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 your 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. > [@cordless](#): > > I’ve not used P74 or IO straight up yet. I’ve used CTTM2 (which has IO and IH in it). So, I can’t compare MX297 to them. The akuto scent is wonderfully paired with this MX package. I’ve been using it as a straight social and have found success with it. Some on here believe that 297 will make you beta, but hey, **you can’t always be an alpha in every circle**. --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/the-cordless-journal/55300)._
