When I visited DC in October, my friends commented on how out of character it was... to see me wearing jewellery, nicer clothes. Cat calling while I lived in DC actually wore me down. I was sick of getting hit on when I was simply walking to the grocery store in oversized sweatpants, and a XXL hoodie. Guys caught on that I couldn't hear, and rather than just yell out to me, they'd gesture. I stopped making ANY effort to look good whatsoever, because I hated the attention.
I was out for a run once, and stopped to catch my breath, walk instead. Some guy was walking on the opposite side of the road, and yelled out. I looked, and thought, "Dammit!"... he started crossing the road towards me. A real rough, thug-ish looking guy. Comes over, says something. I point to my ear and shrug. He offers me part of the sub he was eating... I turned it down (lmao...).
He asked if I had a phone, I said I didn't. Then my phone vibrated, and I started coughing, hoping that covered the vibrating sound somewhat
, I felt like he'd totally kill me if he caught me in a lie. Then he opened up his phone, showed me some pictures of kids he had on there. a bottle or two of wine/champagne/something, and then some pictures of his guns.
After another few awkward gestures, off the topic of guns, I gestured that it was time for me to start running again. Then, I took off.... I could barely breathe, but wouldn't stop to walk again, I was too close to home... didn't want him to know where I lived, so I pushed through it, ran all the way back to my apartment.
Here, I basically don't exist to guys, so I can actually put the effort in to look good, for *me*. Guys aren't as aggressive here... cat calling isn't much of a thing at all.

I promise, I am quite entertaining offline! But yes hun, you do have a point. Some women quite enjoy cat calls and attention. Most women appreciate being noticed and to feel beautiful.
