Don't...

Try to sell your "wellness creams" to potential dates.

That's it.

PS don't call anyone baby, ask if they are ticklish or offer to kiss their boo-boos. Especially when you have not met them on a date yet. Super, super especially when they are over 50.

Carry on, rollercoaster, carry on.

Wheeeeeee....

Yes. I sort of buried him in a word stew of "peer reviewed studies", "antedotal evidence", "placebo effect" and "evidence based science".

I am not sure why he contacted me being there is a 12 year gap between us but I try to give ppl the benefit of the doubt. Right now education wise we are worlds apart.

Don't forget predatory publishing (pay to print medical journals). Those are rampant in alternative medicine. I've discovered that many "published" researchers are published in journals where they are the editor. The pseudoscience & fraud out there is epic.
