Wolf whistling

Wolf whistle: No physical contact. Can easily be ignored if so desired.

Bum squeeze: Yes physical contact. Impossible to ignore.

Are there really people who get upset because somebody has noticed that they are attractive, and expressed this in a non-physical way? I think I'm quite broad minded but try as I might, I can't comprehend that. The sad fact is in most people's eyes someone is only attractive over a short period of their life. Most of the time you are either a kid, or a nondescript middle aged person, or sadly, a largely invisible elderly person. For that magical few years between about 20 and maybe 30, if you're really lucky, people will notice how attractive you are. That will manifest in some cases as a wolf whistle, but mostly it will slip by almost silently with nothing more than a sneaky glance. Sadly, for some people, that magical time when everybody notices you never actually comes at all. Surely any form of compliment, as long as it is harmless (ie can't do any harm, ie non-physical) has to be savoured, because the sad truth is they won't just keep on coming.

 

'For that magical few years between about 20 and maybe 30 ...'

Blimey. I was still being chucked out of pubs at 30 for looking under age.

 

I've worked in a male enviroment for more than 40 yrs. Never had any women in the workshop.

We now have one female joiner.

Cant even have a calendar now,.... unless its country scenes.

 

How things have changed. When I started my first job, the blokes would accidentally on purpose knock our papers and pens on the floor so that we would have to bend over and pick them up. There was no point in complaining. You had to get your own back some other way.

 

Nice peaceful country scenes, they're the best!!!!

Had my share of Wolf Whistle in my day, enjoy a well sounded one. And I have give some in return.
As a redhead I believe I get some interesting comments.
Once I was in an elevator and some man looked over to me and said " Why, your a red head", I casually took hold of my long hair, pulling it forward to glance at it, and retorted back to him, "Hey, your right".

Once I was somewhere, and a man said to me "Hey Reds", took a look at him, gave him a sweet smile and wink, and said "Hey Balddie", and walked away.

Once I was walking down a street, passed a group of dark skinned men, and they yelled out to me, "Hey, reds, I yelled back to them, Hey Black, they giggled.

Again with a dark skin male---this one yelled to me "Hey carrot top", and I responded, "Hey Black top". But this one got a little defensive, and said, "This is not black" pointing at his head, of course I retorted," and this is the color of a carrot."
He recinded.

One more: I just love it, when someone will say to me, "Oh I know someone in my neighborhood looks just like you, she is a red head." Then I say, well, it is a strange thing indeed, I also know someone in my neighborhood, who looks just like you, she is a blond.

Truly, all of the above have happened to me.
