It seems to be catching on with single professional types who want a chance to cruise with a friendly group without feeling like they are third wheeling with their coupled friends. It’s a short jump from a forum to a telephone. 😃 ---

Another flawless execution by DHL! Love those guys! I got the one mainline consumer product I’ve never tried. IJ.

What a fantastic day! I’m holed up at a popular southeastern beach resort waiting for cruise day. I’ve been wearing SteveO’s legendary 1B mix, this one mixed by SteveO himself. I gotta fess up here and say that it’s just not meshing with me. I feel really obliged to do the best by this mix that I can but it’s not one I can work with. I started the day with about 4 sprays and headed off to a spa appointment. New do, ponytail sent away to help somebody who needs some hair, facial,manicure, pedicure, and a bit of masochism (backwax). No pain no gain right. Anyway that was completely awesome. The sweet as pie girl who worked her magic on me really made me very comfortable and made me more handsome than I’ve ever been made before, right down to a little superman curl on my forehead. Just not feeling that there was any phero-hit though. Next it was off to get some cruise threads. Found some great silk hawaiian print shirts and a pair of silk resort trousers. Super sweet stuff and when I checked out I was told I had a fifty dollar gift cert from some previous purchases and would I like to use it today…uh “hell yeah?” Nice but it still didn’t feel pheroish. Then my phone rings and a buddy of mine invites me to dinner at a swank resaurant…on him. I jumped on that idea really quick. Of course a phone call ain’t a pherohit. Lastly, I thought I would reload the 1B and hit a strip club…maybe get a good update for Data4’s testapalooza thread. Shower and 4 fresh sprays later I was off to a club. Full nude BYOB. Sat down, poured myself a stiff Canadian Mist and Sprite, and this nubian BABE sits down and starts telling me about the radical BJ she’s gonna give me in the VIP room…Dayum, is this 1B? Nope, before I can get a buzz I’ve gotten BJ offers from a “lolita schoolgirl”, a silicon enhanced little spinner whose smile revealed a penchant for crank, and a truly gorgeous auburn haired amazon wearing a kilt (nothing underneath) and a claymore. Seriously, the claymore caused faster shrinkage than the crank teeth. This was a BJ bar right here in the reddest state in the Union. I declined on all counts. Just not my scene. I’ll keep after the 1B (and 1A) at a later date…I just can’t get a feel for the ICMs. I’ll prolly stick with the tried and true for my cruise…I’ll talk to yall in about a week! ---

By all means go with what ya know. The ICM’s will keep. I did OK with 1B. Though, I must confess, it’s not my favorite.

It’s interesting to hear that the mix didn’t mesh so well with you, and that it didn’t mesh that well with Bella either. I don’t know what’s in the mix, but I do know we’re all partial towards [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/). Do you think that preference has anything to do with it? Enjoy your cruise man, we’ll see you when you get back. 🙂 ---

Sorry to hear that the 1b aint meshing with ya Renny, but I think the ship oughta get ya over it real quick! 🙂 Maybe try wearing the 1a mix and adding a couple sprays of 1b. That’s worked pretty well for me. The 1b mix contains BetaNol, P83, TAA, P74 and [P93](https://a314.com/product/p93/). ---

Thanks Mark. It looks like a straight forward mix to me. Surprised it didn’t mesh well despite the bnol. I guess the ratios need to be tweaked a little for Renny. ---

> [@renny](#): > > Hello Pherotalkers, > > I’ve been debating a journal for a while now. The main reason I haven’t before is that I am a perfectly boring, mild mannered, romantically challenged, soon to be 46 year old shopkeeper. > > I’m M-B INTP with a heavy emphasis on the introverted part. :o Walk into my store and you might think I was the most outgoing person you ever met. Dale Carnegie and Nightingale-Conant can work wonders but they don’t really do much for your love life. In fact they can make you seem a little gay. I’m not bashing gay, it’s just that I’m not and being perceived that way is not good for an introvert’s ego. I made up my mind about this time last year to change all that. > > The first thing I had to do was lose enough weight to feel at least moderately attractive. Walking everyday and learning to stay out of drive thru’s has helped enormously in that dept. Learning to translate that winning Dale Carnegie personality into a flirting, cocky funny, guy that gets the girls is step 2. The examples on this forum (you guys know who you are) along with the sites, books and forums you all have generously posted about are helping me to do that. > > Step 3 is simply getting out of my shell and doing it. This is a small town and if I started hanging out in the only bar and hitting on the biker chicks I doubt I would be around very long. 😮 I would also be afraid of what my customer base might think. I’m starting a night class at my local CC…beginning Spanish to be exact. I doubt it will be a fertile ground for babe hunting in and of itself, but it should be a place to start making acquaintances with the single population in a subtle but productive way. > > So this journal is about renny learning the ropes of socializing. Pheromones will be the focus of course. I wasn’t really planning to take my life in this direction when I first ran across this forum. My initial interest in pheros was the business/sales/Dale Carnegie aspect. You PUAs and assorted bad boys and girls have inspired me to try again. Thank you and I hope this journal can in some way pay you back or at least pass it on. Hey dude…I live in a small town too and with the money I’m investing in 'nomes and an expensive David Deangelo “out of your shell” course, I’m wondering where the heck I’m gonna put it to use lol. The town I live in happens to be home to a major state university, and it loaded with beautiful college girls. Problem is, I’m 54…I’m gonna hit on college girls? I suppose I could get lucky but I’d really feel like an ass trying lol. ---

Go to the campus and pick your targets, then walk up and say to them: Hey let me ask you a quick question, if I were to take a class here do you think I’d be accepted, or would I end up being a lone wolf? If the girl’s at all intrigued you just got a foot in the door to continue a conversation. If she answers and quickly tries to walk off, go find someone else to ask. 🙂 [Previous page](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/outta-my-shell/8054.md?page=13) [Next page](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/outta-my-shell/8054.md?page=15)
