So yea, as stated in the title, is over-usage possible? I’m not talking about using too much at once and ghosting (though I realize that ghosting could have more meanings, lol). I guess to refine my question and give a background at the same time:
So I’ve started using pheromones at work and just in general with fairly consistent success (the hits are usually small, but definitely makes work more enjoyable
). And thus far I have been sorta mixing it up everyday mostly for experimental purposes to see what works best with the people I work with. However, I feel like in the end, there’s probably only about 2 or so hits that are useful (with the stuff I got for work specifically). Also I’ve read that if you use the same mones with people you see often, they could potentially recognize it. This is actually fine for me, however I’m thinking if they could have olfactory recognition, then could they also develop a form of immunity to the effects? Also there’s been many reports of the self effects diminishing over time, so if this can happen to you then could the same happen to the people who smell you as often as yourself (co-workers)?
With this in mind, are there any suggestions? Here’s are the possible methods I have in mind to potentially combat this (assuming it exists in the first place). Limiting to only 1-2 different mixes a week. Alternate each week with a minimum of 2 weeks in between reusing the old mix. This way they get 2 weeks to break off any accustomation (I not it’s not a word, but it conveys my thought
) to the mixes used that week, kinda like muscle confusion applied to your olfactory.
As I was writing this, I noticed another possibly much simpler method. How, about using not worrying about mixing up mones signals, but instead focus of making the best of the mones, as in learn as much from the people (essentially learn how to master that 90% you part so that when you’re not using the 10% you can still achieve similar results). And then after a certain time, completely lay off on the mones using them only as boosters for especially bad or important days. I realize that this may be second nature to some but I will admit I have no street smarts and I am very bad at reading people all the while be a people pleaser (with limits of course).
But yea, if someone would just state that I am fretting too much and this is most likely never happen, then that would be great,
. Thank everyone for all your input. ![]()
