After reading this thread I asked my 3 daughters about it. All 3 said that when a man does a "double take" [turning around and looking again] it seems the mans admiration is more sincere than a whistle because the reaction is reflexive and honest.
agree with this.
The double take is okay and it is a lot more effective than a whistle (or beeping the horn etc) - which I would totally ignore.
Men and women are sooo different. As a man I would welcome a group of women whistling at me. If they were hot, of course.
Yeah and that is why some men do it. Little do they know the woman may hate it, as you say most men would like it.
But if you read city data relationships forum you learn these things
Been reading this and noticed how quickly it went from being whistled at to outright harassment and dangerous situations.
THIS is why men aren't good at flirting anymore -- because the mental imagery popularized goes from a guy whistling at a woman (which CAN be done tastefully, contrary to what some of you may think) to howling, gibbering packs of knuckle-draggers hooting and slavering as they dog a woman's heels until she fears for her very life.
Although there's certainly some truth to the assertion that for Ugly Guy whistling is harassment while for Hot Guy whistling is silly, good-time fun and admiration:
...it's also true that it's all in approach and delivery. Whistling is NOT my preferred form of flirtation but I've done it a couple of times. I didn't leer, I didn't stalk -- I just whistled lightly, often in surprise myself (kind of like when one gets hit unexpectedly and whistles at the pain), and then maintained eye contact and smiled, even followed up with a compliment. It's never been poorly received.
It's NOT the best form of flirtation; but it's not the denigrating, brutish expression of the beast within some here have painted it to be, either. The next step from whistling is NOT to seize a woman's hair, beat her senseless and drag her back to the cave for some rousing sessions of enslavement and torturous degradation. Seriously, what's WITH some of you people?

Exactly. The OP asked about a simple whistle. Not lewd comments, not a group of men, not men following you around, not stalking etc etc
You're right Lisalan, I just meant whistle's. I thought that alone was rude and disrespectful. So catcalls and lewd comments I figured would go without saying is something that women would not like.

So is there a new rule that posters can not expand or elaborate on a topic? If so I didnt get the memo.

Some of us people dont care to be whistled at. Perhaps our experience is that it begins with a whistle, not always innocent in its approach and delivery, and turns into something more creepy or downright intimidating. Once one experiences that all other whistles, no matter how innocent, may be tainted by the bad experiences.
If I was certain it was directed at me, I'd take it as a compliment.
Like 3 months ago, I was coming up to a stop light...and there was this woman trying to cross the street. I saw that she clearly wasn't watching where she was walking, so I whistled at her to be careful. She thought I was flirting with her, and she started playing with her hair. Just then a Hummer H2 barreled into her.

I agree with this but I would like to make one point: whistling begins when women are young girls, just developing, and at least when I was a young girl, I was dealing with hormones and my own changing body. To have others noticing it in an obvious way, even if well intended, made me self-conscious and yes, I would walk blocks to go around construction workers. The attention frightened me. I did not know what to do with it. The fact that I had no older brothers probably played a part in it too, in that I did not really know what boys were about.
I don't have any reason to think that is not reflective of most women's first experiences with whistling. But as I grew older, I realized that it was mostly harmless attention that took a little boredom out of a construction worker's day, and put a little sway into my hips. Period. I think it is about being comfortable with your body.

Usually gets a smile. 
If they were hot, of course.
