Let me start off by saying “thanks” to this forum for existing. Without it, I would have had to wade through countless websites designed to look like research/review sites when in fact that they are just advertisements. I’m as newbie as you can get with [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/)…thus I’m a mixed-bag of skepticism and intrigue at this point. Anyways… I’m a 28 year old graduate student living in Philadelphia. I worked for a few years, but now am looking to get into medical school. I’ve never had trouble being social or anything like that. I have great friends and my fair-share of ex-girlfriends as well. I just came out of a long-term relationship…so my main focus is to get back into the game. I’m not looking to have one-night stands or anything like that. And I’m certainly not looking to pheromones as a way to score multitude of girls/dates. I’m just interested to see if I’ve been missing something, you know? My biggest weakness isn’t getting women to get comfortable with me. In fact, I’ve always had as many girl friends as guy friends. But therein lies the double-edged sword. My non-threatening ambiance sometimes works against me, it seems. There are times when I feel I give off the “nice-guy” image too much. Furthermore, when I consciously work on being just a tad bit more…oh I don’t know “unfriendly” or “more threatening,” I seem to attract more attention from some girls. But this gets tiring. There are some guys who give off an air of confidence just by walking into a room. I want that. Confidence, at least outwardly, is about posture, facial expressions, our speech, and a lot of times the way we dress. Above all, it takes something within to pull it off. I know I can achieve these things…but sometimes I feel like I lack consistency. My confidence level seems a little too dependent on how I’m dressed, or a new haircut, or any successes in the classroom. I just wonder if there is something to pheromones that can help me maintain confidence. Any additional effects on women is a bonus. Maybe in some ways, these pheromones have a placebo effect to them. I don’t know. I don’t want to purchase a cocktail of different formulas…and I don’t want to rely on these too much. I just want to know if there is a formula for me. Thanks for all of your help in advance… 🙂 ---

Hi ljink48: Welcome to the forum. Check out some threads about A314, instant jerk, and turn up the heat. I’m not an expert on the men’s products (obviously) but I have read a number of posts about these products helping with your type of situation – being in the “nice guy” or “friend” rut. Skepticism is a good thing… ---

Heya Ljink, welcome to the forums! A healthy dose of skepticism is never a bad thing, as taught to me by my AP US History teacher several years ago. He used to lie right to our faces with some silly thing, like “the conquistador Schwartz took out an entire aztec town…”, then he’d see who connected that Schwartz is a german name. Sorry, silly tangeant. Anyways… Hmm, from what you’ve said, there could be two good things for you. Seems like you’re looking for not only confidence, but maybe more of a badass or alpha vibe? I’d probably recommend A314 or [Instant Jerk](https://a314.com/product/instant-jerk/) then. A314 is an oil product that helps give you that alpha vibe and respect from those around you, but keep in mind you’ll have to act congruently with it. You can’t act meek and mild and be expected to be seen as alpha. For me, though, it helps me act alpha, so it’s kind of a cycle… As for Instant Jerk, it’s a -none (male sexual) heavy product also mixed with some copulins (female sexual), to give you that badass “i don’t care, i just got done with someone else” kinda vibe. Quite a few of our members have been experimenting with it recently and found that they like it alot. But that’s just my two cents. I’m sure a couple more people will be along soon! Hope you have fun testing out your product and good luck! ---

> [@ljink48](#): > > I don’t want to purchase a cocktail of different formulas…and I don’t want to rely on these too much. very wise of you. it seems like you’ve established where you want to improve and how you want to do it. pheros can help. for confidence: a314 or ishine. both of these products help you exude a strong and confident image. ishine is a little less serious and works well around girls. a314 works well in a business setting. when used together, they can be very powerful. in my reports i usually term it “attacking all angles.” as for the nice-guy image, there is a product that basically flips that but i don’t have any personal experience with it, so i’ll let someone who does chime in. ---

Thanks everyone for your help. So I’ve been perusing the forums as well as the product pages for a better understanding of my options. Pretty much, I’ve limited it down to a few choices. Option A: A314 alone…since a bit of consistent confidence is what I’ve been looking for anyway… Option B: A314 in conjunction with something like TUTH… Option C: [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) + TUTH… I really like TUTH’s price point and wouldn’t mind getting it in conjunction with another product. It might be worthwhile to have in the war chest when going out. I don’t think I’ll need the ‘instant openness’ or ‘instant honesty’, at least not according to the needs they address. Any other suggestions? I realized something today. I’m actually single now. No strings attached and free to start dating again. This is gonna take getting used to…I hope whatever I purchase here kick-starts this new phase in my life. ---

Hello Welcome to Pherotalk 🙂 I would hold off on the TUTH which is very sexual and IJ which is really not the vibe your going for and check out A314 AMMO and Ishine. A314 is the Alpha male mix. Ups your status, brings more respect and powerful masculine sexiness with it. AMMO for attraction and interest. Mildly arousing and very masculine this one is great for pulling you out of the Friends box. Ishine for a warm charismatic charm and to draw people to you. If you have any questions just ask. **Your GC is on its way** 😉 Tisha Hostess/Guide ---

Thanks everyone. I think Tisha’s suggestion won me over a bit. I’m gonna try AMMO as a standalone, but will also purchase a small sample of TUTH…since it can be used in conjunction with another cologne I have. > [@tisha23](#): > > Hello Welcome to Pherotalk 🙂 > > I would hold off on the TUTH which is very sexual and IJ which is really not the vibe your going for and check out A314 AMMO and Ishine. > > A314 is the Alpha male mix.

K…last minute change of heart…haha Went with the A314. I figure it will help keep my confidence up and all of the attraction stuff I can handle on my own. 🙂 I do wonder though how all of the other ones would work. Androtics should make a product called “ **The Sampler** ” or “ **The Starter**.” All of the major products in a handy set of small vials. Reasonably price them, and get a curious guy like me to start experimenting to find the right mix. ---

I know this looks like I keep bumping my own thread but…WOW~ I ordered late last night and received my first order this morning. I ordered A314 and received a free bonus to-go bottle of TUTH double strength. So…I know the double strength TUTH is recommended for experts only. But I’m no expert. Any advice? Methods? Anything would be appreciated. ---

Use TUTH when you want to heat up the situation or move to the next level. Its also good for sexual atmospheres like clubs parties or relaxed social events. Since you have 2X you wont need much. Try splitting one spray by spraying to your wrist and then rubbing your wrist on your neck. Tisha
