Day 1: Instant Shine 2X - One Spray
The Results
One thing I should have done while I was waiting for the pheromones to arrive is establish a clearer baseline. I have a pretty good idea about how people react to me, but I didn’t do any testing specifically acting one way without the pheromones then acting the same way once I was wearing the goods.
I do smile at people on the street, but not every day. I do try to project a confident aura, but I’m not sure I would say I spend a lot of time projecting the type of youthful happiness Instant Shine is supposed to bring out.
(By the way, thinking about this stuff reminded me of this classic sketch of “The Best Looking Man in the World”:
I hope no one here acts like this on Instant Shine or Ammo.)
In any case, I started with one single, solitary spray of Instant Shine from a 30mL bottle. It’s the 2X strength, though. I have never been a cologne wearer, so I was hoping the scent wouldn’t be too strong. It was all right. Not that strong and a pretty inoffensive aroma.
I wanted to spray it on my hair, so I aimed at the side of my head, not anticipating just how much surface area the spray would cover. Most went on my hair, but some went onto the side of my face.
I left for work and on the way to the train, I walked past a cute Asian girl. I had a happy expression and she brushed her hair out of her face in a way that might have been flirty. If it was, I don’t know that the pheromones were the catalyst, since she did it when she was more than a few feet away and upwind from me. But I do understand that even if IS gets me hits just because I am smiling more and looking happier, it will still be a success.
On the train, another cute woman was standing about four feet away from me and fussing with her hair. She was also occasionally glancing at me in the reflective window. That might have been a hit. Another woman returned my smile after I got off the train, but she didn’t hold eye contact. She kind of turned her head as she smiled.
At work, unfortunately, the women I was going to talk to first were either busy or not there, so I didn’t get to interact with either of them. I only chose them because I had a good excuse to go to their desks, since they were nominated yesterday for awards that my company gives out. By the time I got to interact with any female coworkers (besides one that always talks to me every day), it was more than four hours since I had applied the IS.
But, the girl I did see was one of the cutest ones on my floor. We’ll call her “Cute New Girl,” because she just got done with training.
Cute New Girl was chatting with one of her hangers-on. There aren’t that many beautiful young girls on my floor, so the prettier ones tend to get these guys orbiting them - more about that later. I was there less than a minute, but I made a joke that involved me rather aggressively bumping my shoulder into a male coworker that happened to pass by at exactly the right moment. She laughed and I left.
A note about this girl: she really loves to laugh. When she first started, I was really on and made her laugh a lot, but I changed desks almost right away, because I was promoted. So, I’m guessing she is a little intrigued by me. I never paid that much attention to her, but I’m funny. She could be interested to find out more.
A couple of hours later, I washed where I applied the IS previously and I applied another spray to the same area. About fifteen minutes later, I went over to talk to a cute black girl, but she didn’t even look up from what she was working on. I gave her something to correct and left. She dropped off the correction a short time later. She’s never seemed particularly interested in me, so it’s not that big of a deal.
About a half hour after my second application of IS, I went over to see the girl I’m going out with (FWB), who happens to sit next to Cute New Girl, with a high cubicle wall between them. Their supervisor was there helping Cute New Girl. When he was done, he, my FWB, and I all joked around for a while, pretty loudly. After a while, Cute New Girl interrupted because she had a question, and she kind of hung back around a corner while asking it.
I really think she could have waited to ask the question, but maybe she wanted to be in on the conversation but was a little shy. It was a quick question she asked the supervisor, and I turned his response into a joke that she laughed at. She leaned over to see my face, but someone was in the way and we kind of looked at each other around the obstruction while she laughed. I think that was a blessing in disguise, adding to the intrigue, provoking her to want to see more of me.
I left work with my FWB. We always get along great and I am always happy around her, so nothing else to report here for today.
The Strategy
Here are the main players (with races included in the interest of noting any differences in effects among different races):
My FWB - “Friend with benefits” is a colossal understatement. I will use Turn Up the Heat and probably TAC with her one day. She will tell me if I smell bad or act too far out of character.
She is a pale white girl.
Cute New Girl - Young, pretty, and smart. I will try to be around her a lot more and occasionally try to draw her into my conversations with my FWB. I will be cheerful and upbeat around her. If I notice the pheromones have a clear effect on her, I will pull back some and see if she starts seeking me out. Instant Shine, alone or with Ammo, might be the key.
She is also white.
Shy New Girl - Another girl I have barely interacted with, but who I think might be attracted to me. She is very cute and has a body I just want to plow in to. I don’t know much about her, but there’s a rumor she won’t be at the job long, because she is pursuing a different trade. Maybe Instant Gentleman will be her preferred potion?
She is black.
GoT Girl - A dark horse candidate who I bonded with over Game of Thrones. She is around 30 and not quite as cute as the others, but still good-looking and easy to get along with. This might be another job for Instant Gentleman, since I’m already pretty Instant-Shiny with her.
She is also black.
Friend Zone Girl - My primary target at the beginning. I’ve known her a couple of years, and I really think we could have/should have had sex already. Things just never connected right, but we are friends and she is extremely easy to talk to. She dated another guy at work while I was with my previous girlfriend, and it ended poorly. I’m guessing she’s promised herself she will not get involved with another coworker. And therein, my friends, lies the challenge. (Ammo + Instant Shine, then get her to go to dinner, and ramp it up with something sexier?)
She is white.
Tomorrow, I will continue testing one spray of Instant Shine 2X and I will try to be around more people.
