Hiding the journals was a great idea. It limits that information to the phero users and only the phero users. This is where the meat attaches to the bone and the general public really has no business in there. Put in a few quality posts and the journals will open up to those deserving.

Surface reviews like, "Right before I gave her the tip my waitress looked at me with longing eyes like she wanted sex! Thank you product x!"
These types of reports are common and are not true phero hits. Journals can get a bit more personal and are documented by those who know the difference between phero effects and some thirsty diner queen trying to snatch your ripple.

I'm ugly and out of shape so I never pull women. However, some of the guys on here actually pull girls and that can create problems over time when documenting phero based experiences in a pheromone diary of sorts.

Sometimes you get hold of a snooper. The chick that has your soc security number and knows how many socks in your sock drawer within 2 days. This is why the journals got tucked away.

Ever watched those female types powerscroll/spy through fakebook? I take comfort in knowing that my journal is not being put under the microscope by some random betty I may have banged in the past trying to read me like a magazine.

Welcome to pherotruth. Good people here. Enjoy.

You can't force someone to share their knowledge and when you do usually you don't get anything valuable. The most clever people will share their story anyway.

We're not forcing anybody to share anything, just limiting the more private information shared by our members to those that look like their going to stick around and are also sharing.

I've had several members PM me about how it's not our right to hide or prevent them from reading anything, and 1 dupe who'd been a member for over a year and never made a single post or even thanked anyone who wrote after we limited Journal access to tell me that I had no right to block access to Journals and that if I wanted to change forum policies I needed to give 90 days notice.

To be blunt, I don't care what a newbie or someone who's never shared anything thinks. I care about our members privacy and ability to share information that they don't want just anybody to be able to log in and read. And, if I see someone new making garbage posts just for the sake of posting, they aren't likely to ever see Journals.

Well thundr, I hate to break it to you but your Journal is actually sent in PDF format to every new member upon registration.

LOL @ Mark. That explains all those angry texts I was getting.


On a serious note I have had 2 females ask about pt in my time here so far. I know for a fact that some of the other guys have had similar experiences in the past.
One chick was barely interested in the topic and it was more or less casual convo. The other was a curious cathy and it got weird.

Sitting on the couch watching a movie and she randomly turns her head and asks out of the blue, "so what is this pheromone thing, what is pherotruth?"
I probably looked at her like she caught me jerking off and before I could answer she asks me "...and which one are YOU?"
Yet again before I could come up with a crafty answer she begins to give me her opinions on threads she has already skimmed over.


Red flags lit up like a parade. These are the types of females you run from. I ditched her and rocked Sloth from goonies as my avatar here for awhile just in case. The sloth pic was much better than the goofy looking bastard I have on there now.

You have every right to do that in my opinion. You are the admin after all. Time will tell if your strategy is good or not. People will run or come. For now I'm very interested in what's in there and I think I have valuable information to share also.
I'm still a newbie in the pheromone world so I will certainly do some mistake. I'm here to learn.

But I think sometimes you push the limit when handling issue on the forum and you seems to recognize it (I used the word seems here). I have read some post and people commenting your way of doing things. And honestly I'm little lost I'm don't know yet but I'm surprised. I know not everyone is going to accept this way of talking, handling arguments . (I'm not talking about the issue with preventing people from reading journal here, I agree with you on that)

I have read the Kimba's Introduction thread and I was very surprised that he was "attacked" in this manner for example. I don't know which one was telling the truth but to me the issue wasn't discuss in a professional/normal way. To me he was accused without evidence or little evidence. This could have been resolved in a better way without creating all this "mess".

Just my "honest" opinion. What I have notice, take it as some feedback. I don't want to create a war here. It's just what I have notice so maybe I'm completely wrong.
