| Why the whistle?
Posted: 5/22/2008 12:03:15 PM | | I've never, ever seen a guy whistle at a good-looking woman and if I did I'd have a powerful urge to kick him back into the 1950s. | |

If a guy whistles, it might get her attention...... it's like when guys in cars beep their horns at women.
Pointless but it get's him noticed for a split second. | |

Posted: 5/22/2008 3:17:42 PM | Your suspicions are correct, it is a knee-jerk instinctual reaction. I remember walking along a city street to use up some time while my car was being worked on. In kind of a half daze, I noticed this pick-up trunk coming up the road. Driving it was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen, and looking absent mindedly towards her, I mouthed "holy sh*t, wow", she read my lips and as I was regaining my composure, mouthed back "thank you". It took me half a second to understand why she was saying that to me! That's how mesmerized I was. I'd do the same thing with you OP...
holy sh!T, wow...! | |

I will go with cultural programming as well.
But why all the fuss? | |

My question to you is how does it make you feel as a woman when a complete stranger whistles at you?
we pretend we're annoyed sometimes but don't let us fool you. most of us love it.  | |

Why a slap on the ass? To see if she got balance, health, and is strong enough to carry a child to term.
Women can learn everything about a man from his kiss. Men can assess a woman's skills by a slap on the ass. When a woman turns her head from a whistle it shows she is attentive, alert, quick-witted and can be easily trained.

Posted: 5/23/2008 1:19:53 AM | Instead of whistling, another tack would be to say something like, "Hey bayybee!", or, better, "Hey bayybee... Goin' my way?" or even "Hey bayybee... Do ya come here often?"
It is possible that some men might whistle as a form of exorcism and/or performance-art-cum-demonstration against, and critique of, some forms of social/media contrivances, such that whistling in a particular way or context might be a part of.
Sometimes I'll whistle someone's cellphone tune as its ringing. I mean, some ringtones can be downright entertaining and impressive.
Why, I would even ask a woman to slow dance if only her cell would ring long enough. | |

Now THAT'S a creative pick-up strategy!
Don't know if it will work, but high marks for originality!  | |

Why thank you, but cells make pretty easy props. ;)
