"Generally, anyone indicating loudly in public that they'd want to fuck someone who's just walking down the street minding their own business, is an asshole "In way condoning a wolf whistle, but why does it have to be taken as “I’d fuck you!!!” As opposed to “You’re beautiful!!!” Isn’t how a person receives said attention as much to be judged as the person giving said attention?

"[Removed by poster at 02/04/23 19:27:51]" I agree, but that's not the question. I suspect its a negative reaction to a positive emotion. They'd not whistle someone they didn't find attractive/appealing | |||

"What do you good people think . Is it old hat nowadays . "It was pretty awful walking past building sites when I was a teenager, with workers whistling and calling out. It's a good thing times have changed and that sort of behaviour is unacceptable now. It's creepy and can make females uncomfortable... | |||

Making a loud obnoxious noise that draws the attention of others is not a respectful manner."My last post meant to say, “Not in any way condoning….” I remember talking to my mum, she’s over 70 now, and her saying that when she didn’t get wolf whistles anymore she felt like she was past it. Her view was that it boosted her confidence and gave her a little spring in her step that day. She’s a very respectable woman and a classical 1950’s housewife as she calls herself. Society has changed so much and what once was a harmless compliment is now seen as morally reprehensible. Could it not be seen as a way of someone giving a compliment without having the confidence to directly approaching that person and hoping they aren’t just looking to take offence. I may dare to say akin to the “wink” facility that still exists on this platform. | |||

"It's a compliment, it will always be a compliment. The intent for most would be that it's a compliment. However it's one of those things that is a disrespectful way of giving a compliment. It very likely won't be taken as a compliment. The ends don't justify the means. " He spake the thought in my head again. | |||

"I think anything that can't make a person uncomfortable is not acceptable, all to often the whistle is accompanied by a gross comment. People should be able to go about their day without having the attention aimed towards them in a unwanted sexual mannor. " | |||

"I'm think the use of "wolf" should indicate that it's not a positive gesture... Inherently predatory." Well. I disagree. Using the word wolf now is also predatory?? Well. I googled the characteristics of a wolf and this is the top hit. “Wolves are complex, highly intelligent animals who are caring, playful, and above all devoted to family. Only a select few other species exhibit these traits so clearly. Just like elephants, gorillas and dolphins, wolves educate their young, take care of their injured and live in family groups.” It’s always people lumping certain aspects of character into an entire species. What is wrong with society for gods sake!!!! I made a point that years ago it used to be more acceptable and even mentioned my mother had a smile brought to her face. Some of you women here admit you get a little confidence boost and it’s makes you smile. It is, I’m afraid, and this is a fact based on the person doing it and the person receiving it. One size doesn’t fit all and we keep cramming this one size into society whilst at the same time claiming to be open and equal and oh so accepting regarding other issues. Some don’t care. Some hate it. Should it be made illegal?? Should men (or women) because I’ve been on the receiving end be fined and vilified?? Where do you draw the line??? It won’t be long till we live in a society similar to that portrayed in the film Demolition man if we keep going mad at everything. What’s next? If someone smiles at you will offence be taken because that could be a sign he’s sexually interested in you?? What about looking??? There’s been videos shaming men in gyms for looking at women in skintight clothes. Where does it end?? Who decides what’s right and wrong? And why do people keep posting this divisive stuff in the forums that I can’t help but comment on, despite the fact that I really don’t care much either way….. | |||

"I've always hated it and would dread passing groups of men in case one decided to bestow his unwanted attention upon me. Once one bloke started whistling and crowing the rest joined in. It seems to me that it's never about complimenting a woman's appearance, but a signal to his cronies that he's uber virile and definitely not gay. Why they feel the need to loudly announce such things is beyond me. Fragile sense of manhood maybe? Anyway, a lone man never wolf whistled at me. A wonderful side effect of letting my hair go grey is that it's stopped all that ridiculous group posturing as I'm no longer deemed worthy of their attention. It's bliss. Nell" Of course that was wrong ...and completely so ...l agree with you .. | |||

That comes across as blaming women for spoiling your fun.  And that their idea of sexual harassment is wrong. | |||

"There was a time when a guy could wolf whistle at a woman and there would be no problem seen by either party but now.. different ball game now .. simply because you could be spoken to about it ..and who wants that ..it was and always will be a compliment to a woman but it's sexual harassment now ...sad really but that's life . No, it's not a compliment. I understand your point of view but my reply was " there was a time " .. And your reply was also " it was and always will be a compliment" So you think if a guy was to wolf Whistle a woman its not a compliment in anyway ? No. So why do done women..not all as l said ...why do some women not mind ? Ask them. But if that's how a guy chooses to pay a woman a compliment, it just screams immaturity. Look ...lm not going to get into any difference of opinion with you ..as l said there was a time when a wolf whistle was ok by all parties involved but nowadays it's not... personally l think it's sad that a part of harmless fun, both parties enjoyed it , is taken away simply because it's not seen as fun anymore..it's seen as sexual harassment ...of course sexual harassment is wrong but l just think a compliment is just that ..a compliment . Have you asked every woman from this magical time if they took it as a compliment? It's not fun, it's not even men been dicks, it's little boys trying to act big in front of other little boys. " I'm gonna park it up because no matter what l say about this topic you're gonna find fault ..how can l ask every woman of this...As you say.. Magical time ... l wasn't around was l ?...l wasn't around when women were wolf Whistled at in the movie's either..it all depends ..some women liked it and others ..like you ..don't ...it's each to their own ..all l said was nowadays it's sexual harassment. I've never done it ...don't intend to do it ..but I'll leave this discussion with the words ...there was a time ...it was in the movie's too .. | |||

I googled the characteristics of a wolf and this is the top hit. “Wolves are complex, highly intelligent animals who are caring, playful, and above all devoted to family. Only a select few other species exhibit these traits so clearly. Just like elephants, gorillas and dolphins, wolves educate their young, take care of their injured and live in family groups.” It’s always people lumping certain aspects of character into an entire species.

One size doesn’t fit all and we keep cramming this one size into society whilst at the same time claiming to be open and equal and oh so accepting regarding other issues. Some don’t care. Some hate it. Should it be made illegal?? Should men (or women) because I’ve been on the receiving end be fined and vilified?? Where do you draw the line??? It won’t be long till we live in a society similar to that portrayed in the film Demolition man if we keep going mad at everything. What’s next? If someone smiles at you will offence be taken because that could be a sign he’s sexually interested in you?? What about looking??? There’s been videos shaming men in gyms for looking at women in skintight clothes. Where does it end?? Who decides what’s right and wrong?

"To put some of the points back at you B why demean a person you don’t know by drawing that attention to them publicly C why should the whistler get to determine banter when they dont know that person and its widely known that many people will find it uncomfortable ( should bullies get to decide their behaviour is banter or the receiving victim?) D it doesnt matter how it is intended. If it is clear in society there is a risk it will be received negatively and make someone uncomfortable, pleading ignorant good intentions doesn’t excuse the behaviour E are we supposed to clap and say good for you? Crown you king of men who is so attractive that you haven’t just been wolf whistled by a woman (almost unheard of) … you’ve actually scored it from a group of women. bravo you big stud … because according to you chances are they were paying you the ultimate compliment right ? | |||

"What do you good people think . Is it old hat nowadays . "I have never seen an issue with it back in the day, or now.. If it is just a whistle.. if it came with geering and learing.. then I would have an issue with it. but the whistle by itself has always made me smile. | |||

"I don't think a wolf whistle was ever an honest compliment. If a man really wanted to compliment a woman properly he'd go up to her and actually speak to her, as opposed to loudly whistling to try and get her attention. Totally agree - and I'm failing to get the historic argument. What's complimentary about standing with your mates amd making a sound that means, "Me do her!" Can you categorically prove what was going through said men’s head when he whistled. Are you that unbelievably arrogant not to accept you there’s the slightest chance you might be wrong and he way whistle to say “wow you’re stunning”. I’ve seen guys wolf whistle at toys and gadgets and cars. But according to you they are “ALL” barbaric heathens stealing well made oxygen from the surrounding flora and fauna??? Come on people. Let’s just at least see eye to eye and say there’s some some knuckle grading thunder cunts that don’t care how they make people feel and normal guys that just wanna let you know you’re beautiful Or sexy. Most of you ladies post naked or half naked her and get all kinds of comments how sexy you are. Do you complain?? Are you really comparing them being on here and just going about daily life and walking down the street being made to feel uncomfortable by some weirdo whistling at them?
A. How do you know he’s a weirdo?
B. Why demean a person you don’t know with that name.
C. Is it even remotely possibly is a bit of banter meant in a friendly manner to give a compliment without it have to be sexual and demeaning??
D. Can you categorically say that the man doing the whistling is deliberately trying to make the other party uncomfortable and upset?
E. I’ve been wolfwhistled by groups of women in town and women in their own.
So it’s all about weirdo, nasty, disrespectful men and nothingn else is taken into consideration??
I know taking the female side here will get you massive brownie points.
But.
I have a point of view
I’ve brought up an issue to be debated within a difference of opinion.
Is there any chance in all the billions of miles of vast universe that there could exist such a person???
And are only the women that have said they’d prefer it did t happen right and the women who said they didn’t mind, and or enjoyed it all wrong???
"To make this really short and simple, before people act they should consider if there is a possibility they might make someone uncomfortable and if it might then they shouldn't do it. | |||

"Hey...you said there was " never a time " ...you prove that assertion... I'll wait for your answer. And you said - "as l said there was a time when a wolf whistle was ok by all parties involved..." Over to you, sweetheart. It's impossible for me to prove a negative, but as you made a prior assertion, I'll invite you to defend it. This is pretty basic logic." Did those that were wolf Whistled at the time complain ? ..no they took it as a compliment..which it was ment to be ..a compliment .lm not your sweetheart btw but waiting for you to answer what you said is a complete waste of time ..you just deflected it that's all ..so you said " there was never a time "...and my question to you still remains..how do you know there was " never a time " ? .. | |||

"Generally, anyone indicating loudly in public that they'd want to fuck someone who's just walking down the street minding their own business, is an asshole
In way condoning a wolf whistle, but why does it have to be taken as “I’d fuck you!!!” As opposed to “You’re beautiful!!!”
Isn’t how a person receives said attention as much to be judged as the person giving said attention?
Discuss…..
You can tell someone you think they're beautiful in a respectful manner.
Making a loud obnoxious noise that draws the attention of others is not a respectful manner.
My last post meant to say, “Not in any way condoning….”
I remember talking to my mum, she’s over 70 now, and her saying that when she didn’t get wolf whistles anymore she felt like she was past it.
Her view was that it boosted her confidence and gave her a little spring in her step that day.
She’s a very respectable woman and a classical 1950’s housewife as she calls herself.
Society has changed so much and what once was a harmless compliment is now seen as morally reprehensible.
Could it not be seen as a way of someone giving a compliment without having the confidence to directly approaching that person and hoping they aren’t just looking to take offence.
I may dare to say akin to the “wink” facility that still exists on this platform.
"Being of the older generation I completely agree with your mum. I used to love to receive a wolf whistle. | |||

Being of the older generation I completely agree with your mum. I used to love to receive a wolf whistle. "Im also of an older generation. I don't like it. I stopped needing the approval of men a long time ago and have understood why women were seen as nothing more than objects to work to satisfy men long ago also. I could never go back to being viewed that way in the street , by strangers and just be expected to keep quiet about it. Do I like sexual come on's YES. Do I like the overall view of women that existed some time ago ...... nope. There's a whole world of difference and that's why you get people saying it's okay and they like it. | |||

"The general consensus seems to be that most women don’t enjoy it. I’d say, like anything in life, if you can’t be sure it’ll be taken as a compliment then don’t do it. Your right to wolf whistle doesn’t come first over someone else’s right to feel safe walking down the street "The general consensus? Your opinion you mean, those menacing wolf whistles, very murderous intentions | |||

"On a bit of a tangent, I’ve never heard a wolf whistling , so why is it called a wolf whistle. " Phrases like , 'He's a wolf' were character descriptions years ago. If you were told a man was a wolf it meant he was a womanizer, couldn't be trusted and was a sexual predator. Maybe people need to think what it means before they just let the phrase 'wolf whistle' go in one ear and out the other. Those are the type of men who 'wolf whistle' | |||

" Just imagine you are in your late teens or in your twenties and you get whistled at and hear a group of men shouting after you. As a younger woman I'd be embarrassed at being singled out and attention drawn to me. I'd feel awkward and uncomfortable and want to get away from the area as quickly as possible wondering what route I could take to avoid this situation walking to school or work in future. I'm not likely to go closer to the men or stand there and yell that I didn't like that behaviour and would they mind not doing it to me in future. Just because the men didn't receive complaints, doesn't mean it was acceptable behaviour! I've always thought the guys were having a laugh at my expense. It was immature, laddish behaviour and was done for their benefit and not meant as a genuine compliment at all. | |||

"So in short the overwhelming majority of women find it makes them feel uncomfortable at best but a few men are here to tell them why they are all wrong. "Unfortunately this seems to happen a lot on the forum and in life in general. A group is asked if they like something, the concerns us from the group is “no we don’t” and then the rest of the argument is someone trying to explain why they’re wrong for not liking it. I think the question has been asked and answered here. Some may have liked it previously, but these days the majority of women don’t. So why would you want to continue doing it ? | |||

For me I take a whistle as nothing more than a compliment. Certainly never get offended by it. If they make lewd/obscene remarks then that’s different. | |||

"I once commented to a girl in a club that she had beautiful eyes. It was random and I was leaving the club so no alterior motive. It's a compliment there may be no intent behind it. " That's a very different scenario . One to one rather than loud and in public. | |||

"The overwhelming majority?? I’d say, having read back, it’s closer to 50/50. No man here is telling any woman they are “Wrong” for feeling the way they do. Some of us have put forward arguments that it shouldn’t be taken negatively. How is that telling you that you’re wrong. It’s an opinion. You have yours. And I’m not attacking anyone personally like the young lady who chose to make fun and call me a stud simply because many years ago I was on the receiving end of a wolf whistle from a group of women while enjoying a night on the town. I imagine I’m far from the only one. How in anyway does this mean I’m self proclaiming how amazing I am. We can disagree without becoming hostile or sarcastically taking the piss out of each other. We are after all supposed to be grown adults. " Exactly this. Well said. | |||
