i-omega 09-01-06, - 05:19 PM Its really a powerful and negative thing. I see classmates from school on the street as im walking or driving by and i try to get their attention or flag them down and they are so used to men harrasing them that they assume that thats what im doing and wont even look my way..... i have to actually go stand in front of them and say Hey "" its me...from."". Before they look up and realize im not one of the harrassers. .
she might of sight you on the side and realise that you don't want nothin 4rom a female so she just ignore you 2 not waste her time:voodoo::D
licks2 09-01-06, - 05:23 PM Hey girls...I think that it een what a man says to or at you! What ya respond to tells more about ya than what is said at ya!
One thing I have alway observed in well adjusted girls and women...hoots and cat calls een make a damn bit of difference to them either way! And another thing about them is that they usually are the ones that have good relationships with their fathers and brothers and are less likely to be sexually permiscous! I have never been able to figure out what came first...comfort with brother and fathers...or comfort with men...thus, comfort with brother and fathers! Sometimes I think that they tend to forget that not all "men" will be cool with them all the time!
When I asked a friend why she "allows" those guys to "hail" her so....and she would smile back or say hi! She said: "when they een hooting at ya...but just looking like ya is a bowl er counch salad...that's when ya be wary of them"! "Them the set that want what ya gat"!
Her mantra is: "chile leave them people alone and let them talk...ya hear...they een touching you"! "Hell..it een my job to grow-up they no-menners tails. :cutie:
slicer 09-01-06, - 05:25 PM society has now dictated how a female should dress in order to receive attention. me in my long brown pants and scrubs may not receive a whistle as the female in her halter top and mini skirt will. SEX SELLS. look at any commercial on tv - or bring it home. the kalik commercial where a female is remembered because of her spread on page 3! (ya'll kno wat i mean). and like my boy say, ain no harm in hollering. jus wat ya holla. "Gurl i'll turn u upside down and *&^^((##" ... umm.. hello?! females have been "pocked" with rocks because they don't acknowledge a man's advances. bwoy ey, i dnt kno...

One thing I have alway observed in well adjusted girls and women...hoots and cat calls een make a damn bit of difference to them either way! It makes a differance to them they just don't show it. For some it down right hurts. Guys remember I go where you don't I have lived/live both sides. I hear things you will never hear. And another thing about them is that they usually are the ones that have good relationships with their fathers and brothers and are less likely to be sexually permiscous! I have never been able to figure out what came first...comfort with brother and fathers...or comfort with men...thus, comfort with brother and fathers!Where did you get that garbage from??

Its interesting how people speak about society as though society is a hybrid animal seperate from the people themselves. WE ARE SOCIETY.
From the beginning of time women knew just what would get a man and what wouldnt..its this timelessness that now shows up in what we see today in movies, commercials, etc.
From time and memoriam sex has been used as the ultimate weapon, the ultimate sabateur, the ultimate war maker and peace breaker!
You think mini-skirts and provocative wear just began to become en-vouge with the advent of the fashion magazine eh?

:bouncy: Well to me, I would have to say that a "guy hollerin" at women/girls is more protocol than it being instincts. Like Nation said, it is learnt or teached by a male relative or a friend that they constantly hang with. I think instinct is what makes the guy look in the first place!
Heres a break-down, if a guy is driving in a car, and notices a female that is dressed very "LIL KIM LIKE" walking the streets (or anywhere else for that matter) he is most definitely going to look and evaluate her body structure and features.
That's what I view as instincts.
But if the guy chooses to make a lude gesture or comment to the female, that is what he has been taught is proper protocol! (I do not agree personally)
At a difference, If a female who dresses very provocatively and walks the streets or just dresses that way, opens herself to "guy's hollerin"!
I would even go so far as to say, that she probably dresses in that manner to attract men, but get's mad when she attract guy's she view as "good for nothings", that only want one thing!:gi:
"PUT THE PHEORMONES IN THE AIR, WHO KNOWS WHAT YOU"LL ATTRACT":hammer:

canewry 09-02-06, - 07:08 AM Thats right blame it all on women
Men need to stop seeing women as sex toys no matter how they dress. They need to learn respect for women.
suck teeth!
I am tired of being brushed with that broad stick of generalization.
Men and women relationship has become guess work. Nothing sure now a days.
If ya say goodmorning without staring at a woman, she calls you gay...
If you seek at her and say she look good, you harassing her.
If you stare at her because her dress too short and you can actually see the hair from her la la....you invading her rights.
I say women need to create a guide book on how they would like men to treat them, subsequently men should create a guideline on how we view women...consequently we should find a common groud...Well that's until we realize that men and women are different and see things differently.
Besides, I think Bahamian men treat women in general better than the rest of the world. Yet they still complain. There is no making Bahamian women happy...dang

you're right, cave women used to wear them mini loin cloths back in the day.
pharoah 09-02-06, - 08:38 AM Agreed in most instances. God made women beings of influence..women dont understand the power they have and they ultimately use it in a way that would destroy them.
I disagree, i think they know exacly the ''power they have''. I think when women put on skimpy and revealing outfits they want a certain kind of attention. And we weak men simply indulge them! :angel:
