I'm guessing you have figured out by now how to interact with some. For me, it is figuring out how to put up with the ones that are annoying.

@BitFlipper if I had a dime for every time I put the hint on an available man (when I was single!) and they just looked like a deer in the headlights I would be a darned rich woman today.

Even after the stroke they caused, I might visit one for Lower back help, regular medicine offers little for that. But I prefer acupuncture, I have a good one.
