And where would he fall under the Beta/Alpha scale?


I'd say my significant other is more on the Alpha side but under a veil of "nice guy.

His fav Pheromones on me is are as follows (in order of most preferred):

• La Femme Noire
• Temptress (with Beta Androstenol)
• La Femme Mystere
• Blatant Invitation
• Sexpionage
• And of course cops!
  

Ooooo. My guy is all alpha, no nice guy guise - remember, he has "resting angry face"

He likes the girly, bonding blends on me so he can feel all manly and protective, but he likes the shmexy stuff too:

• Perfect Match
• Heart & Soul
• Achar
• SS4W & added cops, or better, BANG!
• Sexpionage (esp in the fragrance Compromising Positions)
• Blatant Invitation
  

Wore Gotcha!/ Tickle Tickle on Monday, and that got me all sorts of attention from the husband. In fact, everyone loved this one on me Everyone includes friends male and female as well as many random strangers. It was one of those random days where every 5 minutes someone was telling me they loved my dress and then striking up a convo but the flirtation and fun with the husband might have been the best part...

When my GF wears nude for women it hits me really hard. I can't keep away from her when she wears that blend.

B1 falls more on the Beta side - althougt when it comes to sex he's very very alpha ;)

His favorite blends is def Alpha Donna. I can't be sure if the Tangerine Dream scent has something to do with that, because he always comments on it, but he surely gets very cumplimentary and can't stop grabbing me.
With Temptress XS I get the same reaction, but without the comments on the scent and more adoration than tendency to touch.
Other than that, he gets in a great mood with Tease XS, all men do, to be honest.
Both She Wolf and SS4W are hit and miss with him. I think it depends on the weather, as I've them in Oil. Maybe now that the temperatures are rising I can test it better.
And of course, Cops. He's totally crazy about cops, specially OCCO Ambrosia and SLF. He sniffs it really close and gets instantly aroused.

Great post btw

I take back my intial post. I'm pretty sure my BF falls under Beta, he just has SOME alpha characteristics. The other day he told me that if he hadn't learned how to stand his ground in his last relationship, I would run roughshod over him.

Ummm...how do you tell if he's an alpha or a beta or whatever? My husband is pretty nice and pretty much agrees that I'm the boss around here. Well, after our pets.

I dunno what he likes yet because I'm a newbie and I'm just waiting for the stuff I ordered to get here.

That sounds uncomfortably familiar

Well! Sounds like you'll just have to try EVERYTHING and see what works best!

I think an alpha tends to be a natural leader in most situations. He is generally confident and respected, not as easily influenced by peer pressure, can sometimes be blunt or tactless as he usually doesn't care what most others think, usually takes responsibility for his own actions but isn't likely to accept blame for something he didn't do, generally knows what he wants and goes after it (and usually gets it) because he doesn't mind taking risks and doesn't usually fear failure.

A beta, in my opinion, tends to be a follower in most situations. He's often less confident, but usually more considerate of others, can more often be influenced by others because he usually cares what others think, is generally pleasant, doesn't always take responsibility for his own mistakes (may make excuses, try and make it seem as if he had no choice, or shift the blame) but may also be talked into taking the blame for things that aren't his fault, doesn't always know what he really wants, or may struggle with going after and getting it because he doesn't like taking risks and may fear failure (or, in some cases, success).

These "definitions" are really just my own observations and opinions, though, so take them with a grain of salt. I think most guys have a mix of those characteristics, but lean more one way than another. And I've seen guys who are very alpha with one person/group of people, and totally beta with another person/group. YMMV.

This WHOLE paragraph is my guy, I was wondering how you knew him! Particularly the bolded part
