phermones are an incredibly underrated softmaxxing method. but first, incase you didn't already know what they are here is a quick explanation
- pheromones are a scented chemical released by organisms
- they can be used to communicate creatures that dont use signals or calls, especially in insects
humans are evolved to have pheremones because they signalled genetic health, fitness and fertility, which can make them a useful softmax, however, these shouldn't be a replacement for looksmaxxing, a guy who looks better than you and is taller than you but stinks of shit will always be chosen by a foid before you even if you have a very strong smell of pheromones.
types of pheromones
there are 3 main types of pheromones in men which are:

types of pheromones
there are 3 main types of pheromones in men which are:
- Androstenone – makes you smell dominant and masculine. really varies whether foids find this attractive or not, however i believe the majority don't as this is often mistaken for the regular sweat smell
- high testosterone - the main driver for this specific scent
- maturity - peaks ages 20-40
- social context - can raise when your brain knows you've shown dominance or taken leadership
- low testosterone - as said before, if there is no main driver nothing will produce it well
- high cortisol - supresses androstenone, no good reason i can give why
- using over-processed soaps - can suppress your natural scent whether it be good or bad
- nutrient deficiency - weaker hormones means less androstenone
- Androstenol – gives a 'youthful' scent which can make you seem more approachable
- a decent testosterone level - it doesn't have to be crazy like for androstenone, just balanced is good
- youth maturity - strongest in young adults
- low stress
- high stress - cortisol is the most important when it comes to androstenol, unlike androstenone with testosterone. likely because leaders were expected to be calm and to not be stressed and make bad decisions
- very high testosterone - an unnaturally high testosterone, usually from PEDs can suppress androstenol
- over-processed soaps - again, like for androstenone, it will suppress natural scent
- Androsterone – signals social dominance
- high testosterone - the main driver for this specific scent
- maturity - peaks ages 20-40
- social context - can raise when your brain knows you've shown dominance or taken leadership
- low testosterone - as said before, if there is no main driver nothing will produce it well
- high cortisol - supresses androstenerone, no good reason i can give why
- using over-processed soaps - can suppress your natural scent whether it be good or bad
- nutrient deficiency - weaker hormones means less androstenerone (i just copied what i said for androstenone here since it's basically the same)
