Pheromones are chemicals created and dispersed by the human body for the purposes of communication.
Some communicate particular attributes about you (your genetics, health, etc.), while others exist to deepen communication between people. Some pheromones seem to directly communicate feelings and emotions.

Its a theory and is not yet verified scientifically, but it seems that some people dont release enough pheros to attract attention from women. but in the internet there are many websites that sell synthetic pheros that you can apply to yourself. it will seem a scam but in my case the pheros that i had bought has really worked and I seems to attract more attention than usual from hot women xD maybe is the placebo-effect but the self-confidence doesnt hurt either.

hmmm... dont take a shower for a few days and that may help, or not!

Im afriad even to use cologne, for fear if I walk thru the woods with it on a deer will come over and try to rape me. Heh, often stuff like that contains animal products like urine, and during mating season that can very rairly cause an unwanted effect in animals that may be nearby :roll:

You got a "yes" vote from me because I bought some a few years ago, out of curiosity. Having worn them many times, I'm still not sure that they do anything, which is kind of disappointing in a product which is expensive (and has a very high profit margin). I researched them thoroughly beforehand, and avoided the ridiculously weak formulations that many producers offer, so it wasn't a matter of having gotten inferior products. I wear them very rarely anymore.

On the other hand, unless you buy stinky ones, they can't do any harm other than to empty one's wallet, and experimenting can be fun.

Well, I take that back... the most commonly used (and, I would add, kind of stinky) suspected pheromone can produce bad reactions, some individuals react badly, overdosage can have a generally negative effect, and women may react very poorly depending on the time of month.

Still, fun to play around with if you have money to burn.

That depends, coz every brands of pheros has different dosages of pheros,
Mine I brought from http://www.androticsdirect.com , I bought the whole collection
when I liked the results and the smell, xD maybe Im crazy to waste like 300$ on pheros that are "maybe gonna work" but I think that they changed my life a lot and eased my life as an aspie, they boosted my confidence to approach stangers (coz, having pheros on is make me think that I have an upperhand on people and I was certain that people will judge me better) , gave me some "man aura" coz now people respect me better than before and old bullies dont even say/do anything mean to me and plus I got some attention from hot women :D
Like I said before, maybe is just a psycological effect or placebo xD and not the same for everyone.

PD: Those pheros are not natural, theyre synthetic xD and they rarely smell bad and only for some people.

Not really.


I taste or smell people,
in order to judge their
value, so I actually seem
conscious of the damned things.

That's one theory, at least.

Are they tested on animals? If they are I'd be scared to try. I wouldn't want to go to a party and have every ferret in town run up to hump my leg.

Seriously talking though, the placebo effect might do more than you think. Smell is a factor for me when it comes to women, I'd much rather have a woman that smells like lilies than a woman that smells like feces. Maybe women are the same way about men.

Nope, they always struck me as a the result of a very bad view of women.

I use them. There's nothing wrong with them, right? How do women feel about it?

I don't wear deodorant, does that mean my natural stuff attracts women?

Everyone uses pheromones, wether they like to or not.
