"To get around" is an idiom which can mean several things, using various prepositions. But in the expression "There's no getting around IT," it can only mean one thing: "There's no way to avoid it." Nothing else. To get around it -> to circumvent it For example, "In Holland you'll see people ride their bikes: there's no getting around it." In other words, you can't avoid being confronted with it. With other prepositions (or without): "I'll get around TO it." -> I will put it on my 'to do' list and will eventually do it. "He gets around just fine." -> He knows his way. (Both literally and figuratively) "Get around the back to pick up the goods!" -> 'Get around' means 'come by; go' here. ('swing around' is popular in this context too)

um it depends... umm ... were they speaking of traveling? if not then were they speaking of a female or male?

Hello Rokr, It could mean to go around or bypass certain regulations, to circumvent or evade certain issues. Here it rather means it is not possible in L.A to convince or win over by flattering or cajoling, like you can't get any bonuses by gently pleading or flattering a business owner.
