Wolf Whistles

[lankeela]

Do you think they are sexual harassment?

[Sqad]

I totally agree with Zacs.
Men look at an attractive woman in a sexual context, wolf whistle or no wolf whistle.
It is all to do with circulating testosterone.

would add to this to clarify. Neither my husband or my son are the wolf whistling type, or ever have been. They are far removed from 'Jack the lads'. No problem with testosterone though! I personally am not attracted to loud jokey men. But I will never agree that wolf whistling is an issue or sexist or that's an indication that it's an indication they would like to bed you. I don't find it offensive though because wolf whistling isn't personal or intended to upset. And if it did, yes it would be my problem.

Zacs you can rest what you like love, but I was inferring that women who say 'oh he would never do that, he's too polite' are making assumptions that may not necessarily be correct. I assumed my OH would have wolf-whistled at least once in his life -he says he hasn't - Frankly I couldn't care a less one way or another, but when he says most men wolf whistle to show approval of a womans looks, not cos they want to bed them, then I believe him.

[Apc2604]

Sqad. Women look at attractive men as well. And of course it's a sexual thing. But I don't think wolf whistling meant or means they want to bed you for most wolf whistlers. It's just a jack the lad thing. Some don't grow out of it ;o)

Then either he’s lying or you’re deluded. Love.

‘ I was inferring that women who say 'oh he would never do that, he's too polite' are making assumptions that may not necessarily be correct.’

Wise words, you should take heed. Oh, hang on.....

LOL....lol.....yeah right.....

Fortunately, most men are respectful towards women, but now it would seen by some women feminist types that most men are potentially dangerous at the worse or disrespectful/rude. They seem to dislike men. I don't want to be associated with this type of woman. I just don't want them to think they represent the majority. I don't think you can stereotype men or woman and that some feminists activists beliefs are discriminatory.

[AuntPollyGrey]

Zac you must have a very strange relationship with your wife, if you have one that is.....

[Zacs-Master]

I have a wife of 32 years, love. It’s survived so long by both of us being honest. You should try it.

Blimey lankeela. look what you started ...

[Bobbisox1]

Bobbs gets hot pants out of her 70s wardrobe and goes past a builders site and hopes for a few whistles :0)))

[lankeela]

burleyshirley I can't believe it - talk about starting an argument in an empty room! I have to agree with apc at 11.53.

[burlyshirley]

LOL ..

Think this thread needs more of a whistle blower, than a wolf whistle.

// No it wasn’t and your husband is hardly likely to tell you the truth, is he! It’s the testosterone, you know!//

I hope that was sarcasm that went over my head ! I thought it was the estrogen that made women into ickle .....
