Hey, be glad they’re ‘cat calls’, not ‘dog calls’, kiddo.
I wish someone would ‘cat call’ at me again – all I get now is: ‘Hey lady, are your fucking insane?’
Take it as a compliment Dino. Some men just have this strange mix of shyness and confidence that manifests itself in this kind of behaviour.
WHOOOOOOO, TAKE IT OFF!!!
Meow!………..
now that was just dirty
More like a strange mix of sexual harrassment and being a douche.
…we get it, you’re beautiful…
Why do they call it a “Cat Call” anyway? I have yet to hear some crazy ol’ cat lady call in her cats by this means. That would be fucking creepy.
Can one be charged for sexual harassment for doing a cat-call? Wow, that’s is fucked up.
I think we need more laws, by-laws, rules and regulations. We have way to much freedom and we are not quite protected enough by the Government.
It’s just fucking rude. And its not just me, but my friends as well. I dress really, really modestly…’cept I own an ass the size of Manhattan.
Oooo, you’re turnin’ me on!!
It’s only a guy’s hormones yowling, after all they do have a prime directive, biologically speaking. Pay it no mind, just think of them as drooling masturbating chimps who are all ‘ooo-eee-awk’ when a female baboon’s big glowing red butt struts by.
AS a feminist and a woman I do not like to be objectified.
However, there was this one construction crew in the Southend that every time I walked by to take me wean to the day care they would stop what they were doing without fail for a week and use 2x4s as guitars and start singing SHES GOT LEGGS…ZZ TOP…
Now how could I not smile and applause every morning and some afternoons….it was like having my own band…. they were good too but do not quit your day job guys! 🙂
Dino you seem to be harassed everywhere you go… maybe you should try staying at home or put on some clothes!
Yeah! Stay in your home, how dare you leave, you filthy slut. Unaccompanied by a male relative no less!
Scott, you can get away with plenty of shit and not be charged; doesn’t make it any less harrassment. Don’t worry, I’m sure your right to lean out your buddy’s car window screaming SHOW MEH YER TITS at someone who is just trying to walk down the street, will be protected. Sorry, I mean, “complimenting a lady.”
Wow, I bet Dino is a fox! Never seen her before but I’d wager a million bucks that she is one fly little honey.
Kay would probably be jealous of her for sure.
I used to think the chick in her avatar looked kinda hot but then I clicked on it for a better look and it was a kid :S
This girl must look look like Megan fucking Fox. I didn’t care before but this is like her third or fourth bitch on this subject so now I’m curious.
If you don’t look the attention, get an ugly Betty makeover.
Shucks, NGF, you made me giggle 🙂 Hey rat, google ‘Priscilla, 1969’ by Joseph Csazbo.
Dgaf – not fucking Megs…but people tell me I look like a spitting image of Ellen Page in person.
I don’t mind cat calls, and feminists piss me off.
Dino is HOT!
Of course they do fizz….you might have to act like a real man for a change……
It is much easier not having standards or competition.
whoosh
Hahaha mcgayle,
I’m a woman.
hahahhaahah I was not sure by your legs 😉
ps. I was speaking generally anyway in jest…..not personal intended
“Legs”, the best music video ever.
Hahaha Fizz….salted. *throws down two fingers*
i can see dino as a hippster
I’m with you, Dino. I HATE that. I just keep walking. Can’t be bothered to even validate them with a head turn. What’s worse are the guys that do it while I’m hand-in-hand with my boyfriend. Yeah, cos you’re twice the man he is, honking and hollering from your awesomobiles.
SMYT… It is better when you do not have to ask though. I can not think of anything I like better than boobs.
haha i dont get cat calls i more so get doors slammed in my face
waaa jk
There’s nothing wrong with liking boobs. But you don’t have to act like there’s not a person attached to them.
Is 23 too young for me to start feeling the effects of arthritis ?
OP, you were probably dressed like a whore.
Just sayin’…
Right Hali, because people in Halifax only catcall at the scantily clad women. Guys here will holler at chicks in snowsuits.
Anton….nope…. this weather is causing to a few issues for folks that never had any joint/muscles issues so wait til warm comes then see if you are still in pain….
Unfortunalty the ladies these days can be wearing a turtle neck sweater and still be oggled. I’m a guy and even I’m embarrassed at half the shit I hear. Time to get some class gentleman, and I use that word lightly these days… A girl can dress however the fuck she wants, mind you depending on the degree, expect some looks, but the yelling, honking does nothing but make the rest of us look like assholes… I wonder if they really think it gives them a chance… pathetic…
Damn it Miles, snowsuits… why didnt I think of that… lol
LOGiC for mayor!!!!!
Agreed Logic, Like Heathro, this happens to my gal when we are out together too. If they weren’t passing by at 40km/h I would point out that maybe they too could have a girl on their arm if they just changed their tactics a little. pathetic indeed.
naaa i get it to in my hands when it rains
but i also crack my knuckles
Give some examples of these cat calls
MEOW!
Agreed Miles, but they only do it when driving by at 40kmh becasue they are too chicken shit to say it when at arms length for obvious reasons…
So, NGF you want her to tie you up and cut your balls off?
…and you think you know your BFFs….*shudder*
Yeaaah…sry NGF, not up for that…I’d rather go for a Screwdriver instead. I think I’m actually leaning more towards the Rose Byrne side anyways.
Dino, would you rather someone bark at you??? Catcalls & whistles may not be the most sophistocated way a male can express appreciation for a woman’s appearance, but come on, admit that there is atleast a teeny, tiny little part of you that might just feels a little boost on a morning you step out feeling like you look like utter crap. You’ve mentioned in a few different bitches now that you look just like Ellen Page. I don’t know why you want a bunch of strangers on the internet knowing what you look like, but it’s starting to seem like it matters alot to you that readers here draw the conclusion that you are hot. (Ellen Page?? To each his own I guess!).
Cat calls are great!
It’s good to communicate………………..according to Dr. Phil.
Just makin’ conversation Scoob. Take it with a grain of salt.
I agree with Scooby, it’s getting just a tad annoying.
Fine guys, no more of this topic. But the whole issue with people picking on the way I look is a valid bitch in my opinion; not just a bitch, but a serious complaint regarding sexual harassment. 🙁
SIGH
cry more.
You say that people picking on the way you look is a valid bitch Dino, yet you readily offer an anonymous board (without anyone asking for it) frequent descriptions of your appearance. I would think that someone as pestered for their looks as you seemingly are would find the anonymity here to be refreshing.
Afterall, a fair amount of people here have responded (either jokingly or seriously) with an interest that now goes beyond your intellectual contributions here. You say you’re so tired of the catcalls; I would think that someone so sensitive would also be concerned about being sexually-harassed here.
Dino, I wouldnt bother with some of these neanderthals… They’re just bitching because in real life they dont stand a chance… Good internet tough guys… They’re likely the ones “cat calling” for lack of a better term.
Logic – Oh please. It’s not a matter of jealousy, you dorkus. In real life, i wouldn’t say that i “don’t stand a chance” or that i even consider myself to be lacking in physical appearance. I’m sure there are plenty of good looking people on this board who can say the same for themselves, but don’t, well, because who really cares?
And i can assure you that i am not spending any amount of time cat calling at anyone. Idiot.
Yeah…Hammer’s a woman.
logic: or maybe some of us are in a happy relationship/married and just can’t help but lol at how pathetic some of the posters on here are?
Back off, hali.
WE ARE NOT GETTING INTO THIS.
Dino, don’t expect to be able to come to a bitch board named Love the Way We Bitch and expect to be able to… bitch.
Unless it’s about late busses, rude bus drivers, people on the bus acting weird, the smell of the bus, bus fares, bus designs, strollers on the bus, or someone not giving up their seat on the bus.
Learn your place, woman.

Right, qwert. I think this marks the time where I slink off into another thread and leave this one to fester.
Whether she’s attractive or not, I think it’s a valid bitch to say that you’re getting sick of being approached and interacted with by random horny/misogynistic strangers. I think it would be just as valid if she was all like “I’m fucking hot, but these catcalls have to stop.” Most catcalling isn’t about “appreciation,” but about making others feel powerless. And as far as I’m concerned, saying “you’re just trying to hint you’re hot” is just another way of saying STFU, sit down, and look pretty. How about being honest for a change guys?
Right Mole Rat…and besides, I never said I was ”hot” (hell, I don’t even think I’m that attractive), OTHER people said that. This bitch is about cat calls in general, how I hate that they even exist, my distaste for the disrespectful people that spew them out of their mouths, and in defence of all women in general and the fact that they’re not deserved by most.
Jim, So I’m an idiot yet you use the word “dorkus”…Interesting… It’s a bitch site, and “cat calls” are what are idiotic, and deserve to be bitched about… As per my previous comment, it was not addressed to any one specific person, but apparently you are an aforementioned “internet tough guy”, thanks for making my point!
Hali, I cant help but agree with that statement… But I can add that useless comments (cry more) are just that, useless… But it appears you are now adding to the convo so good stuff!
Logic, you really ought to change your handle…
I’m in no way an ‘internet tough guy’. All i did was agree with what Scooby said, i don’t see how that makes me anything of the sort. In fact, your firing back at me in the same tone kind of puts you in that same ‘tough guy’ category, now doesn’t it?
I never once said that a bitch about cat calling wasn’t valid. It’s a very bitch-worthy subject, and i’m sure almost every woman can vouch for that. I agree that they are comepletely idiotic, and Dino has every right to come here and bitch about them.
Speaking of handles, Is this really Jim Shaprio? Im bored…
Logic, neither Rosie O’Donnell nor Jim Shapiro post on LTWWB.
I appreciate that Dino! I’ll sleep easier now! I gotta admit, I forgot about the Rosie post, I had to think there for a min, haha
Hahaha
Logic, I’m not bitching because I don’t stand a chance- and I’m not a neanderthal. I just happened to notice a certain trend with Dino’s posts which I find to be a bit perplexing given the topic for this bitch of hers.
You mean you don’t want me to call you, Dino? 🙁
heehee
Where’s Shaggy?
Shaggy’s in Poland right now- aquiring various documents
Excellent, I’ll do what I can to expedite his papers.
Thanks Logic, and please be careful- there are so many copies and photocopies of the copies laying -around in boxes there- and since smoking indoors is legal, a fire could start easily
Remember… Only you can prevent forest fires
