Incredibly fun hits with MX353 at a salsa dance night
I touched on this night briefly in my previous thread: Confusing hits on a first date. ??? Please advise.. Well, the salsa night came, and the cute Latina girl I had my eyes on didn’t show up. No big deal. Seven people did show up. We met by the entrance, and proceeded inside. That’s where we found out that 90% of people there were at least 50. The dance studio was located next door from a 55+ condo complex, so no surprise there. When our group saw the studio, four people bailed immediately, leaving just three: me, a girl in her late 20’s, and a guy of similar age. The salsa instructor called everyone to gather around, and the lesson began. I was wearing the following:
MX353: 2 sprays, 1 on each wrist
Instant Gentleman: 1 spray on neck
P131: 1 spray on neck
MX297: 1/2 spray, inside nose (for self effects)
Cover scent: Lacoste cologne
These are the hits that transpired. On the whole, I have to say they were FUN hits, rather than SEXUAL hits.
Self
I was acting more assertive with guys, and more flirty with girls. Other than that, very similar to the kind of person I’d like to be when out in public.
The guy
Demographics: Caucasian, late 20’s
He seemed to act unusually deferential, albeit in a dignified manner, toward me. For example, he went along with my suggestions to sit at a specific table, and honestly answered by questions when I subtly tried to find out if the girl in the group was single. (She was.) He also showed no resistance when I flat-out refused to drive to a bar at a later point; my logic was that driving to bar kills the point of going there. We walked to a different bar, not as nice, but closer. Me and him still had good conversations, and he complimented me on doing a good job dancing with other people.
The girl
Demographics: Caucasian, late 20’s
This girl seemed to have adopted a “damsel in distress”-like behavior. She talked in a high-pitched voice, showed no resistance when we took goofy selfies together (although she took them with the guy too), danced very closely with me, and totally let me pull her into a dip at the end of a song. The last two are debatable in terms of being hits; she said she does a lot of swing dancing (although salsa was new to her), and experienced dancers often have an inordinately high comfort level with body proximity. At the end, she hugged me like I was a long-lost friend: not sexual at all, but nothing like that A-frame “I don’t really like him” hug, either.
Fellow dancers
Demographics: mixed, late 20’s to late 60’s, mostly older
The instructor had people rotate partners every five minutes, giving me plenty of opportunities to test out the hits. This is where things got really polarized. The nicest hits came from Southeast Asian women. They smiled, asked me “get to know you” questions, and even if I stumbled through a move I didn’t know, they were very nice about getting me back on track. Slavic/Eastern European women produced the worst hits. They did not smile, tried to backlead (that means doing their own moves instead of following my lead, good or bad; it’s a dance etiquette breach), and even acted snippy if I stumbled. Caucasian American women, including the only 20-something girl outside my group, were in between these extremes.
Bar employees
Demographics: female bartender: Caucasian, early 30’s
Demographics: male manager: Caucasian, early 40’s
The studio did not have a bar, so at one point, the three of us decided to walk to a dive bar one block over to load up a little. (The group originally wanted to drive somewhere else, but I refused.) The bartender, although a totally sweet girl, had a major DIHL when I asked her for an obscure whisky brand. She even called her manager, who was equally friendly, but equally confused as well. I settled on Johnnie Walker. We drank more shots, thanked the workers, and walked back.
Instance of aggression
Demographics: Caucasian, about 55
At one point, I accidentally sat in someone’s chair. When the original person returned, he practically went off on me, saying his wife was sitting there. I said “hey, I’m sorry” in a tone that was supposed to be a mix of an apology and standing my ground, before moving to another chair. But his tone of voice was clearly an androstenone-triggered aggression.
Closing thoughts
I’m having so much fun with MX353. I like it a lot better than MX297, which has been giving me mostly no-hitters. I’ve used MX353 in another dance class before, and it was a boundary eraser. Women danced chest-to-chest with me like it was nothing. I had similar hits this weekend. But I wonder about one thing: Why such polarized effects with the dancers? That, and any other thoughts you wish to share.
