Proves you are secure with yourself. My man always takes it as a compliment when other guys look at me "that way." The difference is if I'm alone, then see Lahada's comment below. It's sort of embarrassing b/c everyone ELSE turns to look too….. Also walking alone and getting a catcall is flattering, yes, but I would be very uncomfortable if some guy decided to up the ante and walk alongside me. THAT is why women don't respond. Don't want to invite dangerous shit.
Yes, but when the guy(s) were walking alongside her telling her saying , "what? you're too good to talk to me?" How should that be handled ? It would be nice to say "thank you", smile, whatever for the flattery, but also there's the concern that it could escalate..
