As soon as I saw that the new mix MX399 was available, I placed an order Wednesday (6/22/11) night. It came in Friday (6/24/11) morning and I was excited to try it out this weekend. I’ve tested it for two days in 3 environments. I apologize for the length. Oh, also, I’m 31, 5’7”, black, and people say I’m handsome.
Test 1 (6/26/11):
Dose: 2 sprays to neck (1 on each side)
Venue: Club
Duration: 4 hours
I sprayed the MX399 on in my car before walking into the venue around 11pm. It smelled nice and light. There was a higher ratio of females to males so I thought the experiment was off to a good start. I made sure to walk around the entire room before going to the bar to order a drink and observe.
I go to this venue enough that the majority of the staff knows my name. Although everyone I came across addressed me, they didn’t seem as comfortable as they usually are with me. Most noticeably, the manager shook my hand instead of the normal hug and my usual bartender wasn’t as pleasant as she normally is. Also, my tab was actually a little higher than it normally is.
As far as the ladies, I consider myself to be in a relationship (I still wear my ring) so I don’t try and pick up women. However, women love my hair and everywhere I go; I usually get stares, compliments, flirtatiousness, etc. without the assistance of mones. Additionally, in clubs, I usually have girls who stand/dance very close to me, start convos, physically touch me, etc. Tonight, I didn’t get any attention and I felt more reserved than I normally do. Around 1am, I reapplied and still nothing. I was a little ticked because I didn’t bring any other mones that may have reversed the night.
Test 2 (6/26/11):
Dose: 2 sprays to neck (1 on each side)
Venue: Red Lobster
Duration: 1.5 hours
When I woke up after the night out, I saw a commercial for Red Lobster’s 4 course meal for $15 and I knew I had to partake. I applied the MX399 in my car before walking in. When I was about 20ft away from the door, a family came out. The man was holding the door and I thought it was for someone behind him but he was actually holding it for me, so I quickened my pace to be considerate. It was weird bc I was so far away. The guy was very polite as well. But this couldn’t be due to the MX399 bc I wasn’t around him at all.
As I entered the restaurant and approached the podium to leave my name with the hostess for seating, I noticed that I felt more authoritative. Although I was dressed casually in shorts and a polo, my manner of speech was more professional than I normally use in this environment. I’m naturally a confident individual, but I felt extremely calm. I was told that there would be a about a 15 min wait. As I walked toward an available seat on a bench between two women, I noticed people looking at me with reverence. I get this at work but usually not in public because people don’t know me. I asked the two women if I may sit between them and they seemed overly polite as they made more room for me than I needed. The woman to the right soon got up and a mother sat next to me. There was enough room for her 8ish son, but he seemed a little intimidated and decided to admire the lobster tank. After a few minutes he came over with his head down and said excuse me before sitting next to me.
By this time, I noticed that a party of three that came in after me got called before me, so I gave up my seat and approached the podium. In situations like this, I have a tendency to be pretty harsh, however, I felt much calmer as I explained the situation to the hostess. She profusely apologized and said that I would be next, but as I was standing there, another host interjected and offered to seat me right then and there. That wasn’t expected.
My waitress was very professional and polite (Red Lobster can be 50/50 regarding professionalism of staff) so I was satisfied. Nothing out of the ordinary happened with her. As I was leaving I decided to go to the restroom. The same little boy who sat next to me earlier just came out as I went in. As I was using the urinal, the kid came back in and was washing his hands. As I went to wash mine, he just stopped and starred at me in awe. It was really weird. I used my wet towel to wipe my neck.
Test 3 (6/26/11)
Dose: 2 sprays to neck (1 on each side)
Venue: Outside
Duration: 2 hours
It was such a gorgeous day that I decided to head down to the Taste of Chicago to walk around. I applied the MX399 before exiting my car and walking 3 blocks to the Taste. There were a lot of people there, but it wasn’t jam packed. I felt super calm/reserved and got plenty of stares, but nothing out of the ordinary as I walked along. About 45mins before leaving, I applied 2 more sprays and gravitated to a less crowded section where there was a stage with musicians. After about 10mins, I noticed that small groups of people began surrounding me. They weren’t really looking at or talking to me, they were just there. It was getting a little too crowded so I decided to move to the opposite side of the stage where there weren’t many people. 10mins later, the same thing happened. It was kind of weird but it might have been coincidence. I did notice a few Hispanic males giving me a mean look, but they turned away when I gave them a glare of my own.
Weekend Test Overview:
Overall, I can’t say that I got 1 positive female hit with the MX399. It seems that the calming self-effects weren’t really congruent with a weekend of fun and others may have been a little intimidated. I feel that this mix may be more suitable for an indoor professional environment so I will test at work tomorrow.
