The two sides of cat calling

[Independent voter]

Okay I don't cat call.

Unless, it comes naturally. I'm walking down the street and I see a pretty girl and the word "daaaamn" is forced out of me before my brain can filter it.




Also this guy is one of Trump's people, his tribe, that in-your-face, aggressive New York, Queens style. Both this guy and Trump grew up probably not ten miles apart. I don't mean he voted for Trump but they are from the same area and have a lot of similarities.

Yea, I frankly never could not cringe when I even hear someone cat calling. I do think it's the most primitive behavior of all.

Is this an American thing?

I think it's primarily a New York thing.

Ah, I see Catcalling is just this unknown phenomenon for me

Uhm... just how low is your selfcontrol?

[zorkuus]

How is this even a thing?

[Milchshake]

So some guys try to horseshoe theory cat-calling.

Anyone else notice, that its only libertarian guys that bring up horseshoe theory. Its like a crutch to excuse their bad behavior

So, you don't cat call...except for when you do and when that happens it isn't your fault.

how the fuck is that even possible. this forum never ceases to amaze me how dumb people can be.

[Grimbold21]

I just use my eyes instead.

No. Common in a lot of places.

You mean in certain establishments?

Let me put it like that, if I was cat-called by 50-something year old dried up overweight woman, then I'd certainly not be happy about that either. Make that a 20 year old hot girl calling me "sweety" or something along the lines and flirting with me, then that would be different.

But just out of curiosity, is that what you guys always talk about when go on about cat-calling? Because I was under the impression you were going on about starting to flirt with someone out of the blue - not making litteral birdcall sounds towards women. That guy was pure cringe.

Good god a big part of me is hoping he's exaggerating for the camera. When I think of catcalling I picture a guy throwing cheap compliments out, not literally whistling like he's trying to get a cat's attention. Haven't cringed so hard in a long time; that was godawful.

Catcalling here in high schools and universities while on campus during school hours is considered as sexual harassment, and usually first warning is the last warning before being punished for it. Bit severe I think, but I do agree that it can be taken as sexual harassment.

They do it worse in Italy. I also noticed a lot when I was in Paris, France. So I don't think it's unique to the US.

Ah, interesting. Never been to neither Italy nor France. Never had it happen to me but I don't feel like I'm missing out

I am a cat caller. its fun.

but cat calling is an art. "Hey honey, nice cleavage!" never works. if it does ever work though get her number then give it to me.

cat calling the right way will almost always get you a smile at least. Say something like "Hey girl, you matched your shoes with your scarf really well today, it looks good on you." easy shit like that and they melt. it doesnt even need to make sense. ive said things like "Hey the way you brushed your bangs to the left offsets the pockets on your jeans, it looks nice." they laugh and say thanks, usually conversation follows.
