"Are Pheromones a Secret Weapon for Dating?"

ATHENA PHEROMONES win the speed-dating "twins test" for 19 out of 20 siblings as ABC news program 20/20 features the love potions.

...As seen on ABC's 20/20 primetime news program, December 9, 2005.


Winnifred Cutler,
Ph.D.

ABC 2020 also interviewed Dr. Winnifred Cutler, who developed the pheromone products and was not surprised by the positive results of the show's fun, if non-scientific, twins' test.

Athena Pheromones
- FROM 20/20's Interview with Dr. Cutler:

"I think our product is the only product that has any proof behind its claims," said biologist Winnifred Cutler, a leading pheromone champion and owner of the Athena Institute, which manufactures and sells pheromone products.
Cutler said she had proof they worked for 75 percent of customers who had tried her products, which sell for about $100 for 1/6 of an ounce.

"Our pheromones are sexual attractants. They do make the wearers more sexually attractive," she said.

From 20/20's Report in New York City:

To test whether these potions helped people find romance, "20/20" sent sets of 20-something male and female twins to a speed-dating event and gave them each a scent -- one twin in each set received a scent containing Cutler's pheromones. No one knew who had what.

The female twins, Bridget and Sarah...said they would be convinced the pheromones worked if one of them was approached by more men at the speed-dating event.

They went on 10 dates each lasting five minutes. The daters then filled out forms stating which of the people they would like to see again.

At the end of the night we tallied the results: Nine men wanted to see Sarah again and five men wanted to see Bridget again. As for the guys, 10 women were interested in Dave and only six women were interested in Paul.

Sarah and Dave were wearing the pheromones.
Athena Institute was pleased to be a part of the 20/20 program and its positive results. This was the second time an ABC national primetime program featured Athena Pheromones (see below).

Actual Athena customers have been reporting their own results for years (names have been changed for privacy):

Cheri, CA: "Since using your product I’ve never dated so much in my life, and at age 56 the average age of my men friends is 32. I am presently seeing a 32, 36, and 45 year old who don’t know what hit them... this is the most incredible thing that I’ve ever run across and I’ve got my business partner & friend and sisters and nieces hooked on it. Of course, I don’t want to tell too many people about it--”So many men-So little time”.

Al, FL: “I want to order another vial of that 10X. I have been using it for about 4 years and I don’t plan to stop.
I am now engaged. I am 78 she is 48 we have been going together for 4 years.“

Sharon, NY: "Following my divorce this year, I began dating again at age 50. Began using your products six months ago and am currently juggling three attractive men and haven’t had this kind of attention in decades."

The 20/20 Program also addressed the forty-something singles:
Can Pheromones Give a 40-Something A Boost?

..."Women in their 40s are not excreting the same level of pheromones they might have been when they were in their 20s or their 30s," Cutler said. "Adding the pheromone to their perfume can be just the kick that restores some of what they thought they had lost."

To see whether it would work for them, "20/20" asked Kathleen and Lisa Ann, both in their 40s and single, to wear pheromones every day for three months and to keep a video diary of their experience...

In one report, Kathleen said she was getting more attention on the street, while Lisa Ann was initially more skeptical, finding only subtle changes. After one month, the two compared notes -- Kathleen's dates were up to three or four a week ...

So at least in these nonscientific studies, pheromones might increase sex appeal. (20/20 December 5, 2005)

Recently published research on Athena Pheromones is what attracted the ABC producers to contact Athena Institute and Dr. Winnifred Cutler. Conducted by independent scholars and published in peer-reviewed journals ( Physiology and Behavior, 2002. and Journal of Sex Research, 2004) , two double-blind, placebo- controlled studies showed that Athena Pheromones work to increase romantic attention compared to placebo.

Back in 1986 Dr. Cutler's discovery of human pheromones at the University of Pennsylvania, was reported in TIME, NEWSWEEK and a front page story in the WASHINGTON POST newspaper. In 1993, working independently, she developed a synthesized copy of the natural human pheromones produced and broadcast into the air by sexually attractive persons in their 20's.

The first ABC News Prime Time program in 1998 conducted their own 'twins test' on Athena Pheromones and reported that "the results astonished us". The female twin wearing Athena Pheromone 10:13 was approached by 30 guys in the New York bar singles scene, compared to her sister who attracted only 11 approaches. Said the girls, "It was incredible, truly."

Her products are odorless liquids to be added to perfumes, colognes and aftershaves. Her scientific testing of Athena Pheromone 10X for men and Athena Pheromone 10:13 for women demonstrated effectiveness in increasing romantic attention from the opposite sex.
