Cat calls walking home from the gym, UGH!!!

I live about a mile from the gym, and some days, it's really nice to just take a walk home after a hard workout.

Well, today it was kind of annoying to me because of cat calls. There were three of them yelling out from a convertible Mercedes, whistling, making gestures and just plain being obnoxious!

This kind of behavior makes me wonder how kids are being raised to think this is appropriate behavior toward a middle-aged person.

The worst part is that my husband has been bragging about these three young ladies all day. He's been giggling and grinning and telling me how "flattered" he is about being called "hey handsome!" or some such.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get him to shut up about it already?

    I admire and while admiring try not to hit mailboxes...sometimes I fail..

    At most I'd whistle, I couldn't say a rude comment just not in me...Trying to remember if I've ever whistled and can't

    I kind of blame him for this, so you might be right.

    I have tried nagging him about wearing a shirt, but the more I tell him how it isn't appropriate to go around shirtless all the time, the more he goes around shirtless all the time.

    I think he likes this sort of attention.

    You don't have too many choices, really breaking up may be your best one.

    Or you could try to systematically crush his ego. Maybe shrink his jeans?

    *** edited to add: scratch the suggestion to shrink his jeans, it could just lead to more cat calls, and more ego inflation.

    The only solution to this is that you should just make sure to wear even less clothing than him.

    I tried that once. They just shrank in the front, were too tight on his jumblies, and it made him strut around like a cowboy. Fun times that was. He even told the lady at the jeans store where his jeans were too tight and why he needed new ones.

    Darn. Well, barring that, there is always sabotage.

    There is something wrong here. I have never heard of a husband who is as bold as yours sounds -- unless maybe he is a newlywed? Never really heard of a husband being called 'handsome' or 'sexy' or anything like that, come to think of it.

    I really like this ^^^^ solution. And considering the hotness level of the folks involved, it's really a public service. You'd make the world a brighter place for everyone. :flowerforyou:

    I would tell him "Shut up" but I am straight forward and my SO says I am a little mean spirited (he likes the abuse) but honesty couldn't hurt right?

    This is MFP! (In my this is Sparta voice)

    People here get divorced over text messages all the time.

    I get that all the time. Just make their day and smile back at them. It doesn't hurt anyone (including your ego). As for your husband, just remind him that those girls are right....if you tell him enough, maybe he won't need to hear it somewhere else. Sounds harmless enough to me.

    ^ This makes good sense. I'd go with this one, OP. Your poor husband clearly needs more attention.
