Heya Lensub! Welcome to the friendliest, most informative forums dealing with the science of pheromones and how they can be used to increase social interaction! You’ve given a great start as to information that we can use to help you select the product that will give you the edge you seek, but it is really important to get information from you about who you are and what you are looking for to recommend the products that will work best for you. Sounds like you are a pretty outgoing guy no problems with shyness but you keep ending up in the dreaded friend zone? Where do you normally go to meet women and what type of women are you hoping to attract? Do you seek a long term relationship or looking to hook up as often as possible? Are you also seeking respect at work or among your peers? Do you envy the “bad boy” and want to get some of that vibe going? I always feel a little bit uncomfortable asking questions but providing the answers to such questions benefit you in 2 ways. First they help to qualify you for the $25 gift certificate mentioned earlier. And 2ndly (and most importantly, gives the type of information required) so that our resident phero experts can suggest the products, amounts and application points that will be most effective to help you acheive the level of interaction you seek. And the experts know what products mixes and ratios can help get you where you want to go. Based on what you are telling me so far, I’m thinking we need something to up your status and respectability so that the women you are going after think of you as a man instead of a little brother. At 19 you are relatively young but IG will give you the respectability typically reserved to older gents. I/G is buffered so as a newbie, who is likely itching to get your scent on you are less likely to O/D. I’m an older guy, and I recently have been wearing I/G with Instant shine and so far am very pleased with the results. A314 is another great product but there are some issues you need to be aware of. As a younger guy, you are likely producing quite a bit of androstenone or “none” already, so you want to be careful when using any non-buffered product, (such as A314) because of the heightened chance of “none” Over Dose that can result in everything from getting hassled by guys to being ignored by everyone around you. Also, the reality is that it is a lot harder for a 19 year old to be congruent to A314 than it would be for somebody who is older. Possible, but difficult especially if you have a playful personality. If you’re looking for the type of respect that the “bad boy” gets, you may want to try [Instant Jerk](https://a314.com/product/instant-jerk/). Never used it because I don’t think I could pull of being a “jerk” as easily as being a gentleman. Lots of users live by this stuff in the forums though, so as a funny guy, if your wit is more acerbic, may really be worth a try. You’ll really want to beware of O/D with this product, however because the consequences can be pretty dramatic, such as getting one’s ass kicked. Now, something important to keep in mind, is that pheros will help you achieve the social interaction you seek but, you have to do the heavy lifting. In other words, the products will help you give off a vibe, and some can even increase the wearers self confidence but you have to play the part. Think of pheros like the scent equivalent of a costume or expensive suit. They signal to your target that you are an “alpha male”, a sex god, bad boy or a charismatic fun guy, but if you don’t act the part, your targets will become confused and cease to think of you in that way. I’ve determined that one of the products used to increase attraction in females is not really working for me, because I’m failing to play the part of the “pimp” that the phero signals. No worries because due to experimentation with some of the other products, I have found some things that have positive effects that I can be more congruent with and consequently work better for me.

Feel free to correct any errors I may have made. This took forever to write, so I hope you like it. Chapter 1 Alpha Androstenone: In the forum this is commonly referred to as –none or none. It is a hormone produced in men and women’s sweat. (significantly less if women) “Androstenone is the first mammalian pheromone to be identified.” ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androstenone](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androstenone)) Androstenone has the ability to cause arousal in women during their ovulation. It also has the ability cause irr… > [@The Snook's big book o' pheros for rookies](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/the-snooks-big-book-o-pheros-for-rookies/5879): > > So many pheros, so many newbs asking the same questions… I’ll break this down in a few different ways.
