Answer 21

You pull a cod fish out of your purse and whack them upside their heads with it.

Of course........why you have a cod fish in your purse is anyone's guess.  

Answer 22

Just ignore them, and keep on walking. Just try to take it as a compliment and try to let it boost your confidence if anything. They are just being men, they think with their other head.

Answer 23

Its called "catcalling" and men do it all the time. Epecially construction workers. Theyre just being typical men.

Answer 24

We are all created as people, no matter what country you are from, and people are all created with many components to them and there bodies, and within there bodies is a desire for s*x....Most people or men, in this case, don't know how to manifest that particular desire in the proper direction,, and so, then you get this kind of erratic behaviour, or weird kind of reactions......

try not to pay to much attention to this kind of stuff, and try to have some patience !

Answer 25

Because they're men and they're perverts and they've got nothing better to do.

I'd just ignore them and carry on walking.

But if they touch me, I'll rip out the spare brick that I carry in my bag and wave it around frantically close to their head(s).

Answer 26

they find you attractive, you should be proud. But just so you know, they're perverts so you shouldn't feel proud Lol

They do this since they like to chat up girls and perhaps get the girl to react. In other words they do it on purpose to gain attention and sometime to even annoy you Lol.  

Answer 27

A smart retort would do wonders.... Then again the simple "**** off" would also be brilliant. If your nervous about this, just walk away. If you feel they're being pricks, and won't stand for it, retort.

If it gets worse, call to your local police station, and file a complaint for sexual harassment, as that is exactly what it is.

Hope this helps...

Answer 28

Like most woman react...

I'm not going to create a scene by glaring at them, nor am I going to tease back (because I'm not that type of girl, and there's an audience!) so I avoid eye contact and I strut away quickly past them HAHAHAHA....

Isn't that how everyone does it???

I'm just a walking v****a to them, why even share dialogue with them.

Answer 29

You're not supposed to react men do this more for the people around them than the actual person they are whisteling at! They're showing off so ignore them, head high girl A real man will talk to you not AT you! :)

Answer 30

Well, hard to say. You can or you can't. It's really something you should decide. Maybe they are teasing, maybe they really like you. But one things for sure, don't have s*x with them. There gonna end up raping you.

Answer 31

I go out of my way to ignore them, always have, always will. Always hated it. I find it degrading can't think why they do it, male hormones I suppose, brains all zipped up all day in their pants.
