Are you flattered, ladies?

I'm not quite sure where to put this. Perhaps it should be in the Dog House, in case it turns ugly (or Richard posts, hehehehehe), but I think it's safe enough.

A while ago a survey was conducted in the UK on wolf whistling. From the 80% of women who said they had been whistled at, 40% said they found it flattering. That figure however, dropped dramatically in Scotland. It seems that Scottish women do not appreciate it.

So I just wondered, if Scotland can be so different from the rest of the UK, what does the rest of the world think?

Ha!!! If I ever got whistled at, I'd laugh it off and tell him/or her

to get new glasses...

I would be inclined to do thesame as Slick. But inside I guess I would like it.

At my age you take what you can get! Whistle away boys..........please

you know here in mexico we have many many men doing that to anyone with legs and the look of a woman so doesnt matter if you are ugly or pretty you´ll get whistled........

sometimes its just construction workers, or the most horrendous men you could see but even if you feel disgusted deep inside you feel flattered even it if came from these guys, and when it comes from really handsome men you still feel ackward (SP?) but you know you like it........deep deep inside

I'm with Slick. If anyone whistled at me, I'd look around for his seeing eye dog.

But I do have a question. WHY do they call it a "wolf whistle"??? I have NEVER heard a wolf make that kind of noise. Anyone care to elaborate.

RICHARD, any snide remarks??? Come on buddy, don't disappoint me now.

Karen,

I personally do not like the Wolf Whistle, the lip smacking sounds or staring like a lecher.

Most men break a woman down to their parts. They see something they like and they have to chime in.... The whistling shows that they aren't "man" enough to either talk to the woman or make eye contact.

An eyeball and a "Hi" or "Good Morning" will do it for me-and a backwards glance after she passes....

-------------------------.

The funniest part is watching a very good looking woman get indignant when that happens........

I have seen instances where a woman is whistled, she turns around and says something and get slammed for it.....having a pack of idiots yelling vulgar slurs probably isn't good for the ego...

Woman,

Just sit back, relax and take it for what it's worth....and know someone noticed 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.
