Trillions of dollars spent every year to look more attractive, complain when it works.

What the h**l? That woman at the 4:30 mark got p***ed because a guy told her he liked her dress? It seems like a pretty respectful compliment.

that is why i dont talk to women i dont know

it is almost always harrassment unless you are good-looking

and i am certainly not that

I asked my girlfriend if she gets catcalled often and she says yes. However, it's almost exclusively older men with younger men doing it once in a blue moon.

Every lady I dated who had big boobs always got catcalled. The average/smaller breasted ladies not so much. It's like dudes see them as an invitation to hoot and holler. So weird.

"That was offensive. Really offensive!" She says as she's giggling with a shit eating grin, after a guy invites her to work at his strip club. Women love the attention, let's face it. The only time it's creepy is when it's from someone they aren't/would never be interested in, they will almost always swoon like a little schoolgirl if it was compliments from a good looking guy like Brad Pitt. And most of these b/f's are probably single now if that really bothered them. The best way to take it is that it's a compliment to you, unless they're laying hands on her.

If they really cared that much, they'd wear a cubic Z fake engagement ring. They don't.

I've never cat called a woman even once. That clearly means that cat calling must be the secret to getting women. In any case, doing the exact opposite to what I've been doing can't hurt your chances.

Its called law of large numbers. If you catcall 10,000 women a year you could end up getting 2-3 hookups a year.

Ya big time. Old guys, young guys, doesn't matter. They all stare and turn their heads at a good looking girl. They'll follow for a block. Italian ideas of personal space is much different from ours.

Hell I got used to it living there but I had to turn it off when I got back to the US lol.

It's like the old joke:

Guy was walking down the street with his buddy, and every woman that they walked past, his buddy asked "hey, wanna fuck?". His buddy got slapped frequently. Guy asks him, "do you get slapped like that all the time?", buddy says "yeah, but I get laid a lot, too".

I've been catcalled several times. I also used to get confused for a girl when I was younger though.
