There has been talk here and there of pheromones generating effects due only to a placebo effect, to which I’ve always dismissed as nonsense.
When I wear my pheros I see definite effects and results. Granted, this could be due to preconceived notions of what to expect from those pheros. But, in testing the latest ICM 0.25.1a mix with the additional 2 molecules, SteveO, Dancing Joker and myself all came to the same conclusion about what the new molecules bring to the mix, even though we had not discussed what to expect or why beforehand, and for one of these molecules there has been no testing and/or feedback.
When 3 people can see and describe the same effects, without bias of prior reporting and feedback, the potential for any placebo effect is removed and there is obviously something going on.
On to mental conditioning:
I have not gone pheroless to a nightclub almost since I started using pheromones, and have almost come to depend on my little bottles of magic. Last night I ended up pheroless at a club.
I had been at a friends office helping setup their intranet and at around 5:00 we decided to go shoot some pool and took off to a nightclub/pool hall. At around 9:00 he left, and I decided to stick around.
I realized that I was pheroless, and seriously considering running home to spritz myself with something, but decided against it. The club was not all that busy and I really wasn’t expecting or looking to meet anybody anyway. Besides, I figured it’s a good opportunity to see how well I do without anything on.
While I didn’t get any unsolicited IOI’s or DIHL looks, I did meet several women, and once I opened them and we got to talking I forgot I was pheroless. I ended up talking to 7 women throughout the night, had decent KINO going with a couple of them. And, I was as much on top of my game as if I had my strongest phero combo on.
In looking back at the night and comparing to nights out with my pheros on, I know that with pheros I am more likely to have women approach me and show interest. But, even without anything on, I still fared better than before I started using pheros.
We know that at least to some extent others will treat us as we expect to be treated and inline with how we feel about ourselves. I got used to getting attention and IOI’s from women, and even though none of the women I met made the first move, not one blew me off or showed a disinterest when I opened them.
So, my question is this: Does anybody else feel that pheromones provide not only the initial effect of generating attention, interest, respect, etc. from others, but also help to gradually shape our core inner beliefs and feelings about ourselves, what we project, and how we expect to be treated?
