I am seeing this ad at the top of the page here which is a link to a site selling human pheromones. I remember seeing a story on it many years ago on a TV news show that seemed to indicate that they helped a bit. I really find this hard to believe. Pheromones work for insects, but people? I really think that is far fetched. Does anyone else have an opinion? Has anyone tried them?
A friend of mine sells for Pure Romance and a lot of their products contain phermones including a cologne base that mixes with your own perfume cologne. They tested it here locally going out and said it had a significant effect. I would think that if you thought it was going to help...you would be helping yourself by being more confident either way you got what you paid for...more attention.
If the company who makes it tests it then they are going to have a bias in favor of it. I am not sure that I would trust such a study. Are there any independent studies? Does anyone have an experience with it? Lets say that it works and then you run out of the stuff. Will she break up with you?
Would this be termed "better living through chemicals". Save the bucks and spend time at the better men's colone dept. getting input from the sales / customers there.
Ok - I will confess. I DID buy some way before I joined this site. Mainly out of curiosity. I only wore it once or twice. I did let a woman friend of mine smell it and she though it was a pleasant odor. It did not send her into a mating frenzy though.
I think pheremones work if they are the natural ones.
All of my female friends and myself seem to get men's attentions more during certain times of the month, regardless of what we're wearing or what we're doing. We get more smiles, more invites out, more male attention. I think the pheremones are so subtle we aren't aware our bodies are sending them out any more than a man will realize he is recieving it from the woman. I think its our basic animal instinct telling us we're "in heat".
That's very offensive.....to the man. It's kind of like saying that the only thing he's got going for him is money. Granted, there are women who are golddiggers, but the general reference to women being money hungry is not only blatantly incorrect, but it's insulting to women as well. Whether or not a man has money (and spends it on me) has absolutely NO bearing as to how much I like him, or whether or not I even like him to begin with. I won't go out with a man just because he has money and I SURE AS HELL wouldn't sleep with him just because he does.
