No. Cat calling is different from actually trying to make a pass at someone. When a guy cat calls, he's whistling or shouting to a woman for the purpose of gaining attention. If you google it you'll see.
What I am talking about is more like, I'm filling up my tank in a gas station in my uniform on my way to work and the guy behind me is telling me how cute I am and then starts asking me when I'll be there next, when I get off my shift, if I live in the area etc. Which is trying to make a pass at me and it's a little uncomfortable. Kudos to him for having the balls, just wish they'd quit when I say "I'm married" or "I'm gay". I mean, really, I drove a V8, if he knew about cars he would know I'd be there again very soon XD
You would be seriously surprised at how little many men care about what I'm wearing or whether I'm wearing makeup and so on. It's not just me either. I can agree that dressing in a more provocative manner will be, of course, more provocative but considering that many women don't even need to, I still disagree that the way a woman carries herself completely dictates whether or man will try to make passes at her, if that makes sense.
For some people, simply being male or female and in an approximate age group is sufficient 'provocation' for a sexual advance. Because men have traditionally been the chaser (it's something of a biological inclination) and women have traditionally been the chased, women are more likely to be on the receiving end of unwanted advances, whether they are dressed to impress or not.
Men are so sensitive to critisim IIN?

Have to agree with you there.
