What good comes from hollering at a woman on the street? No, seriously. I want to understand. Do men think it actually works and expect to get some play out of it? Do they do it to impress their fellow males? Have any of you tdub mens had this work?

Backstory: I was leaving the public library and was minding my own damn business when this old man (old enough to be my grandpa) starts yelling out random stuff. I looked over to his direction and realized he was talking to me when he waved and yelled, "HEYYYY KITTY." (Which, kitty? Really?) Then he started rambling off lines like, "You don't remember me but I remember you," and some more lines involving the word kitty. After he realized I was ignoring him, he commented, "Awwww, I see how it is, she ignoring me!"

When I got into my car I couldn't help but wonder... WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS?! I can't imagine a time when this would actually work, except for maybe if the dude in question was someone like... Ryan Reynolds. But in reality, I don't see it working.

Please enlighten me. Also, I guess this can apply to all sexes and other similar situations.

was he black?

1/13/2011 8:01:49 PM

Nope, white... and dirty

1/13/2011 8:03:06 PM

Why don't you ask the dumbass doing it instead of a bunch of random people who happen to have cocks? I mean, do you think my cock magically connects me to this douchebag's brain?

I've never understood threads of this type.

1/13/2011 8:03:32 PM

probably was drunk

1/13/2011 8:03:54 PM

^2 I'm not trying to say every male does this, I have just never understood it and would like some insight. And when I'm downtown by myself at dusk, there's no way in hell I'm going to stop and have a chat with some sketchy dude about this.

^ Looked like he was leaving work, and was driving, so I hope not

Woman will flash their tits on camera for agirls gone wild tee shirt. I have a feeling that "hollering" has, in fact, gotten a man laid.

1/13/2011 8:05:37 PM

U probably had some sort of interaction you don't recall or he has mistaken you for someone else

Your cool and all but this thread is dumb

I'm not saying you're saying every male does this. I'm saying the fact that one male did it doesn't mean all males will understand that one male's behavior. His actions were nonsensical in my opinion. At best he came across as a very dangerous person you should stay the fuck away from. Perhaps that was the goal.

1/13/2011 8:07:13 PM

He is right - could be a freak with a bunch of knives.

1/13/2011 8:08:05 PM

I, too, recently had an old, dirty man hit on me. But he was classy about it at least.

You never know son.

Btw, are you really that jealous of the fact that I'm man enough to own knives? Grow a pair son.

Seeing as I haven't lived here long, and I have never seen this man in my life, I'm going to go with no.

1/13/2011 8:10:39 PM

And old men hit on everybody come on now it's nothin special

We've all seen the old backs hangin out in front of the store

1/13/2011 8:10:44 PM

i, too, would like to understandfor this creepy shit to cease and desist

1/13/2011 8:13:27 PM

I disowned a certain son posting in this thread.

1/13/2011 8:14:23 PM

now is not the time, son

1/13/2011 8:15:47 PM

Some guys cast a VERY wide net? I got nothing.

1/13/2011 8:20:04 PM

why not, he's an old man, his days of spitting game are over

probably just amusing himself being annoying

or he was drunk

1/13/2011 8:22:23 PM

If you look young the mack is gonna say something

1/13/2011 8:22:38 PM

PMs are more effective

1/13/2011 8:22:56 PM

I have been around guys that do this.

Typical beating the chest bullshit.

^2 So if other guys see it's silly and there's no point, why do the other men still do it? Are they just that clueless? The male mind baffles me.

1/13/2011 8:29:06 PM

why do bitches spend $200 on a pair of shoes they're going to wear once?

1/13/2011 8:33:01 PM

he was just tryin to let you know that he thought you were hot.

1/13/2011 8:36:20 PM

I cant speak for other creepy old men. But I just send bitches smiley faces. Young bitches love smiley faces.

If other guys see it's silly and there's no point, THEN OBVIOUSLY THE "MALE MIND" ISN'T THE PROBLEM HERE.

1/13/2011 8:42:00 PM

Obviously it's a factor if many are still doing it >_>

I would like to hear a success story from this method

1/13/2011 8:44:41 PM

Or it has nothing to do with the "male mind" and has everything to do with their cultural programming....

[Edited on January 13, 2011 at 8:46 PM. Reason : Basically you need to get your ass back into the kitchen where the female mind belongs.]

1/13/2011 8:45:37 PM

And what cultural programming would that be? It's not like this only happens in certain settings or in certain regions of the country.. Unless you're talking about maybe their familial culture and they were raised to yell at women?

Pretty much. Dude has nothing to lose, why not holla?

I thought women ate compliments like chocolate and I've always been one to indulge.

Men do it because at some point somewhere it worked and a guy witnessed it. So if it works once out of 100 times. It's worth it.

1/13/2011 8:50:39 PM

Makes him feel young maybe? Or maybe some chick has given him attention at one point doing that..

1/13/2011 8:51:49 PM

He witnessed it alright, on fucking television and in movies. He witnessed his friends doing it in real life, failing miserably, but looking "cool" due to the previous movie/TV bullshit. Rinse. Repeat.

hitting on women on the street has a 90% success rate





that old dude can't help it that you're a prude

1/13/2011 8:57:44 PM

I probably did look like a prude with my long coat and girly audiobook

Just like I can't speak for all men, you can't speak for all women. Some girls liked getting hollared at because it boosts their ego or something.

Men hollar because sometimes it works. This time it didn't.

1/13/2011 9:01:07 PM

But I want to know of a situation when this would actually work... Have any of you actually had success with yelling at some random girl on the street?

1/13/2011 9:03:08 PM

I knew a guy who kept a bunch of plastic spoons in his car.

He'd pull up next to a girl walking and start hollering. When she turned him down, he'd throw a spoon at her and say, "If it's that good you can eat it yourself!".

1/13/2011 9:03:50 PM

i got flashed once, if that's what you're asking.

1/13/2011 9:04:25 PM

Oh shit. I'm going to put a box of plastic spoons in my jeep.

1/13/2011 9:06:40 PM

1/13/2011 9:07:27 PM

^4 Hahahaha

^3 I guess that counts as successful I didn't really think of it from a flashing standpoint
