Mens reaction to women

[NikkiB]

Why do men whistle or hum tunes when an attractive woman walks past them? Is this peacock-like behaviour, or just sheer nerves? Or something else...

Its an appreciation of a fine filly.A whistle is a harmless way of complimenting a lady on her appearance.

This of course is frowned upon by dungaree wearing,lentil munching,pipe smoking boilers,and others of the PC brigade!

thanks for your answer.

I didn't mean wolf-whistles aimed at us fairer sex!! I mean the aimless tunes men seem to whistle or sing whenever we pass or look at them. It happens so often that I take it for granted. A woman has never passed me in the street and suddenly launched into a "dum-de-dum-da-da". Do men pass other men and start singing? Much as I'd like to spend the day in the life of an average male, I just don't know!

Nikkib, Why do them same women ALWAYS look round?

[joko]

probably nerves, like when you are are extremely angry but trying to keep calm and you whistle or hum.

but could be a way to alert their mates that they have spotted an nice looking girl, so they can all appreciate her

what tunes are they whistling? if its the theme tune to crufts or desparate housewives or something then they are just trying to be funny to their mates

Joko, it is usually humming along the lines to "Who let the dogs out."

No, only kidding. :)
