So I’m sitting here reading some posts and I realize that my testing “group” of people is amazingly _small_. I’m an IT Hardware Tech for a decent sized company, but to be honest I don’t get out of my office much because I’ve finally got this place to the point where stuff doesn’t break much (not boasting, just saying) My personal life resolves around my wife and kids (and Emma), so I don’t get out much, and I haven’t been to a bar in probably six years. What would you guys suggest for a testing technique? There’s very few common areas at work, walking into someone’s office and starting to talk as the IT guy is rather odd looking. People tend to stay in their offices or very close closed groups. Getting out to a bar / club is not high on my list of things to do…though I guess I could wingman for my single friend every now and then. Any suggestions? ---

Any place where people are inside and relaxed (off work). I really like using in when I get my hair cut. The girl can’t move away so you know she is in the [pheromone](https://a314.com/) cloud for a least 20 minutes. Note the mood of the room and individual barbers then observe while you get your hair cut. Great place for initial testing grounds. ---

Coffee Shops, Bookstores, coffee shops in bookstores, even people around the office work. I do a lot of testing in non-bar/club situations. Friends, family, etc. The only thing limiting you is your imagination!🙂 ---

I have been thinking about this same question and have figured when I start to do some real serous testing outside of friends etc, the casino is an idea place for me. I’m confident (as I’m one of those people that can actually make a dollar… if I stick to the plan that is! Counting cards helps a little also… don’t tell anyone!). You can sit at the tables and wave your hand and expose scent that is on your wrists to whom ever you want, you can have over 8 strangers sitting around you. Also sit next to pretty woman and talk about whatever you want while you blow on your wrists in her directions. If she’s not receptive, you don’t have to feel bad and move on, because she is not what you are there for. People tend to like me sitting at their table because if I can get just one person to talk, it makes the whole table fun… even if others are losing… That’s going to be where my test bed is. ---

You could just… “upgrade”… the computers. Most people have no idea what IT guys are doing. 😛 If you take public transport to work - that can also be a good place to test. As are stores - especially small stores - can be pretty good with getting results from staff there. ---

Haha thanks for the ideas! I’m in an area where politicians HATE casinos, so no go there. I drive to work out in the country, so no public transit (though sometimes I wish there was!) I might just have to “update” the computers…hmmm… ---

They’ll never suspect a thing.
