I feel this way I'm able to get to the point of each stage much faster and all together give how I felt about each stage & perhaps the impacts it's had on me if any. I'm 21 by the way. I've run BIATBW for >100 days prior to starting AM6. Which I felt had some result, both self-effect and on those around me a little. But for 20$, what could I expect. So I invested next on AM6, knowing how extremely well AM6 is for many people.

So I started Stage 1 May 10th last month. Which means completing Stage 1 in a day & starting Stage 2. Let me start by telling how I listen to the subs currently:
Using a pair of Z623 speaker during the day at home if I want to, while ultrasonic plays. Played at my computer. I assumed the headphones with stream were better than speaker with ultrasonic?
Most of the day (~4-6 hours) I use a pair of Sennheiser headphones while listening to the Trickling Stream. Time is usually from lunch to evening I listen. I play games and listen to music most of the time as I listen, so I usually have the audio high enough so it doesn't drown out in the other audio. When my hours are done, I do notice my ears have a slight ringing to them for a few minutes after listening.
Overnight I use a very cheap pair of speaker placed around my bed. They are some 5$ thirdparty brand speaker I got from school for free haha. I've run them through the 20-20 test and it seems to pass alright. I get around 6-7 hours of sleep, so that's 6-7 hours of exposure. I repeat the ultrasonic on my phone to be played.
Yes I've used the subs everyday and night. No breaks. And so that's about 10-13 hours usually I get.


So my opinion of Stage 1.
It went fairly easy I must say. Nothing very significant has happened with myself that I can notice. Not much resistance at all. Night 2 or 3 I tried using the Trickling stream but had a very restless sleep. Took me about 1 or 2 hours to fall asleep finally that night. But besides that one night, the other nights were pretty fine as I used ultrasonic.

There have been a few days, at work namely, that I found myself being a bit more assertive with myself. But I use Pheromones as part of my daily routine (which work haha), so I can't attest 100% of results I get from subs alone. Just yesterday actually I felt there were no social barriers between me and some of the co-workers I never talk with.
I do feel like I've been getting a bit irritated more with my parents, I fight their decisions on me a bit more. Example, how I spend my money.

One thing I definitely noticed was the change of my everyday attitude of having used BIATBW prior to AM6. My more playful and flirty feeling attitude took a stronger, more in-line with myself attitude. I welcome the feeling as it makes me feel that I'm doing more for myself than trying to live up for others around me.

tl;dr
Overall nothing too much yet, but that is to be expected of the first stages. I look forward to Stage 2 & will see you all later in another month to post my Stage 2 review. I'll still lurk around and post here and there on other threads. I may edit this post if I have any more recollection of Stage 1.

Just at work today I had 2 of my fellow female co-workers tell me why I'm so quiet today. Before starting AM6, I was joking with them quiet often. So I just tell them I'm under some heavy "training" haha nowadays. Stage 3 is hitting me very hard. The hardest so far.
Another tid bit I noticed since starting AM6 (not just Stage 3). A buddy co-worker of mine I always share laughs with, mutual respect for each other...the two of us seem to of distanced from each other sadly. We're buddies, but since I started Am6 he seems to of drifted away from our fun jokes and stuff we'd do at work. Obviously the answer here is me...I know when he'd tell me a joke here or there, I wouldn't be as ecstatic as I used to be before AM6. Seriously we used to be two of the class clowns at work...now it just seems like we're regular co-workers almost. He himself is very still Class clown like, but he has his life straight, so I consider him a well respected Alpha by my standards. So I guess I'm just becoming more mature at work is what I gather from this. Stage 3 really feels to be emphasizing this.
Interesting day I had today. I was very quiet for most the day, but it didn't really phase me how quiet I was being today. Like I didn't care. All my head was focused on was some chores & life responsibilities I still have yet to finish.

Seriously, this is all it is so far into Stage 3...constant reminders of things I have to do in my life, it makes me VERY irritated at work since there's no way I can avoid these thoughts. At my house I'm able to get on my P.C. and avoid these thoughts (like I've been doing most my life heh).
But I welcome these thoughts, even with how pushing & rough they seem to be. Because they are very important things to do in life & I realize now in Stage 3 just how important they really are & that it's time to finally come around doing them.

On the better flipside, I've actually found myself volunteering a bit more for tasks no one else wants to do, both at work and my house. "Who wants to go get the ladder from the back of the store?"
"sure" I'd say and I'd just walk out with almost 0 thought. Compared to in the past where I really wouldn't want to.
I'm just in general beginning to do stuff/say things, without giving it too much thought like some weirdo/beta would do. A nice piece of change in my life.

In some ways it does feel like that I suppose. It's not all bad though as I hinted at the end. It's (so far) made me more independent than I was before, something I wasn't so good at being before. I'll keep you guys updated for sure don't worry. i still have high hopes.
Afterall how am I supposed to get women and more friends when I can barely even get my own life in order. That's what I feel it's doing right now, helping me get my own life's responsibilities back on track before putting anyone else on.
Stage 3 is probably just the blunt of it as you said. Later stages hopefully likely smoothen that mindset I have right now.

Thanks Justin & CatMan for your inputs.
