When I was a LOT younger I thought cat calls and being whistled at
was very disrespectful.
Now it has been several years with no whistles etc.
I think if someone where to whistle at me at my age,
I would be insulted because I would think they were either
blind or needed glasses. lol
I think a nice compliment from a stranger that appreciates
the way you look is much more polite than
cat calls and whistles. JMHO
A few months ago, some kid called me girl and whistled and I wanted to be offended, but quickly realised that he called me GIRL when I am almost 31 :D But that reminded me of how often it used to happen several years ago.
At my age I find it VERY disrespectful, especially when boys from school do it when you're walking home in a manner that suggest's they're making fun of you.
Well when i was young i was painfully shy and i got my fair share of wolf whistles, but i was so embarrassed but deep down i kinda liked it i suppose, now if it happened i would probably be elated, lol, does not happen much these days, i can remember when i was pregnant with my son, i had long blonde hair(with help from a bottle) and these guys wolf whistled at me, i guess they were somewhat suprised when they saw the rather large tummy protruding as they drove past, that will teach them. :)
The last time I was whistled at, I was approaching 50 and the guys were in their twenties, driving past as I strode down the hill from the bus in a summer dress. I did glance at the car, thinking they were making fun, but they were smiling so I took it as a compliment and thanked my genes for good legs. I'd be sure they were being sarcastic now. I was whistled at a lot when I was younger and it embarassed me, especially if I was walking past the guys, it was better if they were in a car. I thought I didn't like it, but when the whistles became less and less frequent, I missed it.
I was wolf whistled for the first time about a week and a half ago. I was walking back to our locker room after p.e. with a friend of mine, and there were these guys behind us. I didn't know that at first, but then I heard some wolf whistling and I was like :confused: Then I turned to my friend and I was like "Are they hitting on us or something?" And then she said, "Well, we're the only girls around." Then we both just started laughing because we both looked like a mess after p.e. and everything. I was hit on before that, and the worst part of it was that I was with my bf! These two boys were walking near me and my bf, and we were talking, and all of a sudden the boys said something like "Hey girl, ooouuuuuuuu!!!" My bf got totally silent right there and I felt so bad! He's a shy kind of guy, so that made it worse. I ignored it, but my bf was silent for like 5 minutes lol.
I don't mind being whistled at because it's so indirect.
When I go out to the club, though, I tend to get guys that will just come up and start dancing really close to me while I'm dancing, almost grinding on me!! :rolleyes: :eek: Fortunately, even though DBF doesn't come with me to the club my good friend there is 6'9" and rather protective. Nobody messes with him. ^_^
I honestly wouldn't know. I can't remember the last time a guy has whistled at me and if one did today I would think he was making fun of me. I'm the one that gets the "moos and oinks". Nothing flattering about that.
No ones ever done it to me. So I wouldn't know. But if someone did I would probably be embaressed
LMAO! I love this thread it's funny to read. :p
