For ladies: What if a man wolf whistles on you?

I feel it is humiliating. Some men are full of themselves, they think that we women are sirens waiting to ensnare them. Men should be gentleman

Its a rude manner of a man for me whistling a girl, I don't either do it for men too it is not proper to whistle a human I know we only doing it for animals to obey and give us attention.

i don't like that manner of acting..it's like women are treated as an animal..men whistle for dogs too...

Its disrespectful. Whistling only shows that you think that I am sexy. You haven't regarded any of my personality attributes or anything. It feels like I'm being regarded as less than a person. If you like the way that I look, come up to me and actually make a compliment, talk to me and you might like the rest of me as well. But just a whistle means to me that you like some aspect of what you see, and I am more than that.

I have being whistled at. I think that it degrades me as a woman.

I never whistle on a beautiful lady who passes by me.In fact,I never did it when I was a college student.My friends did.For them,it was a sign of maturity or say.a gesture that showed they had come of age.As I never did so,they ridiculed me and thought I was backward.Even now I never whistle on pretty ladies.I know most ladies get embarrassed when someone whistles on them.Some of them feel hurt.Why should I hurt them?

I believe that for some it really is disrespectful. As a man I tend not to do that, but I must admit though that there were times I did it, perhaps not intentionally and maybe just purely for complementing. Nonetheless, I believe it is no excuse to act such a way, as most of them would take it as disrespectful and offensive. I believe that at one point, it was because of this overwhelming attractiveness of the lady's physique that made me whistle unintentionally.

That's just plain disrespectful, more so if the guy whistling is a stranger, which usually is the case. There might be instances when a lady presents herself as even more beautiful than she already is, like say a dance, then a guy-friend would whistle as a sign of admiration or something. That kind of situation may be forgivable since the guy who whistled was a friend and the lady would know whether the guy didnt mean any disrespect. But generally speaking, whistling at a lady as a show of compliment or admiration is really just unacceptable, so please refrain from doing so. Guys can admire ladies discreetly and respectfully.

If the man is a stranger, Ima keep on going because I don't know them like that. Some guys may mean it as a compliment, but a lot of guys that do this wolf whistle or cat calling are the same ones who will randomly grab your butt or boobs and call you foul names if you approach them. I don't know which one it'll be and won't take my changes. If you want to tell a woman she looks nice then just tell her with words. We are not dogs to be whistled for.

I am a guy, and I do whistle sometimes if I saw a pretty lady pass my way. But if that lady gave me a frown, I might stop doing so, because I do respect them too. At work place, I can't do such thing though. So, I hope to listen to other ladies opinion about this whistling, whether they like it or not. There is no non - respect notion on it, we just trying to express our admiration in a different way.

This kind of reminds me of a similar situation years ago. I remember being in a mall wearing my favorite baby doll dress and Mary Jane shoes. I passed a couple guys and they did, 'Psst.' That was the call at the time and I hated it. I would sometimes give them the finger, ignore them, or flat out tell them to 'jump in a lake' (I really said something else that I can't type on here)

For my part,the wolf whistle is a flirtatious behavior.It usually makes me uncomfortable and I feel disrespected.In a objective way,however,I want to know how the male friends themselves understand and explain the wolf whistle.

I personally dont like it when someone wolf whistles. It's kind of disrespectful for me. When that happens I ignore them and let go. Maybe that's their habit or something.

Well as I was reading these comments I have to say, I disagree completely! I personally LOVE when guys wolf whistle at me, its like a sweet compliment! Now on the other hand yelling out "Hey baby!" Or slapping a girls butt. That's a different story. Wolf whistling is harmless! A complete harmless compliment. I just smile when guys do that I think its cute, but this just my opinion. I don't think its disrespecting our gender at all. Its a part of flirting girl, embrace it!

I always took it as a compliment! I never took it as being disrespected unless some nasty comments went with the whistles.

I feel thankful of course. Whenever someone whistles at me I take it as a compliment. I don't feel disrespected at all. In my opinion it is a compliment.

I just ignore. First, I do not wear revealing clothes that most common reason why men blow their whistle. Therefore, there is no way I shall feel insulted not even flattered. Maybe I would rather think that the guy is blind of whistling the other person -lols...

I take it to be a compliment. I mean I understand that in a certain sense it is like a man looking at a woman as an animal or a piece of meat, but overall I think that it is a compliment because the men are acknowledging that the woman is an attractive woman. However, I am also from the feeling that this can be seen either way and it really does boil down to the personality of a person whether they see it as something offensive or a compliment.

It is at best unthinking. When I go out of the house I go out of the house for MY reasons. I do not go out to be subjected to the opinions and attentions of someone I don't know who thinks he has some kind of right to comment on my appearance AS IF I EXIST TO PLEASE HIM. Some men really need to get over themselves and wake up to the fact women and girls are not there to provide eye-candy. We get whistled and even approached or assaulted by men who have no concept of boundaries and think we are "there for them". Guess what, it never happens when you are with a man - because they respect the man's "ownership" of you more than they respect your right to own yourself. Most women can tell you the easiest way to get rid of a man pestering them is to say they have a boyfriend because the boyfriend's "No" is respected in a way that the woman's is not. So, for the whistlers out there who are "complimenting". How come you don't compliment when there is a man there? How come you don't compliment men who look good in the same way?

It is nice to be noticed now and then but you need to take care that the attention you warrant will not turn its back on you. not every whistle can mbe meant as a compliment. you need to take the attention in stride sometimes and live your own life.
