    I can only remember it happening once, a few months ago on a mid-morning run. A car behind me honked as it went by, and I was determined to not react....then I realized it was my hubby, so I smiled and waved. :bigsmile: And when I got home I asked him why he didn't pick me up?!! LOL

    It bothers me. I don't particularly find cat-calling attractive. A woman should be treated with more respect.

    It's horrible and misogynistic. I'd be furious.

    I had a guy honking and yelling at me. Then I realized my car was smoking. Darn oil drain plug, knew I forgot something!

    My reaction depends on my mood. Good mood: I laugh. Bad mood: I give them the finger and potentially say mean things lol

    I don't really care. I guess it makes me feel hot... but it also kind of annoys me... I don't know. It's just whatever.

    Well last week I was out walking it was towards the end of my walk, I was hot, sweaty and wishing I was already home. I was walking across a major intersection, I had the green light a guy pulled up in thr right lane wanting to make a right on red which would be fine if I was not walking in it and proceeded to yell "Get out of my way fat *kitten* ", I stopped looked at him and yelled back "You want to see a fat *kitten*" and proceeded to moon him. Yeah I know I sunk to his pathetic level but......

    I hate it. I must think too much about it nut the kinds of guys who do that are usually not the kinds of guys I want attention from.

    I absolutely despise it. I don't find it at all flattering, I think it's obnoxious and I hate the idea that just because I'm walking down the street, I'm open to be yelled at :/

    I would prefer someone to honk and whistle than what someone yelled to me today. I was attempting to jog outside and I passed a group of people drinking outside their apartment and a large woman yelled "MAN, and I thought I had a big *kitten*!!"

    very rude!

    I don't really like it. It's happened to me a few times when I've been out running, and it just irritates me. Can't a girl run in peace?

    I don't really mind being stopped in a store and told I'm beautiful or some guy asking for my number. But honking and stuff as they drive by bothers me. Maybe because in the former, the guy is usually paying me a compliment or interested in pursuing me. In the latter, it's just "LOOK AT THAT HOW PIECE OF *kitten* RUNNING DOWN THE STREET."

    It's happened to me quite a few times (the first time being when I was at my highest weight and with my then-fiance, he completely freaked at the guy! LOL)

    Umm, yeah, I just either ignore it or look and roll my eyes or smile and walk away. It doesn't bug me.

    I dont run outside anymore, but when I played lacrosse in school we'd have team runs once a week. Every time someone would honk or yell, our coach would make us do 10 pushups right there on the sidewalk. That was just one reason I hated it!

    At one of the running groups I use to go to it was common for the girls to have those morons whistle / make comments as driving by. I would always wave and say "thanks but your not my type". They never think that's funny
