•  80% of women have experienced it

•  Almost 50% of women find it flattering

•  Housewives love it more than working women

•  3% become sexually excited

•  3% have been on a date as a result

•  Older women revel in attention Men’s comments are decidedly predictable

Its has been revealed what the UK’s female population really think about being wolf whistled and cat-called by men in the street. Of the 1,656 women interviewed*, almost 50% found attention from workmen and van drivers flattering and 42% of women said it put them in a good mood - with 3% even becoming sexually excited!

A game 3% of women were so taken with the attention that they went on a date with their wolf whistler whilst only 14% did not like the attention, feeling intimidated or angry as a result.

Eternal Youth
An overwhelming 80% of women have at some time or other been wolf whistled or cat called by workmen or van drivers and unsurprisingly, the likelihood of this occurring is directly related to age. 86% of women aged between 16 and 24 have experienced it, with this percentage diminishing the older women are.

Perhaps because older women are wolf whistled less often, when they do receive such vocal male attention they are more likely to be flattered than any other age group, with 57% of women between 45 and 54 finding it flattering compared to 34% of 16 to24 year olds. Women in the youngest age bracket also find this kind of attention the most difficult to handle, being more embarrassed and intimidated by the occurrence than any other age group.

Desperate Housewives?
Of all the women interviewed, housewives loved it more than working women, with 54% flattered by the attention. Their response to what seems to be a regular occurrence is decidedly positive, with 44% laughing in response and a cheeky 7% responding flirtatiously. Female students are the least likely of all to enjoy the attention – perhaps as a result of all that feminist literature? – with only 39% finding it flattering.

Speaking of the results, Budget Van Insurance’s Emma Maziak (who has herself experienced her fair share of wolf whistling from workmen and van drivers) says:

"As champions of the van driver, Budget Van Insurance is heartened that so many women get a lift from being wolf whistled and the results clearly show that women are put in a good mood by the attention. It’s always nice to receive compliments and I for one would be more than happy to smile and wave - as long as what was said was flattering of course!”

Corinne Sweet, psychologist says:
“It’s a sign of the times that only a minority of women dislike being wolf-whistled today. Most can take this primitive, animalistic courtship behaviour in their stride. Modern women are more confident, affluent, educated and powerful and can give as good as they get when it comes to cat-calling men. Budget Van Insurance’s survey shows you can take the man out of the van, but not the animal instinct out of the man.”


Keep it up boys!  :D

When 60 year old men in trucks do it, it makes you feel physically sick. Theres one to add  :)

She loves it really...

:|  Not when they have a 7ft goatie and the biggest pair of man tits ever, no  :|
Unless you like that kind of thing. Heebie jeebies.

booooooo

I have to agree here sade.  it is also not nice to see their hairy arse cracks hanging out either  :|

Agreed. Typically they normally have greasy grey hair, builders bum, fag stuck to their lip, a wart on their nose and tittys that would give jordan a run for her money  :D

 :mrgreen: Hmmm now when its a cute builder on the other hand.......



 :oops: My Bampy is 75 and he still lures at women, I find it funny though.
I went out in his car with him the other day because he had to go shopping and wanted me to help him because he'd never been to asda before. On the way, every single woman walking on the pavement he would have a quick look at. He says 'oh she had a nice pair of eyes'. I know what he really meant. My grandads cool.

your grandad is upholding a fine tradition of looking at women with one eye on haging out of them, being from westbury he probably eyes you up to.

:evil:

Oh thats totally discusting.

Sade - What the 'eck is a "Bampy"?

It's a Grandad I think. I used to call my great grandad Bampy, he was ace

Yeah grampy = bampy  :oops:  I still call him that now. Is that sad ? His full name is bampy digger (If I want money hehehe).

Shouldnt the word 'Gold' be in front of 'digger'?.  :mrgreen:

8)  I'm not a goldigger because I always pay it back. In the form of money before any of you discusting lot start thinking rude stuff.

Only you would think that we would write something like that, im disappointed.  :?

To be honest your "bampy" probably is interested considering you're from Westbury!  :mrgreen:
