I think I found pheromone related statements from no one less than Robert Sapolsky. There is the menstrual cycle synchronization which was reported in the past. So most here think that pheromones work in humans.
And as often mentioned, they affect the wearer as well, most likely strongest as the wearer gets the highest dosage. And humans are great in the reading of the subconscious behavior of others. That is most likely a part of the action pathways of pheromones.
Nothing spooky or witchcraftery, just complex mammalian behavior.
You literally picked the one single irrelevant thing in the thread and replied to it. I don't think it's possible to miss the point any more than this, that's an achievement by itself

You also seemed to have missed my addition of; "at least not supposed
to be so heavily influenced by them as we are now, according to "science".
"
Apologies for sounding so arrogant, but come on man.
I also hope that people understand how pointless it is to argue against this, unless you're going to actually perform a test yourself with a reasonable sample size and dedication the same way I have, both subliminal wise, pheromone wise and more. I also tested the amount of response and my overall visibility within communities+chats/tinder and more (several posts of mine in them has over 2k likes, that's not to brag, i could give less fucks about like and i think the like system is cancerous overall. But it's to make a point that i'm a known and fairly "respectable" identity on at least two of these large communities.), for a bit more than 2 weeks, while masturbating at least twice a day and used self deprecating affirmations those weeks.
I also tested using the exact same phrases, wordings in comments, posts and live chats (we're talking about 7 hour sessions, not a small chat session) during the masturbation plus self deprecating affirmation days (shit i could not even look anyone in the eye that time, and felt anxious going to the grocery store - never doing that again. I normally practice semen retention by default)
in my posts as the testing period of when I was using high status pheromones and alpha / high sexual market value / high status professional subliminals that cost quite a bit, (i dont wanna mention the name of that company again so people start shit on being affiliated, yada yada)
I was expecting a difference, but not that consistently (100% of the interactions, every single one of them had a consistent very large difference in response amount, type of response, i.e disrespectful, argumentative, ridicule etc, versus praise, agreeability from others, friendinvites, dm's initiated by others and much more. EXTREMELY noticeably difference. It actually blew my mind even if I almost knew beforehand there would be a difference, I did this to remove every single shadow of doubt, which the tests definitely succeeded in doing. It's almost to the point where I am more certain of this than I am of that the sun is hot.
As I said, most peoples brains here will probably go into an automatic self defense mechanism mode where they have to dismiss this because it's too hard and frustrating to process things beyond ones understanding, in particular if one can not make logical sense out of it. I'm already aware of that. This is why I really suggest that you perform similar tests yourself to force this fact in to your brain instead. If you're actually interested in knowing if it's true or not.
I will call it fact, because it is one. Perhaps not by the "general definition", but it's as much a fact as if I have headache, I will claim that as a fact, but you can never confirm it and I can never prove it to you in the definition required to call it a fact.
When I say that it's pointless to argue against this fact, it is because arguing against it requires you to ask logical questions/expect logical and scientifically proven answers. I've already stated that it's not possible. This is nothing more than knowledge sharing of something I spent a great deal of time in testing obsessively (I did the same with semen retention 7 years ago) - up to you to dismiss it or soak in the knowledge. The only possible discussion that can take place here is theory-exchanges and things like that. I don't care about being right or wrong, that is like five hundred levels beneath me. Being proven wrong in topics (obviously not applicable here) generate more positive feelings for me than the opposite.
