I call this one:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Matching Her VAKSOG Mode(s)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>VAKSOG is an acronym I coined. It stands for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Visual <\/strong>processing <em>(looking)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Auditory <\/strong>processing <em>(hearing)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Kinesthetic <\/strong>processing<em> (acting or doing)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Somatosensory<\/strong> processing<em> (touching)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Olfactory<\/strong> processing <em>(smelling)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Gustatory<\/strong> processing<em> (tasting)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the ways women process information.<\/p>\n<p>As such, <strong><em>\u201cMatching Her VAKSOG Modes\u201d<\/em><\/strong> simply means mirroring the same way(s) she processes information.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s how it works&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Most women have two (or at most three) dominant VAKSOG modes. Some women only have one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The key is to find out what your woman\u2019s VAKSOG modes are.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll get to some examples in a short while. For now, consider this:<\/p>\n<p><em>Why is it so important to know how your woman processes information?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever wondered why women love erotic novels so much more than porn, it\u2019s this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Erotic novels touch on ALL of a woman\u2019s VAKSOG modes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With porn, it\u2019s mostly visual and auditory. (The reason for this is simple&#8230; those are the dominant VAKSOG modes for most guys.)<\/p>\n<p>But take a peek into any erotic novel, and you\u2019ll see how the author painstakingly describes each sex scene:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The sights<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The sounds<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The actions<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The feelings<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The smells<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The tastes<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The author knows their <strong><em>(predominantly female)<\/em><\/strong> readers have different VAKSOG modes. And so he writes the scenes in a way that mirrors all the reader\u2019s possible VAKSOG modes \u2013 and the readers love it.<\/p>\n<p>Makes perfect sense, right?<\/p>\n<p>And guess what?<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can do the <em>exact <\/em>same thing with a woman!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As such, you can make her emotionally attached to you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">just by matching her VAKSOG modes while building rapport with her<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Awesome, right?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see how this works in a couple of real life examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>VAKSOG Mode Matching: Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the first step you need to take:<\/p>\n<p>Simply start by having a friendly, harmless conversation with her. Then, pay close attention to the words she uses while telling a story.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if she talks this way:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c&#8230;this year we went to <\/em><strong><em>beautiful <\/em><\/strong><em>Barbados and <\/em><strong><em>watched <\/em><\/strong><em>the sun set there&#8230; and then the other year we went to France to <\/em><strong><em>see <\/em><\/strong><em>the Louvre&#8230;\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8230;she\u2019s probably a VISUAL woman.<\/p>\n<p>So, you mirror her by saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c&#8230;I <\/em><strong><em>see<\/em><\/strong><em> you love traveling and <\/em><strong><em>seeing <\/em><\/strong><em>new things.

Easy, right?<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a couple more useful tips&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If she uses words like <em>\u201chear, sound, music\u201d<\/em> \u2013 she\u2019s probably <strong>auditory<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If she uses words like <em>\u201cdo, run, make, activity\u201d<\/em> \u2013 she\u2019s probably <strong>kinaesthetic<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If she uses words like <em>\u201ctouch, smooth, rough, relaxing\u201d<\/em> \u2013 she\u2019s probably <strong>somatosensory<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If she uses words like <em>\u201csmell, fragrant, scent\u201d<\/em> \u2013 she\u2019s probably <strong>olfactory<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>And if she uses words like <em>\u201ctaste, delicious, yummy\u201d <\/em>\u2013 she\u2019s probably <strong>gustatory<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A few more examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If you find out she mainly uses auditory processing, you can tell her:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201c&#8230;oh, I <\/em><strong><em>hear<\/em><\/strong><em> ya. It\u2019s so sad that <\/em><strong><em>rock music <\/em><\/strong><em>is out of fashion these days.
