Seems like MX297 projects a positive social presence. More of a comforting MX with the ladies. If that is your end game, this MX is perfect. To take it up from there… well, I think that another MX would need to be tried. It doesn’t look like rone will do it. How about none? I was curious about the guys in your post, seemed to not show you respect. The other variable in the equation is your own mone production. Some guys have posted this MX as a ‘perfect for clubbing’ spray…
If it is some TAL in MX297, then, it would come across in a similar fashion, to your experience in a guy. Beta-ish when a guy wears it.
You got me thinking about this, as when my wife used MX297, she gets a boost in confidence, spring in her step kind of vibe. I’ve gotta order her some more! 
Female reaction to this MX is a stronger feminine presence.
Here’s a Jas quote on TAL and I was digging into the MX297 and TAL and found this post by the man himself.
“The TAL would make women aggressive and direct (chime in here, Taoist Biker and others!) and also reduce LMR.” -*** Jas ***
