For those who don’t know me, I’ll repeat my belief that the most important effects of pheromones are self-effects. Obviously if pheros affect the wearer you can expect them to affect people nearby, but I still feel the primary mode of effect is that pheros change my mood/emotions/energy/behavior, other people respond to me as a whole, and then maybe come in close enough to be reinforced with their own phero response.
So I’m going to talk about what P75 did for me today.
Yesterday I was at long party (there for about 6 hours) and I put a lot of stuff on to start and reapplied as it wore off. I can’t remember the doses and this post isn’t about the party anyway. But I did put on exactly one dose of P75 2.5 mcg to my neck under some Ammo and TUTH a few hours before the party started. I had P74, TAH, and P83 on my wrists. Some amount of IO, too. I did not apply any more P75.
This morning I had a gym class with a female friend of mine. Because it was a morning gym class and I was partying all night, I did not shower before the class, so I still had residual pheros from I guess 6-15 hours before. I’m really focused in class, hardly even acknowledging that my friend is in the class with me, oblivious to any other possible IOIs from anyone. However, we had pre-arranged to have lunch after class with me and her and her friend who was also in the class. And after class she invited another girl from the class, so that made 4 of us for lunch.
So, 4 of us at a table, 2 & 2, I’m next to my friend, across from her friend who I think is kind of cute and I’d thought I would flirt with (this may have even been a set up, I don’t know for sure), but before I know it, I’m looking at my friend sitting next to me and thinking “Damn, I want to marry this girl.” Totally weird, because we’ve never dated, never kissed, and I’ve never felt any sexual vibe, connection, or tension with her before.
And this was not a fleeting feeling. It lasted all through lunch and for hours after I left. Not lustful or exciting, more of a feminine style “you are my soulmate so that makes you attractive” kind of feeling. But she’s not my soulmate. I never think about her when she’s not around, we never call each other to talk, we only get together at the gym by more-or-less random scheduling coincidence, and otherwise stay in touch mainly just because we both are making an effort to keep a strong circle of friends in our lives.
I didn’t talk to her about this and I didn’t get any sense from her that she was feeling anything for me, but then again I didn’t let on that I was feeling anything for her, either.
My best guess is that it was the residual P75 that triggered this feeling. Though I did meet a couple of girls at the party that I thought were cute, there was no kino (let alone making out) and no trading phone numbers and, more importantly, no strong feeling in me about them sexually or otherwise. Nothing like what I felt at lunch.
It could have been a coincidence, it could have been post-workout hormones, it could be a sign from the heavens that I should get married already, but it could have been the P75.
It just might be that P75 has the elusive “friends-into-lovers” magic. I’ll have to experiment more and I’ll have to be really, really careful.
