I mean... seriously, a girl can't wear a skirt without being whistled at? And what makes guys think that the whistle is at all seen as a good thing on the receiving end?
::laughs and shrugs a little:: I'm sorry, but I really don't get it. As one of my friends says, "Compliment appreciated, delivery could use some work".

Stop bragging that you're getting whistled at. Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

Oh, like girls don't whistle at us guys, too.
Wait, lemme think. No, I guess they don't, do they. At least, not, uh... um....
Quit bragging, Pixie!

I have never once whistled at a girl, pretty skirts notwithstanding.
Now, if a guy runs up and starts humping your leg, THAT'S when you know you've made an impression.
That's also the time to start dialing 911, but still...
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Can't help you. The only times I've ever whistled at a girl has been at Juliette or at a friend, which is an entirely different context.
Come to think of it, I've whistled at male friends a lot more than I have at female ones.

Because you're apparently the only female thus far to have been whistled at.

Saxon75, I'm sorry, but I think your whistling at guys is immoral. It doesn't mean I don't like you, or that we can't be friends. I love the whistler (well, not really love, but you know, a manly kind of like, which is clearly what the word "love" means in this context) but I hate the whistle. We're all working on our personal sins, and you're no worse than anybody else for your homoerotic whistling, but I simply can't pretend that there's nothing wrong with it. It very clearly says several places in the bible that it is sinful for guys to whistle at other guys. Whistling at people of your own gender is a "gateway" erotic act, that inexorably leads to homosexual sex, pedophilia, bestiality, and "Lite" beer. I hope you can understand why I need to take this position.

Icarus, I see your point. I guess I should just go ahead and get all of the propositioning out of my system:

Man, I sure hope Juliette doesn't see all of that.
Especially not those last two.

What was the guy whistling? Was it Coming 'Round the Mountain or a modern pop tune?
Was it a bad rendition? Didn't he put enough tremolo into the whistle? Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :

ditto.
Just because you're cuter than the rest of us dosen't mean you have to tell us all the time Pix, we've figured it out on out own. Posted by Jaiden (Member # 2099) on :
On a scary note... some guy has come up and humped my leg at a party. No, not somebody I knew. No, it wasn't Pod
*another vote for confussion about guys whistling at girls*
And what's it with guys grabbing my ass and asking for my number?!?!?! Posted by Ryan Hart (Member # 5513) on :
Men are slaves to hormones.
Just so you know I have never whistled at a girl. Forget the fact I can't whistle.

I think saxon needs to watch the first season of Will & Grace. Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
Okay, fine. I'll let you guys whistle at me to make me feel better.
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
Sorry blacwolve, I can't whistle. Also, you don't exactly wear short skirts often .

Now, I'm too old for that sort of thing.
But elderly Cuban men seem to like to flirt with me.

...and Icarus confirms that he is indeed a dirty old man.

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :
<laughs> I used to get so embarrassed about this. It really is sort of a creepy thing to do, isn't it?
Any kind of reaction that seems involuntary isn't unpleasant, though, and can even be flattering, like heads swiveling. (Actual car wrecks sort of bother me.) But whooping, whistling, and hollering is not really directed at you-as-a-person, is it? To whom IS it directed? I really can't figure this out either. It's kind of like fan adulation. So I sort of do a little Princess Di wave and nod of acknowledgement or something. Trying to accept it with dignity. <laughs> I'd be interested to hear how other girls respond.
Are there any guys here who have ever done this? To whom was it directed? What sort of response did you expect or look for? I truly am curious.
Posted by ladyday (Member # 1069) on :
I thought the whistle was a way of alerting other guys to the fact that there is a good looking lady walking by. Sort of a sharing, bonding...thing.
I'll ask Matt.

Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :
I don't whistle at women. I think that's rude and demeaning. Doesn't mean I don't think a whistle, though.
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
so Billie, what'd Matt say?
Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
I never think a whistle. My thought is usually "Yowzahs!"
Pixie, the amount of whistle you get is inversely proportional to the length of your skirt. When guys whistle, they're thinking, "Now that's some real estate!" Posted by Sweet William (Member # 5212) on :
I ususally keep my appreciations to myself, mostly because I am not a good whistler.
Don't guys usually whistle at a girl to show off for their friends/construction co-workers? Seriously, the only guys I have ever witnessed whistling at a girl were trying to show of for some other guys they were with.
Such a thing is pretty much pathetic, IMHO. They're possibly embarassing a lone female to "impress" their friends. "Look at me! I'm a big stud that can bug a girl!" Real manly. Posted by odouls268 (Member # 2145) on :
when girls shout and hoot and whistle at me, i do the same thing back. when they dont, and they look hot, i have the stock, 'well arent you looking lovely today?' to fall back on. but it's not my forte. Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
I think Billie may be on to something there.
::eagerly awaits Billie's hubby's response::
I'd ask Dan, but he's totally oblivious to stuff like this.
