Wolf Whistles & Cat Calls

[EvilEvilKitten]

Really. You feel it is quite necessary to inform me that you find me attractive. Why? Did I rush on over at the sight of you, thrown myself at your feet, grasping you around your knees and PLEAD heartbreakingly for you to PLEASE FIND ME ATTRACTIVE!! I can't go on living until you tell me that you find me attractive!!!

And anyway - what do you expect me to do about it? I don't know you from Adam and based upon this experience I do not want to know you from Adam. Hailing a woman in the street as if she were a taxi cab like that doesn't send women the right message you know esp since she knows that if a male were with her you wouldn't make a sound.

But a woman alone - well, then you think you have a chance, don't you. Perahps a woman just might cross the street and ask you to display your 'qualifications' so she can decide whether to invite you for tea or to take a pix and ship it to the nearest police station. Just what were you thinking?

Oh, you weren't thinking. Yes, that would explain it. But then you do have to explain how someone as brainless as yourself actually makes it through a day without a family retainer along holding the end of your leash. Where's your adult supervision?

You mean they actually let you loose to roam about the landscape at will calling out to unknown women? How extraordinary! When women do that the police come along and arrest her calling her horrid names and negatively discussing her fashion choices. But they just ignore you.

Because you simply cannot help yourself, being brainless.

EEK, stay away from Italy. I, too, find the attention improper and, perhaps, no longer attract the attention I once did, but this is a cultural tradition some places and we need to ignore it in silence or risk having the entire piazza on us.

Naah I'm seriously thinking of doing the 'clinging to his knees' thing.
I'd be willing to take bets on exactly how many mph he achieves - running away screaming! LOL

Imagine, I was too subtle.

I have been whistled at,but only when with my teenage daughter.I would say that it is directed at her not me however.Young men sticking their heads out of car windows and calling out names and whistling.It is embarrassing for her to say the least.I usually give them the one finger salute as they are driving past or glare at them menacingly.

I once got whistled at by a guy in a cherry picker working on a power line. When I ignored him, he promptly dropped the line into the grass parallel to the sidewalk I was walking down alone. As I let out a shriek, the next thing I hear is some other guy talking into the radio: "What. In, thee, hell. Are you doin'?"

The line was at least two inches thick. When I told my dad later he'd wished I had gotten the company name off the truck, but I'd been too frazzled and was on my way to work.

There's "showing appreciation" and then there's "predatory behavior" - gentlemen, learn the difference.

But, this was meant as a joke. Can you REALLY see me clasping some guy around the knees like that??

i never understood why guys do this. the only time i have heard of a girl responding positively to this is when you are paying her, usually to dance naked/provocatively or when a girl is so hammered and is a skank.

i have seen the bad example EEK what would an example be of showing appreciation to a stranger?

this reminds me of something our parrot did...
There is this little old lady who used to walk by our house.
Our parrot had learned the wolf whistle.
Well, my dad was working on a bike in the garage with the door open. The little old lady walked by and our parrot did the cat call... she started walking on the other side of the street.

I think most of us know you better than that EEK. I figured you'd been whistled at and that your first post was thick with angry sarcasm.
