Yes, apparently speaking to her without being spoken to first is the definition of a cat call.

And maybe it was set up too, I wouldn't believe a word she said.

Me neither. Like I said, I see beautiful women every day walking around and I watch people around them, and no one acts like that. I myself just get a lot of stares, the occasional comment, but nothing like what is showed in that video.

On her own website promoting her "acting" career she describes herself as having a DD breast size!

HOW ABOUT THIS: For all the men on this thread who continue to defend the actions of these perverts; imagine if you were walking down blocks and blocks of gay men, hooting, hollering, saying "Hey cutie", "Hey sweetie", "Hey baby", "DAAAMN!" "smile a little bit sugar!", and commenting on your physical appearance in a sexual manner, I 1000% bet you wouldn't feel comfortable and approve of such actions. You wouldn't dare say "Oh, he's just appreciating my physical beauty", "he's just being nice", "he's just telling me how attractive I am" you wouldn't want some gay guy following and harassing you.

NOW, don't get your ego gassed because you're mostly likely aren't that attractive to begin with but just imagine. And most likely you're homophobic but that's besides the point. You wouldn't take well to having a man, of the same sex and possibly same physical strengths or stronger cat calling you and threatening you, knowing he can possibly out muscle you if he really wanted and get your booty. It happens in jail but again, that's besides the point.

For you guys that continually support this, you just have animosity against women for whatever reason and/or probably like the disgruntled, sexually frustrated men who cat call like the guys in the video. Step up your game if you want some booty, some bed action. Be a real man.

I'm not a feminist and I certainly gawk at a beautiful women when I see one. However, I NEVER make cat calls or make any creepy, uncomfortable advances. If I see the opportunity I'll certainly TALK to the woman not cat call and shower her with insidious perverted compliments.

I have to admit though, this is funny:

10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Man from FOD News

Very true. I think it could be two things..

1) Because she's dressed so casual and not so "superior" or "high and mighty", guys can approach her more easily.

2) She seems thick (in a good way) so that could be a possibility too

You're probably right. I remember hearing from some guys I knew that some women just seem more attainable than others, and those are the ones that get more attention....I've always been told I see very standoffish and unapproachable. LOL

I saw a women a few weeks back, walking down Fifth Ave by where I work. She was drop dead gorgeous, must have been a model...I was staring at her, but I walked behind her for about four blocks and no one cat called. Stared maybe, but not catcalled.

Yeah.. This is no offense to any female but some women just exude a "easy" approach vibe. Well that's probably better for you maybe, makes your life a little easier... Possibly?

Some women like that possible model you mentioned are just good eye candy. I personally would try to talk to women like that more than the perhaps "easy" approachable females because I just see it as a challenge lol
