Hello! I stumbled across this forum on a Google search for honest pheromone reviews & real companies :] I love that Androtics has an area open for public comment & experimentation, much like I’m more likely to hit up a restaurant that listens to their Yelp reviews, I’d rather check out a pheromone company that will interact with its customers online.

So for the real introduction - I’m Zoe, a 22 year old female who lives in Los Angeles. Also, a 22 year old female who evidently can’t type, as I typoed my birth year so my age displays as 21, not 22. Ooops. I moved there five years ago to go to college and graduated a year ago. I now work in entertainment (which entails… making a lot of coffee. And answering a lot of phones!)

I started looking into [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) because I’ve been single for over two years now. When I was in college I used to get plenty of guys interested in hooking up with me (and even a decent amount that were interested in something more serious) but since graduating it’s like I became invisible. I certainly think not for a lack of social life - I go out with my friends as many times a week as I can talk them into!! When one of my friends even told me a couple weeks ago that she couldn’t understand why a girl like me couldn’t get guys to pay attention to her I knew I’ve got to work on something… 🙂

Here is where I’d love some help on choosing what to order too :] I have gone through the descriptions plenty but I’m a little overwhelmed with choices!! To really get down to who I am and what I’m looking for:  
I have no problem talking to people (if you couldn’t tell from the egregiously long post!) & people usually call me “energetic”, “enthusiastic”, “chatterbox” (maybe I shouldn’t advertise that last one!) etc. That being said, I don’t think that being so social always means I’m well-liked - just that I’m not shy. 😛 I’m looking to attract men for a plethora of reasons, whether it’s dating or hooking up or even just trying to connect on a deeper level - I just want to connect with men better than I do now. I seem to get friend zoned _always_ when I do encounter guys I’m attracted to!

I generally prefer men who are not terribly aggressive, more the “nice guy” type - which of course makes things harder since they’re the type that are less likely to chase a girl! I’m into guys who are a lot like me (for better & for worse). A couple of my past exes have been, personality-wise, nearly like a mirror image of myself. Physically, well… my friends tease and say I like hipsters (take as you will!)  
Like most people I of course have my eye on someone - who is single, and that I see every day (and, so I hear, thinks he has some problems of his own attracting girls) - but I’m not looking to attract just him. A nice bonus it would be, but I’m just looking to catch any sexy fish out there in the sea!

Now that I’ve spilled my life story out here 😛 I’m ready to bring on the suggestions!!

Welcome to Pherotalk!  
As for the age, PM Steve and he could fix that for you 😉

I would really recommend [Instant Sexiness B](https://phera.com/product/kitten/). That product just does exactly what you are asking for and it might even do more 😉 I would also recommend IH for connection in a deeper level and some ISHINE on top of that if you want to “SHINE”! Seriously you will just be amazed by the products you will purchase here..  
waiting to hear back from you 😉!

Hi and welcome to the forum Zoe, don’t worry about the plethora of information. I’m going to give you a couple of links for you to read to get the basics of information and language.  
Just check the How do I Qualify for a $25 GC just to make you got all points covered.

The products that will be of interest to you right now are:

Instant Sexiness/B (there is no A at the moment); the name says it all. Softer sexy, confident vibe.

Instant Shine - gives you a shine to other people; makes them want to be near and hang around.

[Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) - promotes light easy conversation; an ice breaker and people respond easily. Quantity vs quality.

Instant Honesty - promotes deeper communication and bonding. People open up with this. Quality vs quantity.

The mones have self effects for most people, but we wear them to get the reactions we want - meaning that just because you and I feel chatty, the person we’re talking may need a little assistance - thus the mones. 😃  
\*\*[How do I qualify for a $25 gift](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/how-do-i-qualify-for-a-25-gift-certificate/19934)

Ahh I was editing my post just as both of you responded! Nothing really drastic - just added more on what type of guys I’m trying to meet, etc. since as I read some other new user threads I noticed that a lot of people were being asked that by the people who responded.

[Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/) was the first thing that caught my eye here actually - I’ve often thought that I can ‘have a wall up’ or be putting on a bit of a show and it seems rare that people - especially guys - pick up on my real feelings & so anything to help open that pathway I’m sure will help make a connection.

I did look through those threads a bit, Astrea, the introduction thread was the one that really got my interest moving :] and then from there to a bit overwhelmed… maybe overexcited… hahaha??

Instant Sexiness/b definitely sounds like it would help pick me up out of that ditch I feel like I’ve fallen in & as I said a couple paragraphs ago IH I think could really help me build relationships… there’s something I may really need to get better at! Thank you for the suggestions!!

Yeah, PJ beat me out with a short post lol 😃 Ok, what you want to do is get the things you’re really interested in. IH promotes the deeper connection, if you need the self effects of that as well as wearing it for other people; you can put that on the back of your and or wrist and occasionally sniff it.  
Overwhelmed and overexcited - as we all were and are. I love the stuff! And the customer service just rocks!  
The sweet spot is different for everybody and can be different with products; for example I max out on [Instant Sexiness](https://phera.com/product/instant-sexiness/)/B at 3 sprays, you might at 4 or not. This is finding the most effective number of sprays on you for every different product. For example I love 4 sprays of IH. But can’t use that many for IS/B.  
The links give you the information in a nice coherent, orderly fashion. I have all four of these products. Once you find your sweet spots with them all you can tailor your “mone outfit” to suit where you’re going to be or the specific people you mix it with.

But most of all we’re all having fun while we expand the knowledge data base with real life experimentation on our friends! 😮😃 Shhh, don’t tell anyone. That way you keep your edge. 😉

I’d go with instant openness before instant honesty, if you know anything about an Aquarius, were kind of like an onion with a chameleon effect (every person brings something different out of me) and thus the self-effects of Instant Honesty can be a little bit too strong for my own comfort. I stopped using it after I got ‘too honest’ on my ex and told her how I really felt about some things. Although it sounds like it’d work great for you I noticed you said you have trouble with people really understanding how your thinking, if that’s tr case you might be in the same type of mindset I’m in and you might want to go with [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), definitely Instant Shine. Instant Sexiness is a female product that is highly raved about on here but I haven’t ever encountered it (at least I don’t think I have).

What part of California you living in and what school did you go to?

I must say, the phrase ‘[pheromone](https://a314.com/shop/) outfit’ just gave me such a great mental image, hahahaha! But it’s an interesting (and accurate) figurative image to think on nonetheless.

Terpines - interesting input on the IH! Hmm, now I’m curious as to what the real difference for me - someone who has no problem with the quantity of conversation, but rather with the shallowness (and therefore quality). Also an interesting point with how different things affect different astrological signs… hmm!! For the record, I’m a Virgo, but connect a little more closely with my close neighbor the Libra.

I live in LA proper, near downtown. I went to USC (I don’t live in that hood anymore though!)… fight on! Are you a Californian as well??

Welcome to runrabbitrun! What an interesting name. Me Likey! I can’t say I disagree with the suggestions and advise, it is pretty on point. One thing sticks out at me though since we recently had a thread about it. You said that you get put in the friend zone a lot. I think for that you should try to do some research , asking questions and find out why you are being placed in the friend zone and take it from there. If memory serves me right men and women are put in the friend zone for the same reasons and it’s basically allowing the men to string you along and you become a pushover. The great thing about this company or should I say forum is that we offer great products, knowledge and support. Your gc was issued!

Someday I hope to be a USC film school grad, since I was young I was always a fan of USC football. I absolutely love California I’m finally mooing out there this summer

the username happens to be an eminem song that i don’t know any of the words to HAHA… just one of those titles that sticks in your brain. as i glanced around thinking about a username i caught sight of the miike snow CD laying on my bedroom floor and [the album artwork](http://www.steady130.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/miike.jpg) caused that song title to pop into my brain. talk about a genre mindfuck! (can i say that here? 😮)

interesting background on the friend zone, even moreso because that sentence - “allowing the men to string you along and you become a pushover” - that could have easily been written about me by someone who had known me for years. well, looks like i have some research to do 🙂

thanks for the GC!!! I already ordered IS/b and IH (which, while I did take your comment into account Terpines, decided was perhaps a better place for me to start personally… I think I behave like I’m using IO naturally sometimes, and therefore make connections with people who are like that as well, but honesty is a hard bridge for me). FedEx says my estimated delivery date is 10:30am tomorrow, yowzers! somewhere I saw the address and you guys are a hop skip and a jump down the street from my office (where it is being delivered to - I don’t trust FedEx at apartment buildings!) so I suppose it’s not that shocking of a transit time but bravo on processing time!!

Where in California are you moving to, Terpines?? fight on indeed 😃

Being from the east coast, it’s hard to understand how much I love California. I’m still looking for the perfect area to be in proximity to other cool areas so I might end up traveling and spending time in different places from Hermosa Beach to Santa Cruz California up to San Francisco and Oakland.

She’s right about Oakland, it’s a rough area. Berkley is happy go lucky hippies, san fran is probably a lot like Seattle or a west coast Manhattan, San Jose is computer town, the dot coms and shit started there so if you like tech that’s great…but Oakland, while my favorite football team is from there I wouldn’t walk through Oakland without a gun.

traveling is a great way to get acquainted with california - don’t forget san diego though, it’s one of my favorites. california is so different all the different places you go, so it’s totally up to finding what matches your attitude. there’s the bustle of LA, the beach/party city combo of san diego, the super-liberal scene in san francisco, the farmland in central california, the high-mountain forests of tahoe, the palm desert out in palm springs/coachella valley… man, just typing this makes me want to roadtrip!

there are some parts of oakland that aren’t that bad but they are very DIY/co-op oriented. one of my friends lives in a co-op in oakland and ADORES it but it’s a very certain kind of person, for sure. i should also note i lived in south central LA (see: straight outta compton) for awhile and i’m, ummmm, as far from the gangster/chola stereotype as it gets… so i might be a little desensitized haha.

i got my order today - with a free to-go bottle of instant shine!!! thank you guys SO MUCH for the free bottle!! and, it made a great story… i opened the package when no one was near my cubicle (i get to the office a lot earlier than most of the coworkers that sit near me) the IS had lost its cap in transit & leaked a bit. the leaked stuff got allllll over my hands. i put the package away in my desk drawer (you could kind of smell it from there… it didn’t seem like it leaked that much but there was definitely a blast of smell when i opened the bubble wrap) and when everyone got to their desks, people got LOOPY. myself included, but whoooooo… that must have been everyone hit with WAY TOO MUCH instant shine because people were in horrible moods all week and people got downright giddy today. i guess theres a success story right there though 🙂 there was - i think - more success too with the products i ordered but i guess maybe i should start a thread for that in the women’s forum?

Berkley is happy go lucky hippies, san fran is probably a lot like Seattle or a west coast Manhattan, San Jose is computer town, the dot coms and shit started there so if you like tech that’s great…but Oakland, while my favorite football team is from there I wouldn’t walk through Oakland without a gun.

When I went for an interview in Oakland, I REALLY wanted a gun. 😮 Seriously.

Thanks for the advice everyone I guess I’ll be staying out of Oakland until I meet some people from there. San Diego, Los Angeles and beaches like Hermosa and Redondo - I need to see that. Right before I discovered Androtics last year I spent a month out in California and the first place I stayed at a hostel on Hermosa Beach right on the pier. I can’t wait to be there I’ve been dreaming of living in California since the first time I went there in 2003 everything about California (even the air) just makes me feel so much better. I even like Disneyland so I’ll probably spend a day out in Anaheim too. After spending time in SoCal I’ll make my way up through San Cruz, CA and after spending time there I’ll find my way out to Berkley, Richmond and San Francisco. It’s great to get everyone’s insight, I appreciate it.

Dude, your enthusiasm makes me just GRIN! If you can, at some point in time, get to the tip of NorCal and go to the Redwood Forests. Nothing like it - anywhere. The profound beauty of the forest and the location is just majestic. If you go to Klamath, the very first tree . . . made me cry. Yeah, I’m a girl. But when you’re confronted with a tree over a 100 ft tall with no less than **12** adult trees **growing** from it’s branches . . . I dare you to be flippant. 😃

That’s cause I’m wearing the new [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) internet spray, makes my posts stand out 😉 I’m the type of person who could find a lot of enjoyment in a place like that. I’m so happy there’s so many great things to look forward to out there. Just thinking of the California air alone puts a smile on my face.

Awesome! I want some of that! When thinking of the air - just make sure you’re thinking left or right of LA. Air quality not so brilliant there - just like my hometown. You can also catch a train ride that goes the length of the state which has a ‘glass’ top so you can see the whole vista.
