Hey all, This has been on my mind for the past 3 days or so: Should we pool our resources together and engage in a more formal investigation of the effectiveness of [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/)? I’m proposing that we methodically experiment with pheromones and observe/measure the results - along the lines of clinical/social research. This takes considerable time and effort. So, there must be a good number of people (men & women) interested for such a project to take off. Let me know what you guys/gals think. Best, Man Friday. ---

Hmm, I don’t know… For me it’s enough to know that they work - I don’t really need a kind of official study. Why would you want something like that?? ---

Yes, they do “work”, but how/for whom/under what circumstances/with whom do they work, and when they don’t work are things that are quite unclear. What we might obtain from the results of such a study: 1. A clearer and more vivid (measured) picture of the effectiveness of pheromones in different situations. 2. Users can select products/application points/targets/situations/timings much better. First-timers will benefit the most. 3. Appropriate usage will probably increase “hit rate” and reduce the number of disappointed users who may have failed merely because of the wrong approach. \*]Knowing the limitations of pheromones clearly, will prevent unreasonable ideas of a “panacea” for men or "mind control"for women. Of course, this is only a suggestion. I’m just curious if anyone else feels the same way. ---

Indeed, if a majority of the population start using it, you will need them simply to compete with other males… Its best as it is… ---

There has been and is continuing scientific mone research on a wide scale. You don’t have to look very far to find the published research. The only question is can you understand the jargon and bizzarre scientific sentence structure to tell what the hell they said.

Few people here (including the most experienced users) have the credentials, or the scientific know-how to conduct something like that have anyone really take it seriously. There are numerous legitimate studies, from legitimate scientific minds, out there that look at the effectiveness of pheromones. As Geoggi mentioned, many are available on the forum here. Pay particular attention to posts from JVkohl. ---

I’m in total agreement with Sigma and Gegogi , Not to mention The time factor and all the scientific jiberish would be a giant Downer And take all the fun out of our Layman experimentation of these products.😮 P.S Leave the chemistry of Pheromones to the Scientist who actually gets paid for there time. ---

Manufacturers and distributors of these Pheromones ,Whether it is this site or others is mass public knowlege , The more people who know the more money they make IN sales, thats the nature of there business.🙂 ---

> [@richuroo43](#): > > Heres my question why do many people online say that pheromones don’t work and some say they do work? One main factor for this is that a lot of products out there do not work - simply because they don’t contain -mones or too few or they are composed without the knowledge that is needed for them. This way tons of people get the impression that mones do not work… And secondly, a lot of people have false expectations. I’m guilty of hoping to have attractive women dragging me into a dark corner and doing the nasty. The results often aren’t that obvious… ---

> [@richuroo43](#): > > Heres my question why do many people online say that pheromones don’t work and some say they do work? Because most people haven’t tried pheromones for themselves. Most people think the idea that pheromones affect human behavior is absurd without taking a chance to try them out themselves. ---

> [@sigma](#): > > Because most people haven’t tried pheromones for themselves. Most people think the idea that pheromones affect human behavior is absurd without taking a chance to try them out themselves. I’d say some are even afraid of trying them, because they have the impression that the use of pheromones could counteract the free will - they simply have a wrong image of how mones work on humans… ---

Yeah, whether they work or not is a matter of perception sometimes. If you expect women to blatantly walk up and demand sex, it’s probably not going to happen. What I think is a reasonable expectation is to make them more attracted/interested. One must be able to read these signs and take it from there with one’s own social skill. It’s pretty hard to be a slob+jerk and expect great results. ---

> [@richuroo43](#): > > Heres my question why do many people online say that pheromones don’t work and some say they do work? Like some of the inputs above say, pheros do not counteract free will but it can give others the impression that you are sexy, charismatic depending on what pheros you use. They merely open a few doors here and there and the rest is up to you, thats why a preferred combination with pheros is the Mystery Method.
