woman walking down the street

Why do men think they can say whatever they want to women when they walk down the street? What is the best way to handle unwelcome comments or catcalls? We have tried just about everything, from ignoring them which seems to make it worse, because usually they just get louder (and often cruder) to try to get your attention.

Take a look at what this woman goes through from the moment she steps out of her door:

    MAYBE IF ALL MEN WOULD STOP WITH ACTING LIKE THEY HAVENT SEEN A WOMEN B4 THEN WOMEN WOULD APPREIATE WHEN A GUY APPROCH THEM. IF ONE GIRL IS ATLEAST A 10 SHE WOULD GET 20 DUDES TRYIN TO HOLLA AT HER WITH IN ONE DAY. IF THE GURL IS A 5 THEN MAYBE 3 OR 4 A DAY. PLEAZ GROWN MEN ACT LIKE YOU GOT SOME SENCE THEN WOMEN WOULD RESPECT USE MORE. IF YOU A GROWN MEN PLEAZ GROWN THE F**K UP. YOU SEEN WOMEN ALL YOUR LIFE.

    I like the concept. Would have been better if it wasn’t scripted! maybe one of the beautiful BP ladies might make a real video showing the harassment they encounter on a daily…I think every dude thinks its just innocent play or having “fun” but it can’t be fun for the ladies if its happening all day long…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shamel_/ Shamel_

    That was a long ass stroll! I sure hope it isn’t a DAILY thing because that would be BRUTAL (lol)! However, I think most women can identify with her plight. Phatwoody_23, you are so right & I couldn’t agree with you more. Funny thing is I notice that men are more likely to approach women in these settings as opposed to in a club or more “populated” social venue such as sports bars, restaurants etc. However, this video was funny/true because God knows I be having some dialogue’s going on in this lil’ brain of mine when I don’t want to be bothered :) .

    Just keep ya head up and walk as if you have substance and cla.ss~ A man/boy knows who they can get away w/ talking that ignorant crap too.

    And for goodness sake don’t turn around when the call to you with a hoot, or using references that have to do w/ your body or what they wanna do to your body…
    I’m 5’9 def no where near a “shorty” so don’t be surprised when you get blown off if you use that to get my attention~ Like Big Boi said in Movin Cool at the end of the song, “hey hey shawty OOPS MY BAD YOU CORPRATE AMERICA”
    A man KNOWS who to & how to approach certain types of women.

    Then you got the ones who just don’t give a damn and will holla at anything in a skirt~ ANYTHING~

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Spongebobfiness09/ Spongebobfiness09

    yea it’s ridiculous, dudes act like they never seen a female before as if they’ve been deprived all their lives, let us walk down the street in peace, or at least be courteous when attempting to pass game

    Riiittteeee…
    this clip is such garbage,

    it reminds me of a forum a mad in bp news

    Women, why do you show cleavage or showcase your breast?

    and another equally important question, why do you get mad or upset when men stare at them?

    http://www.blackplanet.com/news/article_comments.html?news_item_id=3147395

    LOL brothers check out some of the answers of these women, made absolutley no sense whatsoever,

    my point is here is this chick, dolled up in tight jeans hugging her azz in her heels, and then expect dude not to stare or try to holla, if thats the case she needs to live in a part of town thats for faggits. i mean following her logic if she thinks she should be able to wear gold everything and walk into the hood and come out all intact, or better yet drench her self in honey and get mad when flys start buzzing around. Lets be real and all men who are not here tryna get cyber puzzy points will testify, we will all stare at a good looking woman, real men that is not faggits. some of us are more subtle while others will make the world know they looking but we all look. then it just depends next on what follows if your married and faithful you will look on or focus back on your wife, if your not faithful you will still take peeps and try to signal, and if your single you either make a move or just stare, its what men do.

    so imagine how i wasLOL when women were tellin me that we should look at their breast when they have em hanging out and broadcastin them,
    Go figure

    FROM NOW ON, NO MORE CAT CALLS FOR ME. WHENEVER I SEE A HOT SHORTY, I JUST MIND MY OWN BUSINESS….LOL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    If I see a lady, I wouldn’t cat call her…I would say “nice hair”! I wouldn’t say anything inappropriate, because they might not like it…..Ever if they weear sweat pants with hot on thier ass or have their cleavage out, I still say “nice hair”…works for me and not one lady got mad or gave me an attitude…….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/trisha_369/ trisha_369

    DAMN-WHY DIDN’T SHE JUST TAKE A BUS OR SOMETHING? HELL THAT-WALK MADED ME,TIRED-JUST FROM LOOKING AT THE VIDEO. LMAOS)AND WE AS LADIES KNOW WHAT TO WEAR TO MAKE THE MEN TURN,LOOK,AND HOLLA AT US. I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT,AS LONG AS HE IS NOT DISRESPECTFUL WITH IT NOR TRY TO FORCE HIS WAY UP,ON ME. I LIKE IT AND SOMETIME IT CAN BE A PAIN-I WILL GO SO FAR AS TO HOLLA BACK. THAT JUST ME-IM NOT GOING TO TURN MY NOSE UP-IF A MAN HOLLA NOR WILL I LET HIM IN MY PANTS-JUST BECAUSE IT SOUND GOOD. THIS IS JUST HOW I TAKE THINGS…IM NOT UP TIGHT NOR STUCK ON MYSELF-YOU RESPECT ME AND I WILL RESPECT YOU BUT-IF YOU COME AT ME,WRONG-IM COMING BACK AT YOU HARDER.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Da_J_Rok/ Da_J_Rok

    Well “In Person” the most important thing is “eye contact” that is the greatest factor in approaching a woman, u can get a sense of how approachable she is and whether is attracted in to you in return, a long stare down of course usually means “Green Light” That game right there is free to the lame-o’s… use at your discretion

    Now this internet thing is dumb… Alot and “I Mean ALOT” of females act like the internet is a “Nightclub” I mean are serious??? U outta be thankful u can “PRESCREEN” nigga’s and let them stick they own foot in they mouth in the manner of conversation, its one thing if u just not attracted which is completely understandable, but tactful communication helps you not only in shortform engagement, but overall perception of a persons character.

    And for the woman who either got a man or just dont wanna be bothered, keep ya eyes front in center and pick up da pace, and never ever look back and roll yo eyes, cause a busta is gonna insult u first chance he think u stuntin on him.

    Next time, imma charge a small fee, ya’ll have just read excerpts from “A Day In The Life Of A Playa” By: Mista Sweet Tongue Well Hung & Gott’em Sprung… Comin to store near YOU!!!

    U KNOW WHAT I NOTICED WITH SOME OF US WOMEN WE LOVE IT WHEN DUDES DO THAT TO US BUT WHEN THEY DONT WE GET UPSET AND WONDER WHY THEY DONT LOL I DONT KNOW IT DEPENDS DONT TAKE IT PERSONAL

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kennyd4/ kennyd4

    hard to believe she did’nt come across another female in that whole 1/5mile trip to a train,and like most black women she does’nt feel something bad is being said to her if she’s being spoken to by a niggah she diggs.i say to every black male just dont speak unless spoken to and lets see how far that’ll get you.just egnore muthafuchers like i do and it works like a charm(CAUSE LET THE SHOE BE ON THE OTHER FOOT AND DONT RESPOND WHEN A BLACK SPEAKS AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOSE)!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xXHunny-BunnyXx/ xXHunny-BunnyXx

    Im real grimey with mines…

    either I wrinkled up my face like ‘illck… are you serious’?

    or

    I said ‘beat it, dirty n*gga… you aint fit to take out my muthafukk’n garbage’

    Lol… usually that does the trick. LOL, never been disputed once!

    Think most black men need to realize that cat-call sh*t isnt cute, its extremely disrespectful. A white man would curse a n*gga OUT, if he heard a black dude talk to any white chick like that. Ive seen it done. One thing if a blk man, says something pleasant or sweet

    “Hello Miss’ … ‘Hi beautiful’ …’Pretty smile’ whatever

    BUT no.. I dont need to know youre ‘feeling my thickness in my jeans and is there room for YOU’. Ill ask ‘Do you talk to yo momma like that, then go home and tell her that sh*t… and see what you get’.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    @ SAIYANKING That’s WTF i’m talkin bout if you flaunt it niggas are gonna look and they gonna say somethin. Like of they dressed up all conservative and s**t we more than likely mite not even pay attention.

    @ Da_J_Rok eye contact is somewhat deceptive I have seen girls give me great eye contact and even a smile and let’s just say I could’ve done w/o the results.

    This video should’ve put in a group of woman so they coulda dogged her out and called her a s**t. Or let it be a white girl and then tempers start to flare. Why is he hollering at that white b!tch.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LastManStandingTall/ LastManStandingTall

    Why do you women dress to highlight your physical qualities, then get mad when men compliment you on them?

    It’s not the comments as much as it is the man who’s making the comments. If Denzel and L.L. makes those comments, you women would like it and tell your girls about it. Because it’s LeRon from the office or Dujuane’ on the street, it’s disrespectful. You even know how men are, but still you dress trampy to attract attention. Women are attention-whooahs. plain and simple.

    Ladies, I love you, but you are full of shyt on this one. By the way, I don’t want to hear from the 3 of you who will claim you get attention in a t-shirt and sweats. You’re the minority and too few to mention. The rest of you are straight-up lying…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SenorCafeDa2nd/ SenorCafeDa2nd

    Awwww bytch, take your IPOD with you next time you leaving the house with your tiddies all out and you dont want to be bothered. Attention w**ring but complaining about attention.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/misspink8/ misspink8

    its just dudes that have no respect for women. When u try so hard to get at a chick it just makes u look desperate lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Da_J_Rok/ Da_J_Rok

    Yeah Sub…. even I myself have been misled… But from a majority standpoint, I choose the side which is most successful, I mean we all know you cant win ‘em all, but its good to have a winning formula

    LMAO yall people crazy as hell lol…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missaribaby/ missaribaby

    um first and of all let me say this…. there is a big difference when a dude is standing in a group and yells out some dumb s**t…. when he can simply step away from the group and get the number or say what ever he has to say….

    but this video was dumb as hell what she think going to happen apparently she been looking like a rag muffin for a min and on this particular day she decides to come out looking like a dime delux diva….and she conplaining! wtf is that about…

    she should have taken a damn cab… and why is she complaining about the dudes on the street talking to her when she just clearly walked like 98 miles to meet a dude that got off the damn train…

    im not walking anywhere…for that long to end up walking back .

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sen666/ Sen666

    We women are crazy! We claim we don’t want attention, yet dress like baby hookers and get mad when a man thinks she’s one! Uh, HELL-O!!! Either ignore it and don’t answer, or wear something else. Tight jeans and cleavage popping=Come and holla, fellas! lol Why do we pretend we don’t like the attention? What are we? Victims? Or gluttons for punishments?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blaque_thot/ blaque_thot

    Oh my God! Had to comment on this one for real. She’s like “Don’t fvcking touch me!” When homie wasn’t even paying hear no mind (3:14) lol. I’m like so someone can’t say “Wow”? Really? I wish they had ALL ignored her see how fast she gives up the coochie to the first dude that asks her what time it is.

    – They don’t even see me!
    – I’m invisible
    – Don’t even look at me
    – I wish I was invisible

    Is this girl on cheap drugs?

    I hate when women say “They don’t even see “”ME”" like their inner soul is emblazoned on their forehead. It’s not as if they, in general, will give a genuinely good guy the time of day if he isn’t dressed or look good.

    DRAMA!

    PS: Is it just me or was she walking around bra-less? Don’t get me wrong ladies, you can wear ANYTHING you want. It’s your right. It is also my right to talk, look and express myself any way I see fit.

    And fyi, most guys “holla” because they really do not want or need your number anyway. If they did, they’d make it happen. You’re just a random lady walking around looking sexy/fine/hot/a-hot-mess etc.

    wow..i don’t know where that video was shot but it was one of our larger cities and she seemed to be in her own hood..maybe she is one of the better women out there..maybe if she was feel’in them she would’nt have got so irritated..do we dress for ourselves or to get noticed..or do the way we dress get us noticed..maybe she didnt like the st corner boyz..smart enough to to feel uncomfortable when strangers are starring,she was in a big city..or maybe just mabe she was in love and was no longer looking for a mate..our response is based on who we think we are..hey ma (the ladies man..if you say it right)..hey shorty/shawty (if ya think ya cool)..you give the stone face starr (if you want her to think you’re a bad boy…baby)..note they may not see her dressed in that manor..seems shes trying to impress..i watched the video a 2nd time and close to the end is when she really started to trip..the brotha she went to meet ain’t too much different..he may or may not be doing something simular to someone..is it right..is it wrong..speaking is onething touching is another..its ok to touch if she holds up for conversation with that smile they give..ya kno..i have heard new york is very unfriendly to strangers in passing but the communities are close..its all about who respect you..some people have no respect..what i do know is most were fishing and if she would have bit it would have been nothing more than what got her attention.. right..wrong..indifferent..its nothing more than fellas taking a shot in the dark..even the taste references..y’all know !!!

    I wonder if someone will just haved said hello would she have been the same way. I think yes because i see women like that everyday. The best thing is just ignore them completely they are nothing. That has worked the best for me at least.

    This is what I have noticed in KCMO… I am a bit of a tom boy so when the weather is hot or even warm most likely I will sport a beater and some bball shorts… Every dude around be all in my grill then… but if I dress up girlie like they will look but they don’t say nothing… Like they intimadated… Then this is only considering hoods…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TMAC_35000/ TMAC_35000

    Blah, that girl is full of shyt. “Don’t touch me” That dude didn’t give two shyts about her ass, he was trying to get buy. If all guys gave her what she wanted (including the one she was going to meet) and made her ass invisible she wouldn’t know what to do with herself.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thomashubbard/ thomashubbard

    So the moral of the story is…Don’t say ANYTHING to a gorgeous black woman! She’s insecure, and has no sense of the world or the individuality in it! She wakes up irritated, walks out the door angry, and is totally stressed out by the time she gets to her destination! So I guess I can conclude that she goes home bitter, eats dinner alone, then calls her girlfriend(s) to b***h about a bunch of men she never gave the time of day to anyway!

    LMAO! I know that’s NOT the truth about black women, but that’s the message this video conveys. I mean, the director could have at least let the last guy turn out to be Prince Charming and sweep her off her feet…but I guess “a happy ending” is too much to ask for. I guess it’s not reality, right?

    Horrible video! I wish the poor girl was invisible, too!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AngryCornflakes/ AngryCornflakes

    This video even though biased and orchestrated did get it’s point across..women dont want to be harassed! But now let me ask this one question how are you supposed to know that the last guy that as you was rude / crass how do you know when you’re “supposed” to approach a female. Men have ALWAYS been the “initiators” i’ve seen/ been in situations where even before you open your mouth she’s already judged you and has a smart a$$ attitude (like the girl in the video). Some of those dude were dead wrong but one or two (especially dude at the end) didnt do or say anything and she had already giving them the evil eye so in fact she prejudged them and was already in the process of telling them off even before they said anything. My thing is yes sometimes we DO holla too much but again if you look good expect to be told so (crass comments aside) and im sure if you were looking beat up no one would pay attention so you can either be mad all day about it or take it as a compliment and keep it pushing

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gods_chosenman/ Gods_chosenman

    I could be just fishing in the dark here, but maybe the bad attitudes like this chicks are one reason alot of black men gravitate towards women of other races. And then Black women say…oh Why is he with that white woman? well look at all the dudes she dissed on the way out the door. I m not saying its right to be disrespectful to women (cause its not). but some (alot) of women take the fact that you approached them as a sign of disrespect…half of those brothers were not even trying to holler at her and look how she acted…real snobbish and uptight.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gods_chosenman/ Gods_chosenman

    Angry Cornflakes…I guess now a days you have to let a woman approach you…I guess thats where were headed in society. I’ve noticed over the last decade women are getting alot more aggressive when they are interested in a guy. Just yesterday I was working out…running laps around a football field and this female jumps in front of me and wouldent let me pass. I wanted to tell her to get her azz outta the way and that I wasnt interested. but it was funny to me how aggressive women are now a days, yet when you approach them its sexual harrassment. And then what ever happened to chivalry and just wanting to be nice just because.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/venusinrapture/ venusinrapture

    All these men getting offended are probably just the ones being portrayed in the video.
    If the ladies aren’t offended by having an airhead portray our fairer sex, then the men don’t need to be offended by being portrayed as…men.
    This video IS orchestrated, but sadly, is pretty close to the truth of what happens when an attractive woman goes to … the grocery store, school, down the street to the subway … you get the idea.
    The difference is that I don’t know that most women handle the situation that way. I can speak for myself and say I don’t walk around looking to see how every black man reacts to me. The girl in the video had absolutely nothing on her mind except for 1. how good she looked and 2. how men looked at her.
    I go about my business, I have other things to worry about. I ignore most advances, and if a man gets rude then I shut him down. I think you draw the line at disrespect when someone says something out of line (that ‘can i taste your chocolate’ was pretty out there), or tries to touch you. Other than that, why even give it time of day?
    If your type of man is the kind who sits around on street corners hollering at anything with a v****a, more power to you, but you are probably the female who sits around saying “men are dogs, ain’t s**t…” etc.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Raheem_nyc/ Raheem_nyc

    me personally i wouldn’t holla at a tramp off the streets. From watching my homies, i can say that most b***hes have attitudes. No matter how you approach them its not the correct way. You can approach them with the utmost amount of manners and still get no play from her. The thing is they’ll basically totally ignore and keep walking. Theres no correct way in hollaring at them. Dudes sometimes basically resort to verbal abuse afterwards when there totally ignored. The crud remarks from men basically come from guys who are constantly rejected after a while.

    That is 5min of my life I will never get back lol… that was ssssoooo stupid. So a female came out the house looking decent, what’s wrong with guy(s) trying to talk to her?. That’s what guys do. Females dress nice,smell good look nice, so we feel happy about ourselves and a couple complements along the way wont hurt. It’s not like they reached out and grabbed her a$$ or anything like that or called her some dirty name. Besides, if she didn’t want to be looked at, she should have took a damn cab. i do that some times when I’m just not int he mood to deal with comments, good or bad. I swear, BP is turning into reach trash with these nonsence and or the constant gossips. How about something uplifting for a change BP, damn! There’s more out there in the black communities of America. It’s like you guys post 1 decent, uplifting story for everty 50 trashy or celeb gossip. I should come up with a different site to enrich the black community cause Balck Planet is no longer cutting it in my opinion.

    Every woman wants to be complimented not disrespected. Does the video show the average day occurrance for the typical woman on the street …NO!. Also please note it appears the woman is actually a TEENAGER so her experience or that which is dipicted is not typical of the average WOMAN…. Men, not the real ones mind you, unfortunately tend to say inappropriate things to teenager girls….yes she was a girl on her walk to meet a date, a teenage boy at the train station…..

    Women love compliements and will respond accordingly to the appropriate kind…..perverted gestures and disrespectful comments..IGNORE. Sincere compliments…”thank you”, “you made my day”, “put a extra peep in my step”…”my baby thinks so too… have a nice day”, “your lady is a lucky girl because you say the nicest things”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/vasco5/ vasco5

    cause we’re the unwanted ones, in a favoritism world that makes ppl more picky and picky everyday,so we afto work harder for the attention,not every young adults had the chance to a diverse college to meet ppl,specially if the schools are’nt funded and for us unity was meant not to happen,because every time someone rise that make us feel like our struggles are the same they’re taking down,like for instance, michael jackson when he broke the barrier from -MTV.He made every race easy to play his role.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sen666/ Sen666

    I can see both sides to this issue: women do not want to be disrespected (especially in front of your children: happen too many times to me! lol) and men do not want to be rejected. No one deserves to be disrespected. Everyone should be treated with respect. And we all need to take some sort of responsibility. As a woman and as a person, it is my right to either respond or ignore a stranger’s remarks…and it is my responsibility to carry myself in a way that let other’s know I mean business! As a man, it is your right to say whatever you may feel like saying to a woman…but it is your responsibility to know that there are consequences and it is OK to not get any play!

    If I am in a new neighborhood, or out jogging, a lot of men do not realize that I am a grown woman and assume I am a teenager. So they try to talk to me whatever way they see fit. And I kindly, respectfully, offer them a rebuttal so they know who they are dealing with! Always with respect!

    But what I don’t get is: why when a woman say know, some men still try to “push up on her” and keep talking? And in front of the children?! lol No means no! Not that serious! People, grow up and act like adults! LMAO

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sylkiifeather/ sylkiifeather

    its really not that serious. if you are a woman, would you prefer never to get approached? there are woman that are too unattractive and probably never get approached. deal with it. as long as he doesnt put his hands on you…words are just words….who cares…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/0VancouverHurts/ 0VancouverHurts

    The woman in the video needs to lighten up. But I’m glad she smiled through it all instead of giving them attitude. She needs to understand that men will holla at anything! lol And where was she walking to anyways? the skytrain? She needs to get her ass in a car and drive so she can avoid all the hollers lol . Men holla cuz they tryin to get numbers, or to see how good is their game, or make girls feel good, or to be simply friendly. Thats how I see it. I don’t mind the hollers I get I just laugh and if he’s cute I might stop and holla back. I ain’t afraid of making new friends, no sir’ee!

    For me no response is the best response. Make sure by your facial expression that you are not interested. Make sure you have eye to eye contact, which let them know I heard you and I am aware that you are talking to me. I have not had any problems or disrespectiful respones. I believe a real man can and will respect that response. Most men can read face pretty good, I have even had some to say that they were SORRY for being disrespectful. They have even made the statement “You Must Have A Damn Good Man”. WHICH I DO! My Man Holla At Me All The Time, And I Like It…

    Hmmm. Personally, I’ve never been one to do mcuh hollerin at women because at an early age I relaized that it best to like people who like me. I’ve seen gorgeous women who were with their children and I kept on steppin. Why? Because my mother was a good lookin woman and I always hated it when men would hit on her when I was there. But one thing I wish women would understand is how much control you have over this whole thing. Men are hard wired to get busy and mcuh and as often as we can. To achieve this you have to have thick skin and be very persistent. As a result of this we have a tendency to be results oriented. It becomes a numbers game. If you hit on 100 women in a week and collect 10 phone numbers that should give you about 3 out 10 chances to get laid (if your game is any good and maybe more if you are really smooth). And don’t forget that men are also “if it aint broke, don’t fix it orieted. So if “ooohh baby you sho look good” works 50% of the time then why change it. YA’LL NEED TO HAVE A MEETIN!

    I wish ya’ll could be us for 1 year. I’d like to see how moral you’d be. How much you’d turn down. And how amazed you’d be at the stuff women actually will go for. Now for you mothers (especially single) with sons. You have a golden opportunity to help your sons become a blessing to someone’s daughter. Don’t spend so much time tellin your son “how cute he is”…Don’t let your frinds do it either. Instead, tell him how smart he is. Tell him that you want him to grow up to be MAN.It helps if you at least have a working idea of what one is. Stop callin him your baby all the damn time. Stop stylin his hair like he’s a pretty boy. Get a doll if you wanna do that mess. Stop bringin home men you don’t want him to be like and surround him with men you admire. EVEN IF THEY AIN’T YOUR MAN!!!! NEVER EVER LET HIM HEAR THAT YOU DON’T LIKE OR TRUST WOMEN. IF YOU, BEIN A WOMAN DON’T LIKE OR TRUST WOMEN, THEN WHY SHOULD HE? STOP TALKIN ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS TO YOUR GIRLFRIENDS IN FRONT OF YOUR SONS. THEY HEAR EVERY WORD. TELL HIM THE TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN, NOT ALL OF THAT FANTASY BASED CRAP BECAUSE MANY OF YOU WOULD CALL PRINCE CHARMING A PUNK AND KICK HIM TO THE CURB. IF HIS FATHER WAS SUCH A DOG, THEN WHY’D YOU GIVE HIM SOME IN THE 1ST PLACE? YOUR SON IS NOT YOUR MAN! IT’S HARD ENOUGH TRYIN TO FIGURE OUT LIFE/MANHOOD WITHOUT YOU PUTTIN ALLA YOUR MESS ON HIM.

    I feel that I can agree to every single comment that has been posted.No matter if you’re a woman who’s getting “hollered at”, or if you’re the man who’s doing the hollering, there is a respectful way to handle both sides. Men, somewhere down the line you may have came across a woman who didn’t care about how a man spoke to her. Maybe she was scared, submissive, or even had no self-respect. She turned around with a smile when you said “Aye girl”, or “psst”, as if you were trying to whisper to her in a busy crowd of people. I think that you have to examine the type of woman you are trying to approach. And women, sometimes it is in the way we dress. If we have on tight clothes with our “assets” showing, that may be a sign to a man that we want the attention(in which sometimes we do). The way you dress can say alot to a man. You cannot get upset if a man comes at you a certain way. You may be sending off the wrong signal. Yet, that does not mean I am saying a man has the right to talk to us in any kind of way. Almost every day I am approached by all kinds of men, even the rudest ones. Yet, I know that ignoring them doesn’t solve it. So, I politely smile, say “hello” and keep walking. I feel that a smile can go a long way, even if you are turning him down. I think that a man should learn from his approaches on what works and doesn’t work. Do not blame it on coming from a fatherless home, because you should learn from watching your mother or another woman you grew up with.You wouldn’t anybody saying “aye h**”or any other derogatory word to your mother or grandmother,so why would you dare do it to someone else’s daughter? Most of all, women are not trading cards or game board pieces. It is not a game to see how many women you can get and how far you can go with each. I think that if you could see it from our side of the spectrum, you would understand why we responding like we do. But women, just know that men aren’t invisible like ghosts.

    See, why can’t we as sexy, beautiful, intelligent women show our beauty and not get harrassed? Some compliments are crass and some or ok, but still it doesn’t give men the right to be disrespectful either.

    Stop f**king with niggas and mess with a real man, niggas don’t know when to shut the f**k up and act like they wasn’t raised with some home training, a man will never step to you on some bulls**t like that, I know I wouldn’t women are beautiful and until them niggas become men there will always be THAT NIGGA lol on the real though!!!

    Some of the guys are a*****es when they holla at the sistas and that’s a valid point, but what if the DON’T holla? They call you ugly, or a lot worse….I jusr say “Nice HaIR”, and that’s G-rated,and it works for me…….

    There are more women in the world then men so its all about the numbers. Men see more woman there type than women see that is there type so the ratio is greater for men to holla.

    Number one your walking instead of pushin a whip
    Number two you are wearing tight az pants and a tight az top
    Number three half the time you will hop in the car.

    Now aren’t all these characteristics of a hooker? Women step ya game up and show some class and you will be treated accordingly most of the time.

    I was at a light one day and a woman was in a car in the left lane next to me and I tried to wave to her and honk my horn to tell her that her tire was really really low. I honked like 3 times, waved my hand…apparently she thought I was trying to holla at her and never looked over or turned her head. Women you are the most beautiful things in the world but c’mon cut it out…

    First of all, how many folks have met their spouse on the street…?

    *sound of crickets*

    Thought so. Probably because most men (as in 99.9%) of men that hit on women on the street really do NOT have honorable intentions. The men talking about how the woman might be missing out on Prince Charming is just trying to lure in the insecure women because Prince Charming had what in abundance *drumroll* CHARM. Usually the men on the street trying to talk to you have no class (let alone charm) whatsoever.

    I am one of those women who leaves the house and never looks busted. Not because I want attention from men but because I know I ony have a young body for so long and I want to enjoy my own beauty. I keep it simple during the day and on those special occasions (e.g. Maxwell concert) I go all out with the glam. I never reveal all my body. Personally I find being covered up but wearing clothes that fit well have a way of making you look gorgeous AND classy which are two qualities I like to work in tandem with one another. Class is big for me, so no mini catsuits baring shoulders and all legs for me (women, PLEASE do one or the other: show legs and cover up the top body or expose shoulders and cover up the lower body…THAT allows an air of mystery to your physique but only allowing one visual sample).

    I used to get hit on in the streets ALOT when I lived in an area where alot of men trolled for women (Venice). After 2 years of being harrassed, disrespected and threatened by insecure men I was like “Forget beach living” and moved out to another part of LA where I am happy to say I am NEVER approached disrespectfully. I see men looking at me, they try to talk to me but the WAY they talk to me is VASTLY different (which I have no doubt is because the median income bracket is triple than what it was in the old neighbourhood). They are ALWAYS respectful. I am happy to accept a compliment from a gentleman who approaches me as a woman, who greets my eyes and more than likely has seen me before at the grocery store, taking a walk along the Main Street browsing stores. But men who yell out to you, who don’t even look at you, who yell from CARS (ergh – soooo trashy let alone lazy!) or debate how fine your feet are with their boys can keep away. PLEASE keep away.

    She was not flattered by all the attention and compliments. I know that many women who get attention in that way don’t like it but then there are women who need that to feel good so it’s a toss up. What happened is that all she went through made her have to think about the way the guy she was dealing with was. I don’t think a woman should contrast a guy she is interested in due to attention she get from other guys. Watching this clip showed me that women are very intense thinkers. But I feel think thinking too much creates confusion in people’s minds.

    I know the feeling. Yeah it’s nice to get compliments but after a while it feels like harassment. Even though one guy doesn’t know the other it gets old. Makes you feel like you did something wrong or something.

    Yup it is true….most men holla for sex. and it is true half the time they get it….as long as there are woman out there that will suck the skin off your privates like a vacuum just cause you have a nice car or money etc there will be guys that will continually “holla” hoping that you are that same type of one. It don’t matter how good or ugly you are.

    I can’t blame them lol. To avoid this WOMEN…carry yourself with class and if you look like a w***e most of the time dudes will carry you like you are. Thats just that…having a great body for woman or a man can be a curse also.

    I especially can identify with this form of torment, I can’t even take a daily run in the neighborhood with a black man making sexual gestures or comments about my body parts. It’s anoying and creepy because you don’t know when some will actually try to invade your space. I stop running in my neighborhood, I invested ina eliptical for my home, so, I don’t have to be seen by these perve eveyday. I enjoy getting in my car and going to my destination. Because I don’t want to here that crap every day. The men today needs to learn how to talk to woman and young ladies, I hope they are not doing the females in their house hold this way, This just raise a question on the level of abuse in the black community house-holds. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

    I don’t agree with rude comments period, but how come when a nice guy like myself approach a woman (you know a d*** woman isn’t going to approach a man) catch a attitude. I don’t give you know dumb lines or nothing. I say hello..how are you ….I sware females are the worst!
