I understand your concern.
It terms of behavioral psychology, it really doesn’t matter how you generate a behavior. Eventually, if you act a certain way long enough, you’ll grow the mental legs to support that behavior.
In a very real sense, “Fake it till ya make it” has been shown to work, for those who stick at it long-enough.
When you feel good, for whatever reason, throw yourself into as many social interactions as you can… and you will build the proper mental experience necessary for the “temporary” effect to extend itself.
Remember, even if you’re using it as a crutch… a crutch is there to help you walk. Soon enough, you’ll be able to walk without the crutch.
After you no longer need it, your relationship to the tool becomes enhancement & want based. You can use it for enhancement, if you like. You can use it because you want it, not because you need it.
Despite what the Buddhists say about “want”, to me, want is involved in true mental freedom. To me, need is the prison, while things that are optional are involved in freedom. And things you want are totally optional.
The best relationships I’ve had in my life have been want based, and the worst, need based.
NFS, before you continue, I must ask… have you tried The Mystery Method?
It’ll happen. Sounds like you’re headed in the right direction already. Getting out there, and having positive social success (even with A314 to assist), is what’s going to help you long-term. You’re already doing that. just keep it.
I’d try MX103 through MX105 instead of normal A314, or the experimental MX102 version. I’d especially try MX105.
You can successfully use Ammo or Turn up The Heat with A314.
Androstenone based products have a very physical, sort of “well endowed” type of effect.
There’s no saying you can’t be calm, cool, confident, successful (A314) and well endowed. Nothing wrong with that, at all.
Yes, androstenone has a certain instability to it, but A314 reduces that.
Again, I’d be interested in your experimentation with MX105 while it’s still around. That’ll be more romantic, more appropriate for “night time” use.
The current version of Ammo isn’t really a bad boy effect, btw.
It’s meant as an easy to use nightgoing cologne… meaning it has it’s sexual elements, but not as extreme as -none alone.
Unless we change it’s positioning, Ammo is going to be a consumer, mid to upper market cologne. A sexy cologne with a pheromonal “boost”, to better deliver the benefits that people really want from cologne.
