Shannon's Journal Discussion

Thanks!

Hey Shannon, I hope you get over your cold/flu! Maybe you can test out MIR2 if you finish it soon.

When you get a chance to respond, I'd like to hear what you have to say about this:

I'm still on E2 and I recently made the realization that when I feel attracted to a girl, I feel weak. Like there's nothing/little I can do to make the feeling go away. I just feel that I'm in a losing position if I'm attracted to her but I don't know she's attracted to me. I know E2 will probably handle this, but what is this caused by (past experiences of failure, fear...)?

Thank you.

The worst part is, I'm usually not motivated to work on MIR unless I have a cold or flu, but while I do, I can only work veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyy slowly.

Could be a lot of things. The subconscious, or at least, some parts of it, are very irrational. So no logical analysis can answer all of the question or with certainly.

Shannon, I have a few questions about the fragrances you are working on, especially the aphrodisiacs.

How powerful are they? You mentioned before that there are no pheromones in it but you hope to achieve the effects without it. Would you say you have succeeded? How does it compare to the effect of subliminals (particularly MSI) in attracting people?

What is the price range you are thinking of for these fragrances?

I'm looking forward to trying it.

How do I quantify how "powerful" they are? Shall I invent a new unit of measurement? I don't know what your measuring stick looks like, what you would compare it to, or how it would work for you with your skin chemistry, or how well the scent would match your personality, or how much you would use, or what the race(s) you would expose would best respond to, or how long after application you expose them, or if they are attracted to or repelled by certain components, or a number of other things.

Black Velvet Mark 4 is considered very sexy by a lot of women, and on some guys it gets a lot of compliments. Mark 8 is very polarizing, and on some guys, it produces immediate sexual wetness and arousal in the female. That doesn't mean she's going to tell you that, or act on it... but back when I had two girlfriends, they could always both tell which one I was wearing immediately because of that response. Will every woman respond that way? I don't know. But for them, it was so attractive that it made them more eager for sex, and more enthusiastic. I know it turns off some women just as well. It also has some benefits socially, but just as frequently polarizes people in the other direction.

Celestia is for women, very feminine. Whenever one of my girlfriends would wear it, I would almost always respond with arousal initiate sex with her if it was possible. Made me very touchy-feely and seductive, couldn't stop smelling her. Will it affect all guys that way? I'm sure it won't. Have we had women try it and re-order it because of that effect and the social bonuses it brings? Yes.

Aphrodisiac fragrances use the synergistic blending of perfumery components with some level of aphrodisiac properties, blended at the right concentrations and ratios, to maximize those effects. That doesn't mean you'll necessarily get more sex or even get compliments. It all depends on the people involved, the amount used, the distance, time of exposure, circumstances, activity, etc. very much like pheromones.

Are these as powerful as pheromones? I don't really know. You'll have to get a sample and decide for yourself.

As for the price range, we haven't yet calculated the final cost, and it may differ depending on fragrance, but the "good stuff", which is almost entirely what we are planning to offer, is being aimed at making you happy to pay over $100 US for 50 mLs. We're planning on taking a no holds barred approach to quality of ingredients, and of course that gets expensive, so presume "over $100 US for 50 mLs", but don't assume it will be $100.

"Just as an experiment, I ran the Beast 9 script through the Language Tool grammar and spelling checker. This is the first time the 6G prototype has ever had a spell check or grammar check run.

Spelling: Corrected 2 genuine spelling mistakes, added 27 new words to the dictionary.
Grammar: Flawless.
Document length: 109,669 words.

Not too shabby."

109,669 words? That's like a 350 page book.
That's impressive.

I can't believe all that will be pumped into our head. Wow

And that is after several compressions, with another major one forthcoming.

But not all of that will likely be appropriate for every title in 6G, so it's probably going to be less words for most titles. But, the smaller the word count, the better, because the faster the input happens. Beast 8 requires fully 20 minutes to input the whole script just once.

Wow. Okay. I thought all of these would have had that word count.

That would be hell to make haha

Shannon, I'm using sleephones now while I sleep instead of only speakers and I'm seeing way better results. Does this mean since I'm already two months through AM6 that it'll unbalance me or my results wont be as great since the first two months won't be as good as the later 4? Do you think I should just stick with what I was doing before and/or run AM6 again after this run using this better method for listening?

Generally you should use the best listening device you can get your hands on. Phones are at the bottom of the list, and earphones/earbuds are best. Stick with what you're doing (better is always better) and then at the end, decide if you want to run it again or run refresher stage.

Just remembered something that sets my fragrances apart from others. Mine are designed to smell good on your skin, not from the bottle. Most fragrances are designed the reverse - they want you to impulse buy it based on your initial impression. Black Velvet Mark 4 and especially Mark 8 may take 20 to 45 minutes on skin to achieve the scent they are known and loved for. Not all of my fragrances take that long to achieve their goal scent, but the point is, I'm not interested in your impulse buy. I'm interested in whether or not it actually smells good on you for the longer period of time. So keep that in mind when you try my fragrances, and especially the unusual ones like Mark 8.

Shannon, AM6 works to make us an "Ascendant Alpha" which I think can compared to the concept of a "sigma male" one who is independent from the group, yet strong. When you're more "alpha" but not the alpha of the group per se how do women react? Do they go for the "ascendant alpha" who is more developed or the guy who may be weaker but has more social status. I read somewhere that traditional alphas get the girl because of their status even if a sigma is stronger and more alpha, what is your take Shannon?

First point. Every man, and every woman, is going to be unique. So even if you had 10 "ascendant alphas" at a table, they might all have entirely different styles and personalities within that designation. That alone de-rails your question, but the same is true for all of the women they encounter.

Generally people are clueless. Traditional alphas are more obviously alpha, and ascendant alphas are more alpha. In either case, the woman must be aware of the man's alphaness and such before it makes a difference. That depends on various factors that will be determined by the individuals in play.

A poor traditional alpha, for example, might lose out to a rich ascendant alpha simply because the female(s) in question know he's rich. If the tables are reversed, the outcome might also be. Most women are not looking past their own nose when it comes to really valuing any particular man, and why should they, when they have armies of Betas AND PUAs trying to drown her in attention all day every day?

So it's not a question that you can answer as if all women respond the same to all men of one type. They don't.

So how the hell do you get a woman to value/respect you?
