gravity Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 so I was talking to a friend of mine last night about dating and (after a few drink) he revealed to me that he uses a pheromone spray when he goes out to meet girls. The idea is that the spray contains a special blend of chemicals which a subtle smell which attracts members of the opposite sex. He claims it works in subtle but noticeable ways, and it often helps him "get his foot in the door" when meeting girls. I don't really know how to feel about this, it kinda seems like "cheating" to me (whatever that means in the dating world) he equates it with spending money on nice clothes, a good haircut and smelling clean, no one thing is going to get you laid by itself, but each gives you an edge when attracting possible partners. he also admits there is no substitute for a good personality/conversation. anybody got an input? also, for the ladies. wouldn't you feel lied too if you found out a guy you felt attracted too used this kind of product? maybe i'm just old fashioned . . .

Raiden Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Pheromone spray = complete rubbish. Save your money and invest in some nice new aftershave instead. Link to comment
simply complicated Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 So where do you get this spray?..lol..hey whatever works, but like your friend said, if you don't shower, or are not interesting or in any way attractive, well then you can spray all you want, but no amount of pheromones on the planet will help ya, but still, I don't concider it cheating, I doubt it even works, it sounds like more of a placebo than a scientific breakthrough.

Carnatic Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 might not be rubbish, but if it's 'just like nice clothes and a good haircut' then spend your money on those things instead... at least then the girl won't be scratching her head about why she feels attracted to you... and pheromone spray doesn't work on yourself, spraying it on won't make you feel confident like going out knowing you look good does.

lana111 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 im not sure if it works. im sure it doesnt. i bought a pheromone spray at a sex party once. i bought it bc it smelled nice- strong but nice. i only wore it once bc it was sticky. i got a lot of attention that night but it could have been a number of factors... clothes,makeup, confidence...

Aleadragonhawk Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Well, from my perspective, I'd find it a turn off (if I knew/found out about it). To me it'd say that the guy wasn't confident in himself, since he felt the need to resort to a method of questionable viability - it'd be kind of like finding out that a guy was taking penis enhancement pills he found online.

CarnelianButterfly Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hmm, I'd rather he smelled like soap, that's an attractive smell. Reminds me too much of hunters dumping deer urine on themselves, if I'd found out a guy used a spray that association would make me laugh at him. Link to comment
JeckyllNHyde Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I dunno.. Hmm.. If I where to find out a guy used it, I would laugh at him, at the fact that he needed to use it to attract women. Shows a bit of low confidence to me? Or like he doesn't have much to offer, so he needs "help". Then I would begin doubting if I would have been attracted to him in the first place. WHich is very weird b/c I never believed pheromone sprays work but now that Lana1111 mentioned getting attention I wonder if it does? (Of course like she said it could have been other factors/must have been... And most important how she carried herself/confidence.) Try getting girls without it. It's most natural. (oh and we all make pheromones anyway, but b/c of soaps and deoderants they get masked). Link to comment
CallingAllAngels Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Pheromone spray = complete rubbish. Save your money and invest in some nice new aftershave instead. Agree with Raiden... Just a way of companies to make a lot of money on nothing... Link to comment
Kyoshiro Ogari Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 In the old days (mid to late 80s) there were these advertisements in comic books about hypnotizing women to date you. They ran right next to the fake vomit and that classic ad where the skinny kid gets his girl stolen at the beach by the muscular guy, but weeks later after trying Super Pills, he wins his girl back (she was a living person btw). That's sort of what I think about this spray. There are so many things that can negate the spray's powers, like bad clothes, rudeness, messy hair, bad breath or not being attractive enough that will render this power useless. Link to comment
JeckyllNHyde Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I saw a programme on tv and they said prostitutes use/used to use vaginal discharge/vaginal lubrication dabbed behind the ear as a pheromone... Link to comment
TheSmilingTurnip Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Personally, as long as it didn't smell bad, I wouldn't really care if some guy wore phreromone spray. Go on with yo bad self, studmuffin! Basically, it's like this - remember when Ben Kenobi gets the stormtroopers in Star Wars I to back off and say what he's telling them to and Luke is all like, wow, how'd you do that? Ben says something like he can use the Force to control weak minded people. Know what I'm saying? Link to comment
dqueen Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hahaha. You guys have not heard of the "Vulva" perfume have you? Link to comment
musicguy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ya know I bought a lot of those pheromone colognes and sprays after high school and wasted 100 bucks on all of them. We produce pheromones ourselves. Those colognes, like diet pills are a huge market of crap Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Pheromone spray = complete rubbish. Save your money and invest in some nice new aftershave instead. i have cologne with it in there. not sure if it works, but i get complimented on it all the time. Link to comment
RayKay Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well, science does show pheromones do indeed work in attraction - we don't actually "consciously" smell them (so you can still prefer the smell of soap and still smell soap....pheromones work quite differently). However, that being said, I would be very, very cautious of the product itself and whether they really are using human pheromones and are valid claims...they are not going to be approved by FDA or another regulatory body and could just be olive oil for all you know. And they simply will NOT make up for a lack of personality, initiative and confidence in any matter. If you are in a crowded room, even if they DO work, the other person might sense them but associate them with someone else whom has the personality to win them over. But again, even if you do use them for a boost of confidence, it could be more placebo than pheromone....especially where the product might not be what it claims to be. How would I feel if a guy used them? I don't know....I mean the truth is they won't make up for lack personality and long term compatibility or lack of being a "good person", they may work initially on physical attraction but even that requires far more then pheromones. Probably would not hold it against them, but it may have me wonder why they feel the need to use them when other qualities go much further, and are what is really important. Link to comment
Sweet Buttabean Jellayroll Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 your friend was drunk thats why he said it i can smell like ass and get my foot in the door with a girl i know beacuse ive done it before. Link to comment
Siriana Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Omg this idea of pheromone spray remembered me of that thing they use to make male pigs horny. They say it stinks like crazy. LOL Thats all I have to say If I discovered a guy is using pheromones spray I would be laughing like crazy since that stuff to make pigs in heat would be my very first association.. Link to comment
doyathink Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I saw a programme on tv and they said prostitutes use/used to use vaginal discharge/vaginal lubrication dabbed behind the ear as a pheromone... Ok.....gag! Link to comment
RayKay Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I saw a programme on tv and they said prostitutes use/used to use vaginal discharge/vaginal lubrication dabbed behind the ear as a pheromone... Copulins.....not surprising really.....though I don't think copulins would be a "pheromone" really as I don't think they fall in that class of pheromones per say. Anyway, idea is that women secrete more copulins during arousal and particularly when they are ovulating....which men can "pick up on" (and even women can, which is why women living together may find all their cycles adjust to be the same or similar).

CallingAllAngels Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ok.....gag! OMG...I second that gag... Link to comment
LanceVanceDance Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Your friend is a sucker. Of course it doesn't work. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 i believe it works to a certain extent. i've smelled some things on women that i have to look when i smell it. doesn't mean i'm going to run over and rip her clothes off cause i'm so overtaken. but victoria's secret 'love spell' is so intoxicating to me. i will check a girl out fir sure if she has that on.

ilovepoemsalot Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 To me it'd say that the guy wasn't confident in himself. Or maybe he just genuinley can't get anyone. Link to comment
