Average young guy + his mates + alcohol = Bunch of mindless idiots

There's no need to take it personally, ShadesOfMe. There is no real meaning in what they said. They were just showing off in front of each other, boasting of how inconsiderate and uncaring of others they are. They said what was needed to upset a young girl. If you'd been an older man, they'd have still found something else to shout at you.

I expect they choose younger girls because they are easy targets, adult women might look more likely to shout back and not be as scared, it is not about fancying them it is about intimidating them and showing a macho display.

He said "are you sure you don't need a ride...I can take you anywhere you need to go." and he looked me up and down. It was really scary. I would never get into a car with a strange man, especially if he looked at me like that. I really don't think a trip in his car was the ride he wanted.

Basically it is Spanish slang for a cute chick. Check out the following link....

1. Women do it too
2. The fact they are womne does not make it good
3. Having male genitalia does not mean i have the same mind as others with the same gentalia therefore I can not know why those that do it do it. I only know my mind


To be fair, men do it a lot more often than women, and they also tend to have more natural strength than women and therefore an advantage in a physical struggle. I agree that sexual harrassment at the hands of women exists and is no better than sexual harrassment at the hands of men, but that doesn't change the fact that women are more often victims than men. The fact is, most men and women aren't as obnoxious as the ones in the OP's story. I firmly belive men and women are basically equal, but there are annoying things that are semi-unique to each gender, and by semi-unique I mean they are things that are more likely to occur in one gender than another. Sexual harrassment is more commonly a male behavior, and I also believe women are more likely to be oppressed and degraded by men than the other way around. I(Although it is important to acknowledge that men can be victimized as well, even though they are dominant in most cultures).

i know its stupid, the person is hurt and people can think of is to make a political point "oh women do it too". Its a lot less intimidating when women are bawdy to men, because they are not as strong or likely to assault.


Not to take away from the seriousness of the issue but as an Aspie male, I'd be quite happy for women to give me some of that attention - I think?

Generally it is done to prove to the other men around them that they are not gay.

I've only just joined this site today and this is the first discussion topic i have read........... Is it just me being a very hard arsed individual or are the lot of you somehow more sensitive than my Aspergers will allow, because all i want to say to the young lady out there is "Why do you give a f***k?" I know you're young but life is full of poo and sometimes you'll step in it!! ! Get over it and them. As for all the sensitive men replying............. Yeah whatever, we all have an opinion why men act like idiots but then again opinions are like belly buttons...... We all have one but they don't hold much water!! !!

I think i'll like this site :D

That's true, what some twat thinks shouldn't be taken to heart but a lot of women are very sensitive about their looks.

Yeah I find it annoying as well and the whistling and yelling doesn't always come from men who find you attractive.

But Snazzlestick, wouldn't that mean that the problem is with the women.......... not the men? It just gets my goat sometimes when some women blame men for their own insecurities! Lifes hard, people can be horrid, but we can be content with acceptance of the way things are.

Not really because men are not judged on looks as much as women. However the problem isn't with any specific gender, it's with people being c***s to other people.
