When guys yell out the car and honk the horn at you..

How about when a cute girl walks by somewhere in public, but not a social scene like a bar or club, and I say "Hello, how are you?"

It's worked for me a few times, but I usually never try.

I seriously always wonder whether that is ok or it is rude to bother people.

That would make me blush, stammer, and possibly run away.....but I would be flattered. Social scenes are the right place approach strangers in a "hey, how are you?" Sort of way. ;-)

Nothing trashy about it at all. Take in the compliment. I would think of it as a once in a while opportunity.

Totally depends on the intent of the hoots and hollers (and yes, you can totally tell) It's always nice if someone thinks you're attractive or flirting playfully. If you're a creep, it's typically apparent and unwelcome. Kinda like MFP attention. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

First make a split second analysis.. cute or not..? creep or not? If not a creep, wave and smile.. if a creep - flip off and show them how fast your Hemi can go!

Having been yelled at by women numerous times when running, I find the appropriate response is to twist my nipples while licking my lips. Everyone wins!

Is that not common where you live? Now I understand why tourists go on and on about how friendly we are in Cape Breton lol. You can't walk down the street without at least one person saying "Hi" or asking "How's she goin' b'y?".

That might incite some to chase you down!

Yeah, but he's really fast. He could outrun them if he wanted or let them catch up if he wanted that instead.

My favorite thing to yell is "hey you want some fries with that shake"

toriaenator

i feel gross, like some cheap hooker. lol unless I'm in italy because
a) the guys are hot
b) its practically a part of the culture to do that kind of stuff

I love Italy, really need to go back there :-p

I have never done this to a woman.

i have to ask though, what is the desired outcome of this action? I mean, guys are driving around and see a hot girl and honk and yell, do they think that the girl is going to be so taken with this gesture that she will approach them? do they think she'll walk over and say "take me with you?" or are they doing it just because? it doesn't seem like it would ever yield any results.

if it is an attempt to strike up a conversation, then it's just lazy. no, "hello." no, "can i buy you a drink?" no, "oh i see you're reading Keats. i enjoy his poetry as well." just "wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo baby!" then drive to the next block and try again.

it seems like a ridiculous thing to do, really... and i didn't really think it still happened all that much, but i guess it does.

cheshirequeen

as a married woman, i love it. it doesnt happen that much, i dont really walk by myself, but when it does, i appreciate it. now if its filth no, but a whistle here and there is awesome.

sabolfitwife

Depends on if they were good looking or not ;-)

bcampbell54

I hate it, personally.

PANZERIA

It's an attack on your worth as a human being, and if they yell out of the car at you, all you are is a piece of meat that they feel they can judge.

It's degrading, deplorable, and honestly, whenever I get cat-called at, I flip them the bird. They quickly change their tune to "YOU B*TCH/S*UT/W*ORE!" or whatever their feeble little minds can come up with.

It's also called "rape culture." But if I start in on this, I'll be here for hours.

secretgirl4611

Usually this happens to me alot when walking or joggin.. and a guy has even went as far as to ask if I needed a ride.. But I pointed at my running shoes and my clothes and said "No, Im working out.."
TO ME THIS IS NOT FLATTERY, ITS FREAKIN ANNOYING IS WHAT IT IS!
It makes me sometimes not even want to go out for a run, now I just listen to my headphones super loud.. So, if they yell at me, i just dont hear them...

xD

Karalopolous

I'm flattered. I'll usually smile and wave back too, ha.
It happens if I'm outside at work and checking the grounds for trash, taking a walk, etc.

Awkward30

I find it flattering when they are attractive, insulting when they aren't, like "you aren't serious... Right? I could do better"

Yeah I'm an *kitten*.

MisterDubs303

If that ever happened to me, I would blush profusely and be secretly grateful.

No one *ever* looks at me in real life.

They may not be yelling, but I seriously have a hard time believing that no one *ever* looks at you.

atjays

Girls pull the same shenanigans if they're with their friends and some hunk of a guy is jogging or whatnot. It's not just the guys who are guilty.

With that said I think your reaction has a lot to do with how attractive said honker is

Sunscreenandsweat

When it used to happen to me I thought they were like making fun of me or something Idk. I don't pay attention anymore it happens sometimes when I am on my bike. =/

NocturnalGirl

It's not very respectful. I just ignore them and walk off. If the guys are hot... that's another story ;P

MystiqueASAP

It is kind of flattering, but at the same time it is a bit trashy; actually creepy if they follow you. Like I would walk up to a car because the guy is whistling or saying "Hey babe!" or "Hey beautiful!" :grumble:

Elzecat

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.

My inner attention hog wishes this would happen to her. It never does. :ohwell:

THANK YOU!!!! I have wondered the same thing. And let's pretend this girl was so taken with you she says "take me home right now!" Are you sure you want this kind of girl?

Pink_Tina

When guys did it (when I was fit) it made me feel bad because someone yelling out a car door always makes me jump and then I end up looking like an idiot. lol I'd rather a dude just drive by and give me a thumbs-up or something 'cause the whole "Woo-hoo!" and other more vulgar exclamations are rude. I mean, I was walking with my little sister in high school so many moons ago and some dude yelled stuff I wanted to cover her ears to. Not cool. Not cool at all.

slkehl

It's embarrassing and makes me feel vulnerable. Hate it
