    I don't mind it I don't think. Wouldn't take it too seriously. I wouldn't like to be hollered at though, and following someone down the street is just stalking, so probably not.

    I don't mind it. I dislike creepy comments or horn honking if anything.

    Actually the only thing I really do like is a long and quiet stare when you walk by. It's almost like you made them speechless :laugh:

    I think for the most part, when this happens to me (rarely), I feel mostly as though they are trying to #1 try to get me pissed #2 make fun of me.

    Obviously I have lower self esteem, I am just starting off here and am just starting to get comfortable in my own skin. However, I do get many compliments to my face, as I am a cashier and see hundreds of men a day. I even get complimented by women! Abd for the most part I just thank them and brush it off now.

    Not bragging, but I'm saying that if I got howled at often enough, I would probably just ignore it. The only way I would respond is if it was followed by disgusting comments. Then they would get the bird and probably a few choice words of my own.

    It's one thing to voice your approval of someone you see, and quite another to be lewd about it.

    So to answer your question. It depends on the context.

    I hate it. It makes me feel awkward, so then I laugh awkwardly, and then it gets taken as a go ahead to talk to me, and then I can't say no because I'm awkward, and he somehow ends up with my phone number (because I'm awkward and can't find a polite way to say "please, you're horribly scary, go away") and then calls me at three in the morning ._.

    i think i'd rather a wolf whistle than being called a fat *kitten*.

    i don't get wolf whistles though, mostly only guys seem to be able to do that one.

    I'll do it to guys with no shirt on if I'm with friends :bigsmile: Its only creepy if you do it alone, if you're a man doing it, or the person is just creepy looking all together.

    I like the whistles. I don't like the degrading comments.
    I feel like a whistle is an appreciation. A degrading comment is something else altogether. But that's just me.

    Where I come from. it's more of a "Ay ma, let me holla at ya for minute."

    ...... Yeeeaaah. I've grown up in really ghetto neighborhoods and have always been very curvy from a young age. Nothing creepier than being followed at 11 y/o by a grown man trying to get my number. My house number. ><

    So I tend not to reply when I'm walking anywhere. If I'm dressed up (like at a club) and you approach me and tell I look nice, that's ok. Actual compliments are way nicer than some guy yelling at me from across the street or his car.

    As an extremely ineffective way to woo a woman, it's perfect.

    My husband does it everytime I get out of the car.


    It's kind of annoying.


    When strangers do it, I wanna punch them.


    I don't like it.

    Don't like.
    Sometimes people honk when I'm out for a run. I'm like "OMG really? I'm sweaty and gross and I run like a muppet."
    It totally breaks my concentration too.

    I'd stop giving weirdos your number if I were you!

    Like. A man is welcome to whistle anytime. But don't circle the block for a second try, that is just creepy.

    I agree that generally if its something like a wolf whistle, it's a little flattering while embarrassing, however I find many of the comments made degrading and downright threatening. I once had a large group of men walking behind me as I was walking to my house say something to the effect of "Oh yeah, shake it, pumpkin *kitten*" (I was wearing an orange skirt) and proceed to make comments of what they would like to "do to me" I quickly turned around and told them that their comments were not only rude, but threatening and speaking like this makes women feel scared and unsafe. They seemed totally befuddled, lol.

    Well , it never happens to me so i cant say that i like it or not but, i think just a random car passing and doing that would bother me. Now on the other hand if some one gave me a really nice compliment or even a whistle in the right circumstance i think it would make my day. Even though i am happily married it wouldnt hurt my feelings to be told something nice by a stranger.

    I often try to do this when i see someone ( male or female) who looks nice in a particular outfit or maybe even smells really good. It might be the thing that makes another persons day.

    I don't stop for them, but I like them. *shrug* it's a nice feeling to know I look good.

    It's flattering at times, but usually for me I get self conscious and end up with anxiety. Weird. It can get creepy when they round the block...one guy tried to offer me a ride home and though I said no, he kept trying to pursue. It can be scary.
