Where I'm from, I just totally ignore it and any other advances that are made. See....North Avenue (where I work) has been known to be home to a few...shall we say....ladies of the night....except they're there in the morning, noon and night! Seems to have cleared up a bit lately, but there used to be this girl that sat on the corner stoop. I'd see her every morning as I came into work, sitting on the stoop, looking all bedraggled and looking pretty rough actually. She didn't seem like some of the hardened hookers you see now and then, she actually seemed like a sweet thing that was just down on her luck. She hobbled a bit, and a I heard she had lost a few toes to the cold Chicago winters which made me feel even worse for her. I haven't seen her in a few years now and I have no idea what happened to her. I hope she found help.
Other than that one, they're all pretty skanky looking, some in baggy sweatpants and sweatshirts that look like they've been lived in for months (which they probably have been), with greasy hair, dirty, smelly - ech! I always wonder who in the world would be so hard up they'd actually pay for something like that, but that might explain why I get whistled at.
