I posted this here:
I recommend you take a look at Cordless’ journal as he does provide some insight, IMO, to mone applications.
One thing I also thought about is that being in situations where you let others take the lead, this will, of course, impact how others will perceive you. What your status happens to be in your social group. HOWEVER, each ONE of us can CHANGE that signal around, becoming involved in modifying our social status. Our mones will help, but we steer them with our body language, facial expression, behaviour, and even our tone of voice. Time delay from the transgression will help, as it will not be fresh in mind, however, you will STILL need to be active in your ‘social salvage’ operation.
Sorry, I got a bit ahead of myself, sort of like the cart before the horse with my wandering comments here. It will become clearer as you read on. Scouts honor! 
Onwards! To my post on the Cordless’ journal! 
What I emphasized from your comment below, that is so true. The mones provide the chemical signal but YOU provide the social finesse to make the mones blossom. You need to be flexible in your interactions with others.
Here is my thought process on this. Wearing IO or CTTM2 may incline people to come and search you out for your opinion or thoughts. People seem to have an unconscious inclination to a hierarchical social structure where some are the leaders and some are not. Does that mean, because you wear IO YOU will need to know it all? Of course not. Sometimes, we all have to let others lead because that person ‘has’ to lead (knows the way, has in depth knowledge, etc), and we DON’T, or at least shouldn’t, take offense that that person is now the center of attention. Even at our expense.
If taken wrongly, and I grumble, hem and haw about it or just become disagreeable, such unpleasant messages as these in a particular group can cause from a discomfort to be around me to a disdain from those in the group. EVEN IF I’M WEARING IO, CTTM2, IShine, ETC! My social standing has suffered and mones will NOT clear things up, UNLESS, my actions in the group are also modified.
You can either be the person who others can look up to, believe in, and trust or become egotistical in your interactions to the detriment of your social position in you group.
A person cannot ALWAYS lead, know it all, and be ‘alpha’. A person needs to have the strength of character to know when to lead, when to follow and always respect and dignify others. Your body language, behaviour, and attitude have to dynamically change in your social environment.
