Seeking Goddess Blend

[Muestereate]

I think that came out wrong on my part and I apologize for that. I'm not bowing to this politically correct speech at all.

What I meant is that we have a lot of testers who are more than willing to cross gender dominated blends. Example males testing female blends (I test every blend I make) and females testing male blends. I love this concept and want to encourage more of it. That's the idea and I'm struggling with how exactly to encourage more of this. We will be keeping the categories as is, even the new labels incorporate gender now, but maybe include a message or something.

My question is how is the best way to do this without creating confusion for new people?

There is a multi-millennia spiritual principle that separates masculine from feminine that is loosely used in other languages that incorporate masculine and feminine forms of words. masculine is active, the feminine is receptive, yes it goes back to sex organs but. we have pheromones that attract people to us and we have pheromones that help us go out and get what we want. We also call them Alphas and Betas but our definitions of these are clouded. I think the gives versus receives or hunts versus attracts the type of definitions of those terms could be understood.

When I wear beta, women come to me, when I wear alpha, I go to them. No judgment either way. For me it's about what mood am I in? active or receptive. In a more escalated mood, Am I gonna give it or is she gonna take it.

OmniSexual also implies that is sexually attracts... Everything.

Is that a BAD thing?

BTW I think the Goddess blend is finished and ready for testing but I ran out of EST and just waiting for a new batch to come in.

Looks like I've got an idea for my next sample, @HayleyBreanna

I hope that the Pencil Thin Mustache will be the same way, because I love the selfies I am getting with him, so I will see.

Ahhh my Jimmy Buffet inspired blend. It was one of my favorites to make cause I had the song on repeat.

I am going to review every male blend I read as neutral as a standalone for women too use on their sales page, then I just hope some other women dare to try the blend out. As of now I think both Boyfriend and Naked Gun is very neutral and will encourage every girl here to at least ask for a sample of it in the check out, if they don't want to spend money on it to begin with. I hope that the Pencil Thin Mustache will be the same way, because I love the selfies I am getting with him, so I will see.

So I was mixing some oils for new scents...
...and realised how much of a task Goddess could be as well of the level of interesting range there. No two Goddesses are alike...

This is true. I bet this goddess blend is going to be insanely good.

[Ildergreier]

All the male blends I have tried has read neutral on me, so ask for samples of male blends with next order if there is a blend you are curious about.

I’m a creature of habit.. the way it is works but if things do change then just like new phones I’d figure it out. No big deal.

[Ildergreier]

A good point really.

[Muestereate]

Oh I come up with reasons to keep my mouth shut but it mostly results from consideration of the work, creativity and talent already invested. Also,I respect Steve's decision to market to women. Ladies have poor pheromone representation in the pheromone business in general. While LP has a lot of scents, I don't get the impression at all that they are pheromone experts. I guess another set of reasons is if I'm not willing to invest the time and money create a lot of mockups. I enjoy the design process of business but not any of nuts and bolts of today's' front end development. Broad strokes, bullshit and napkins for me.

Plus Steve never asked. Part of the magic of knowing what you want is that other people get to know what you want. Then you put it out to the universe.

That's kind of how The High Priestess works.

I guess I can understand the resistance to change but the advertising as is doesn't appeal to me as a male, too much pink and mauve. Steve asked for input, since he doesn't have very much male input to listen to I offered some. Its not nearly what I would like to offer. Personally, I'd like some fast cars and Big game hunters, Fellas, buy XYZ and have a whale of a time and Captain Ahab with a harpoon or that UFC fighter, Motorcycles and Rock Stars on the mens' pages, not pink. Instead, I offered 3-axis color coding of the product page background and some ideas on what those colors could be and how to implement it wprking within the systems already in place.

Hell, call me a progressive I guess but the marketing has been on my mind for a year before my first order.

So why haven't you said something about it before?

There's moving forward and there's trying to introduce new things where they aren't needed.

Coca-Cola has only changed the original recipe once - to remove cocaine. Instead of fixing what worked, they expanded introducing new products and flavours and offering the consumer things they haven't experienced with the known drink brand.

SteveO does similar things by expanding the range of products and types, offering us new uses, applications and experiences with the general product. His range opens many possibilities.

[SecretV]

It's why perhaps wearer gender marked categories could work better as well as clearly inform a new user that pheros aren't just for sex or attraction

[SecretV]

Definitely agreed.

[SecretV]

It make it a familiar term. Take into consideration that many people dislike fast fading trends and often novelty wears off. If you're new - you prefer things to be straightforward.

[Muestereate]

Thanks for your perception of the word BTW, I had just made it up so its good to get other peoples intuitive takes.

[Ildergreier]

Totally.
