Catcalling

[BoberFett]

I never wished rape and never will on anyone.

Well maybe except this guy. Preferably by a big black man named Bubba.

You're a racist too? Nice.

There's a right way to approach a female and you know it.

If these animals want to yell at a female from across the street so be it. I don't care. But when they ignore you and keep moving and you make another slightly more aggressive comment to make yourself feel better that she rejected you and didn't run into your arms then that's when I get pissed off.

Yeah try that in your work place and see if security don't escort you right of the premises. Lol.

Such animals! What barbaric behavior! How crude! Jimmies status: rustled! It offends me when people do that! So rude!

Girl with big butt, wearing tight jeans, walks around NYC with a scowl on her face, is upset that men flirt with her and try to make her smile. Those bastards!

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Shit go to Italy. Guys, young to old will cat call any hot girl and it is okay to stare over there.

 

[MagickMan]

That is roles reversed. You instead of her. Would you feel comfortable if 100 guys catcalled you?

I'm not gay, but on some level I'd have to feel flattered.

What if a man told you he wanted to fuck you in the ass?

I've been told that indirectly by more than one gay man... On some level, I was flattered. On the other, I wanted to distance myself.

More than one lady has also implied that: I was very flattered and kept in touch.

The point is the difference in responses based on how attractive the guy is. If an average looking guy messaged those same girls the same line, they'd be calling the guys creeps.

Some of the guys in the videos are obviously creepy, but many are fairly innocuous. If an attractive guy was the one in the video saying "hi, good morning" chances are she'd be a lot more receptive to the attention.

A couple of years ago, I stopped into a Walgreens with the wife in the shotgun seat to pick something up, I don't even forget atm.

I was about 50 yards from the entrance, I got out to go inside and there was a 6 foot tall Blonde that came walking out in a black spandex body suit walked out that looked like about like any phantasy I'd ever dreamed of, she was up there in supermodel class.

I think she must have just left the gym or something.

My eyebrows must have went up about two inches, she just looked at me and gave me a fantastically sweet smile as she noticed, she wasn't insulted.

I had a hard time biting my tongue going to the door and not turning around to watch her walk away with the wife in the car watching me.

Sometimes things are situational, but I still wouldn't have done the cat call thing.

I would have turned around and looked at her walking away if the wife wasn't watching though.

Do you realize that YOU are one of those scumbags?

How am I one of those scumbags? Look, I work in NYC and see many beautiful women on a daily basis. If I wanted to approach a woman that I think is cute, I will never shout out to her from a distance. I will never follow them and make them feel uncomfortable. I would never disrespect someone if they ignore me.

You just said you hope my daughter gets stalked, you scumbag piece of shit. You're worse than any guy in that video.

Tells me? So what? Besides, no one in the video said that to her. Strawman.

Dealing with Catcallers is always an interesting experience for me. I know that some guys just don't know how not to be creeps...and I don't attribute that to them being males. I attribute that to being immature or just ignorant.

I've had guys do the whole "Ey girl, come here" thing. You just keep on walking or just say "No thank you". Sometimes, they do start walking with you which is kind of scary...because you really don't know whats up with these dudes.

A few weeks ago, a woman in Detroit was at an event with her husband when a guy asked for her number, she declined saying that she was there with someone. The guy harassed them for a while before being kicked out of the club, but he came back and shot her. She died and left her kids behind.

That's why I can't take people seriously when they say shit like "You can't take a compliment" or "They are just trying to be nice, stop being so uptight". Don't oversimplify things. Coming up to me and just asking for my number is not flattering...and neither is referring to me as "hey girl".


Some of you are just being dicks because that's all you know how to be. Regardless of whether or not the video was one sided or not...it highlights a real issue.

I actually got into an argument with some male friends a while ago because they were joking about whether or not its cool to feel up on girls at the club...and they were really serious...you know, because every girl in the club is down with hooking up. I thought they were just shooting the shit at first, but they actually turned it around on me because I said that I would be pissed. Their response "You are at the club, its just what people do...if you danced with a guy, you wouldn't let him get close?" Hell no...and any guy who thinks he is welcomed to greeting me by grabbing my ass or pressing up against me from behind at any clubs or any parties will be greeted with a slap across the face.


Why am I even surprised that there's people on P&N who don't think this is a problem anyway...

So in what way is it acceptable ot introduce one's self to a woman?

According to people discussing this elsewhere, it is harassment and a demonstration of male entitlement to ever introduce yourself to a woman on a street. Sometimes ATOT bothers me, other times I'm proud to be on a place where typing sarcastic one-liners with no uppercase or punctuation is not considered a valid form of argument.

QFT and many women (that normally don't get approached).

In reality, I am sure many of our introverted members are only with SO's because the stars all aligned and they practically fell into the relationship.

How'd you know?

Im sure you can figure that out on your own.

 

[alkemyst]

How'd you know?

I have heard the story so many times and the second mistake they usually make is immediately co-habitat and mingle finances.

It's great to have a sleep-over, but I need to have a year of history with someone before I am permanently moving them in.

Does having an awesome car change he situation?

 

[Rakehellion]

Does having an awesome car change he situation?

Sure, or having an awesome hat, or by simply being respectful, or anything else that 100 other guys haven't already tried that day.

As a future educator, I'd think you'd have better post spelling.


Showing up at a party in a Ferrari at 18, is usually going to get you laid.

 

[alkemyst]

"Excuse me Miss, can I bother you for a cup of tea?"

Fucking lol.

It's not about what 100 other guys tried, it's about what you succeed at.

 

[SheHateMe]

Does having an awesome car change he situation?

No, but being polite does.

You guys think this is all jokes. I wonder how you'd react if your daughter was approached by someone who was being inappropriate. This is not about being upset that men want to talk to you...its about wanting to be respected when they do try and talk to you. There is a way to approach someone and strike up a conversation without saying anything about having a nice ass or starting off the conversation by asking for a phone number.
