The flip side of the question as I do not see many guys active here. What men's products do the ladies here like and order for their guys? I know I asked this when I first joined but that was some time ago ... Thanks!

Are there any guys here on this forum? And if so what do you order? and Why?

LOL. I was expecting a picture of an Indian princess with that name. So - are you in the military?

But we wish you would Dolly - some of us miss you, darlin'.

I am trying to find the article so I don't put out any bad info. If I do I will post it here. I am getting old and my memory is failing me ...

You can read a lot of published research in this area (attraction by scent, etc.) in the "Abstracts" portion of www.pheromonetlak.com. Just beware not to stray into other areas unless you have steeled yourself for it first -lol. Like I mentioned - I find the entire area of research and all these stories very interesting. Chaionlife - I had an elderly neighbor with a chronic liver condition and you could definitely smell it when it was acting up. I think so much of what we consider "modern" concepts of choosing a mate is based on romance and compatibility in areas important to us. And that is important. But I think we also use other very important filters - some of which are based on smell and are very instinctive - that often fall below our notice unless or untill we become very self-aware. I read some research - very small sample - about females smelling Tee-Shirts that various guys had slept in. I can't remember all the details exactly but it was amazing what they could "determine" from the smell. And it seemed that the Tee shirts whose smeels they thought were "attractive" - in reality somewhat similar to Dad - the owners had a set of disease antibodies that would complement - not duplicate - their own. In other words, if they had children, the children would theoretically be protected against other diseases besides those which the mother's genes would have protected against.

I think we are just beginning to relearn or in some cases really learn about how we choose mates. Smell is one important factor - there is a lot of research on that - basic research with humans but in-depth stuff with animals (ie female rats rely on the sense of smell heavily to pick mates as they can literally smell diseases like cancer). You can find a lot of this reasearch posted over at the pheromonetalk forum. I find this aspect of it very interesting. Hence my interest here also. But there was also a recent article in the online news that talked about how people kissed and how that related to dating. And they discussed not only is it in the mechanics of the kiss but also in the taste and smell of the person that close up. And I mean beyond the taste/smell of what they had for dinner. From the time we were dating I could and can still tell when my wife is about to hit that time of the month from just a kiss as even her kisses taste different - not bad but different - given the hormonal change I assume. I know this is not exactly on subject but hopefully it is not too far off.

Maybe Pheroboy and a 10 Pack Sampler ...

Thanks Carrie. Too many choices. Any personal recommendations?

Hi. I discovered this site following posts by Ail, May and Dolly at Androtics as well as Dolly's blog. I can see that as a guy I might be a little out of place here. I am mid-40s, married almost 20 years with several children. Semi-retired, I keep myself very busy with my childrens' (boys and girls) activities. Professionally, I come from a VERY male environment - almost no women to speak of. Very different from my world now where I am in close contact with almost entirely women in some of my kids' activities. That being said I have never had problems with women as close friends or, before marriage, otherwise. One of my more "unmacho" traits (that might have the guys at work either laughing or looking at me funny) is that I love good colognes. Can't tell you how many I have now (wife says too many). I also really enjoy working with pheromones both professionally and socially. Very interesting to see how they affect others. But my pheromone enhanced romantic exercises are aimed only at my wife as I do intend to stay married. So - all that being said - does anyone have any product recommendations for guys? I have seen the Pheroboy cologne but I am not really sure after that what is what.
