Maximize your potential! Phero's don't always cut the mustard!

hey guys,

I’ve been inspired by a quote. One that we see quite a bit around here.

“It’s 90% you and 10% phero’s”

Other than the fact that you will inevitably die one day - nothing is more certain!

pheromones don’t get you the girl if you look like a slob. They don’t get you the girl if you act like an ass… you don’t become the cool guy or the alpha male just by wearing A314 everyday… what you achieve in life is 100% up to you and how bad you want it.

When i hit middle school i was the kid who wore sweatpants and a T-shirt to school… i was comfortable… had friends… everything was fine. Until 2 girls told me to lose the sweatpants! they were 2 years older than me… pretty… and i listened. I started wearing jeans and changed up my look a little bit and VOILA - a new world opened up. THAT WAS IN 6TH GRADE! imagine what changing your appearance can do after highschool… college…?

in highschool i was the raver guy… parachute pants… vest over the t-shirt. listened to trance and techno… loved to hit up the local teen night at the club. All that changed when i realised i needed a new look as my target “audience” changed. I wanted that abercrombie girl… the “jersey shore” girl - guess what clothes i bought… you guessed it - A&F.

I do want to stress that you need to stay true to your own personality tho. You can’t fake being someone else… atleast not to a higher class of people. Everything i have changed over the years (clothes, attitude, haircut, body type, and diet) I have been ready for. It was something i wanted - and i pursued it.

You need to figure out what it is you’re after… then you need to figure out how to get it. I personally feel that a good start to changing your life is to change the way you dress. I found that when i started wearing armani, guess, and going for the GQ style… i netted more respect from men and women. This was done pheromone free! The way you present yourself matters SOOOOO much. If you’re looking for someone of a certain stature, lets say that high end hot girl that attends the club you goto, what makes you think you can waltz in there with baggy jeans, a jersey,and a pair of timm’s and expect her to fall head over heals for you? DRESS TO IMPRESS!

The next thing i had to change was my body type. This step is not for everyone - but i noticed all the women i wanted had pretty fit men on their sides. I started 6’1 - 175lbs and today i’m about 6’1 - 220lbs. Over my transformation i noticed A LOT of changes! Everything from more hits from women to more “staring” from guys… people notice me walk in the room. I’m not huge by any means but i like to stay fit. It has become a lifestyle. It is somehting i feel has had a major impact on my life. Ofcoase it’s not easy and has taken quite a while - but if i could doit all over again… i’d probably go even harder!

After some of my transformations started taking place i subconciously started acting differently. I think i just felt better about myself… i don’t want to say i felt better than any one person… but i felt important if that makes sense. I tried to manipulate my own feelings into becomming a more “vocal” alpha male. I never felt like a follower… i always felt alpha but i never “showed” it. I had to tell myself that i deserve better… i deserve respect because i give it. I went through a cocky period… i felt like the world was mine for the taking. I acquired a new look… i acquired more size… i felt like there was nothing i couldn’t do. Then maturity set in - everything i’ve learned was fine tuned. i now feel like i have an overall sense of self-worth. I’m proud of who i am, how i look, and how i carry myself.

The world can be a cruel place and you are judged in some way, shape, or form by EVERYONE! Think about when you walked into the foodstore this week… you noticed the old lady… you noticed the baby crying in the “race car shopping cart” - why can’t that “hot club girl” who’s there buying energy drinks notice you in your buttondown shirt and tie… or your designer jeans and armani exchange t-shirt? She can… she’s always looking - just like you. Whether she says something to you or not… she noticed you. IF YOU MADE EYE CONTACT - SHE NOTICED YOU! that’s all your asking for… thats all you should require! Maybe next time at the club - she’ll see you, dressed to impress, looking good, mingling with the people… she’ll inevitably walk by you because shes interested and when she does… she’ll get that last 10% of you… that pheromone signature that you have so nicely altered! :smiley:

What i’m trying to say is this… “it’s 90% you and 10% pheromones”

nice post, reps.

also another thread for the noobs AS well as some experienced users as well.

im really glad that im so fit, too. lol.

wow thats such a good post :slight_smile:

thanx for that and reps!

<3 remmy

Great post Hazard. Reps for taking the time to share it.

Thanks fors the reps guys - i thought it was something i had to take the time to write. I know i’m not the only one who can change… Brad Pitt didn’t come out of his mom looking the way he does… he spent his whole life developing that “Image”

anyone can doit really… you can’t change your face… or birthmarks… or disabilities… but you can most certainly change the way you are perceived by others! As long as you stay true to who you are… you can be anyone you want :slight_smile:

Really good post!

I always try to dress sharp no matter where I go and I think it helps!

I couldn’t agree with this more.

I’ve recently reinvented myself, and much to my surprise, I have come out as being very preppy: A&F clothes, polos, button up collared shirts with sleeves rolled up. I dress better and add little bits of my old character to avoid “wearing the uniform”, but as a result, I get a lot more looks even before pheros!

Reps for the post, it’s great.

Whilst I don’t totally agree about the 90% you 10% pheromones thing I think it’s pretty close. If your a slob and make zero effort then I think whatever pheromones your wearing will become totally useless, making it you 100% and the pheromones 0% (although the 100% won’t get you very far as your not making an effort). However if you do all of what you mentioned above: work on your style, body, confidence, everything you can really to make yourself the best person you possibly can whilst remaining authentic to yourself then I think pheromones can have a bigger influence, making it something like 70%/30%, 60%/40% or whatever. It’s ironic that when you least need the pheromones is when they work best for you. Ultimately pheromones don’t work for you they have to be worked by you which is what gives you the ‘edge’.

Word! :smiley:

I agree completely.

I dont agree. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think its way too simplistic to say 10% pheros and 90% you… in some situations, pheromones will be huge and have a great effect and may mesmerize, whereas in others it wont really even register with your target… Theyre mostly context-dependant I beleive, so if your in an environment that meshes with the pheromones and your behaviour they work well, and if your not, they wont less well, or maybe even negatively…

Yea, well, sure. How would you quantify 10% of the effort being pheromones and 90% of the effort being you anyways? You can’t. I don’t believe there is any measurement of such effort, nor any standards to measure by. As WildFlower mentioned, you might see it as 1/99, 49/51, 99/1, or any combination in between. The point you should take home is that pheromones alone will not do it for you. Don’t be so concerned about the actual percentages.

What situations mesh well with pheromones and which ones don’t? It’s not just that. Look enough on the forums and you can probably find hits in situations you wouldn’t expect. (Work being one of the primary places, though I’m sure you can find less ‘social’ places as well.) It’s not just the situation, but how you approach it. IMO, pheromones are communication, and communication is present in pretty much every aspect of our daily lives.

In either case, that was hardly the point Hazard was making. I don’t know if this is the best analogy, but you can add NO2 to pretty much any car and get a significant hp boost. NO2 being the pheromones, you are the car. Some cars will handle the extra power just fine. Others will need engine work to handle the power. Others will need suspension work to put the power to the ground. Maybe the transmission needs to be changed out. Sloppy steering, no control. Either way, the NO2 helps, but if you work on the car as a whole, the NO2 is that much more effective, certainly more effective than just adding more NO2.

What Hazard is saying is, why not upgrade your suspension so you can effectively use that power. Why not reinforce your engine’s internals to prevent engine falure?

----> If you have the choice of being mentally sharp, physically fit, and sociallly fun + pheromones, and the choice of being of average mental acuity, average physical health, and still socially fun + pheromones, which would you choose?

Not saying any one thing trumps the other, but essentially, the package as a whole matters.

phya, i think your car perspective realy is the best way to put it in a guys world to understand. some ppl just need the same thing said in other words.. great post

excellent post phya… as snake said… it’s the best way for us men to understand it :slight_smile: haha

Thats really what i was trying to say… upgrade yourself. In a sea of men why not stand out? In general… a woman’s first impression of you will be the way you look and whether or not shes attracted to you. She will mostly see you before she smells you and if shes attracted enough to walk by you… she’ll catch a wiff of the phero’s. there is also a chance she’ll round the corner and pass you before she see’s you or you make sneak up from behind her… but why the hell not upgrade yourself and give her a total package?
