I went out yesterday to test mx143. Dose was 4 sprays, 2 to chest and one to each side of hair on head.
The effects, if any were subtle. I received respectful attention from the waitress and owner at a Chinese restraunt. Service was great but everything was prim and proper.
Had a long and interesting talk with a lady who trains guide dogs. She had her puppy with her. About 5 minutes or so into the conversation she dropped mention of her fiance.
Standing in a check-out line a manager approached and mentioned that the “7 items or less” line was open at the other end of the line of registers. I was close to being checked out but I went over anyway. The line at the “quick” register was about 3 times longer than the one I was in. I came back with a bit of fire in my eyes and they had a closed sign on the line I was in. She asked why I came back and I said the line was much longer. She had the clerk with the closed sign go ahead and check me out. I think the clerk was about to get off shift and I was holding her up. She banged the glassware I had around a bit. I didn’t mind, as if she damaged anything I would leave it at the counter while she went to get a good one. However, she managed not to damage anything.
The day was really pretty ordinary. Perhaps I was a little more irritable and demanding than usual. People showed respect but there was a definite good measure of personal space in interactions. Not a “cuddly” vibe from mx143 and no overt demonstrations as there were in my recent experiments with mx177.
Edit - I remembered one more incident. I went to Starbucks and there were a couple of teenaged girls there. One was sitting on the other’s lap sucking on a pacifier. I sat down by them and they rather quickly got up and left.
Tried this one today. Three blasts of mx143 to the chest, plus a doubleshot of instant shine. Headed out for a tiny bit of shopping. Hits all felt like OD, though the massive headache I recently developed can’t have helped the negatives any. Initial opinion – I don’t think I care for Akuto scent, though it sort of grows on you a little, it’s something like a coriander/cajeput/ginger scent that is too spicy for my taste (nose).
First store, had to use the ATM, there was a (22-24 y.o.) girl standing close beside the machine. As I walked up, nothing, but during my transaction, she moved three feet, in order to better escape my pherocloud. At the cash register, the girl there (24-26 y.o.) suggested I go elsewhere even though the guy in front of me had only one item. Stood far away as possible during transaction.
Second store, as I walked up to the counter to ask a question, the girl there (20-22 y.o. asian) backed up away from her register and answered from 2-3 feet further away than necessary.
I showered this morning, as always, but I felt like they acted as if I hadn’t showered in days. Though perhaps it was a -none OD, mharris mentioned 143 has too much -none for his taste. I’ve not tried any other -none products yet, so my 3 sprays might have been major OD for all I know. Could also have been my headache plus the -none made me scary. No clue. Wonder what the wife will say tonight – probably that I smell terrible and wonder what I’ve gotten on me.
My ex-wife (Korean) used to walk backwards and make choking gestures whenever I applied androstenone products, and no matter how small amount I used it was the same.
Generally East Asians–Japanese, Korean and Chinese–tend to be the least tolerant of androstenone and Caucasian body odors in general. I can’t begin to say how much I have heard my sisters and females cousins complain of how White folks need more showers. Now I know it’s mainly a body chemistry and diet thing and not a lack of showers. South Asian women–Filipina, Thai & Vietnamese–are more tolerant and often intrigued by androstenone. The Edge used to drive my Vietnamese and Filipina GFs into hogheaven.
