    Is this some kind of American custom? I can honestly state that this is not something that is done in Canada.

    (and no, I don't mean just not at me, I mean at any woman...even the ones dressed like they are in a music video with Kanye)

    In this context, yes, it would.

    It's really annoying and embarrassing. I usually try to pretend like I didn't hear them.

    ^^ This.

    Just the other day while on my evening walk, I got complimented by a jogger. He said he was starting to notice a difference in my weight and size and said for me to keep it up. Then just 20 minutes later some douche bag drove by me honking his horn and whistling. I wanted to give him the middle finger.

    Hmm...I'm not bothered. But there are few things that bother me.

    If more people would concern themselves with issues inside their sphere of influence, I'm sure they would be happier. :tongue:

    Depends on where you live. I'm Canadian and it happens to me if I'm ever walking on a sidewalk in an urban area.

    I have never seen this happen in my entire life. I think it's just something that happens in the movies.

    At whoever said this isn't done in Canada .. it's happened to me before. I got cat calls when I was walking downtown from the bus station to the bar in downtown Kelowna from a car full of guys in their mid-20s. And my old best friend ALWAYS does it when he drives by me when I'm running and usually I come home to some sort of humorous, slightly lewd text but I'm used to it from him. :P I find it flattering personally though, but I try not to react to it. :laugh:

    I have no problem being objectified. I'm not MARRYING these guys, so why do I care how they act? I objectify right back. :tongue:

    This is soo funny. I just got honked while I was crossing the street like 30 mins ago! I was flattered but I don't usually look to see who it was I just ignore it and swing my hips a little extra. HEHEHEHE

    Geez ladies relax. This was just supposed to be a forum with different opinions on how they deal with it not a debate. Have some low cal wine.:drinker:

    Yeah - I wonder if cat-callers still do it after they get married. lol

    There is only one man I have ever cat-called at in my life. My husband - he knows when I *RAWR* at him it's go time. Hehe.

    It makes me feel very conflicted, haha. Part of me thinks it's annoying and kind of gross, but the other part of me (my inner attention hog) is always flattered. I'm 50/50 on this one.

    This.

    I can't help it, I think its funny, and it indulges my wild side to wave and flirt back. My bad.

    I've been lucky enough top avoid the honking and the yelling, but I've seen a couple of double takes and had a few guys look and then smile. That makes ya feel good, I guess. I'd probably jump a mile and piss myself if someone honked!
