Yea I guess your right dbb we do dress up to be attractive to the opposite sex. Yes it just seems like such a huge measure to go to when your looking for someone to really connect with you. I want some one to click with me just because I am their favorite recipe on my good days and my bad.

Karma, I believe that it is a good thing that we try to attract others and that we try to be pleasing to them as well. For example, I really enjoy the fact that my Sweetie gets a little weak at the knees when I wear a certain shirt or don a particular (pheromone or not) cologne. When I whisper sweet somethings in her ear, the smile and the way she shifts her snuggling arms around me make me feel wonderful, knowing that I made her feel good.

These are important elements, and I intended not to mock them, but rather to urge people to take a more considered look before so cavalierly discarding pheromones. My point is that they are just as valid as anything else.

I would think that most people appreciate these efforts for what they are, but judge each other in far more substantial areas first when forming a relationship.

As for the effectiveness - I can't say that pheromones have ever gotten me laid. But I do know that they've made the path a little easier.

You're a pharmacy technician and you ask this question of us? LMFAO.

You're top interest is "working out" and the "demands" of your life make it difficult to meet women? You're 23, get you're head out of the sand and leave the narcacisstic kwap behind.

lmao about the dutch oven comment Well I tried it out, and as I expected I didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary, but hey at least I know now. The spray I bought is called Axcite, it's supposed to be a blend of 7 different pheromones. I think at least it smells nice, it has a light citrus scent to it. Never the less I'll keep wearing it from time to time. Hope everybody had a great weekend :)

Well, my personal opinion is that that fake bottled stuff is pure crap, but that just may be me. Real pheromones don't smell like lemon pledge.

I can tell you that the real pheromones a man with the right chemistry for me puts out, can take me DOWN! I can lose all touch with reality smelling the right mans shirt after he wears it. Mix that with a really GOOD deoderant or cologne and it is like the best things in life all rolled into one!

I learned waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back that I am highly moved and attracted by the pheromones of the guy whose chemistry mixes with my own.

Oh my god I should not be thinking about this right now. There are certain scents that linger forever in my memory and have been known to make "it" happen all by themselves....

Ditto. Pheromones are chemicals that supposedly affect behavior without a person consciously sensing them as smell. Detection is supposed to be by an organ in our nose that is different from the one that senses smells of which we are consciously aware.

If you've ever walked into a room with the lights out and correctly sensed that a person was there, but couldn't figure out how you knew that - bingo.

Humble thoughts only.

Thanks for the update OP! Sorry it didn't make much of a difference. I say take it back and tell them it was supposed to get you "some" and it didn't so it's defective!

Well, if the "dutch oven" scent didn't seem out of the ordinary, perhaps we have pinpointed the problem right there!

Honestly, for those people out there who say pheromones DO work, I think they need to take into consideration that a person's level of expectation when it comes to picking up women can greatly effect their chances of actually picking up the women. It's called the Pygmalion effect, and it revolves around the very basic principle that one's expectations (whether high or low, negative or positive) can greatly effect the outcome of something.

The Pygmalion effect is taught quite often in leadership classes. It makes the leaders aware of the potentially detrimental by-product of having a low expectation of a subordinate. The leader can subconsciously set his worker up to fail.

The could also be true with the dating scene. If a person goes to their local hang-out expecting to NOT pick up a woman, he will subconsciously do things that might actually hinder his chances at picking up a woman. But when that some person goes to the hang-out with higher expectations (induced by the presence of the pheromones) he may actually give off a more positive vibe subconsciously that will in turn increase his chances.

Just a thought.

I see the makings for a great high school science project here. There should be no shortage of horny nerds that will be willing to be test subjects in a double blind sniff study.

I don't know if you have ever seen or heard of this show but it has exactly that question and answer you are looking for. The show is called Bull Shitt.. by Penn & Teller. In this one episode of real experiments.. lol, they take two twin guys and one sprayed with pheromones the other twin without any .. Than they let the ladies decide which one they were most attracted to...

You should go watch the show it has many things on it that will make you Laugh Your Pants Off..

good luck with the smell me.. we love guys that smell good!

I'm sure there is something to it but cute, sexy, charming, and sex appeal has always done it for me.

with or with out your new found formula lol.

I have never heard of pheromone spays to attract the opposite sex...lol
So what species did this chemical get secreted from in order to reproduce this into a spray bottle?
I mean I'd like to know what I am really being attracted to, for all I know it's an insect that's attracting me

Wild DNA,
What were the results of the experiment? Can you share with those of us who didn't watch the show?

I've never tried this new generation of bottled scents. ~ But I know your male scent and natural selection is always at work. ~ I've all but quit using bottled scents ~ and only clean up and smell like soap.

There is nasty ~ yesterdays sweat ~ you want to start new each day and before you think you are going to hop in the sack. But using bottle scents cover up your scent interfering with natural selection process. If she don't like you ~ it's best to know this early. If she does, you can do no wrong.

99% of soaps are scented so that is just another aroma to mask ones natural scent (or stench!) I'm surprised that the soap industry hasn't jumped onto the advertising gimmick of adding phermones to soap scents. Maybe they're afraid people will get too friendly with the soap?

I've read it's bogus and there's no evidence it works.

I wonder if people who wear pheromones masturbate more? I mean, it would make since if the pheromones actually do what they say that do and unwittingly effect people's libido. Why would it not affect the wearer just as much as anyone else?

Swindol - it seems to me that there is a fallacy in your logic. If it works, you ascertain, then it should lead to increased masturbation. However, if it works, there is less need for masturbation.

You would have to ask a gay guy.

Pheromones of the same sex are generally muted similarly to how the pheromones of close relations are also muted.

My impression would be that shortly after putting on the bottled pheromones that it would then adjust to your personal body chemistry and that your bottled George Clooney sweat would have little different effect than our Emo Philips brand we're emanating naturally.

I do believe there is a difference to a chemical from one man to another. I've seen guys that I wouldn't consider to be the most attractive of the bunch get all the attention without trying. He's the guy everyone looks at with all these women and think it's his money of which he has none. Whether it's a pheromone or body language or some physical quality that's not obvious I can't tell but there is something. It's not any "lines" because they are instantly drawn to him before he ever says anything.

I just think there is a natural appeal that one has or doesn't and I have a hard time buying that science can add to our natural appeal or lack thereof.
