Hello everyone, I am a male student living in Southern California, and I am completely new to the use of pheromones. I have known about pheromones and their effect on people since the movie “Batman and Robin” came out (the one with George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzennegger, and Uma Thurman). Uma Thurman’s character, Poison Ivy, blows pheromone dust at people to get them to fall for her. I knew that pheromones were real, but I never knew that they could actually be used in such a way in real life. I kind of thought that it was just some sort of obscure form of science that wasn’t really applicable without a degree in organic chemistry. While we’re talking about organic chemistry, I’m a second year university student studying Biological Sciences, in hopes of entering the medical field. I’m currently taking organic chemistry, so I how pheromones work to be extra interesting. I was surfing the forums, and there are quite a few interesting articles about the different functional groups and their effects on the body. Just today, I was talking to my friend about how the use of regular cologne seemed to have a positive effect on people, and how smelling good seems to make people like you more. I’m not even kidding, just using regular cologne seemed to have a more positive effect on people in general, especially females. My friend then engaged me in a discussion about pheromone-based scents, and referred me to this website. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first, but after hearing some good stories from my friend, and after reading the numerous testimonials, I got extremely curious. If I didn’t get a firsthand account from my friend, I probably would have remained skeptical, with no intention of trying any of the products. I’m a social guy, but leaning more toward the shy side, so I generally don’t initiate conversations with other people. I usually require the other person to engage me in a conversation first, because I wouldn’t really go out of my way to introduce myself. I’m curious how the use of any of these products will affect me, and cause more people to want to talk to me, for starters. I’m looking forward to trying them out. If these products work as well as everyone seems to say they do, I’ll gladly make the switch from regular cologne to these products. I’m a college student, so by definition I have very little money to my name, and nice smelling cologne sure isn’t cheap. The [pheromone products](https://a314.com/shop/) here cost much less, and seem to have more bang for their buck, and I’m looking forward to testing them out, and hopefully, adding some positive testimonials of my own. Well, that’s that. Hope you all have a nice day, and I look forward to talking to everyone on these forums! -Buoy ---

Hello Buoy,Welcome to the forum.Its ok to be skeptical. i think we all were before we actually tried the products. You said that you were shy and didnt talk much so you should think about IO. Its coined the “icebreaker” product around here. It can make you seem more appraochable and make you and the people around you more chatty. Are you looking for just a social product or are you looking for an attraction product as well?AMMO is a great attraction product. It great for people around your age because it is just as much sexy as it is social. Pair it with [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) and it can really help with your confidence. I personally started with AMMO, IS, and IO and here I am 2 years later and I still use that combo.Hope this helps!Again, welcome ---

Welcome Buoy! If you are looking for some essentials, I would go AMMO, [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), and Instant Shine. I think this would be a good start since you are focused on price and money. You can start off with the To-Go, if you aren’t willing to take the dive on the full bottle. Although, I would go with a full bottle of AMMO. In my experience, I’ve gone through my AMMO the fastest. Now, you have to understand that pheromones are not a magic pill that will change your life. It is a good way to help start conversations, but you need to work on yourself as well. Be confident and be stylish. You don’t have to buy the latest $100 shirt. Just something that you can afford. I would spend some money on 1 good outfit, an outfit that you can go out to the bars (if you are drinking age) or to a local social event/place. Well, good luck! The guys and gals here are the greatest! So don’t hesitate to ask questions. ---
