Seasons Greetings..

Hello all. I’ll try to keep this brief and interesting as possible. I came across this forum through doing a search on google for pheromones. Needless to say, all this reading material has certainly piqued my interest many times over! First let me know introduce myself. I am a 22 year old single female and a recent college graduate. I have now started to settle back in NY where I was born and raised trying to adjust to post-graduate life. The transition in my case turned out to be more difficult than I thought! Maybe it’s all the time I have on my hands job-hunting but occasionally, I get concerned with “those” thoughts. Certain thoughts anyway, :wink:

I have bought a supposedly popular pheromone in the past with mixed results. Actually I’m still not quite sure if it had an effect on anybody or perhaps it was the wrong product I may have mixed it with. So here I am with attempt # 2.

I have always had trouble with the opposite sex in the dating dept. I do admit that I am rather shy and not as outgoing as other women my age (as my username may suggest hehe). Thankfully, I’m not as coy as I was years ago but I still can’t bring myself to approach men with a romantic interest in mind. So, I’m hoping maybe Smartmones could help me out here and give me that “something something” to help break the ice and improve my overall aura.

I’m looking to place my first order soon. Though I am rather curious about its results, I am also wondering what difference it would make in my day-to-day life. I have heard feedback from others that my body language may send mixed messages when first meeting so hopefully the Smartmones might block or counteract that.. :slight_smile:

Hey there Violet and welcome to the forums! I feel for you as far as the college graduate part goes… i graduate in another semester and it’s going to be a HUGE change moving back to my hometown. :frowning: But c’est la vie and all that jazz. Roll with the punches!

So first of all, let me tell you that pheromones wont change how you or others behave, not completely. They will give cues to make someone act a certain way, such as instant openness will cue someone to be more talkative and open, but body language and environment do still factor in. If you are at a bar, sitting in the corner and reading a book, chances are all the Instant Openness in the world isnt gonna bring the hot hunk at the other end over to say hi. Or if you’re in the library, chances are people will ignore that urge and stay silent. And these pheromones are meant to affect how others feel about you, not how you feel about yourself.

Now, that being said, here’s the good news. Some of these products DO have a self-effect, although its not their main appeal. Instant Shine has been reported to give alot of people a little extra confidence, as well as make you look “healthy and glowing” to other people. That would be my first recommendation to you. Instant Openness helps people, well, open up. Become more talkative and friendly. From when i’ve worn it, ive also noticed an urge to be more friendly as well… but then, im always open, so its not a stretch for me. :roll_eyes: It’s the kind of thing that you can either ignore or go along with though. So make sure to just say “oh what the hell” and go with it. It’ll feel great. :wink:

Now let’s see… you have an option for the next product. There is Instant Sexiness A and B. Instant Sexiness A is more of an Angelina Jolie feel (strong, confident, and sexy), while Instant Sexiness B is more of a Marilyn Monroe feel (soft, kittenish, and sexy). They both are GREAT for attracting the guys, but you need to be honest and say which one your behavior fits more. :stuck_out_tongue:

Now, those are my suggestions. Here comes the hard part. While wearing those pheromones, you have to look around at the guys, keep them in your peripheral vision. When a hunk gives you the eye, smile back. Maybe even go over and talk to him! And remember, you have an edge up on everyone else there… a secret weapon that they dont even KNOW about. That should help you feel a bit more confident. :wink:

Well, hope you have fun trying out your products and good luck snaring the men of NYC! Cheers!

HI there,

Welcome to the forum.

What phero have you used before? You should try phero form Androtics. They are genuine and strong.

To counter your shyness, try Shine. It boost confidence. It can lighten your mood and the people around you too.

FOr attraction, try Instant Sexiness A and B. A is to make you sexy and tough like Angelina Jolie. B will make more feminine like Monroe. YOu will be the centre of attraction.

Good luck

Welcome Violet-

I would suggest IO to help open those up around you and getting people to talk to you, because I suspect as you relax you will are more open correct?
Probably help in the getting guys to approach you, would be better, particularly in a romantic way. Starting with Social pheromones IO or IH would be a good start. Then graduating to IH and some ISEX for dates or one to one settings.

Instant Shine would also help, as it will help with relaxing, and help boost your happiness level.

Hi Violet, Welcome to Pherotalk :slight_smile:

What product did you use before that didnt work for you ? This will help me figure out why and what will work for you.

Mones can be subtle but they really can improve socialization and you life on many levels. Please read “what mones can do and what they cant do”
there is a link to it in my signature below this post. Basically they evoke emotion in people and this is what they are reacting to.

I dont want to give you a full recommendation until I you tell me what you used but I will give you a basic run down on where to start.

Instant sexiness A or B Every women should have a bottle of this stuff. A is confident strong sexy attractive. B is more girly soft kittenish. I would suggest A for you.

I suggest IO to help combat the shyness and increase socialization.

Ishine for a charismatic upbeat vibe.

MX135 for a fun, sassy sexy center of attention effect.

If you have questions just ask. Your GC is on its way and I look forward to chatting with you in the forum

Hi everybody. And thank you for the warm welcoming. You can call me Vie for short. I have definitely taken all suggestions into consideration. Unfortunately being that I’m in a financial bind, I need to make the wisest first purchase possible.

So far, I have added MX135, Instant O-ness, and Instant S-iness both TO GO. Suddenly Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go Go song popped into my head! Oh how some of the lyrics REALLY seem to apply! LOLLL

Anyway, I was wondering if there are any further suggestions to consider. Earlier this year, I bought Athena 10:13 pheromone with disappointing results. The product just didn’t seem to deliver like I had hoped it would. I’m not sure where I went wrong but I suppose I could be partly to blame? Being that I am rather shy in social situations or sometimes even in hum drum everyday situations.

I recall an occasion where I was in the basement of my school’s library one evening before a big finance midterm, about to walk up the steps. In the middle of the steps, there was a fairly handsome guy standing on the platform between the ground floor and the basement typing on his cell phone. He saw me approaching the steps and we made eye contact. Judging from his widened eyes, I suppose he found me attractive. I’m just mesmerized that someone can find me attractive and display it in such a way. That was the first time someone has given me the deer in the headlights look. No one has ever done that before … or SINCE, LOL. Being the way I am, I was definitely caught off guard and therefore, didn’t know what to do. How confident, huh? So I just looked and walked right past him knowing I’ll only regret it seconds later but by then, it was too late to do anything about that.. I just feel like kicking myself everytime I reflect back on that.

Had he said anything to me, I would have definitely responded except he didn’t and I could tell he was shy also. I know some guys need some encouraging factor to help the break the ice in those type of situations. It just puts girl like me in an uncomfortable position b/c the window of opportunity closes very quickly or he’ll get the idea that I’m not interested. *Siiigh. I don’t want it to become some staring match. A little less fight and a little more spark if you get what I mean, lol.

I just hope Smartmones can help address that. I’m sure once I finally get to test it, I’ll step up my game also. :smiley:

I just have a quick question regarding the different strengths and formulations for men and women. If someone can help clear up the confusion, that would be great. As far as I can see, some of the formulas such as Instant Shine are androgynous. Is that correct? Even though it is labeled for men, women can use it also? Please clarify. I’m also looking to use the gratis points given to me but I don’t know how to redeem them. Should I call in for my first order then?

Yes, the social pheromones can be used by both genders. They should also be listed under the feminine pheromones as well, i thought… And you can use your points when you checkout (you mean the 500 points, yes?). Go through the checkout process and when it asks how you want to pay, go to the reward points option. If you meant your gift certificate, same thing, except choose the GC option and enter the code in. Hugs and kisses!

Hey Vie. I am a shy person myself… shyness is really just a habit. It’s not part of your identity. One thing I have been doing, which helps, is to start conversations with “hired guns”, i.e. shop assistants, check-out operators at the supermarket, the guy who makes your coffee, whoever. Once talking to people becomes a habit, it’s easier to walk up that hot girl (or guy in your case) and just say, “Hi, how’s your day been?” or whatever. If you act as if the person is already your friend, then they will tend to respond in a friendly way. Wearing the right pheromones will tend to amplify the effect of the friendliness, but the friendliness needs to be there.

Hi Violet and welcome to the forum. :slight_smile:

If you’re up for a bit of reading, check out the sticky threads at the top of the women’s forum - WOMEN’s Pheromone Advice, Tips and Tricks at PheromoneTalk.com

Hope that hepls fuel your pheromone adventures! Looking forward to seeing you around the forum. :wink:

Hi Vie,

Ishine originally came out for men hence the “for men” on the label. But the daring women had to try it and it was soon discovered we loved it more then they did LOL So yes both sexes can use it. IFM in the ladies section is different then in the mens section.

IO and IH are the same for both.

While Athena is a reputable dealer of mones her product dosnt pack much punch to it. I think you will be pleased with the products you try from here once you learn to use them.

Tisha

I find it interesting you distinguish it that way. For a long time, many people have associated shyness as a huge part of my identity, including … well, me. However, I’m slowly trying to disassociate from that. Anyway, on to your tip you provided. I realize now I actually inadvertently did that the other evening @ Whole Foods! I was chatting with an attractive male about supplements in the vitamin section and we ended up discussing different products and ailments for quite some time. I only regret that this all happened BEFORE I received my order… I would’ve loved to know what kind of outcome had I worn something that night. lol

So originally I was going to place an order with all the products repeated on this thread except I opted for MX235 instead of MX135. I’m not really fond of the chocolate-tini scent so I thought the cookie scent may be more suited for me. I understand the best way to get a handle on these is to spritz one formula at a time and make any observations on others.

However if anyone has a ratio to recommend, I’d love to hear it. Though I’m bad at interpreting ratios. Some of the lingo and ratios on here seem very comprehensive! I wonder how long it will take before I’m on the same page as the seasoned users!

Hi Violet

Little confused on “ratio” Do you mean how many sprays of MX235 would equal the same amount as MX135 ?

Its the same but I find that MX235 is less diffusive then chocolitini so I need 1 or 2 sprays more then I would normally wear with MX135.

I use 3 to 5 sprays of MX135 and 4 to 6 of MX235 to get the same results. (when worn by itself, When I wear other products layered with it I scale back a spray or two.
