cute. I get to the place to find it empty. The barmaid tending the bar is an older woman. I ask what happened. She tells me that she is the new owner and she is trying to get an older crowd. Yes older…like non existent. Frustrated, I ask her when it gets busy and she says in about an hour. I leave there to go to another bar about a mile away. I am not in a great mood now because my expectations were shattered.
I get to the other bar and there are women in there but well…they are all unattractive…and “big boned”. Despite my incongruency with the Pheromones that I was wearing I get 2 hits. While I sip on my beer one woman comes to sit next to me. Her friends are sitting 1 seat away. She did have other friends at the bar she was with so I don’t consider that a hit. The google eyes she gave me I do consider a hit. Later on another woman followed me outside and we chatted. I go back in, finish my beer and head back out to the first bar. I figures there should be someone there by now. I get back to the first bar to find 4 old men. The air conditioner was on full blast and the ceiling fans were going full speed. It had to be about 40 degrees in that place. I sit anyway and have a beer. About 10 minutes into my beer I say to myself “frack this!” I guzzle down the rest of my beer and go home.
All in all it was OK. The combo of AMMO and Instant Shine did what it was supposed to do. I am happy with this simple but effective combo.
Now for next week…What should I wear? Where should I go to test…
. I usually never mix more that 3 pheros at a time but thats me.
