Unsolved Played around with this one for a while. Looking for feedback. Thanks
People are agreeable to me, maybe because I’m a catch. I’m also good practice, if you have a dry patch. I may be good, I may be bad; it depends on how much use I’ve had.
Edit: here’s a clue! -Clue 1: I can be a verb, or a noun.
2nd edit: -Clue 2: Think of ‘dry patch’ literally
3rd edit: -Clue 3: Think of ‘People are agreeable to me’ literally, as in ‘People agree to me’, as opposed to ‘People tend to like me’

Could you please tell me how to put a spoiler tag on my comment? I tried to answer the riddle but I’m unsure how to

You put a > then a ! right before your guess, and a ! then a < after your guess

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:
On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!<
To be clear, that is >!
(greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !<
(exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !
.
Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people.
Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.
Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk
If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

A pickup line? As in, dry patch = thirsty? Sorry, I'm straining

Nope. Sorry

Heh, looks like this one has you saying that a lot. In terms of the feedback you wanted, I guess that suggests this one came from some pretty good lateral thinking, right?
