I’m super friendly. I smile pretty much all of the time. I remember your name and the names of your dog, spouse, and/or children. I will remember that you are training for a triathlon or visiting an exotic location soon, and I’ll ask you about it when I see you six months to a year later.
But it’s sometimes the bane of my existence.
Too often my friendliness has been mistaken for sexual interest by men, and the most recent event has me looking for a new chiropractor.
“Existing is open season for harassment.” What it’s like being an attractive woman. Post continues below.
In 2011, I developed a running injury that has plagued me for years. Every time I try to start back running, I get a pinched nerve in my low back that radiates all the way down to my ankle. In the last eight years, I’ve been on several rounds of steroids, done three different rounds of physical therapy, and lots of yoga. Nothing has helped to prevent the injury from happening again.
After I hurt it again in June of this year, I decided to seek out a chiropractor, as that was the only option I hadn’t sought in the past.

THis is why I only use women professionals - lawyers, dentists, doctors etc. Also studies have shown women make better doctors - they listen better and show more empathy - and don't miss as many symptoms. Also, chiropractic is an unproven therapy - I'm convinced my back is ruined from my alternative mother having me cracked so much as a child - my whole body creaks now. If half our population only used female professionals - the need would be seen and more positions for women in all professions would open up. Support our sisters.
This is why I only use female professionals - doctors, lawyers, dentists - all are female. It has also shown in studies that female doctors are better - they show more empathy and listen more and therefore can detect things better. Love my GP - she is the best! Also chiropractric is an unproven science - I'm certain my back is permanently wrecked from my alternative mother taking me to a chiro my whole childhood. As soon as half the population starts using female professionals - those jobs will be open to women - a win for us all. Support your sisters.
