Are you flattered, ladies?

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

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

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!!

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.
