    If this was done to you, how would you feel?

    I've heard countless people say it's trashy to enjoy that kind of thing, and not that it's ever happened to ME personally, but hell, I'd be flattered.

    Flattered, I know I'm sexy and who cares what they yell...I just ignore them and smile to myself

    My feelings or reactions are usually:

    :wink: I wave back and smile
    :huh: I roll my eyes and think "get a life"
    :blushing: I am completely embarrassed, look straight ahead and ignore them
    :noway: It scares the hell out of me to hear a loud honk or yell so close to me and it makes me jump like 3 feet off the ground. Damn people...
    :glasses: Am flattered and strut (No, I dont really) LOL
    :sick: Think they are stalkers and then wonder how many times they have driven by me and think "If someone stops, grab the first branch or rock you and start swinging girl" lmao...maybe I'm paranoid roflmao

    Mind you, I have been walking off and on for 3 years now and it doesn't happen that often. People wave all the time but I'm in a small town so w/e haha

    One time I was walking with an armload of stuff on campus, and I had to reach into my back pocket to get my wallet (I don't like to carry a purse) so I could get out my key card to get into my dorm. The wallet was in my right pocket, but I had to reach for it with my left hand, which was kinda awkward. A group of guys drove by and saw me, and one screamed, "I HAVE A WEDGIE!" I didn't like that so much, because a) that's embarrassing and b) I didn't have a wedgie, I was getting my wallet.

    Otherwise, nobody's ever yelled out a car window at me. So... yeah.

    I've had it happen maybe 2 or 3 times (my bus stop was next to a motor way, mainly white van men yelling), I always feel embarrassed and cringey.

    It used to happen to me... 15/20 years ago!

    It happened to a girl i know, slim attractive blonde. unfortunately a few days earlier she had knocked her front tooth out, a crown I think, so she took great pleasure in giving them a lovely wide toothless grin!

    All us guys can relate, it's unacceptable, and inappropriate, women should have better behavior than that.

    I grew up in a time/area where during the summers, you'd cruise the boulevard to find potential bf/gf...yes, drive up and down the street and check out the people walking on the sidewalk, if you saw somebody interesting, you'd yell out 'hey what's up?" (driving pretty slow so you'd actually see each other), if there was an interest, you'd pull over and say 'hi' to them and talk. I was invited to several random parties this way.

    When it happens now, I am flattered if the person is attractive, and disgusted if the person is not attractive. If they aren't attractive I usually yell out something silly, "you trying to hit on the lamppost? Look! it's turned on!" and point at the lit bulb.

    I'm amazed how many women find street harrassment 'flattering'.

    How low does your self-esteem have to be to find random men shouting about your body parts 'flattering'?

    Your self-esteem doesn't have to be low at all!! Hell yea I think it's flattering that MY body that i have worked so hard on is getting attention by random strangers. It’s a good feeling to get hit on unless they are total creeps. But if they are sexy I love the self esteem booster. Hey baby! :wink:
    BTW my self-esteem is nowhere close to low.

    I'm very much in favour of people offering compliments, maybe if we heard them more often then we'd all be a little bit happier for the day.

    ...However yelling out of a car and honking at you is pretty rude, and unnerving at times especially if you're on your own. Other posts have mentioned feeling like they might have been pulled in to the car, and TBH yelling and honking is a pretty aggressive way of showing so called 'appreciation of your assets'.

    I have been lucky enough to be complimented in the street (after crazy amounts of primping and preening for a party), and the chap wasn't being threatening or leering so I felt happy that my efforts had been recognised! We need more people like that in the world :-)

    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 :/

    Exactly!

    Depends.

    The obviously crude, cat-calling/honking... You can sense when someone is being a creeper. I absolutely dislike and find annoying.

    When someone is being genuinely appreciative. I'm flattered, but still really uncomfortable.

    Just not something I'll ever get used to I guess. >_>

    I use to get it all the time when I was a teen and young adult. Then I was over weight and it stopped of course. Then losing weight, and it started up again, but just sometimes, it's not constant. So it's kinda nice now.

    I had a creepy guy whistle the other day as I was walking. Mind you, I was pushing my son in his stroller and my daughter was riding her bike with us. That ***t is the most ridiculous esp when you have your kids with you

    I have to laugh at all these young, indignant 20-somethings who find it so offensive. Enjoy it while you got it b/c in another 20 years, you will look back and mourn for the day when you could turn a head or two.

    I have had this happen a few times. I am not like most girls, and I think that is the trashiest thing to do. For one, do these guys think they are gonna get a girl by yelling, and two, they need to get checked for some diseases IF they do get a girl that way. Its so disrespectful and embarrassing. With that being said, I usually flip them off.

    If the guy is cute... Shooot ill yell at him to come back. Lol.

    Ive ignored it before.
    Laughed at the obsurd things that some of them said.
    Have had guys yelll and then turn around and stop to talk to me.

    Depending on the guy and the car hes driving... Lol.

    It either makes me laugh or i just ignore it.

    This.
    Especially if it's overtly sexual... Ugh.
    If they were to ever yell out nice complements, then that'd be okay. But they never do.

    I think it's hilarious how many women think it's ok to behave like an idiot if you're hot enough to pull it off, but if you aren't...you're just a jerk lol.
