Definitely not but I'd feel equally strongly that it should never be done. There might be the odd good spot for some comedy with it I guess but never ever wolf whistle feels like the optimal line.

Well I have to admit that I have done it in the past. I think I would be scared to do it in the future though. I think I would like it if I was a girl but perhaps that's because I'm a slapper.  |

Benny Hill was pretty dated when I was a kid, and I am nearly as old as Tikay. Not sure he'd be the best person to make a judgement on where the line should be drawn |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Should be encouraged.....since you aren’t allowed to do anything else it seems! |

At my trainers owners day last week i was looking at my horse and said out loud "you are a beauty" the woman standing the other side said "well thank you" did not have the heart to tell her i was talking about the horse.

Beats me why anyone would want to disrespect themselves with this gross action, never mind the lack of respect for the object of it.

I bet you're great fun at a party. My colleague just said "where will all this PC stuff end, most women view it as a compliment." What's next on the agenda for being out of order, chatting up a girl in a bar? |

Women the world over will be falling apart with insecurity when no man dares compliment them in the future..
'hi ..can i buy you a drink ' will now be viewed as a prelude to rape and the villain arrested on the spot..
I saw a poll on tv not so long ago which asked women what they thought of wolf whistles.. majority secretly liked it... perhaps we should ask the people it affects before the thought police decide for us

This stuff isn't rocket science is it? Do you think the target of your action is going to appreciate it? Context is everything. The trouble is that to work this out you need social skills. If you don't know or can't guess well don't do it.
If you are planning on wolf whistling at a random stranger I'd say enough women would be upset or intimidated rather than see it as flattery, so you shouldn't do it as you don't have any other information to go on.
If you are planning on complimenting someone on their appearance, some people will like it and some won't, so you need to know who you are talking to. If you are planning on doing it anyway then complaining when the subject of your comment doesn't like it, then why would you want to give a compliment that someone doesn't like? I think you need to admit that you are doing it for your own reasons rather than because you want to be nice at this point.

Isn't it strange that 10% of women aged between 18-24 think a man asking them out for a drink is sexual harassment?
Isn't there a chance the baby is being thrown out with the bath water?
Perhaps the younger generation will just meet more and more online.

I was talking to a woman last week, and she firmly believed the only acceptable place for a man and a woman to meet was online. |
