I’ll begin with this; I’ve heard of 'mones for years now, always thought it was glorified snake oil. Ads and claims of magical colognes that would instantly arouse a woman and have her throwing herself at you with no relent. Pure sex in a bottle. Well obviously, if it works people must be going crazy over the stuff. Nope, just a few random websites with people selling them, making insane claims and raking in money. (This was around 2005 or so, I was in high school at the time, read as, that time when ANYTHING to increase your chances of getting laid was worth it’s weight in gold.)
Needless to say, I’m a skeptic and a pessimist, my glass is usually half empty, or half full of piss. If you’re looking for an honest and down to earth log of someone who isn’t going to feed you BS, this is it.
Let’s begin this story with some background on me, hard to picture it without having an idea of who I am.
This used to be me:
I am a 22 year old college student in North Carolina (US) finishing up my last semester, as a freshman I was scrawny, long haired hippy-esque guy and socially awkward adjusting to the college scene. I grew up playing counter-strike and going to LAN parties with friends, not used to partying so much. Either way I adapted quickly but never felt too comfortable in the environment for a while. Eventually, one finds friends that like to go out but aren’t complete tools in the way that many are here, and the perfect balance is struck. I continued my way through college with light successes here and there, usually being a nicer guy tended to fail me, being a jackass would have resulted in me picking up more women, but I could never bring myself down to that level, it’s a self-respect thing, I suppose.
Let’s fast forward though, and run through the quick story that has been my life for the past 2 years. Guy gets job, guy meets older girl, they begin dating, she frowns upon any partying and guy takes on role of a 30-something year old man (still 20 at the time), guy is miserable but puts up with it because he cares for her and she gives him someone to care for. Fast forward, guy proposes, girl accepts, life goes on. Fast forward, girl screws around on guy with another guy, guy immediately calls it off, on top of many other problems, for guy, this was the final straw.
Guy hasn’t been out in the field for over 2 years now.
By the way. I’m guy. Including the +2 years bit.
This is me now.
Over the two years, I’ve put on weight (needed, didn’t get fat…yet), changed my hair from shoulder length to short hair, styled rigorously, and generally just got a bit better looking IMO. I suppose we all go through that final phase of coming into terms with aging at the 20-something level.
Either way, I’m newly single and honestly a bit bitter from my last relationship, who wouldn’t be? I find this attitude actually helps, because I care much less about impressing people now, which ironically impresses people. Oh society, you are a silly thing.
Needless to say, I’m ready to meet as many women as possible and have a great time patching my life back together as that of a proper college student, making up for lost time, one would say. This proves difficult in a university full of muscle-milk and steroid-ridden marines (there’s a closeby base, they’re always in town) and your general college douche-nozzles. I’m starting P90X on Monday, finally working towards the body I’ve always wanted.
GET TO THE 'MONES, I know.
So in my efforts of getting back into the scene, I’m browsing amazon and get redirected to some pheromone spray, “I remember this stuff, I wonder if it’s still a load”, sketchy Amazon reviews with all 5s and perfect grammar lead me to believe they’re faked, so I look for a community of pheromone users to get a legitimate opinion. I stumbled across here and began reading. So many people obsessed with A314, Ammo, IO, IH, IS, and random numbers, these people are hardcore, has to have SOME legitimacy if there’s such a strong user-base. Either that or I was just participating in the most elaborate con-game ever concocted. A free GC of $25 to TRY OUT the sprays? Sounds fantastic, why the hell not? I’ve been reading tons of posts with people claiming magic from these sprays, so it’s worth a shot at least.
I order (at suggestion from users) Ammo, IO, IS, and IG (and got a free bottle of IH as well!) Overnighted because I hate waiting on packages. I rush to the door to get them before I have to explain to my new roommates that I’m ordering magic spray that will attract women.
This was yesterday. I spray on one spray of IS, I love the smell, I love everything about it. I’m thinking, hell, if it doesn’t work, I still love the smell, and it was only about 20 bucks from my wallet after the shipping, I can part with that. I don’t notice much of a change, but the smell alone seemed to lift my moods, placebo on my part? Who knows.
Later on, I put on one spray of Instant Gentleman with a spray of Instant Openness and Instant Shine, head off to see some friends at the place where I used to work and then stop off to grab a few beers at the local pub. Bartender is a cute blonde girl, I’m normally pretty chatty with bartenders, but we get into a conversation about her bank and overdraft fees, and she talks to be directly about it for a while. Seemed a little more open than a bartender there usually would, but still skeptical.
Later last night I get a call from a friend to come hang out at his place, one of my best friends from my freshman days, a heavy drinker, big-time partier, always a good time. I realize there is a good chance we’ll be going downtown that night to the bars so I shower, religiously scrubbing off any mones left on me from earlier, so I can start from scratch.
I went out wearing one spray of Ammo, 1xIO and 1xIG. I’m cautious not to overdo anything as I’ve heard the stories of people ODing and turning people off. My self esteem doesn’t need that right now.
We end up meeting with a friend of his girlfriends and another good friend of mine; we all go downtown. I talk to the friend for a good while over the course of the night and she opens up to me later in the night as we throw back shots like alcoholics on a mission. I got no hits in the club, a few noticeable stares, but I’m not sure if I initiated them or not. Oh well.
We bar hop for a bit and friend grabs me to go get food at a local place where she knew the owner. While in line, she throws her cell at me with the “add contact” screen on. I haven’t mentioned it, nor even asked for her number at that time, so I was decently impressed, was it the mones, the alcohol, or me just being a fun person to hang out with? We go back to the house, and she says she’ll want to hit me up soon, I brush it off while in my head dancing, and finish the night with more beers with my guy friends. I wake up this morning with the hangover from hell and decide to start my records on the site.
Did the mones help me in the club/bars? I’m not sure, I didn’t notice a hardcore change in attitudes I’d normally get, but I did feel a bit different. Sadly, because it’s been such a long time since I’ve been in a scene like this, it’s hard to judge changes.
Did it help me with the girl in our group? Not sure, I didn’t notice any kind of magical turn of the dime, but the night ended with her forcibly getting my number, which is a bit of a rarer occasion, especially if I don’t initiate.
I’m not sure if the mones did anything at all to be honest, but I do know I had a good night on average, and I believe that even if I didn’t get hits, it should be recorded. When I came here I wanted legitimate information on mones, and when there are nothing but success stories, it makes it a bit sketchier. This is the beginning of my journey experimenting with mones, and since I’ve got 5 full bottles of to-gos, it won’t be ending too soon.
I remain skeptical in my experimentation, and still somewhat doubtful, if not with a little bit of hope. I’ve still yet to preach the hymn of mones, but I’m not out of the game yet.
Any suggestions, tips, or comments on the story, please let me know, I’d like some feedback or opinions on my mixes (too light, too strong, etc)
