    Most of the time i have just laughed and rolled my eyes. One time these guys got me on a bad day and i gave them the bird and told them to go f- themselves, lol. My mother who was with me was in pure shock. Whateves

    a guy barked at me once - i took offense to that.

    however, if they are all "hey girl" or "how you doin?" then i am flattered ;)

    Shouting and catcalls are icky. But when I am running, I kind of enjoy the random honk of the horn. I like to think they are saying "Way to go" and not "Nice *kitten*".

    It is extremely bad manners, but I'm an insecure fat girl and believing for a second that someone thinks I'm attractive makes me feel awesome. Not that I'd ever admit that in public.

    Agree! :drinker:

    As long as it's not mean stuff...who cares? I hoot at hot men! I do. Especially long haired men. Rare these days.
    Just sometimes, tho. Construction workers, guys working in the hot sun having a crappy day...they love it. I only
    do it to boost their egos. Cheer 'em up. As far as us 'goils' are concerned....lighten up, yeah? No big deal. Just sayin'...

    If this was done to you, how would you feel?

    I've heard countless people say it's trashy to enjoy that kind of thing, and not that it's ever happened to ME personally, but hell, I'd be flattered.

    makes me feel kinda funny .. like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.

    I don't find it flattering. Do they really think I'll run up to their car and jump in? C'mon dudes.

    I just ignore it. I think men do it because they can say something really fast then vanish before they get their a** kicked. :laugh:

    I think getting whistled at is sort of flattering though. I don't like the random yelling. That's a little creepy.

    My feelings or reactions are usually:

    :wink: I wave back and smile
    :huh: I roll my eyes and think "get a life"
    :blushing: I am completely embarrassed, look straight ahead and ignore them
    :noway: It scares the hell out of me to hear a loud honk or yell so close to me and it makes me jump like 3 feet off the ground. Damn people...
    :glasses: Am flattered and strut (No, I dont really) LOL
    :sick: Think they are stalkers and then wonder how many times they have driven by me and think "If someone stops, grab the first branch or rock you and start swinging girl" lmao...maybe I'm paranoid roflmao

    Mind you, I have been walking off and on for 3 years now and it doesn't happen that often. People wave all the time but I'm in a small town so w/e haha

    One time I was walking with an armload of stuff on campus, and I had to reach into my back pocket to get my wallet (I don't like to carry a purse) so I could get out my key card to get into my dorm. The wallet was in my right pocket, but I had to reach for it with my left hand, which was kinda awkward. A group of guys drove by and saw me, and one screamed, "I HAVE A WEDGIE!" I didn't like that so much, because a) that's embarrassing and b) I didn't have a wedgie, I was getting my wallet.

    Otherwise, nobody's ever yelled out a car window at me. So... yeah.

    I've had it happen maybe 2 or 3 times (my bus stop was next to a motor way, mainly white van men yelling), I always feel embarrassed and cringey.

    It used to happen to me... 15/20 years ago!

    It happened to a girl i know, slim attractive blonde. unfortunately a few days earlier she had knocked her front tooth out, a crown I think, so she took great pleasure in giving them a lovely wide toothless grin!
