Where did BIATBW go?

[Shannon]

Has a question about this one, and keep in mind I don't know a whole lot about how subliminals work so forgive if it's a stupid question. But the way I see it using subliminals is sort of like uploading an OS to a computer where once it's done everything you do and how you perceive the world around you is filtered through the lens of a particular line of code.

So say you listen to a line of code that says "I now focus the unlimited power of my subconscious mind upon making myself absolutely irresistible to beautiful women.", fine that get's embedded into the subconscious and becomes part of your personal beliefs and ideally your reality.

Here is where I'm concerned. At 38 I've known I was a boy/man/male etc since I was a small child.
Yet now we have a line of code that starts with "If I am male...." essentially at a subconscious level I'm no longer assuming my own gender. I can't help but wonder if a line of code like this might create a subconscious doubt about my own masculinity that could act as an obstacle to the subliminals effectiveness. Possibly creating an internal conflict where the subconscious is analyzing the word "if" and wondering "why wouldn't I just ASSUME I'm male?".
I think I understand that the "if I am male" was added to prevent the program from effecting women but again with what little I understand about the subconscious I can't help but wonder if planting suggestions that come from an angle where the gender of the listener is not already assumed could create an issue. Is it possible that this could be the reason that the program seems to take as long as it does for results to occur?

Really, gentlemen, I would not release a program I had not made sure was safe by testing the concept. "If I am male" works because your core identity from as early as 2-3 years old includes your gender. You aren't losing focus on masculinity, you're simply filtering through and if/then statement. This was added specifically to prevent it from affecting females of all ages, and is used in cases where the gender of the listener must pass this little test for the program to be safe to respond to.

As for how long it takes to respond to, that will depend on other factors, more dependent on your personality.
