DMSI v2.5

[Shannon]

Shannon,

I think there are some effect I've been noticing coming to fruition:

1) Popularity: There does seem to be something more than a mini-celebrity effect. There is also a buddy buddy thing with men. Women have also been eavesdropping on my conversations with their male co-workers more. (Hovering)

2) The repellent effect: I don't think this is auto-self-disqualification. I think there is something like autopilot steering me away (and occluding physical reactions to otherwise hot women), and the sniper effect actually pushing them away.

3) Magnetism: This seems to happen with men and women. They tend to start conversations with me more often than before the DMSI series.

4) Women acting weird around me: I've been surprised how many times women who are supposed to be in roles of service (to be polite) will act snarky, rude, arrogant, etc. Other forms of weirdness include hovering around me then acting uninterested; being all enthusiastic about talking with me while simultaneously acting rude; wanting to impress me while also treating me like I'm beneath them... in other words, acting very contradictory. Like they can't figure out how to act around me. (At least I'm not getting the "alien stares" any more. )

5) Increase indifference to whether a woman likes me; being indifferent when a woman is attracted to me because it's so normal

6) Not noticing IOIs because they are so normal

I don't see how the sniper would be triggering a repelling effect unless the aura isn't balanced or calibrated properly, since the sniper only focuses it on those you like.

Let's see how it performs in 3.0.1 since they both have had a major overhaul.
