tl;dw: chick calls in beta as fuck bf to validate her feelings of oppreshiun after being catcalled in New York (with no meaningful threats or attempts at violence)

Meanwhile men are still overwhelmingly targets of violence and literally no one gives a fuck if a man is insulted.

Conclusion: cry me a river bitch, try Joe Average's life like that chick did once and see if you don't try to off yourself too.

Catcalling is offensive to women because the type of men who catcall at girls on streets are usually low caliber men.

When a low caliber man hits on a woman, it is offensive to her, because he is essentially saying, "I think you're in my league." Women who do not think you're in their league are very offended by this. You can see their reaction to this when an unattractive man walks up to a girl at a bar and tries to talk to her.

Catcalling is like that, just on a lesser scale since it's more of an indirect form of hitting on a girl. It's not really even hitting on a girl. It's more like saying, "Hey, I noticed you're a girl! I'm checking you out!" But women are offended when unattractive guys check them out. Just try being short and fat and staring at a girl's chest and see how she reacts. Then try being buff and hot and grabbing her chest and see how she reacts.

But when women say, "Catcalling makes me feel offended because those low caliber, brown-skinned construction workers and lowlifes are beneath me," that sounds bad. So instead, they say, "Catcalling objectifies women! And we get afraid that they're going to rape us!"

[–]KarYotypeStereotype10 points11 points12 points 10 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link

I don't think it's a logical thing. I think they're just instinctively repulsed by low status men. That's why they oppose cat calling and use words like creepy. They are repulsed and afraid because that's their biology.

Edit: what I mean is that she's not thinking "this guy thinks I'm in his league, how offensive." She's just feeling negative feelings. That's as far as that goes. Discomfort, and nothing more. Can't blame her, as she's designed to feel that way. (But legislating based on her discomfort is lunacy, of course.)

Exactly get some celebrity guy out there cat calling and it would be the opposite reaction.

[–]thebillstone 9 points10 points11 points 10 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

I wonder if hypergamy plays into it. Women know that wealthy men don't hit on women in the street, but in bars and clubs where they have to buy things. Lower socio-economic men use the street because they can't afford to splurge hundreds of dollars on drinks and club entries every month. That could explain why it's virtually all poor urban black men hitting on these women.

A anti-street harassment law would bar one of the main avenues poor men use to find mates in the interest of hypergamous women.

A bar, club, coffee shop, and most places are no safer than a busy public street in broad daylight. A man who would rape, assault, or murder a woman on a busy public street in broad daylight would not be deterred in any of those other settings.

[–]TRP VanguardArchwinger12 points13 points14 points 10 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Women will roll up their windows and freak out if a scrawny, 60+ year old bum in poor health approaches their car looking for loose change. My four-year-old could probably kick the ass of two or three of those guys.

Ted Bundy wore slacks and a dress shirt and was cute enough that you'd probably let him talk to you in a bar or help him out if he stopped you on the street to ask for directions.

[–]Derbi50 6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I donno man, combine old man strength with bum strength, its entirely possible they fuck you up.

Seriously some of those bums are tough as old tree stumps. They wouldn't have survived umpteen overdoses and half a dozen bum bashings if they weren't made of boiled leather.

I'm far too nice to be living in such a big city. I'm the naive idiot who makes eye contact.

I bought coffee twice for the same guy who spends his days asking people for coffee. Sonofabeetch.

[–]Overzealous_BlackGuy-1 points0 points1 point 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I still can not grasp the idea of trying to talk to women who are walking away from you. I think it comes down to it being more of a sport, and that's it. Anytime I've done this, I've had no intention of following up. More likely than not I'm just acting out. If an anti-street harrasment law was enforced. I don't think it would change much, half those people aren't on the streets to meet women. Their just living in the moment, killing time.

The more nervous a girl looks the more shit we say, but the only time i've done this is when I'm taking PT through the city. If I'm in my whip, I'm not paying a single pedestrian any mind. I think we'll be okay.

[–]truthiesttruth-3 points-2 points-1 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Could you imagine if every 160lb+ revolting landwhale said "O M G What a hottie!!", or some other stupid bullshit, everytime they saw you?

It would get annoying as fuck pretty fast. I try my best to pretend these women dont exist at all and they would be trying their best to prove otherwise by speaking to me and trying to get me to acknowledge their existence.

Then try being buff and hot and grabbing her chest and see how she reacts.

This is completely true, you pretty much get free reign over single womens bodies if you are attractive, I love slapping tits

I agree, they are free to seek my attention, but I am also free to completely ignore them. I am not advocating that they should change their behavior, I am just saying that I could imagine their behavior being annoying.

I would advise anyone planning on being a

rapist, murderer, or will commit some other act of violence against her

Don't catcall her and draw attention to yourself. It would really let her get that ASD and LMR up and you might just screw yourself out of a sure thing. Right before you smash the back of her head and make her go unconscious just whisper real quiet like "Hey bby U wnt some FUK?"

I have no opinion, because Cosmo is fucking stupid.

They also have no credibility with me whatsoever. They are agenda driven and everytime one of these idiotic videos come out, they turn out to be staged.

What a fucking cuck. If your girlfriend puts on an ass parade for the men of New York and men react who's at fault? If you cant see the obvious fact that she likes the attention and validation and get angry at the men, then you are bluepill as fuck.

[–]Obsequiae 3 points3 points3 points 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Absolutely. Such 'examples' as demonstrated in the video are however (albeit unfortunately) likely more common than not.

The wonderful irony resides in the fact that, as a man, I have been 'cat-called' (and more (it's usually more) - been flat-out propositioned, had a mother offer me her daughter, plenty of touching from strangers when talking) in public many times, yet if I even so what as bring it up it's nothing more than a "man, you lucky" from a man and "no waaaaaaayyy...." from a woman.

Double standard.

Quality humble brag there, sir.

[–]Obsequiae0 points 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Of course. It nonetheless serves to prove my point. Why attempt to play things down when it will only soften the point one is trying to make.

[–]Squeezymypenisy0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I would ignore any catcalling. Unless they actively threaten her there is no reason to respond.

[–]TheSKSpecial6 points7 points8 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Bragplaining.

"I'm so attractive that men just HAVE to speak to me on the street, poor me..."

To answer TC's question, the response isn't rational. If they were so afraid that a man would be a rapist, murderer, etc, they wouldn't respond to ANY time they were approached by a man, in ANY circumstance. Let Brad Pitt "catcall" them and they'd blow him on the sidewalk.

[–]ColdEiric2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

"I'm so attractive that men just HAVE to speak to me on the street, poor me..."

"One question, ma'am. Are you telling me and my penis that I ought to get hard when I look at you, despite the fact that you're not that attractive? Are you like a boring teacher who complains that we're not paying attention, when it's your job to make the subject fascinating, interesting, to highlight why your subject is valuable to me?"

Comments like that girl's makes me think of axioms such as 'attraction isn't a choice' and 'you can't negotiate desire'.

[–]NineInchPitchfork5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

There are already laws on the books (for harassment) which can be utilized for situations where cat calling progresses to following women, touching them or threatening them. A law restricting verbal actions only would have a tough time being judges as constitutional. Along with being a dumb idea.

I think this is mostly cuck fetish porn for feminists.

"Ha ha! Look! You can't defend your woman from catcalls! Why no go and beat them up and prove what a man you are! Oh, you got your arse kicked... god damn you're a pathetic male after all. "

Truly confident Alpha men have nothing to fear from women getting cat called. They can cat call her all they link but I'm the one fucking her. If you're secure in yourself, then you give no fucks about things like that.

[–]ECoast_Man3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Cucks, the whole lot of em.

And I love how blondie is so obviously just fucking ecstatic about the whole thing.

[–]Shortonoil 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I mean what do you expect from Cosmopolitan? They're trying to sell a product to gullible women. I remember I read this story about women who complained that in their teens they went to Italy all the guys were hitting on them, pinching their butts. They went back in their mid-thirties and were mad that none of them were doing that. So the principle here is, women of high sexual value only want high value attention. As women lose sexual value they will search for anything and get more pathetic and desperate then even beta men.

[–]TattedGuyser2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Ha, they'd never show the other side of the story. They should have turned on a hidden camera when the girls thought they were off and have some attractive men catcall them. Cosmo could have had quality footage of these women's hypergamy in action AND quality footage of hopefully these cucks dumping their innocent girlfriends right on camera.

[–]ThisShitRules1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

What the hell, most of those women were far from good looking.

[–]Alegretron1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Catcalling works... Especially if you are in a latin neighborhood where the girls know how to behave themselves...

[–]changshuaidiao1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

If those guys get their feelings hurt seeing their girlfriends getting catcalled by ugly guys, then they REALLY don't want to see the video of their girlfriends openly and shameless flirting with attractive guys.

[–]1commentatorX1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I bet they decided to ommit plenty of footage were the chick(s) couldn't help but be charmed by an approach. This is just click-bait junk-news.

[–]foldpak1110 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

To be honest, the only reason I get pissed off when guys hit on my girlfriend is not because I'm some mate guarding tool, but because they don't even know how to do it. The video was cringe worthy. They all reminded me of that precious motherfucker in LOTR.

[–]Metalaggeddon 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Disregard this.

They'll never show you the video of the guy with actual smooth game and value at the club they're grinding on during the girls night out. That guy whose value is so apparent they're the one catcalling him. (through iois, touching his flat chiseled chest, rubbing his back, grinding on him etc)

You're a street caller because you can't kill it with an intimate circumstance, or you can't cash the check your mouth has written. Alpha men do not need to do that. Girls do that to them. What the women are actually mad about is the fact that someone so incapable is doing this in public. It's insulting.

[–]GhostOfAladdin1 point 10 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Those dudes are giving them a lot of positive validation. I wonder if Chad T or Will Smith delivered the "you look nice" compliment...
