Hi there,
I purchased both Mystery boy and Instant shine a few weeks ago.
I tried putting on instant shine (2-3 sprays on my neck) a few times - But didn’t feel any different, And people’s reactions to me were quite the same as before.
In addition, on another occasion, I had put on 2 sprays of mystery boy. A few moments later - I started smelling a really foul smell, and had to run and put some cologne to cover the smell (which smelled like, sorry in advance, stool.)
In addition - It didn’t seem to make guys reactions to me any different.
It’s pretty strange that Everyone’s are having positive results, and I’m having such a hard time getting it to work. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong ?
Thanks, Ben.
In my past experience with Instant Shine, I found that I didn’t get any self-effects either. Some people just don’t seem to. I don’t know if the brain simply realizes that your body is the source of the pheromonal signal and thus ignores it, or if there is some other mechanism at play. I definitely notice effects on other people, however. People are more likely to move into my personal space (lean on my shoulder, touch my hands, etc.) than when I am not wearing IS. However, Instant Shine is, in my opinion, a mix that produces results that are harder to quantify than others. You can tell if Instant Openness is working if you notice complete strangers talking to you in line at the grocery store, or your friends being unusually chatty. It’s a bit harder to tell if you’re an exuding an air of vitality and youth, because different people will react differently to this, and the same person will react differently in different settings.
I would suggest not wearing any pheromones for a couple of days and really paying attention to people and their reactions to you in various settings. Then start at one spray for a couple of days. If you don’t notice much, move to two sprays, and so on. Although this process of calibration might seem tedious and you will want to see immediate results, I am fairly confident in the effects of pheromones and the advantages and good they can bring to your life; confident enough that I feel this phase of patient experimentation is worth it.
As for your problems with Mystery Boy, I have never used the product myself, so I have no knowledge of the scent of the product or what pheromones it contains. However, given that it is an mix designed for attraction of men, I would assume that it contains the sexual pheromone androstenone. (I may be incorrect; I’m sure if I am someone with more knowledge will point it out.) While most people don’t consciously detect pheromones as a scent, some people can smell androstenone and claim that it has a bad smell, which ranges from body odor to cat urine. In your case, you may be smelling the androstenone (along with the scent package of the product) and interpreting it as the smell of stool. Try having someone else smell the product on your skin without giving them any hint about how it smells to you. Just ask, with a relatively calm and emotionless expression, “How does this smell to you?” If they don’t gag and ask why you would wear such a putrid thing, then it may just be you. However, if they have the same problem, there may have simply been an mistake in the creation of the product. If something is wrong with the product, or if you simply aren’t satisfied, just contact Androtics and they will refund or replace it for you. I hope that helps!
Well Ben, as they say, if you can’t take the heat, stay outta da kitchen. Mones are smelly. Why? They originate in human sweat (especially crotch & pits) urine, stool, sperm, saliva, vaginal fluids and, furthermore, additional mones are produced by bacteria acting on those already stinky body fluids. Suffice to say, mones smell like ass, crotch, piss, BO, dick and snatch. That’s the way it is and nothing will ever totally mask or cover those funky scents. And yet those stinky messengers signal attraction, aggression, health, sociality, etc.
I guessing you have more sensitivity to musky funk than most people. A lot of guys on this forum can’t smell most mones at all. Unfortunately I have an usually sensitive nose and have suffered greatly because of it. A314 smells like ass and hippie incense. NPA is so strong it reminds me of piss and workout crotch rubbed directly on nose. A1 smells like old pee and sweat. Whatever, women get all hots 'n bothered when I wear them and their stuff is more funky anyway…
