For some reason I seem to be noticing a consistancy with the use of pheremones and women saying “I like your” \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (Insert personally related noun here, ie shirt, hair, pants, clothes, cologne, etc"

It seems to be heavily present in many of the threads on here, with the use of Mones.

Is it an attempted opener or an IoI (According to if it’s used initially or if it’s used during a convo)?

Or is it perhaps a side effect of the mones to be attracted to not just the wearer, but his objects?

Today, on my first day wearing them, I had this experience:

(Wore [Ammo](https://a314.com/product/ammo/), IO, and Tuth 😉

1. Walked into Subway Restaurant that I’ve been to at least 3 times, same girl working there.

2. Middle Eastern Girl keeps looking at me and telling me she likes my car. Girl has never talked to me before, had Glowy DIHL Look and repeats the same thing a couple of times, smiling big.

Was strange but a definate hit.

But WHY?

It’s a conversation opener. She finds you interesting and wants to engage you in conversation. 🙂 What did you do after that?

I figured that it was an opener or a dazed mone response, but as she was working and I wasn’t all that attracted to her, I just was polite to her.

She definately had a dazed look and a big smile going on. The repeating was weird.

The karaoke bar tonight may be a different story though 😉

All of the above.

People like to be complimented on their taste and so they are treating you how they’d like to be treated.

Good call, John!

I wasn’t quite thinking of it along those lines, but you’re onto something there, fo’ sho!

It just kinda suprised me, as it seems to be a recurring response to wearers of the mones (looking through the forums here,) that someone of the opposite sex seems to start throwing random, odd comments about style their way.

Great response John.

When people are attracted to you, they look for something to compliment you on. Men have a habit of complementing looks. Women compliment other things that they like to show inteest without being obvious. Women are natural at game. I get “I like your shirt” a lot. Doesn’t matter how crappy it is. Sometimes I get compliments on physique but those are more forward.

Thank you!  
Its a good tactic to actually wear something noticeable, so more women feel like they have something to compliment/discuss with you. Its not just ‘dress for success’ but works on that level too.

I once got complimented me how well I open up girls, lol. Another one said I rock since, I seem very warm and charming to people; soon therafter, she told me leave with her 😃

Watch out; with mones, at times, even gay guys open some guys up 😉

Do you mean a bright coloured clothes to grab their attention or clothes that break away from the norm etc when you mean more noticeable John?

My usual dress sense is smart anyway. I love wearing a smart shirt with some decent jeans, always prepared 😃

Dressing sharp is always a good idea, but along the lines of what John is saying…don’t go dressing like Mystery, very few guys can actually pull that kind of outrageous look off.  
Have one or two interesting items that stand out against the whole outfit. With the goal of being genuine, it should be something that has a story behind it, some sentimental value etc. This way if the conversation begins to wane and the girl is interested enough in you she may point at it and make a comment about it…if she compliments you on it, it’s good to have something to say besides a simple “thank you”.

Example: I’m in a club dressed in my usual nightlife attire, which is what you would typically expect for a more exclusive club with a strict dress code. And contrasted against the outfit was a fairly old wind up watch with a cheap pleather strap and a superman logo on the face. So I open a two set, both female and I’m getting good attraction from the target girl. Anyway after a while she points at the watch and says “Interesting choice for a night out isn’t it?”  
I smile and go into…“Ah, the watch…yeah a few years ago my girlfriend at the time (preselection) decided to dress as Wonder Woman for a Halloween party so of course I had to dress up as Superman. Well my mom is taking my kid brother trick or treating while my stepdad stays home and hands out candy. My gf and I decide to stop by on the way to the party and drop off some extra candy her mom had but wasn’t going to be home to hand out. Those weird toffee ones that come in the black and orange wrappers…used to love those as a kid, but somewhere along the line I just stopped liking them.  
Anyway as we pull up my mom and bro are coming back from his trick or treating and some young punks swoop by on bikes and snatch his bag.  
My bro is crying and mom’s yelling at the guys as they ride off…right toward my car. So I open the door and run out and knock over the guy that had snatched my brothers bag. (Protector of loved ones) I take the bag and the bike and tell him that it’s payment for trying to ruin Halloween for a little kid. Anyway my bro was going a million miles an hour about how I looked just like the real superman and thanking me and on and on and on etc.  
Anyway I figured he had forgotten about it but when Christmas came I got a small box with a card that said “The best thing for Christmas is having Superman for a brother” and in the box was this watch.  
It was a long time ago, my bro is actually 18 now and it embarrasses him when I wear it and tell people the story so if you ever meet him(future pacing), promise not to tell him I told you.”

Now in the above example I could have simply said “oh it was a gift from my younger brother” and wasted a good opportunity for building comfort and attraction at the same time with an interesting story.  
Just having something attention getting is fine, but if it has a story to it it’s even better.

[Pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/) have a subtle but powerful effect on our emotions and endocrine system, and most people aren’t entirely aware of what it is they feel or why they feel that way.

I assert that our emotions can be powerfully moved by beauty in other forms including by a well designed car or a well cut suit.

All she might know is that she experienced a certain emotional and physiological shift in the face of your presence, and it is natural to attribute this partially to more tangible things associated with you.

Mones operate via the visual circuit - a pheromonal signature is often manifest as a sense of glowing.

Plus none in particular really does draw attention and make an impact in the way dressing sharply can do.

I have to say that personally I think it is a pity Michael never went with the best of old posts idea. It is certainly more welcoming for this to be a place where newcomers are not rudely told “do a search”, but on the other hand there is a treasure trove of posts on topics that is mostly lost to all but the most dedicated.

The same topics keep coming up again and again, and over time the responses can lose something and there is the risk of subtle misconceptions arising as a result of newer and less experienced participants posting in an authoritative tone and older hands not being there to present an alternative, possibly more nuanced perspective.

Wow Rad. I missed this one the other day. What a great story. Not only that what a great way of telling it. You drew me in. I can only imagine what those poor girls felt.

Your reports man are VERY interesting indeed and your reports  
demonstrate the research behind Misattribution of arousal theory  
and the complex and the unconscious rationalization process…

In other words, when women say that they like your shirt or whatever,  
they do not understand that it is the mones that actually made them  
interested/attracted/whatever to you but they know they feel something  
for you so they have to find something concrete so “it makes sense”.

I have been speculating myself that mones maybe could help me this way  
but I have done few too experiments yet to conclude this possibility but  
your reports are a good demonstration for this and gives positive light for  
future use of mones to create, maintain & rationalize attraction in females.

Thanks man, since I’ve been using them, I’ve been going with:

2X ammo  
2X IS  
1X TUTH.

I’ve had two bedroom closes since then with 2 gals, using minimal PUA tactics, except for those that have been ingrained in me from doing that for so long, and I even tried a bit of AFC’ing behavior just to see how well the mones would work.

Definately wanting to try IJ and IS.

Anyone tried that combo?
