How often do men get catcalled?

dukunt · 2021-06-30T16:25:43+00:00

Probably once or twice a year. Same as an unattractive woman.

Blutarg · 2021-06-30T16:54:30+00:00

I have never been. No woman has ever--ever--expressed lustful sentiment toward me. Aren't I lucky.

snooeydooe · 2021-06-30T19:16:47+00:00

It happens. Get a group of women together in a bar or office setting, anywhere they have numbers, and let a nice looking guy walk by and watch.

Women aren't afraid to drop hints or go after something they want.

I’m a bodybuilder, but fairly frequently in pretty normal places. Probably have an instance about 1/3 of the times I go out in a public area either. Some are pretty gentle, others are pretty fucking sexually aggressive. Most unfortunately, almost all are from relatively older women.

The only time it's ever happened to me, I was walking down the street with my girlfriend, on our way to get some food. Three girls in a jeep pulled up to the stop light at the intersection we were about to cross, and one of them stood up out the sun roof. She yell-asked me "are you two dating?" I said yes, and she pulled up her shirt and flashed me her bra, while calling my girlfriend a bitch. I gave my best yuck face and we kept walking without giving her any attention. Getting so mad thinking about this. Fuck you jeep whore

Happens to my nephew all the time.

kanniget · 2021-07-01T03:51:49+00:00

I have and I am as ugly as a hat full of arseholes.

They were drunk and hanging out of a car driving past while I was waiting for the light to cross..

I was disoriented but I won't lie, it boosted my ego for a while but I can understand why most women hate it

justintimehm · 2021-06-30T17:03:25+00:00

I used to get cat called when i was single and go to the bars from ages 21 - 23 (I’m currently 33). Majority of the women were a little older and drunk or buzzed. Women that were my age didn’t do it as much, but still did it.

YoDaSavageDraws · 2021-06-30T18:46:35+00:00

They have to be on the top I'd say 15% of men, and they barely do

excess_inquisitivity · 2021-06-30T21:45:23+00:00

How often are men called to move the heavy thing?

CyberoEXE · 2021-07-01T08:59:26+00:00

I worked at a convenient store when I was 18 (I'm 24 years old now). The line was pretty big and I was focusing on ringing out the customers. I saw a girl (maybe 20) walk close to me and I couldn't help but think she was starring at me. She was with friends but she randomly left her group of friends and started inching my way. As you can imagine, I was behind the counter. She came about 5 yards away from me, starred me down, turned around and said "They always look better from far away. It's always the same". I saw her and her friends laughing. I'm 24 now and know that I'm not a damn model but I am confident enough to say that I'm decent looking. But that day, the hypocrisy became obvious. The internet would be in FLAMES if a girl went through something like that. I'm not bothered, my self-respect is worth more than such a lame comment.

I dont know if this is considering cat-calling but it was certainly unwanted on my end and quite rude.

Reddit1984Censorship · 2021-06-30T16:20:03+00:00

The question is how often do men get emotionally harrased on the stree or while doing grociers and stuff i think thats the catcallign equivalent issue for men.

TrumpTruther · 2021-06-30T17:50:44+00:00

Cat called? Pretty much never. Women tend to be a bit more introverted with that type of stuff. I have had some pretty uncomfortable situations with middle aged women though. Seems like they stop caring at a certain age.

RubMobile2126 · 2021-06-30T19:14:11+00:00

It's never happened to me.

Protektor35 · 2021-06-30T21:03:32+00:00

I've been cat called a lot when I was younger and in college. Even had women grab my ass and crotch before as well. So men get harassed same as women.

Theraria · 2021-06-30T16:54:39+00:00

Catcalled, if I have, I didn't know it was for me.

Comments? Once in a bar. I was sat on a low stool in the top end of the bar (quiet end) and a girl tried flirting with me with the lines. "I think you're really handsome btw, like cute, like you look like Tyrion lannister..." Paused for a moment. "I don't mean to offend, I mean... I think he's hot." She blushed, I then thought it only proper to stand up as the stool made me about 4' tall... I'm 6'4" without shoes... She followed me up, and finished with "oooh, oh my erm..." And left xD

At least I know I'd be an attractive midget xD

Outside of that though I don't even notice of women look at me and get more calls out of cars to get a hair cut than second glances. Shrugs married though so eh. Would be nice to get a second glance but not something that bothers me to much.

[Edit for autocorrect...]

baldestpianoman · 2021-06-30T18:13:00+00:00

Never in my life I have never catcalled women never give a damn about me

Revolutionary-Key778 · 2021-06-30T16:20:32+00:00

All the time 😅

LastRounder · 2021-06-30T17:36:41+00:00

What is catcalling? (Non-english person here).

AG_N · 2021-06-30T19:12:35+00:00

Not much

I think the reason women say they are more afraid because they get catcalled more often which often sounds like a threat

Even though men are mostly the victim but that could be the reason

Xx24reminder · 2021-06-30T19:19:38+00:00

Lots. Why?

DIES-_-IRAE · 2021-06-30T19:34:26+00:00

Not at all.

themainingredient420 · 2021-06-30T23:10:45+00:00

woman probably late 40s was shooting spit wads at me, winked at me and told me I’d make good practice when I was at a local bar / restaurant last week. Does that count?

Hiplo_0 · 2021-07-01T00:03:19+00:00

Hardly ever, but when it happens it's usually done by older women and not very aggressively, more like a strange complement.

Fean2616 · 2021-07-01T01:10:08+00:00

Few times a year?

dmann27 · 2021-07-01T02:58:46+00:00

Me? Never. And I think I'm even in the more attractive side, just the less confident side I guess

Aiwass_the_voice · 2021-07-01T05:13:20+00:00

Nah, I usually don't go out. Only to buy certain things it groceries and I keep my distance from people. Don't like getting physical much. That's why I don't like crowded spaces as well.

I am not too handsome or smth as well. Pretty normal. I mostly keep this blank, "I don't have enough f**k to give" look on my face and that's enough to weird few people out.

In school? Not really. Few girls who wanted to copy my homework called me but I said no and that's it.

I don't register comments because none are made. At least to my knowledge.

damster05 · 2021-07-01T16:20:48+00:00

Probably depends a lot on region in the world.

randomJan1 · 2021-07-01T16:55:58+00:00

Not very often only when i wore a dress as a joke once i got catcalled a lot by women

Yucares · 2021-07-02T00:06:04+00:00

By a gay man on FB once and by my own grandma a few times.

xguy18 · 2021-07-02T00:22:01+00:00

This actually reminds me of a YouTuber who did a social experiment video of this, (no homo) but this guy is a good looking Italian, groomed well, dressed average though, he decided to spend a few hours just walking around New York City and in the video he was cat called probably a dozen times, even some random teenage girl approaching him to get his number for her friend,

Almost rarely simply because women are afraid of random men, but if a guy is really good looking such as well groomed, in shape, dress nicely, and looks like he takes care of himself or has good money, then he’s definitely getting catcalled every now and then.

Me personally I don’t get catcalled but get talked about often, which surely can be a whole lot less scary and concerning compared to a woman getting catcalled by a strange man,

ZS_1171 · 2021-07-04T04:52:30+00:00

I've literally never been catcalled before. I've only ever been complimented once by a woman in my age group, but i was too young at the time to know what it meant.

jfdjjdejbd · 2021-07-04T05:16:38+00:00

Idk, I mostly only go out to walk my dog and dont see too many people, and im ugly

CocoaBikerDaddy · 2021-07-09T09:46:06+00:00

I think the equivalent to us getting catcalled is the nasty older women who make really inappropriate comments and eye rape you. You know what I'm talking about. The kind of interaction that while in the situation you kind of laughed it off as she's just an innocent lady but later you have to take an ice cold shower because it was violating.

imjusthereforresearc · 2021-06-30T17:11:52+00:00

When I was practicing doing very visible things in public, quite often.

Usually around once or twice an hour.

That is just women catcalling. Not including people in general being annoying.

Starmind0 · 2021-07-01T07:14:42+00:00

Literally more than people think, men are just silent about it due to the expected reactions.
