I just finished my first week with A314 and I would have to say my results have been inconsistent at best. I’ve been trying to figure out my dosage, so that might have some bearing on my results. First I live in Chicago, where it is winter right now. When I first started applying A314 I would put it on before I left for work, but I noticed that I would have to reapply at work because my winter jacket would soak up all the pheromone. Has anyone else had this problem or should I be letting it dry more? I also work at a dental office where I am 1 out of 4 men that work in an office of 10 employees. One of my female co-workers I have been friends with for about 10 years now, and the other ones I have been working with for about 6 months now. One of the girls at work is about 7 months pregnant (not sure how this might affect things).Of the 3 other men in the office, 2 of the men that I work with( owner and project manager) are friends of mine from high school, and the other is one of the doctors in our office. When I first got A314 I put 1 drop on my wrists and 1 drop behind both ears (2 total). I noticed one guy on the bus kept looking over at me when I first walked past him, and a younger girl(high school age) looked up as me when I sat near her and did a quick hair twirl. No noticeable reactions at work even after reapplication. Upped my dose to 1 drop on the wrists and 1 drop behind each ear (3 total). Still real no effects on other people, but I did notice that I stood up straighter. I didn’t look at the ground when I walked, and I had more confidence when I walked down the street. I’d say it added a little swagger to my step, I felt more confident talking to people, but I’m wondering if there also might have been some placebo affect. Decided to up my dose again. 1 drop on each wrist and 1 drop behind each ear (4 total). Still no affect at work. As a friend and employee of the owner I’m sure my relationship with the boss has some affect on my status at work. However, I wonder if a perceived status, as a result of being friends with the boss, might have some bearing on the effect that A314 might have on my coworkers. I did notice that 1 patient however was pretty attentive when I spoke to her. It’s kinda hard for me to describe, but it was definitely not a normal patient interaction for me. Again, maybe I was imagining it as a placebo effect. After work I noticed I couldn’t smell the A314 anymore so I reapplied 4 more drops, 1 drop to each of the previous application sites. I went into the pet store by my office to buy some things after work and that’s where I noticed some affects. While I was in the store one of the female sales associates would not leave me alone. She helped me find what I was looking for but was super detailed. Usually store associates just point you to where the items you’re looking for are, but she was giving recommendations, reading product labels to help me compare products, she even carried the 50lb. bag of dog food for me out to the car. Later that day at the gas station I saw some results as well. The guy who usually works at the gas station is some Indian F.O.B. and not very friendly. He’s never smiled at me or talked to me, and always stares at me like I’m planning on robbing the place. This time was a little different, he happened to be stocking shelves when I walked in. There was another person in front of me at the counter, and he had to step between me and the other customer to get to the register. As he got close to me he looked up and acknowledged me with a hello (never happened before). The customer in front of me was prepaying for gas. His card got declined the first time so the guy let him try it again. When it got declined again, the customer began to search for another card. At this time he motioned for the customer to step to the side and waved me forward with a smile. Usually when a retail associate does this is because there is a line and they want to keep the line from getting too long. However I was the only other customer in the store at the time. He was friendly to me, even made small talk while the other customer waited to run his card again. Are these the types of results I should be seeing or should I continue to up the dose? I’ve tried doing the whole lotion thing but I don’t think that worked too well. I experimented with cologne once, and that didn’t work too well either (I think it was because the cologne was old). I’m gonna do more research on this as the bottle says A314 is best use with a scent. Some Questions I have so far: I know race plays a factor in how much a person is affected by [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/), but could race play a factor in how much pheromones you need to achieve the desired affect; i.e. Do I need to use more/less pheromones than someone of a different race? Also should pheromones have the same affect on a friend of 10 years as opposed to someone you just met? A314 has that distinct smell, is it the pheromones or do they add a scent to it? I only ask because right now that is the only indicator that I have to reapply and I’d like to prevent from OD’ing. ---

Update: Was wearing 5 drops of A314 today, tried putting 2 drops on my left wrist accidentally put 3, and 1 drop behind each ear. Also 2 sprays of Oscar by Oscar dela Renta on my right arm. I’m sitting at the front of the office by a small space heater when my office manager walks in from the back and says excitedly “Smells like a man in here!” She stated that it had smelled like a man had just sprayed himself and walked through the office. I’ve worn this cologne to work before and have never gotten such a response, since I’m the only male in the office today I’m assuming it must be me! 😛 ---

Five drops on a thirty year old, after a week! 😮 No wonder you are getting odd results - I reckon that could be well into a hefty rone OD! Try scaling things right back and follow the A314 Sweet spot guide here: > [@How to find your sweet spot...](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-to-find-your-sweet-spot/22146/59): > > The process is exactly the same - Just count drops instead of sprays. I will add that I found it took about a month after finding my sweet spot to adjust to the A314 signature - It is subtle and works in so many ways. slight_smile And for advice, I suggest you keep checking back to your intro thread or have a search in Mens. This is not really the place to ask. As you have bought A314 Oil, also PM Steve for a password to the A314 forum. Lots of advice in there. wink (Then read the rest of the thread and the linked Intro thread for more advice on using pheros effectively) Also, I see other things in your post that make me wonder if you have thought through how you want to use A314 - can you say exactly what you want from it? ---

I bought A314 to wear at work. I was busting my ass at work covering other peoples positions and staying late. I was usually the first one in and last one out, but I felt my efforts weren’t being recognized. Things would still happen where I would end up feeling like there was no respect for me or my accomplishments. I was hoping that A314 would help me gain the respect that I feel that I’ve earned from my co-workers and management. ---

How is your testing going? Have you noticed any subtle or significant changes on yourself or others yet? ---

I’ve noticed that I stand up straighter, and I walk with my head up instead of looking at my feet. Can’t say I’ve really noticed much from people here at work. But it’s probably because I’m the type of person to not read the instructions before using something and A314 was no exception. I’m going phero free the rest of this week and begin sweet spot testing on Monday with a clean slate. ---

Good! - If its any help, it took me about a month to get the most basic handle on A314 oil and there was a period where I did wonder what was going-on. Then things started clicking into place as I caught-up with it myself. Also people around me did seem a bit puzzled/take me a little differently and yes, I did have to be a bit more proactive with them - partly to reconfirm that I was the same guy, just an all-new, more dynamic same guy! 😃
