      Sounds like a pretty girl problem to me....oh, it must be sooo hard to be attractive- I can't imagine what pain you must endure from men being sexually attracted to you, you poor thing :P

      On a serious note though, they shouldn't have called you a ***** for not doing a Charlie's Angels hair flip and waving flirtatiously at them. They were just upset because you didn't boost their egos with a little kiss blown in their direction or something of the like and didn't want to admit to rejection. Shallow men are everywhere, and you deserve to be treated with respect.

      If you can't be pretty, be petty? You should talk to someone about those feelings.

      As for me, I walk at a public park. The men cat-calling me are prisoners on a detail. I don't consider it to be an outstanding compliment when men who don't see many women up close decide to make some noise.

      A lot (not all) men seem to think that they have every right to tell you what they think about how you look, and assume that because you went out in public you want to hear all about it. It's just plain rude, not to mention incredibly sexist. We aren't out there on display for them to whistle and cat-call. And the idea that they're insulted when we don't react well? Pure misogyny at work. You don't owe them anything- not your time, not your "appreciation," nothing. If they don't like it, maybe they should consider that it's that kind of behavior that makes women feel unsafe walking alone! And yet none of the men who do this seem to realize they're doing anything wrong. It doesn't matter if THEY like to whistle at women because they think we're attractive. What matters is how WE feel about it!

      Thank you for typing this out so I didn't have to.

      "one day she was walking down the street, and I whistled at her and said 'hey sweetie! you got fries to go along with that shake?!' and that's how i met my wife of 30 years."

      I occasionally whistle at chicks, if they don't like it I just smirk, wink and go about my buisness.

      I can almost guarantee what I said happens in EVERY major city. LA, NY, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Philly, Miami, Houston...I'm sure the list goes on.

      Agreed ! Yes, for Boston. And the little cities too! Nashua/Manchester, NH. Lowell/Haverhill, MA

      You've never been to Dallas, have you?

      I've had men blatantly hit on me right in front of my son. Hell, they've done it in front of my husband. And no, it's not flattering. They're almost always old creeps with nothing better to do.

      There's a thin line between flattery and obscenity.

      I'm going to Dallas in Sept......Should I work on my wolf whistles and lewd remarks?

      you shot them down, they were embaressed, so they call you a *****. I wouldnt worry too much about trashy people like that any way :)

      I usually just laugh. Honestly. I wouldn't "fall for it" persay...but nevertheless, it's always flattering, even if you "say you hate it"....
      deep down, you always feel pretty after because someone took the opportunity to notice you.
      So he's going about it the "wrong way" so what.....just take the compliment and keep walking.

      There are more than a few posts that dispute your notion that it's "always flattering." Perhaps it is for you. If others say they hate it, who are you to tell them that they are actually flattered?

      I would laugh my *kitten* off and assume they were whistling at someone else.

      well said. Some do find it difficult to read between the lines as it were. Especially with topics like this.

      Street harassment is pretty much never ok. It's just another part of patriarchy, which says it's ok for men to police women's bodies. *shrug* That being said, I don't get upset when it happens to me, I just ignore it. It's not flattering TO ME, but I know that for MOST guys, the sentiment behind it is to flatter, so I'd rather just ignore it rather than make it into a scene. YMMV.

      Just wondering what exactly is there to read between the lines? The original post in this chain assumes that because she feels a certain way everyone does. I do not find whistles or cat calls at all flattering. It's degrading. Maybe MissAnjy should speak for herself rather than tell me how I feel.

      Agreed. I don't like whistles or catcalls, and I'm quite sure that I don't. If you like it, cheers- you can have mine.

      What is it with men (some men...not all) who whistle or holler at a woman, and then when she doesn't respond how they want, insult her? I was literally just called a b*tch by three PGE workers who yelled at me/whistled, and didn't get the reaction they wanted. It's not like a cussed them out either haha, I guess my "natural reaction" to men yelling at me in public is a grimace sort of face. Sorry it doesn't flatter me to get attention like that.....sheesh.

      Some girls cat call and whistle at guys too! A couple months ago my buddies and I were walking down a street with a row of bars to meet up with some friends I knew when all of a sudden we walked past a bar with an outdoor patio and there was a group of girls that started whistling and cat calling us!

      ....needless to say we stopped in for a drink ;):drinker:

      First of all....and I've read them all quite carefully.....no one is "TELLING" anyone how to feel. It is her "OPINION" that those who say they hate it on some level secretly like that they are being admired even if it's not the way they prefer to be admired. It is her "OPINION" that they are in denial about hating it. She is allowed to have and share her "OPINION" in the exact same way you are allowed to have and share yours. If you don't like her "OPINION" and you feel like you STILL haven't voiced enough dissatisfaction with her "OPINION".....by all means, take the time and effort to voice your own "OPINION" about how lousy you think her "OPINION" is. Have a nice day.
