Hi all; I just got my first order of [Pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) and I would like to share my experiences with you. When I ordered, I ordered trial packs because I thought it was total bs but I was curious. I am a very skeptical person when companies make claims. First of all, I am what you would call very mild and shy person. The ladies don’t give me much attention and for the most part I have very low self esteem and don’t make eye contact. I am a divorced and just turned 41 and with the way the economy has been lately, there has not been a whole lot to smile about. My experience - 2x instant open and 2x instant shine Ok - out of the shower this morning and I applied items and got dressed. Ok, Into the office I noticed our office secretary was paying quite a bit attention to me, 4 times today she came up to me and stood next to me each time when I left my office. I really didn’t think much of it, but usually she is a stern cold fish and doesn’t communicate much at all in the past. About 11am, I have a meeting with a client - She was being miss chatty for our entire meeting and there was “alot” of eye contact on both of our parts. 1pm - I went to Enterprise rent a car to pick up a rental due to my car being in the shop. The guy was processing my paperwork and I looked up behind their counter and there was a hot blonde smiling at me and giving me the look. 4:00 Coffee at Starbucks couple of women there, but I didn’t notice anything that could be considered a hit. 4:30 OMG Trip to the Chiropractors office Dr. assistant was very close to me. She keep walking by me and then she took me into the back room for my treatment. She was fumbling around alot and being really really clumbsy (Don’t know if this was a hit or not) She dropped the Electrode pads right in front of me when I was laying down on the Chiro bed and then she bent over right in my face. She was very touchy when prepping me for e stem treatment (Muscle stimulation treatments). After the treatment the doctor came in - His assistant kept coming into the room for what I thought was pretty lame excuses - Even the Dr. thought she was being a bit strange as he commented about her. 6:30 trip to supermarket - I noticed at least 2 different sexy smiles being beamed my way. I don’t know guys what do you think? I did notice also that this combo gave me quite a bit of self esteem and just made me feel good for the most part. I really enjoyed today. I will be experimenting more tomorrow. I am seriously thinking of buying a larger arsenal of products in the near future seeing what type of responses I got. 🙂 Bobby J ---

Hi, Bobby! Welcome to the forums. That’s a really great report there, and I want to suggest a possibility or two. First of all, I want to say I can understand where you’re coming from re: divorce and self-esteem issues. I was divorced 1 year ago this month and it was emotionally trying. As a result, I’ve been in a constant battle to regain my sense of self-worth, and while I’m getting better, there are still a few hurdles to overcome, so believe me, you’re not alone. As for your experiences, those are good and realistic. I wanted to say realistic specifically, because many people come into the world of pheromones skeptical, like yourself, and with expectations shaped by the popular conception of what pheromones can do. The reality of it is that they’re not inhibition-obliterating mind-control formulas that will cause a man or woman to lose their mind and sexually ravish you until you hurt. They are, however, social lubricant, gently nudging people towards the direction of sociability. Sometimes, with certain pheromones, that direction can and does turn sexual, but it requires a little prompting by the wearer. It’s good to see that you’re open-minded enough to be willing to accept that a certain look you’d never seen before can be a hit, because that’s what 95% of the hits are. It then falls on your shoulders to follow it up, letting the pheros work on those rough edges you may have. It’s not an exact science yet, and everyone’s experiences are different. Sounds like you’re off to a good start. Now, regarding my suggestion, I’ve found that for me, [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/) like Instant Shine and Instant Openness have an active life of 4-5 hours on average, yet you’re reporting hits well past that. Don’t take this as a challenge to your observations by any means, because body chemistry may also affect longevity, but let me toss something out there and see what you think: Early in the day when the pheros were still fresh, you were noticing some behavioral changes, which tilted your skepticism a bit. In so doing, you might have begun to be somewhat emboldened, willing to see things a little more detailed than you normally would as a shy guy. This goes on in minute amounts throughout the day until maybe, just maybe the reactions you were getting later in the day were as much a result of you, the person, as they may have been pheromones. This is just a little theory, and isn’t meant to be a statement of fact. One of the added benefits of pheros that a lot of us have discovered is that they help us to grow and change as people as our experiences affect us. This is a good thing, in my opinion, and is a win-win. You see and experience what pheros can do, and as a result, you change as an individual for the better. Just something to think about. Oh, and if you haven’t already (and seeing as how you only have one post as of my writing, you haven’t), post an introduction in the Introductions forum telling us a little bit about yourself, and where you’d like to go in your phero experimentation. Tisha23, our resident forum goddess, will email you a $25 gift certificate good for your next purchase. Again, welcome to the forum, and if there’s any questions you have, feel free to ask. You won’t find a nicer, more helpful group of people than this community. -D4 ---

That was a great report man, I’m curious to see what happens next. If you want you could start a Journal in the Men’s Journals section. A lot of guys in your situation (including me) would be interested.
