I gave my friend a bottle of Shine and Openness the other day, and he wore it to the Getty Center (ritzy museum) today, with fantastic result! Here, fellas, I’ll post a transcript of what he said, edited for conciseness:

(12:37:36 AM): oh yeah, so pheromones worked today at Getty  
(12:37:47 AM): and on my friend’s GIRLFRIEND  
(12:38:42 AM): OK, so i ordered a hot dog (of course) and the chick at the stand and i made little sexual innuendos back and forth about the hot dog  
(12:38:47 AM): it was awesome  
(12:39:36 AM): but the dudes didn’t seem to dig me as much  
(12:39:44 AM): maybe because his gf was being nice to me  
(12:41:01 AM): she would laugh at all my jokes, even though they are really dumb  
(12:41:54 AM): and he would start to get angry with me, but didn’t want to be obvious about it  
(12:42:47 AM): and you know that garden? i pretended like it was skeeball and tried to throw my quarter into the center circle to get more ‘points’ – and he started to walk away because he thought we’d get in trouble  
me (12:43:25 AM): did he get more protective?  
(12:43:32 AM): yeah, totally  
me (12:43:33 AM): how did YOU feel?  
(12:43:46 AM): i felt great, i was having a total blast  
(12:43:53 AM): [he went with] this guy Fred and his girlfriend brook  
me (12:44:01 AM): who invited you?  
me (12:44:05 AM): the guy or girl  
(12:44:08 AM): guy  
me (12:44:14 AM): and HE was being all distant?  
(12:44:46 AM): and that’s when we made fun of all the stuff, and he pretended to get offended! it was so lame  
me (12:45:32 AM): so how did other people react? Strangers?  
(12:46:22 AM): I made a really off color joke and the whole place started laughing, but i don’t think small amounts of pheromones could change a whole room, can it?  
(12:46:38 AM): because i was getting positive reactions across the board  
(12:46:51 AM): except with very serious people  
(12:48:05 AM): it did make me feel better, and when i feel good, i make others feel good. or i try, at least

He used 3 squirts each of IShine and [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), applied to wrists and neck. Neat!

Geez. I know it’s just the accuracy of my descriptions (other people have commented on this), but… if I didn’t know better (this is your friend that loathes reading, right?), I’d say he took this right out of the sales copy for Instant Shine where! I describe behavioral feedback loops there.

Really interesting stuff.

I wonder what the avoidance from his male was about. Just [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/) and IShine, right?

Most reports are that this is a very positive combo among men.

Did he use pheromones the previous day? Any “heavy” stuff?
