I received my order of pheromones yesterday. So I decided to field-test some of them. Before going out to a trivia night at a bar, I put on the following.
MX297 - 2 sprays on temples, 1 each
IH - 2 sprays on sides of neck, 1 each
P131 - 1 spray on forehead @ 5 mcg/spray
Bvlgari Aqva cover scent
I arrived at the bar, ordered my beer, and we started with trivia contest shortly later. These are the following reactions I observed.
Self
Demographic: male, 32, Caucasian
Inconclusive. I was also testing the self-effects of P122 the same night, which I sprayed on my upper lip, so the P122 effects predominated over anything I sprayed on other parts of my head. It made me feel ill-at-ease, but the feeling passed when I arrived at the bar.
Waitress
Demographic: female, late 20’s, Caucasian
No real difference from how waitresses usually treat me. She brought my drink orders pretty quickly, and took the time to patiently answer my questions. Although, this might be a hit after all, since it was a trivia night, and the bar was pretty crowded. I wasn’t paying attention to how quickly she brought drinks to other people at my table.
Man across from me
Demographic: male, mid 40’s, Caucasian
He was pretty friendly to me, although he gave off a friendly vibe in general when I first saw him. We exchanged comments about which beers are good, as well as answers to trivia questions. I didn’t notice anything different than how I imagined he’d act if I weren’t wearing pheromones.
Woman to my left
Demographic: female, late 20’s, Caucasian
She was pretty friendly too. We exchanged a few jokes, and she even chimed in when she overheard me talk to the man in the last paragraph. I did a few flirty maneuvers, like a momentary touch on the arm when talking. Her reactions were neither positive nor negative. She wasn’t repulsed by it, but also didn’t flirt back; basically, she acted like it’s no big deal.
Woman to my right
Demographic: female, 30’s or 40’s (hard to tell), Asian
She was the only person where I noticed somewhat negative hits. Other than when the host asked questions, the music in the bar was kind of loud. So I had to lean in toward her to talk or listen to her. And whenever I’d lean in, she’d lurch away a little bit, like she was intimidated or uncomfortable. I adjusted my behavior by leaning in a little less.
Other people at my table
Demographics: late 20’s to late 40’s, mostly Caucasian
They sat too far away from me to be much affected by my pheromones, but the answered me pretty quickly. One other thing that caught my attention is that at the end of the contest, everybody dispersed almost instantly. Although it was late on a weeknight, and people had jobs to get to next day.
