Re wolf whistling...it never bothered me and now I am grateful.

I hate crude remarks though, I can always think of a better one but I am a laydeee so I say nothing.

It used to embarrass the fuck out of me, but some perverse part of me also felt a little flattered, and I think if most women are truly honest, they do enjoy turning heads.    Now, I'm lucky if I can turn a corner!!!

And no shouting 'MELONS' to their mates either....I hate that.

Guess that's because of the bar & grill that carries that name

'HOOTERS' ...seems to be the 'new' word that the drunked up college age crowd will yell at some young well endowed girl!

Wolf whistling is considered very sexist nowadays, my son who is a scaffolder says none of the lads do it now.....seems to be a thing of the past.

I know you still must turn heads by the way.....I still get the odd appreciative glance myself, usually from  men with  white sticks walking their guide dogs.

To be honest I'm not looking for it these days.   My OH assures me I do get the odd look.   Bless him.

I'm sure you do.
One of the blessings I have found is I cant see whether I get looks or not, I only wear  my  glasses when doing close up work.

Men (straight ones, that is) would love it for the most part

I absolutely agree with that Ben. I remember waking up one morning in Stromness in the Orkney Islands after a night drinking the local home brew only to find that my neck was covered in a chain of love bites. She must have been a vampire to do that and gawd knows what else she must have done.

It was the middle of summer and I had to go and buy a polo neck sweater and wear it foir about two weeks until they faded.

I felt used.

That sounds funny Irn, but actually if a woman had written that it would have an entirely different context....date rape would spring to mind.

I also worked a season  at a Pontins in the 60's...it wasn't the Morecombe one though...so don't worry.
