Why do men enjoy catcalls, but not women?

Because women are showered in compliments from the day they're born, men aren't. A compliment to a man is perhaps the rarest thing he will ever receive.

Because it's out-of-the-ordinary for men and an everyday occurence for women.

Women love sexual attention from men, no matter how crass or inappropriate.

It's just important to remember that women only see 20% or so guys as "men."

There's nothing more upsetting to one than a non-Chas expressing his sexuality.

>>36921290
Because it reduces women to objects of male sexual desire, in a society that already demeans them.

if someone just says you are a qt or something like that then it's nice and i wanna thank them, i just feel weird if someone talks about fucking me.
idk, if i'm not in the mood i don't know how to be like i'm not like feeling it rn, so i just go along with it, i just don't like it, and apologize for being mean by not being like horny at the time...

>>36921338
Do women deserve any less though? They have their chance every day to not be treated like a disposables onahole but they chose to be one

To women any man sexually interested in them is a potential rapist

As a man who has been lusted after for his body, I can sympathize with how annoying it is.

>>36921290
Why the fuck would you guys enjoy cat calls?

I've been cat called once, maybe twice in my life, and I hated it. It made me feel self conscious and like they were laughing at me.

I'm not saying women should or shouldn't, but men (especially robots)? Fuck no. It's stupid bullshit and it WILL make you feel self conscious.

I just want to be able to walk down the street without some chads calling me a faggot, or women pretending to hit on me.

Original comment

I'm an ugly guy and I've been catcalled as a joke. No one would catcall an ugly woman, but women with low self-esteem might think it's a joke and be hurt.

only real answer in this thread incoming

because women are weaker than men and when men are catcalled, they don't feel like they are in any danger but when women are catcalled by men it could easily be a precursor to physical harassment

>>36921670
nah. people have done that to me just for memeing on me and i'm like uggo af desu.

>>36921304
Catcalls aren't compliments you fucking shut-in.

>>36921290
What's a catcall?
If you know these terms you might be normie trash.

>>36921691
So if I, a skinny nerd, were to catcall a woman they would like it?

thanks man, gonna go try it

>>36921290
It's intimidating.

Men aren't afraid of getting assaulted or harassed by women so when they get catcalled it's just a joke, when women get catcalled by men there can be an undercurrent of threat.

>>36921691
>>36921768

Bullshit excuses.

>>36921330

This is the real answer. If the compliment comes from an attractive guy the girl will like it.

The problem is girls are only attracted to a very small number of men at face value, so most catcalls fall into the creep category rather than making them feel flattered.

>>36921739
well yeah, you are still stronger than most women idiot

its in your genetics

>>36922210

And realistically speaking, woman are much less likely to be assualted or killed by a man, its just spooks.

Catcalls are a fucking myth, rare ones that do that are immigrants near the train stations, poor, uneducated, unemployed people that usually come from sexist cultures, hardly people whose opinions you should care about.

Women love to receive sexual attention from Chads. However most catcalls are from poor minorities so women react negatively to them.

>>36921597

women naturally dont like to interact with men they don't find attractive

>>36923249

Exactly. My point is getting laid is largely based on some form of cat calling, guys are conditioned to hit on large numbers of woman.

Catcalls are a sign of aggression. A lot of men will stalk and harass random women because they feel entitled to sex. It's threatening and lowers someone's sense of self-worth. Most women like normal compliments.

>>36923350
It's pretty clear you don't know what cat calling is.

>>36921290
they only like it from chad

like the facebook pictures of that girl who shared a photo saying "i wish a boy would just hug me and call me pretty" or some shit, some spergy beta says "i will tomorrow" and she says "no, not you".

>>36923504
Only poo loos, mudslimes and dindus do that
And maybe some failed Chad's
Only some white dock workers or builders cat call the rest know better

>>36923515

Its all the same. The vulgarity of what they say isn't the issue, its who its coming from.

I touched a girls butt in school and she wanted to kill me, whereas other guys would get away with it because of who they were.

>>36923504
>because they feel entitled to sex
I feel like nobody knows what the word "entitled" means anymore.

>>36921392
>say shit like this
>waaaahhhhh it's everyone elses fault i'm alone!

also the answer is pretty simple, not all this men see women as objects bollocks.
>man see's babe
>man compliments babe hoping for either a response that can lead to something or just to make her feel good
>depending on looks, quality of clothing, appearance, wealth etc. the girl will respond or be disgusted
man just wants sex, as the stupid bird i saw today does. he was cruising around trees squawking at lady flappers to get sex. he wants to reproduce and get a partner. as does man, wants to get a partner to love and sex up.

>>36921290
They think they are going to get raped
Or because tumblr said its bad

>>36923631
If a guy just "wants" sex but still respects the fact that the woman might not, the attention is flattering. Men who feel entitled to sex get offended and hostile if a woman turns him down.

Am I using the word wrong?

>>36925108
That's harsh, but there are a few ways to take that statement even if it's callous. If you're gonna choose one, I think the good thing to do here is to acknowledge that it's a choice based on your perspective. It could easily be that they just wanted it to be a photo for them, and less that your visage stains it or something.

literally because it just makes me feel unsafe and uncomfortable. if im already walking alone past some group of guys and its not pre-6:00, having them leer and yell at me is not what makes my day.
even if a guy is trying to actually talk to me and get my number or whatever, and won't take no for an answer, i get nervous as fuck. e.g. what if he follows me or something?

>>36925719

>>36921290
Women are constantly showered with compliments both sincere and insincere. By the time they reach a certain age, they're both desensitised to male attention and wary of the intentions behind it. When a guy approaches a girl out of the blue and compliments her, the girl doesn't think "aw, that's so nice of you". She thinks "what the fuck does this one want? is he going to try to fuck me? does he deserve to fuck me? how do I get out of this situation? how do I make him ant to fuck me more? how do I make him want to fuck me less? is he lying? is he telling the truth? how many other girls has he said this to today? is this just a game? am I just a conquest? how do I get out of this?"

On the other hand, guys who aren't 8-10/10s rarely receive compliments let alone romantic/sexual female attention. They go their whole lives either being only just acknowledged by women or reviled by them. So, when they finally end up receiving an actual compliment from one, they don't question it at all: they just end up tripping over themselves trying to figure out how to take it without immediately prompting the girl to withdraw her compliment and her affection. When a guy gets complimented he thinks "oh boy, oh god, oh jeez, does she like me? no, of course not, she hates me and she's just being polite. but what if she likes me? if she liked me, that would be fantastic, I would love to be with her, but she doesn't actually like me and I'm going to die alone"

Serious answer here. I've only been catcalled once in my life but it was very uncomfortable. It was when I was 13 and was at the beach. I was wearing a pretty conservative one-piece swimsuit and was covered by a big towel. I was trying to cross the road when a car full of men who were at least 30+ years old drove by and one of them yelled at me that he wanted me to give him a blowjob. Then they all laughed at me and drove away. It made me feel scared and embarrassed. I had just gone through puberty and this made me realize that men were now looking at me sexually. Not just 13 year old boys, but men twice my age and up. I've heard from a lot of other girls that their experiences with catcalling mostly happened when they were just starting to develop and were mainly from older guys trying to take advantage of their naivety and inexperience. I honestly don't give a shit if men want to look or talk about that stuff in private, but there's no reason to yell it at a teenager. I believe it messes up a girl when she gets inappropriate sexual attention from older guys at such a young age.

Otherwise, catcalls are just rude. They're not the worst, but I never want attention called to me in public like that. Compliments are nice, yelling explicit sexual things is weird and uncalled for. I wouldn't care what that person looks like, it's rude no matter what. You don't have to say anything.

I agree with this on a lot of levels.

Catcalling is completely unnecessary unless you're saying something disrespectful, as it always occurs from a distance.

If it was a genuine compliment it would happen at a more personal level and would never be considered cat calling.

"Cat calling" is fucking autistic. Complimenting people is not, in almost every case.

when i was like 15 i got sorta catcalled one. a much older women who was drunk came up to me and stammered "hey cutie how old are you" and i said 15 and she said "damn i really like you" and i ran home and wrote it down cause i was feeling so confident. i still look back at it sometimes because it makes me feel attractive

>>36927230
>Does he even deserve to fuck me?

>>36921290
Speak for yourself, I would want to be cat called.

>>36929482
Why not? Assuming you're a guy.

>>36929539
Because it's fucking creepy not flattering. I'm not going to want some random slut yelling at me.

>>36929582
If she actually means it (which I wouldn't be able to actually tell if she is or not), I'd be flattered, and it would also probably be the highlight of my day or year. I agree that it's different for men and women though, like some of the other anons have said.

Also, creepy is a normie word to demean robots. it's just as dumb as using 'virgin' as an insult on /r9k/.

>>36929638
>getting cat called by a complete stranger isn't creepy.
Even if she was a 10/10 it's still fucking creepy, like you have no idea what their intentions are.

>>36929755
>like you have no idea what their intentions are.
What is she going to do? Rape me?

>>36929785
Stalk you, take pictures, have someone mit you, etc. How in the world is yelling at someone on the street who doesn't recognize you a reasonable thing to do?

Male sexuality is much more threatening to women than the other way around. I wouldn't want to see a naked guy walking around with an erection either, but most men would probably be happy to see a naked girl with hard nipples because that isn't threatening.

>>36921290

"make a whistle, shout, or comment of a sexual nature to a woman passing by."
Had to look for the definition, I thought cat calling was only whistling at someone suggestively. And it's more like commenting at someone that passes by, in front of them, I assume. Not shouting at someone far away over the other side of the street.

I never get female attention, if some 10/10 says something sexual about me, or whistles (non ironically), then I'd feel wanted or good about myself. I never get compliments, getting cat-called would be the second closest thing to that. Problem is, I'm an ugly looking dweeb, and a woman cat-calling someone that isn't Chad is probably some sort of mean prank. AS A GUY, I don't find it weird.

>have someone mit you
what does this even mean?
Is it like get someone to mug you? I'd feel wary if I get cat-called by some woman that has Chad besides her. But if it's only a woman alone, then I don't mind.

I don't know if it's considered cat calling, but I got called cute when I passed by a hot mature woman in campus. But I guess that was more of a compliment, idk.

because the spoiled little brats have nothing else to whine about. i have never been catcalled, fuckers are lucky.

Because it starts before most of us have even been kissed/had an orgasm. First catcall = 11 yo. 40+yo dude. In front of my friend's mom and aunt. He sucked his teeth at me.

Because I've been almost grabbed by a guy who came up to me asking for "a hug." He kept coming closer, his voice suddenly deepened, he reached for me, I ran. Felt his hand brush the back of my shirt as I ran away. He screamed, "GET BACK HERE YOU BITCH." The last thing I heard before the building door closed was him laughing. It wasn't funny laughter.

Because a guy followed me almost all the way home from the bus stop once begging to "take me on a date" and making kissy noises at me. Total stranger. I finally broke when he asked why I wasn't talking to him and told him I was scared. He said, "Why?"

Because I've had dudes in cars follow me for blocks, yelling or screaming at me from the open windows. No one ever does anything or intervenes. They've gone around the block to cut me off at the next corner before. One even pulled out in front of me in the crosswalk and blocked my path. Two guys inside. Wanted to "offer me a job." Kept moving the car when I tried to move around them.

Because they laugh when I'm genuinely scared, like they would never hurt me, but then call me a bitch or a cunt or a whore when I walk away.

Because literally every woman I know has 10 stories like this

Mostly this.

Crass, obscene catcalling is very intimidating given than I'm weaker than almost every male and the words used (and behaviour displayed) are disrespectful, objectifying, humilliating and sound threatening. It makes me feel unsafe. It's verbal harassment. I assure you it can be scarring when it happens at a young age.

Polite compliments feel neutral (and several women like them) as long as the guy is not pushy, doesn't start following me and doesn't try to touch me. They make me uncomfortable but they're acceptable because they're not disrespectful nor aggressive.

>>36932393
> literally every woman I know has 10 stories like this
Could take it up to this point on good faith, but this fucking lost me.

>>36932717
I'm sure it's homophily up to a point, I know there are women who don't have stories like this. I'm just talking about the ones I do know, like personally and could tell you their first and last names.

I tend to live in cities, with large populations, where this happens a lot, which probably does have a good amount to do with it. That said, I grew up in the country/small town, and this does happen there too. Just not nearly as often.

>>36932717
It's probably true, though. I hardly ever go outside and even I have stories like >>36932393 and I know my colleagues have even more of these.

>>36932700
>Polite compliments feel neutral (and several women like them) as long as the guy is not pushy, doesn't start following me and doesn't try to touch me. They make me uncomfortable but they're acceptable because they're not disrespectful nor aggressive.
Also I agree with this. It's unfortunate that the bad ones tend to stand out in your memory. A few milder ones, or one really bad one, can make you more innately skeptical, paranoid, or pissed off the next time.

Even if there really wasn't anything to fear, you're just never sure after that.
