Road workers in a small New Zealand town got their wish granted when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles.

Pictures?

Pictures???

Only if she wasn't part of the crew.

TaЯd ping!

"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!

Hope the trend catches on

[M203M4]

Yeah, THAT will put a stop to it!

[RegulatorCountry]

As Jay Leno observed last night, she sure showed them!

[John123]

"She was taken back to the police station and spoken to and told that was inappropriate

Ohhh! I feel so disappointed now...

[Domandred]

This thread is worthless without pics. All we know is she was Israeli and not unattractive

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Ladies,

One thinks getting wolf-whistles is bad enough.

Wrong.

It’s when the wolf-whistles stop.

Think about it.

WOOO HOOO!!!

As a woman who's been the object of wolf whistles a time or two from working guys on construction crews, etc., I've never understood idiot women who flip guys off when they do this. I was always flattered! I smiled at the guys and said "Thanks!"

I mean, for crying out loud, it's not like some classless jerk said something obscene or lasciviously disrepectful (that's happened to me, too, and I've done everything from slapping such guys to ignoring them). A wolf whistle from a group of guys is usually just plain ... complimentary. Kinda sweet, really!

I mean what, would these gals rather be so pudgy and plain and awful as not solicit a wolf whistle at all?

As my dad says: some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope.

[Squantos]

LOL !!.....True !

[Doogle]

[Slings and Arrows]

There is a G-d.

[jakerobins]

Sounds like an exhibitionist to me. I bet she really enjoyed teasing those guys showing them what they couldn’t have. I’m sure she stopped traffic on that road for a while. But I’d rather look at that then a raod crew standing around a watcher cooler scratching themselves. LOL

Ref post #12.

This was what I was trying to convey in a round about way.

Consider it a compliment, ladies, because at one point the whistling is going to stop; and you are going to miss it. One suddenly realizes one is no longer that attractive woman to turn heads.

Keep a sense of humor about it, and enjoy it while it lasts.

One time I was taking a walk in a neighborhood while dressed "defensively," that is, in my husband's very baggy, cruddy-looking, too-big jeans and a big oversized sweatshirt with hot chocolate stains on it. My hair pretty much resembled an electrified rat's-nest. When walking in neighborhoods, I usually dress down in order to be of zero appeal to weirdos. I've always exercised in part to keep my girlish figure (!) and in part because the smartest, most successful people I know nearly all exercise regularly because it keeps their brains sharp and priorities straight.

ANYWAY, I walked past a contstruction site for a house and a couple of the carpenters gave me a big wolf whistle! MAN, I can't tell you how that made my day!!! I was so flattered ... I smiled and bashfully waved at them, and I think THAT made them feel good, too!

I'm still trim, but at my age .. don't solicit many wolf whistles anymore! And my hair STILL looks like an electrified rat's next most of the time!!! Like right now ...

[LaineyDee]

Wolf-whistles are a product of neanderthal-male behavior which demeans the woman and places her in some sub-equality category.........dontchaknow. Didn't the wimmen’s lib movement teach you anything? /s

[Grunthor]

“when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles.”

Yeah....that’ll teach us guys!

[Soliton]

every time something dumb happens it is in New Zealand?

[Grunthor]

Ziva is quite attractive.

[Jeffrey_D.]

It’s now been rumored that “the workers” in typical male fashion, continued taunting the woman . . .

“Can we touch them?”

"I'm Still a Guy" -- Brad Paisley

When you see a deer you see Bambi
And I see antlers up on the wall
When you see a lake you think picnics
And I see a large mouth up under that log
You're probably thinking that you're going to change me
In some ways well maybe you might
Scrub me down, dress me up oh but no matter what
remember I'm still a guy

When you see a priceless French painting
I see a drunk, naked girl
You think that riding a wild bull sounds crazy
And I'd like to give it a whirl
Well love makes a man do some things he ain't proud of
And in a weak moment I might walk your sissy dog, hold your purse at the mall
But remember, I'm still a guy

I'll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by

I can hear you now talking to your friends
Saying, "Yeah girls he's come a long way"
From dragging his knuckles and carrying a club
And building a fire in a cave
But when you say a backrub means only a backrub
Then you swat my hand when I try
Well, now what can I say at the end of the day
Honey, I'm still a guy

And I'll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by

These days there's dudes getting facials
Manicured, waxed and botoxed
With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands
You can't grip a tacklebox

Yeah with all of these men lining up to get neutered
It's hip now to be feminized
I don't highlight my hair
I've still got a pair
Yeah honey, I'm still a guy

Oh my eyebrows ain't plucked
There's a gun in my truck
Oh thank God, I'm still a guy

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

LOL!!!

I’m telling you, Finny, you can’t fool those construction workers. They know, and I don’t know how, maybe it is a sixth sense thing, good looks even hiding it as you tried to do.

[JRios1968]

[najida]

It’s more a reflection on the whistle-er than the whistle-ee (after years of viewing batchit crazy guys or 99 year old geezers whistling at anything that even remotely looks female). ;)

[JRios1968]

every time something dumb happens it is in New Zealand?

Are you forgetting THAILAND???

[Dr. Ursus]

I going to New Zealand in Sept. I hope this town is on the
tour!

[Finny]

You know, I've given it a lot of thought. Sometimes I think the guys aren't so much whistling at good looks as they are at things that confirm their own happy outlook. It was a gorgeous day, they were working outside with the wide-open skies over their heads, there was everything to be cheerful about. Nobody with sense could be morose on such a day; and maybe there was a bounce in my step or something. I'm not tall and willowy (those kinds of women can't hide their shapeliness!), I'm petite and believe me, I looked dumpy. But I didn't feel dumpy in my heart. Maybe those wonderful construction guys sensed that I was as delighted with the day and life-in-general as they were, and they were just whistling out of sheer "happy to be here, ain't life cool!" abandon. In any case, it sure made me feel like they thought I was nice looking and I couldn't fool them by trying to hide it! That's the way I like to THINK it went down!!!

[RobinOfKingston]

Cool, Finny. That’s a healthy attitude.

[Little Bill]

Greetings Kate.

You mean that there are still men who dare to whistle at women, and get away with it?
When I talk to my secretary I address her with “ma’am” and when she, or any woman, is in my office I leave the door open, wide, wide open.

[Rebelbase]

What’s worse than a woman being whistled at by the guys is when a guy gets whistled at by the guys........

[dhot]

You mean your entire sense of self isn’t wrapped up in whether or not some construction worker whistles at you?

How could you say such a thing?

BLASPHEMY...

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

That is why Vinny and I are talking about construction workers. Not about dirty old men. Those deserve a slap.

Construction folks are such a riot.

In my neighborhood (Rep of Panama) I have 30, 40, 50 stories building being constructed in my neighborhood.

Suddenly, when some good looking young woman goes strolling by, I can hear from my apartment as I sit at my computer, whistles from the bottom of the construction up to the top floors.

They whistle but don’t touch.

[Finny]

They whistle but don’t touch.

AMEN!

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“What’s worse than a woman being whistled at by the guys is when a guy gets whistled at by the guys........”

Shove him off the top story in the construction site...without a parachute.

But that is another story for another day.

[purpleraine]

..ah, I had a few years of those. I agree, enjoy it while you can.

[glock rocks]

If ya really want to impress the gals, ya whistle Stars and Stripes Forever!

[najida]

Yeah yeah,
I mean, we wimmen’s only value is our looks and our only happiness is when men find us attractive...../ sarc (at least in the bubble world).

Off to do a Barbie-lobotomy ;) to create balance in the universe :)

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“When I talk to my secretary I address her with “ma’am” and when she, or any woman, is in my office I leave the door open, wide, wide open.”

As you should. You are very wise to do so.

It is dumb not to. You never know what some nut will invent.

[najida]

Hi little. :)
