Why do guys to this - when you are happily walking along minding your own business and someone whisltes or honks or leers...do guys honestly think it will make us ladies think "wow where have you been all my life stud" and chase the car down the road - yes it could be taken as a compliment - but wouldnt a nice smile do a better job?

Because of the patriarchy. You are not a person, but an object to be gazed at. It's all part of the same culture that harrasses, rapes and otherwise uses male sexuality against women.

I couldn't agree with u more.
what is the point of scaring someone
especially if they are nice looking and a bit suspicious of
chaps anyway?
A whistle from a distance is more flattering than intimidating.
and yes, a nice smile is much better.

If you aint paying them any attention they whistle. Be glad you get that much, yea its annoying, and I tell guys all the time that I dont like that, but be glad you look good enough for some one to even stop and try to holla...

They ain't nothing but a hound dog!
And that's why that whistle is called The Wolf whistle

Yes, it's extremely impolite.
Interestingly enough, I don't know how to whistle, although even if I did I would probably use it to whistle J Geils band songs instead of making unwelcome sexual comments...

they whistle because by the time they get their gobs open to say words then they would've passed by already.and what would be the point of backing up?lol
and also if they did it while standing still they would surely get a slap.so from their car its saver cause then they can get away in a hurry before the girl beats the hell out of them.

Chances are, they are just letting you know that your HOT! A smile can't be seen unless your looking at the person. Hope this helps.

It happens to me all the time while walking on the street. Or even while I'm on my bike.. "oh she's got a nice body wow..." I'm flattered but at the same time worried they would stalk me. lol

Ha ha.. I don't know... I was driving down the road the other day, and one of the workers on the side of the road yelled "wooo hoo!" I had the same reaction that you did... "Does that work on ANY woman!?!"
