84%?

Finding that hard to believe.

There must be some really desperate guys out there.

[fhayek]

Okay, here we go. 37% of child bearing age women are ‘cat-call worthy’. Therefore, a full 47% of the women should be grateful for the unwarranted attention. Don’t blame me. Blame statistics.

Realize this only has to be true in the respondent’s mind.

“I feel like it does make me more uncomfortable,”

Huh?

They'd definitely be upset if they'd never been whistled at.

Hey good looking i’ll be back to pick you up later!

[Don Corleone]

Tell me, do women buy those revealing dresses, skin tight leg outfits, & thongs and say to the sales people,”Gee I hope nobody sees me wearing this.” ?

[Parmy]

How did they come up with that percentage? In the Islamic world the women are covered from head to toe. Does that mean those men have Xray vision?

Oh, the horrors! /s. I wasn’t exactly damaged by it.

many many many years ago, when I was 18 I was walking down the street and some girls yelled to take off my shirt. I thought it was a compliment. Now they yell to put it back on lol.
but they are right. This is more important than that young woman in Syria that was traded 22 times and was surgically remade a virgin after each time. That’s nothing compared to this. /S

I have come to the conclusion that those free breast exams I offered in college at parties 40 yrs. ago would have probably gotten me jailed today.

OK, how many of these got sold in the Middle East?

[discostu]

My wife deals with catcalls all the time... at home. I’m kind of rude.

[DaxtonBrown]

Kill the males! That will solve everything.

[Veggie Todd]

Hey good looking i’ll be back to pick you up later!

LOL. I remember that commercial.

[freedomfiter2]

There always is.

[Cboldt]

I was going to say that the other 16% must be depressed over being ignored.

But seriously, cat-calling should be discouraged. It's rude and obnoxious.

[BenLurkin]

I’ve never done it. And frankly — I don’t understand the mentality of those who do.
