Desire

Part 6-(N = Nod) The letter N in S-O-F-T-E-N stands for nod. A nod of the head indicates that you are listening and that you understand what is being said. It usually signals approval and encourages the woman to continue talking. A nod of the head, coupled with a smile and a friendly hello, is an excellent way of greeting women on the street, or anywhere else. Like all the other softening gestures, it sends the same message: "I'm friendly and willing to communicate." However, a nod does not necessarily mean agreement. If you want to be sure a woman agrees with what you're saying, ask, "Do you agree?" Body Language + Tone of Voice + Words = Total Communication Remember that these nonverbal softening gestures alone do not replace verbal communication. Moreover, if you only see an isolated gesture, rather than cluster of gestures, your perception of the other person's receptivity may be incorrect. However, when you look for and use clusters of these softening gestures together with a friendly tone of voice and inviting words, you will create an impression of openness and availability for contact and conversation. With practice and a greater awareness of body language, you will be able to send and receive receptive signals, and encourage women to approach you and feel comfortable. Begin to notice other people's body language as well as your own. This will help you to identify softening techniques and recognize levels of receptivity in others, thus minimizing the chance of being rejected. Look for women who display receptive body language and project receptive body language by using softening techniques - they really work!! Your body language speaks before you do. Research has shown that over 70% of face-to-face conversation is based on body language. The remaining 20% is tone of voice leaving only 10% to words. Along with the tone of your voice and the words you use, they add up to "total communication."
