The singer Laura Izibor is Black Irish. "From My Heart To Yours!". She's a hottie too, so the OP has good company.

I must stress that I DON'T dress in a way that would encourage this kind of behavior. I don't even look at the culprits.

Men with nothing better to do than whistle at me, honk their horns, and stick their tongues out at me in a suggestive way. I cannot even wait for a bus at 11pm without some men stopping their cars to say some obscenity. I'm constantly bombarded with "hey mame" which I find very insulting.

Women: How do you deal with this?

The men that do it: FYI- You're not making her feel special. You're making her feel scared, wear baggier clothing and insecure.

Not trying to bash this city, but when I lived in Miami Beach I never encountered such blantantly disrespectful behavior.
hey shawty

She's kinda funny looking. And I was never dogging the OP's looks. Just teasing her about the "mame" comment.

You guys are awful. lol

My friend from Iran suggested I try wearing a burka. She never receives any disrespectful comments when she wears it. Hmm...I think I'm going to try it for a day. It will be a shame if I have to wear a burka in the United States in order to receive respect from men.

I'd rather "hey shawty" than "hey mami" followed by vulgar gestures.

I've had dozens of single female friends on the North Side and none of them ever get annoyed by guys constantly cat-calling them. they're not ugly either!

Maybe you should skip the burka and go right for a brown bag over your head.

I get it all the time when I'm in Logan Square.
I have also gotten it while sweaty and gross and carrying groceries.

I probably get it other times but I can conveniently ignore the creeps thanks to my ipod.
