    When guys in a group do this, they are relating their manliness to each other. It's more a sort of bonding ritual than anything else. They probably don't mean any harm, even though it is rude and inconsiderate.

    As a man, I think I would really enjoy getting shouts and whistles from women who thought I was attractive if they were sincere. I imagine a lot of guys feel this way, and maybe that is why they don't understand why a woman would feel any differently because they don't realize how different it is for women.

    • bonding ritual sounds about right.

    • One reason I don't like it is because this is how men react when they see strippers and I never provoked this behaviour...

    • Would you feel it was harmless fun if a guy whistled at you?

    • Its irritating because we'd rather be ignored than judged.

    • I don't enjoy it at all it scares me in a way because I make it a point to cover myself up but men still shout things while I'm walking home. I really don't want to be acknowledged as something that could be a potential mate by a large group of men I don't know.
