OK - It has been a while since I have been here and really posted anything … busy summer and then even a little busier as it ended but trying to get back in the swing of things here …
I see a lot of new names here and notice a lot of old friends are not as active here either. And yes I am registered over there also …
Myself: Mid-4os, married 20+ years, athletic
My main mix - say 90% of the time this summer - was:
2-3 sprays Instant Gentleman to the throat
1 spray Instant Shine 4X spread on the forearms
1 spray IH 4X to the back of the neck
I know it is not very original nor cutting edge, but it was very reliable. If any of you have read any of my older posts you will know that I am a big fan of Instant Gentleman. I think it is often under-rated. If you want a good read on what it can do for you check out the threads in my signautre block.
I went with this mix as opposed to something with A314 (another great product I have used regularly in the past) or something more 'none based like Ammo or any of the custom mixes I have for a couple reasons. One was that a couple close friends started joking with me at the beginning of summer about my “forceful” personality. The second dealt with a couple comments from my wife about other women noticing me a little too much for her taste. So I decided to make sure to tone things down for a while.
And then a couple crises hit. Not in my family thankfully but certainly around me. And while the crises did not need me to be THE man, they did ask for someone calm. Someone dependable that could help people feel anchored. The kind of person people would feel better when they were around them. And have regained their confidence when they left. The kind of person people would feel connected to and reassured by.
Now once again, I and any other experienced user will tell you that even with the pheros it will always be 90% you and 10% pheros. And this is no different. But you can create shifts in the here and now. And you can heighten certain traits and downplay others. And what a lot of people around me needed was steady and dependable. And I used to the pheros to strengthen that perception.
Now - I did vary from time to time. A lot of my variation included throwing some 'none (often a spray of TUTH 2X) into the mix when I was going to be spending extra time with the Mrs. And it works just fine, thanks. But again, like many others have said, even with your wife or So you usually cannot just throw some 'none on and expect things to happen. Lay the groundwork ahead of time, direct the situation and then let the 'none slide the door open for you. And by lay the groundwork I mean you often have to establish the romantic non-sexual connection first before you let the 'none do its thing. I know it doesn’t always work that way, but it is much more reliable than trying to brute force the issue with a lot of 'none.
So - there you have my summer in a nutshell …
