I thought I would give this another shot. I like this idea as it enables me to more freely write about my observations of the human condition, as well as my continuing curiosity of [pheromone](https://a314.com/) science. My background: Gender: Male Age: 30 Ethnicity: Caucasian height: 6’2" weight: currently 227lbs Job: telecommunication installation What I find interesting about my job is that I get to meet new people every day and have a chance to see what people are really like when at home. Any of us that work in the service/retail industry know that the way people behave in a store is vastly different from how they behave when at home, which is where I come in. For my job, I am an avid and constant user of A314. Why? Allow me to explain: When you go into a store, you know the motto “the customer is always right.” So if you get someone who cops and attitude with you, you know that you can get the store to, in most cases, bend to your will as they don’t want to risk losing a customer or getting bad press. Now, when someone comes into your home, they’re in your personal space, seeing how you live your life, the subtle nature of your existence, the less than savory pass times that we don’t want the world to know about. So, in a lot of cases, the defenses go up and that can make things difficult for myself. This is where A314 comes in hand for me. Also keep a spare bottle (need to get the spray version) on hand in case I know I’ll be going to a customer with a known aggression issue. Is it the be all, end all of pheros that will allow my customers to bend to my will? Nope. but it is a sword and a shield that allows me to more easily get them to be more trusting of me and thereby, allowing me do what I need to without stupidity or interference, which unfortunately, happens quite often. Today is my last day off before heading back to the grind. An old friend of mine has recently broken up with her boyfriend and has decided to reconnect with me. Physically I’m not attracted towards her but she and I have always gotten along well and I think she might be very receptive towards pheros. So I’ll be meeting up with her in a little while and am opting for an A314/social mix. Most likely doing 3 drops of a314 rev23 and two shots of IOx2. It’s been a very long time since we’ve seen each other and I thought this would be a good way to start a base off with her. ---

Glad to see you starting a journal! Now, I personally suggest you go with 2 drops A314 + 1 or 2 shots of AMMO + IS. I think IS would work better than IO since she already knows you and you don’t really need to “open her up”. Making her feel good and happy is far better. Also adding [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/) will give you that extra “sexy” kick. She will want you even more 😉 ---

hey Phero 🙂 I was actually in the process of writing up my report when I got the alert that you replied. Actually, in regards to this woman, I have no sexual interest in her at all, even though we had lost touch, she’s kind of like a sister to me, but we get along very well, so I didn’t want ammo in the mix as I didn’t want to send any odd signals. She used to have a thing for me and I’d rather not bring that up since she just ended a three year relationship. The IO was there just in case she would be a bit tight lipped about what happened with her now ex boyfriend. You are right that IO wasn’t really needed and I actually did end up tossing in two shots of ISx2, which I think helped her relax a bit. We ended up picking up where we left off so the rapport was already there and she definitely did talk her head off, perhaps a bit more than normal so IO might have had something to do with it. Overall it was a decent day but no, with her, I wouldn’t use any none based mixes around her. She does have some depression issues stemming from her break up so this would be a good chance to restock on IS, she did seem a bit more peppy once we were in the car. And thanks, I was meaning to do this, not just to make observations on what I see with pheros but also a place to rant about the rubbish I see on a daily basis. My job makes for an interesting sociological study. ---

Bahhhh!!! I hit the back button by accident and lost everything I just wrote! Ah well, Rehash: Yesterday, 2 drops a314, each side of the neck. Location: Grocery store. Target: I wasn’t intending on someone specific but the hit I got came from a cashier, East Indian, early 20’s. Traditional Hindi nose ring suggests parents are immigrants and she has East/West mixed social values, suggesting possible higher none/rone signature might be plausible. I know it’s been somewhat touched upon but I’ll be going into more detail as to my observations with how social values can impact a person’s response to pheros. Anyway, normally when I run into this girl, I get the typical polite but automatic smile, nothing out of the norm. This time around, I’m frumpy looking from a long day at work, I get in line, looking pretty exhausted I’m sure. At first she doesn’t notice that I’m in line but about ten feet away and a minute later, she looks up, sees me and this time I get a nice, big grin, not that polite closed lip grin, a toothy grin. Unfortunately we didn’t say much, but the vibe I got off of her was one of a more cheerful nature, as if she was genuinely pleased to see me. Sadly I don’t recall too much of our limited conversation, but I got plenty of eye contact, which is a plus. So now that I’ve gotten a good response from her, I’ll have to see what I can do with this in the future. Now today I went to another grocery store and opted for another shot at UF. At the time, I just randomly grabbed what I had with me and didn’t check the bottle until afterwards. one spray to the back of the hands, one to the neck. A slight pep in my step but otherwise, nothing much as far as self effects go. First hit was at the Mediterranean bar where there is quite the extensive selection of…olives o.O Hit #1 Female, mid 30’s, brunette, caucasian, average weight and frame. Distance: 5 feet. No reaction for the first minute but then I get the usual “can I help you” routine. I strike up a conversation about why this particular store serves different things from the store closer to me. I noticed that the interaction went quite smoothly, with the woman steering the question towards the Valentines Day decorations that were on display at that store. A joke about latex and strawberries gets quite a hearty laugh. Hit #2: In the organic section, poking around as usual. Hit was from a female, caucasian, early to mid 40’s. Another “can I help you” but with a big smile much bigger than normal for someone I have never met. Even though I returned the smile and politely said I was just looking, the woman was quite persistent in making sure I was okay. Not much in IOI’s but still, more than what I usually get. ---

Been going phero free the past few days in a sort of cleansing the palette. Just got ig in akuto yesterday and will be giving tis a test. I’ve always felt that ig is better suited as akuto than neroli. [Neroli](https://a314.com/product-category/scented/androtics-neroli/) doesn’t seem congruent with the signature ig gives off. Just went with two sprays so we’ll. See what happens with my first customer. ---

I’ve had some comments that neroli smells a bit feminine or soft. I do also think akuto does smell like an older more mature person. Can’t wait to read your findings! ---

Yea, I’ve heard the same thing about neroli. I do prefer it for testing as it’s light and can easily be covered with something else if need be, but for something that’s supposed to exude a masculine vibe, it doesn’t jive well to me. ---

Interesting results, at least for me. 1st customer: Latino, male, late 20’s. Half asleep so I don’t think I made much of an impact not to mention that I was only there for about ten minutes. He seemed pretty understanding and easy going regarding me rescheduling his service call, but again, I am chalking that up to his sleepiness. 2nd customer: female, Caucasian, late 40’s to 50’s. A very friendly woman, still rocking with two sprays, she was very easy going, willing to help, there was no sense of her being uneasy around me. 3rd customer: two of them. Both male, both Caucasian, one late 20’s, the other mid 30’s. Younger one is gay, older one is straight. Both men were friendly, outgoing, very easy going as well, willing to work with me, almost like I was one of the guys. What’s interesting here is that in all situations, the typical “shields up” approach I get from a lot of customers (a whole other story as it is), this seemed to vanish. Now I haven’t experimented much with IG, mainly because of neroli, but this version, I must keep testing this. 4th situation: Getting take out Indian food. My usual haunt, they know me fairly well, yet always there is a stand off like behavior which is somewhat typical from East Indian restaurants, at least in my experience. At this point, I put on a two shot refresher as the initial dosage was several hours past. Entering the restaurant, I end up waiting for a moment at the front counter when a EI woman, mid 30’s comes up. She has served me before but this time, she was more polite, relaxed…easy going… o.O hmmm… a theme here perhaps? I know what IG is supposed to do, but so far to me, it seems to help dissolve apprehension/unfamiliarity. Perhaps more like an Instant Buddy. Tests shall continue. ---

As I’m sure this happens with everyone, I’m taking a break for a while from Pheros. I might dabble once or twice a week but I’m in my phase where I need to ease back and just let things go naturally for a while. It helps me reset my senses so as far as pheros go, I don’t intend on making much as far as journal entries. These things tend to go for a few weeks at a time for me. I’ll be back. I usually am 🙂 ---

> [@2000GT](#): > > So a red swingline stapler doesn’t mean anything to you then? 😉 I’m going to assume another office reference. I honestly don’t know a thing about it. The only reason I know what those TPS reports are because when I was first testing [P83](https://pheromonelabs.com/product/p83/) I met this really pretty, but super reserved girl in a mall. P83 did its magic. She was here on vacation and soon enough I had her at her hotel room. She had bought some Vickies secrets and in bed she turned out to be wild. To shorten the story I was gaming her and as mentioned she was too shy/reserved/conservative for my advances. She kept telling me she needed to go back to her hotel room since she had some TPS reports to work on. I had no idea what she was talking about. She later told me it was a defense mechanism because she was attracted and didn’t want some random stranger to take her back to her hotel room and bang her like a drum all night. LOL. ---

Wow, it’s always assumed that you never know what you’ll find in the sofa cushions. In an attempt to find a pen I dropped, I discovered, among the typical loose change and passed out hookers, I found my bottle of mx297 that I thought I lost two months ago. 😃 Ah well, provided that it can stop raining for more than a few days, I’ll start up with da mones again.
