Hate crime, no. Fucking annoying, sometimes a bit intimidating and should have died a death along with Benny Hill, yes.

It's not a hate crime, but it's a bit old fashioned and sexist. I get that more often than not the whistler is trying to be complimentary, but unwanted attention is still unwanted attention. No-one should be made to feel uncomfortable by another person.

It's a compliment, I work in construction there is a woman who runs past the site nearly everyday and gets whistled she smiles and enjoys it or she would choose another route. Shouting out things is different and misogynist.

I'm not uptight but I don't like it. I'm just not so desperate for attention that I'd be flattered by being whistled at like a dog by some random stranger.

Huh? How can you show affection for a complete stranger from afar? Surely its a show of attraction?

It was on the news a while back and a big thread about it on here.

I (Mr) would say apply common sense.

i.e If I was driving and a group of women were walking along for a night out dressed up, skimpy outfits, killer heels, I would give an appreciative bip of the car horn. That's just fun.

Same situation, but an attractive woman jogging in lycra shorts and crop top, looking equally sexy, then I wouldn't do it, as that could make her feel vulnerable, and that situation is wrong.

So, for me, keep it sensible and fun, engage brain first.

It's a form of harassment and intimidation and incredibly crass and utterly twattish behaviour. It's not a hate crime though.

Wanted and desired by those they want/desire. I really don't see how some beer bellied builder puffing on a cigarette and shouting 'nice tits caramel' with a wolf whistle is going to boost my confidence. It's a display not real appreciation.

Believe it or not, not every woman needs to be "validated" by having unsolicited attention drawn to her by strangers in public.

It's harmless from your point of _iew. When I'm minding my own business and trying to get shit done, I don't want someone whistling at me. It is more often than not accompanied by words or laughs and nudges from their friends.

For me, I put pictures up to attract people to my profile because I do want to meet people. I'm inviting the attention to the photos. I'm not inviting attention by just existing, walking down the street so it's unwanted then.

Regardless of the rights or wrongs, I'd be less concerned about the sensibilities of anyone born with the good fortune of a beautiful body or face but who then chooses to be offended by an attempted compliment than I would about the feeling encountered by anyone who never gets to experience receiving an appreciative gesture from a stranger.....

Huge difference. I'm on here to meet people to have sex with. An attraction is required for the sex bit.

I don't have pics like this on Facebook or anywhere else, because I don't need other people to validate my appearance.

I don't need my appearance to be validated by some bloke in the street.

I don't have a beautiful body or face. I have big tits, a big arse and a small waist - that's why I get them.

yes it made me smile, no I didn't feel violated in any way, shape or form...

Please do. Taking into account the sexual harassment I deal with that accompanies wolf whistles on a frequent basis, I'm going to go with not being grateful for them... (if I add an emoji does that make it less passive aggressive?)

That's okay for you, but we don't know what's going on in each individuals life. For all we know, they could be a rape survivor. For all we know, they could be severely agoraphobic and it could have taken all their courage to leave the house. For all we know, they could be on their way to collect a loved ones ashes.

None of us know what is going on in a stranger's life, and we don't have the right to impose our _iews on them.

"I never said one was better than the other,,,,, I said I would be less concerted about the precious sensibilities of someone who chooses to be offended than someone who lives a life never having received spontaneous adoration...

Of course you'd consider them 'precious sensibilities' because you've never been on the receiving end as a woman and dealt with the sexual harassment. Spontaneous adoration is an amusing way of putting it though.

I don't have a beautiful body or face. I have big tits, a big arse and a small waist - that's why I get them.

I don't see why because I do I should be content because it's better than not getting any wolf whistles?

Apparently you're meant to be grateful

Well taking all into account .....I'm going to settle for believing giving a wolf whistle or overreacting to receiving one are equally as clumsy ......

You have every right not to be grateful if that is how you feel....

I don't think saying you think it's pretty lame when directly asked equates to "overreacting". Or my usual response of telling them to fuck off, or just rolling my eyes depending on how combative I'm feeling.

It's also amazing how many of those men making a genuine compliment and expression of attraction and admiration turn out to think I'm a fat bitch when told to fuck off.

"It's a sign of affection

Huh? How can you show affection for a complete stranger from afar? Surely its a show of attraction?

It's not even that. It's a pathetic need to display their "manliness" to all and sundry born from a misguided belief that the object of their attention will give a shit what they think. Believe it or not women like to feel wanted and desired it boosts there confidence. You yourself might not feel the need yourself but you don't speak for all women.

Likewise, you don't speak for all men. OK white knight I wasn't trying to you. "

"Opinions on this?? It's a compliment, I work in construction there is a woman who runs past the site nearly everyday and gets whistled she smiles and enjoys it or she would choose another route. Shouting out things is different and misogynist."

Why should she have to alter her route? Maybe her smile is a grimace and she's just refusing to be intimidated by a bunch of guys who have the emotional and mental maturity of a breeze block.

yeah because I think most women understand it's just a compliment. Obviously some are getting offended or intimidated so I have to say pretty harmless. I personally think it is completely harmless.

This is the modern world, woman walks past the building site hears a wolf whistle, assumes it's for her and has some reaction somewhere on the scale of pleasure to anger...

Builder high on the scaffolding, didn't see the woman but gave the fit guy in lycra cycling past an appreciative wolf whistle...

No, it is not a hate crime, bit dated, bit foolish, very impersonal, but not worthy of banning.

As plenty of women have pointed out (you've just chosen to ignore them) there is a world of difference between seeking attention on here where people are specifically inviting attention to themselves and their profiles, and wanting attention when just going about your daily business in the real world. They are not the same thing at all.

Getting attention on a website where you're looking for sex is entirely different to walking down the road minding your own business.

Read the words. You're making out like just because you're not getting punched, it's therefore ok. I'm just extrapolating that to make the same argument about being punched. Just because something else is "worse" doesn't mean you have to like it. Was that simple enough?

no. its a site where people communicate about all sorts of things to find out if they would like to meet to see if they get on, socially, sexual activity is totally optional. swingers and this is a swingers site is equally about social encounters and mixing with like minded folk..sexual activity, is a physical expression that if desired by all parties might take place...seeing this place as a sex site often leads to disappointment because so many think that sex is the only goal of everyone here. same as there is a difference between a sex club and a swingers club...too many people dont know the difference and expect the sex rather than understanding swinging as a scene..

The police forces that are taking action on street harassment are having to put harassment under the banner of hate crime, because that's how our legislation works.

That doesn't mean that it is as severe as other forms of hate crime, but it is a mild form of harassment, and therefore comes from a place of the disrespect of women. If the men that do it respected women then they wouldn't wolf whistle them.

i.e If I was driving and a group of women were walking along for a night out dressed up, skimpy outfits, killer heels, I would give an appreciative bip of the car horn. That's just fun.

This is a lose lose situation, apart from the fact that the Wolf whistle was actually for the guy cycling past in tight lycra.

Women put on bras that push there tits up and out, wear a top the exposes 80% of cleavage, then 50% will be pissed off you looked at their tits, and 50% will be pissed off that you looked them in the eye... best bit is they won't tell you which 50% they are in, and the rules change for the bloke stood next to you.

For a while the building at the end of my road was having work done on it in the summer.

There are two ends to my road. When I walk to the gym I can walk out of either. One adds about five-ten minutes to the end of my journey.

The building at the end of my road was on the quick way to the gym. There was scaffolding and builders working on it. I walked past there five mornings out of seven to go to the gym. One of the men started wolf-whistling at me.

It made me uncomfortable. I don't like it. I don't want people to do that to me in the street.

I suppose what I could have done was go the way to the gym that takes me longer to walk. But I didn't, instead I put more clothes on. Instead of walking to the spin classes in the summer in lycra leggings or cycling bib shorts, I started wearing thick jogging bottoms and a hoodie over it.

He was persistent. It seemed my 10am class every day coincided with his coffee break. He kept wolf whistling even though I had put shapeless, thick clothes on.

I could have gone the other way. And added ten minutes to my journey one way and then ten minutes back.

But I decided - fuck it. And I phoned the building company. And they were very interested in what I had to say. The next day he wasn't there. In fact he wasn't on that site ever again. And I could go back to wearing what I wanted without being harassed in the street because of the way I looked, wearing practical clothing.

I won't lie, I hope he got sacked. Because I shouldn't have to change my clothes or lose twenty minutes out of my day because someone is unable to control their dick.

"The police forces that are taking action on street harassment are having to put harassment under the banner of hate crime, because that's how our legislation works.

If a group of women were whistling at a fit guy ?

Or is that OK?

No, I don't think it is. "
do you honestly think a guy walking g I to a police station reporting a chick Wolf whistling at him would be taken seriously?

I think not

Total double standards

We have all seen groups of females out on the lash whistling and shouting at guys..ffs it happens

Its a whistle!!!

"It's a sign of affection

Huh? How can you show affection for a complete stranger from afar? Surely its a show of attraction?

It's not even that. It's a pathetic need to display their "manliness" to all and sundry born from a misguided belief that the object of their attention will give a shit what they think. Believe it or not women like to feel wanted and desired it boosts there confidence. You yourself might not feel the need yourself but you don't speak for all women.

**some** women like to feel wanted...

This is a sex site? A tiny proportion of the population are on it... its a swingers site..not a sex site...check the differences...

It is a site where people seek sex with others, no? no. its a site where people communicate about all sorts of things to find out if they would like to meet to see if they get on, socially, sexual activity is totally optional. swingers and this is a swingers site is equally about social encounters and mixing with like minded folk..sexual activity, is a physical expression that if desired by all parties might take place...seeing this place as a sex site often leads to disappointment because so many think that sex is the only goal of everyone here. same as there is a difference between a sex club and a swingers club...too many people dont know the difference and expect the sex rather than understanding swinging as a scene.."

Here endeth the first lesson! Seriously, I stand corrected and appreciate your explanation

Have not done that since early 20s but some ladies enjoyed it with a cheecky smile. But some took embarrassed offence. Never with offence intended but appreciation for a sext looking woman but would much rather say it with a smile and save any womans embarrassment.

But hate crime contradictive and OTT.

Based on this thread do you think a "chick" walking into a police station to report someone wolf whistling would be taken seriously either?

Why should she have to alter her route? Maybe her smile is a grimace and she's just refusing to be intimidated by a bunch of guys who have the emotional and mental maturity of a breeze block. I never said she should alter her route but I imagine if she found it so intimidating or offensive she would. She seems pretty happy to me. Surprising seeing some responses because a lot of women try to get as much attention as possible on here.

For a while the building at the end of my road was having work done on it in the summer.

There are two ends to my road. When I walk to the gym I can walk out of either. One adds about five-ten minutes to the end of my journey.

It made me uncomfortable. I don't like it. I don't want people to do that to me in the street.

I (Mr) would say apply common sense.

i.e If I was driving and a group of women were walking along for a night out dressed up, skimpy outfits, killer heels, I would give an appreciative bip of the car horn. That's just fun.

Same situation, but an attractive woman jogging in lycra shorts and crop top, looking equally sexy, then I wouldn't do it, as that could make her feel vulnerable, and that situation is wrong.

So, for me, keep it sensible and fun, engage brain first."

Not really, it comes down to whether their actions make me feel uncomfortable. You can notice someone has boobs without ogling (or whistling).

But again - usual. Certainly when I was at school. Men touching your thigh on the bus to school was normal when I was a kid. Rubbing up a bit close to you on the train. Asking if you'd like to do something with them later.

*Shrug.*

Normal. My friends and I used to discuss it. We couldn't do anything about it.

The problem is that you can't do anything about it. I sometimes shout abuse back at them, but that often means that they'll get abusive back towards me. And they're bigger, proberbly faster, and they're the ones that are now wound up...

Maybe she doesn't realise that she can. Maybe she's too timid to complain. Maybe she's not a bolshy feminist bitch like me who thinks that people should behave appropriately in public. Maybe she thinks it's not worth your time.

I get that, to be clear, I don't agree with whistles, shouts, car horns or any other atiquated comments on a man or woman, but they happen. I have been told off for not noticing a woman was scantily dressed, and also been told off for noticing the same.

It's a big world, full of people who have no idea what happened to you over breakfast, life is much sweeter if you enjoy the things you enjoy, stop the things that harm you, and ignore minor annoyances...

Yeah she definitely isn't like you we have established that. You are saying most women but you don't know that they said about 50/ 50. I don't struggle I understand that feminists probably don't but not every woman is a feminist.
