Whistling at Girls....Why??

[shh!]

Eh - you think it's bad for them to do it to you? I have a 12 year old girl that I've caught grown men checking out. She is kinda tall for her age, but she still looks like a baby, and definitely acts her age. No skimpy clothes, either. Some men are just disgusting.

[misombra]

precisely why if i have a daughter she will wear a burka until she's 30.

[shh!]

Burqas are hot and ugly and impede your ability to see clearly, which is an important skill to have for smacking boys in the head now and then. Besides, all that black reminds me of my mortality. I will stick with Hawaiian mumus. They pretty much cover everything, too, but come in colors besides black.
:-D

I run scared from both burkas and veils. I'm in Fes, Morocco at the old market. Tourist traps alight for tourists such as me. Six or eight, slinky, hot bodied, belly dancers writhing in an open air square. Just arriving from a commune in the desert, I'm in my Berber garb; turban, djellaba machzania; the works. However, I'm wearing my Movado watch on my wrist. Seeing it glint in the sun, ALL the belly dancers wiggle toward me. I reach into my pocket for dirhams, knowing they won't leave me alone until I give them some spare change. Besides, I think, Morac morality nothwithstanding, surely I can stuff a bill or two next to the breast of a street gypsy without getting my hand chopped off. Dancer wiggles up to me. Writhes in place a few times and thrusts her hip at my groin to accept money. I stuff some paper in her scanty costume. Then off comes the veil and out comes a big, bad-toothed smile buried in five o'clock shadow. They were ALL men. I threw a few bills over their heads and disappeared into the crowd as they went scrambling for them over each other in a, suddenly, very manly tackle football manner. So, yes, misombra. A burka would work for me. I wouldn't get within ten yards of her.

burkas, veils, mumus...

just give me some regular long sleeve that protect me from mosquito bites and i will be happy.

i'll do the same for my daughter if i had one.

Hahahaha! That is funny - didn't you know you wouldn't see real women publicly wearing such skimpy clothing in Morocco? I had a friend who had rocks thrown at her for simply walking around without a male escort!

In a word, no. Hadn't a clue. It was a quick study though, let me tell ya.

[bluesummer]

It's all for fun really.

Girls do the same thing, maybe not as often, but they're not exempt.

It wouldn't be the first time girls shouted "hey sexy" or the like to me while I was walkin' along..

Yeah, it's true, but it's much more rare. I think I did this ONCE in my life. While drunk.

Don't let it get to ya.

Bah, don't care that much. Just never understood it.

[Junket]

Bah, don't care that much. Just never understood it.

That's simply because there's nothing to understand.

Why do girls/women always coo over kittens, babies and the such?

Why do people get such a kick out of getting a baby to smile or laugh?

Why do women get all dressed up to go out with friends on Saturday when they're not even looking for male attention? (at least consciously)

And to Marcus.

So what if it's "primitive"?

We are little beyond primitive nature.

Despite our computers, cell phones, airplanes, processed foods, nuclear power, smart bombs, and ipods, we still live to **** eachother and pass on our genes into the next generation just like the first organism to ever grace the earth.

That alone is primitive.

[Innova]

Yeah, it's true, but it's much more rare. I think I did this ONCE in my life. While drunk.

Yeah you whistled at me, and you wern't drunk...don't lie










































haha messin

Frasbee you hit it on the head..and besides our primative state in nature...we are a fickled species, that I doubt we'll ever be truly figured out on a complex level for a very long time... if ever.

[Junket]

I doubt will ever be truly figured out on a complex level for a very long time... if ever.

Haha, I don't even see the point in trying to figure us out.

We would die before we realized there isn't an answer to be found.

[Innova]

True to the point, I just think it's the fact that we don't know..and that's always a driving point to most of the human race.

[bluesummer]

Yeah you whistled at me, and you wern't drunk...don't lie

Hey, don't shout it to the world, you're ruining my credibility here

[nomas]

It's really quite simple.

We do it because we know you ladies love it.

That's why we whistle, honk, or do that "Shht-shht" sound..

Just playing.

I, for one, never do it, and when I think about it, it IS usually when I'm with a buddy, a much shyer buddy, just to be funny..but I don't do it loud enough for the girl to hear.. just for my buddy to hear and get a chuckle out of it or go red with embarrassement. But usually it's the rest of my friends who DO do it and I get on their case about it.

How I think girls view it:

As Fawn said, if it's a good looking dude, they'll probably be flattered for his attention. If it's not...they'll be annoyed.

But I have a big preconceived notion that if you're attractive, you pretty much can do no wrong..at least initially, as far as romance goes. Then you can be an idiot and mess things up, but there you have it..

[whaywardj]

From a naturalist standpoint, the wolf whistle (and other similar outbursts) is the male of species' way of announcing his availability. Akin to the peacock spreading its tail.
