One time I was taking a walk in a neighborhood while dressed "defensively," that is, in my husband's very baggy, cruddy-looking, too-big jeans and a big oversized sweatshirt with hot chocolate stains on it. My hair pretty much resembled an electrified rat's-nest. When walking in neighborhoods, I usually dress down in order to be of zero appeal to weirdos. I've always exercised in part to keep my girlish figure (!) and in part because the smartest, most successful people I know nearly all exercise regularly because it keeps their brains sharp and priorities straight.

ANYWAY, I walked past a contstruction site for a house and a couple of the carpenters gave me a big wolf whistle! MAN, I can't tell you how that made my day!!! I was so flattered ... I smiled and bashfully waved at them, and I think THAT made them feel good, too!

I'm still trim, but at my age .. don't solicit many wolf whistles anymore! And my hair STILL looks like an electrified rat's next most of the time!!! Like right now ...

Wolf-whistles are a product of neanderthal-male behavior which demeans the woman and places her in some sub-equality category.........dontchaknow. Didn't the wimmen’s lib movement teach you anything? /s

It’s now been rumored that “the workers” in typical male fashion, continued taunting the woman . . .

“Can we touch them?”

"I'm Still a Guy" -- Brad Paisley

When you see a deer you see Bambi
And I see antlers up on the wall
When you see a lake you think picnics
And I see a large mouth up under that log
You're probably thinking that you're going to change me
In some ways well maybe you might
Scrub me down, dress me up oh but no matter what
remember I'm still a guy

When you see a priceless French painting
I see a drunk, naked girl
You think that riding a wild bull sounds crazy
And I'd like to give it a whirl
Well love makes a man do some things he ain't proud of
And in a weak moment I might walk your sissy dog, hold your purse at the mall
But remember, I'm still a guy

I'll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by

I can hear you now talking to your friends
Saying, "Yeah girls he's come a long way"
From dragging his knuckles and carrying a club
And building a fire in a cave
But when you say a backrub means only a backrub
Then you swat my hand when I try
Well, now what can I say at the end of the day
Honey, I'm still a guy

And I'll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around knock some jerk to the ground
'Cause he copped a feel as you walked by

These days there's dudes getting facials
Manicured, waxed and botoxed
With deep spray-on tans and creamy lotiony hands
You can't grip a tacklebox

Yeah with all of these men lining up to get neutered
It's hip now to be feminized
I don't highlight my hair
I've still got a pair
Yeah honey, I'm still a guy

Oh my eyebrows ain't plucked
There's a gun in my truck
Oh thank God, I'm still a guy

LOL!!!

I’m telling you, Finny, you can’t fool those construction workers. They know, and I don’t know how, maybe it is a sixth sense thing, good looks even hiding it as you tried to do.

It’s more a reflection on the whistle-er than the whistle-ee (after years of viewing batchit crazy guys or 99 year old geezers whistling at anything that even remotely looks female). ;)

You know, I've given it a lot of thought. Sometimes I think the guys aren't so much whistling at good looks as they are at things that confirm their own happy outlook. It was a gorgeous day, they were working outside with the wide-open skies over their heads, there was everything to be cheerful about. Nobody with sense could be morose on such a day; and maybe there was a bounce in my step or something. I'm not tall and willowy (those kinds of women can't hide their shapeliness!), I'm petite and believe me, I looked dumpy. But I didn't feel dumpy in my heart. Maybe those wonderful construction guys sensed that I was as delighted with the day and life-in-general as they were, and they were just whistling out of sheer "happy to be here, ain't life cool!" abandon. In any case, it sure made me feel like they thought I was nice looking and I couldn't fool them by trying to hide it! That's the way I like to THINK it went down!!!

You mean that there are still men who dare to whistle at women, and get away with it?
When I talk to my secretary I address her with “ma’am” and when she, or any woman, is in my office I leave the door open, wide, wide open.
