The real estate adage is ‘location, location, location’. That is the first half of a good phero-strategy, and one which jojo hit out of the park: choose your venue carefully, a place where you can leverage your strengths.
But there ~are~ people who either consciously or unconsciously are cloud-riders (or cock-blockers?) Guys who step right in front of me, or insert themselves between me and a target, or who seem to deliberately come over to stand next to me bringing a target with him on the other side: inevitably in this last case the guy’s back is to me while he talks to the target … and he happens to be “in” my cloud. A “free ride”.
Actors have been upstaging one another for centuries; this is no different.
So choosing a location that makes “upstaging” difficult is one aspect. Getting footloose is another. If you move around, at least a minimum, then no one can steal your cloud. Your pherotrail will lead to you with a likelihood that approaches probability = 100%.
Only if you are lazy and latch onto a spot can someone upstage you. If you’re mobile, even if someone else is AMOGing, people will unconsciously ~know~ the pherotrail is yours. Even if they are reacting to the pheros, becoming more talkative (or more horny) and interacting with the AMOG, they will know (even if unconsciously) that the pheros stimulus came from you.
Also, don’t be afraid of walking away from someone you’ve opened, go talk to someone else, come back when it pleases you. Especially do not fear “losing ground” with a target when someone steps in and blocks you or is riding your cloud. Walk away. Walk back. Enhance the trail gradient.
How you make them realize CONSCIOUSLY that you’re the pherosource is up to you. How you get them to conceptualize it is another thing. Being congruent to the pheros is one way, for sure. Out-AMOGing the AMOG is another. Being patient, repeating the phero-exposure, building tension, flirting, … this may take more time but may also pay much higher dividends.
