Sweet ass and titties, Britney Spears, and Peepers????

So, guys out here in San Diego are much more forward then they are back in Madison. I have kind of been appreciating it, esp. all of the drinks they buy (I have been going out a decent amount and I never spend any money!!). However, some of it is just strange and uncalled for. First of all, I could really do without the catcalling. Has whistling at girls and yelling things at them ever worked out for guys?? Because if it has, I would like to speak to the girls that fell for it and tell them that they are ruining everything for the rest of us. The other day I was walking down the mainstreet in PB and I guy started yelling at me from the otherside of the busy street saying "Hey girl in the green shirt, you have a sweet ass and titties." He then kept asking me to cross the street and come hang out with him. He was being so loud and annoying that all the people stopped at the stoplight in their cars started starring at me too. I tried to ignore the situation, but apparently ignoring someone who is catcalling you doesn't get the point across that you are not interested, so finally I had to yell back "Im sorry this sweet ass and titties is busy and not interested." I thought this would have maybe gotten the point across....but obviously i dont understand the mind of a catcaller. I think this egged him on even more because then he started shouting "come on sexy lady, we can have a good time if you just cross the street." So, finally not knowing what to do and getting stressed from even more people started to stare at me, I turned down a side st. and made my escape.

Besides the catcalling, I have noticed that guys out here have many more lines that you can tell they use on every girl and also they compliment girls much more often. Now don't get me wrong, I think its very nice when a guy gives a geniune compliment, but when you can tell they have used that line on about a million other girls, or if you don't know if their compliment is actually good, then it really doesn't work for me. First situation: I was at the bar the other night and went to go get my first drink. When I got to the bar the guy right next to me turned and said "Wow, Britney Spears!" I then gave him a very strange look and just stared at him a little and said "excuse me?" He then went on to tell me that I looked just like Britney Spears, and then being very confused I asked "is that a good or bad thing", to which then he gave me a strange stare back. We both ackwardly stared at eachother for while and then I asked him if he had seen Britney Spears lately. He obviously does not read Perez Hilton everyday like me cause he did not understand that telling someone that they look like a crazed, drugged out lunatic who does not have real hair anymore is not necessarily a good thing. When I explained this to him he apologized and attempted to redeem himself, but I had already recieved my drink and was getting summoned for beer pong so I was outa there. So, sorry buddy, next time get your compliments straight.

Situation 2: I just got back to my apt from running errands and there are 2 strange men sitting in the living room. I know that they must be my roommate Josh's friends so I say hi and introduce myself to them. When I say hi and shake the first guys hand he doesn't tell me his name right away but just says "Wow you have great peepers." I was very caught off guard by this and I started thinking to myself what the hell is this guy talking about, what are peepers. Then I realized I was wearing a little black dress and did not have a bra on so immediately I thought this guy was making some comment on my boobs. I started again to stare at him somewhat strangely (possibly starting to look somewhat angry cause I thought this guy just met me and was already commenting on my boobs). He then realized I was very confused and explained that peepers meant eyes. However, now I was experiencing anger mixed with being embarrassed for thinking a guy was making a comment about my boobs when he was actually being nice, so I went off to the room, and the compliment was basically useless.

So moral of the story...If you are a guy, DO NOT catcall. I garauntee it will not work, and if it does, I don't think the girl that replies to it is anyone you should want to be with. Also, if you are going to give a girl a compliment make sure that it is a good one and that she will understand it. Otherwise your efforts will be lost on explaining yourself and the good impression that you were trying to give off will already be lost.
