Perhaps “geometry” isn’t the best word, but this has got me curious.
Lets say you apply some A314, as directed, to your own body. You’re in a confined space, lots of different people.
What I’m wondering is, how does the sense of another person pick up that it’s coming from you, and not someone else?
For instance, I’ve heard Instant Shine and other products put the people around you - and even yourself - in a good mood. Fair enough. But why is the effect of the A314 or something more specific any different?
Isn’t there a chance of “leakage” in that, when sensed by the people around you, the confident edge you’re trying to project with this chemical is targeted at someone in close proximity to you, rather than you directly?
That’s one thing I don’t get about this.
There’s also the question of detection range - how close do you have to be to someone to feel the effect? Surely if you’re at the other end of a room, even if the pheromones travels through the air to someone at the other side, how will they know it’s coming from you?
(Kind of like a bad smell in a kitchen, that you can’t locate).
I’ve just ordered $250 worth of mones to carry out some personal experimentation (until yesterday, I considered the whole thing a scam - my interest was swayed after finding this board and hearing of some of the results).
I’d very scientific in approach to anything - I want to make sure the effect is not just placebo. Looking forward to the tests.
i was wondering how they know its you,cos i read sometimes people around you get the benefit from it and not you, maybe if the person physically looks as if he fits the pheromone feeling. But maybe its a natural human thing, they can sense its from you.
the target associates the pheromones with whoever is playing the part. so with shine, theyll associate to whoever looks like theyre having a good time. if your wearing it but are sitting in a corner brooding near someone else talking up a storm and laughing, that other person will get credit for the pheromones.
also, if someone takes a hit near you, theyll notice the sensation is stronger the closer they are to you. if they walk away theyll notice that the sensation is gone too, and when they come back theyll associate it to your presence.
Yeah, I know what you’re saying - I was thinking similar.
I’m just real curious vs. the placebo effect. Like today in the gym. I think just reading this forum subconsciously triggered thoughts on communication… and I find myself chatting with 3 different people who I’ve never spoken to there before.
Typically, I just get on with my workout, keep my mouth shut and my head down, do my stuff, and leave. Today, I have some dude talking to me non-stop for 30 minutes, followed by a seasoned pro giving me tips and advice for a further 10 mins… even the gym owner came up to me and mentioned a contest they put on every couple of months that he was curious if I wanted to enter.
I’ve spoken to NONE of these people before.
I would love to say it was the mones, but seeing as I only ordered yesterday and haven’t received (let alone tested) any, that can’t be the case
Still, it makes me wonder. If I’d have applied any, I would immediately put this experience down to the chemicals, rather than the a) coincidence, or b) self-projection that it actually was.
Humans can identify an odor trail just as dogs do, though less spectacularly.
Certain moths can detect mating pheromones a MILE away.
I think it’s a matter of gradients; the dispersal of the pheros is most concentrated around the person wearing .. so it’s a bit like the kids game of “cold” : “warm” : “hot”
