Oooor...she could take it to mean that she looks good? Are we really beyond people thinking positively of themselves? What's wrong with a woman thinking she looks beautiful?

Nothing's wrong with a woman wanting to feel beautiful. That, I'm okay with. But a woman shouldn't validate bad behavior by being pleased when somebody wolf-whistles at her on the street. That's just tacky.

I suppose that's where we have a difference of opinion. Yes, being told you're beautiful is absolutely a compliment. To me, being wolf-whistled at is not.

well then, opinions accounted for, it's a good thing this FML isn't about how someone whistled at you for mistakingly finding you attractive.

Holy run-on sentence, Batman! But seriously, I agree with 50. Serisent, everyone has their own way of complimenting someone. Wolf-whistle or not, it's the thought that counts.

14 - I think that if two people feel secure enough with their relationship, they should be able to talk and laugh about these kinds of things, with no fighting/jealousy ensuing. Idk, just my take on it. Its Interesting to see how other people view this specific topic.

well i agree with you - no idea why you are being thumbed down.

41: probably because, and this just might be me, there's a chance that her friends said so jokingly? I say stuff like that to my friends, and receive just as much "abuse" from them as well, all the time. geez.

44- Which would be why, if you can read, I did suggest that they had said it jokingly. I also said that if they did this often, if this was common for them, then she needs to consider cutting them out. You don't know the situation any better than I do, and there's nothing wrong with covering both angles of thought with this FML. 41- It's okay, I don't mind. It's because of how long my post is, some people don't agree with the comment, and others just don't like how I tend to come off as preachy and want me to get the **** off my high horse. I don't really care about thumbs, I just like contributing my thoughts occasionally.

45: well, apparently neither of us can read, as I never said you didn't mention the possibility of it being a joke. I was simply saying, as you also mentioned, many would lot themselves with all the "tl;dr" crowd and probably assume the gist was the main thesis of the other 99% of what you wrote. geez.

49- You said, "probably because, and this just might be me, there's a chance that her friends said so jokingly?". That heavily implies that I hadn't thought about it or mentioned it, that only you and not I had considered that. Your first reply was snapping at me for saying that it could be abuse, and your second was attacking me for making a comment too long for people to want to read. You didn't mention anything about my comment being too long for the 'tl;dr' people to read until after I had pointed out that you yourself had missed part of it.

72: I apologize for having said anything at all, particularly because my first comment wasn't directed towards you at all. and my second comment was not an "attack," I was simply explaining the comment you insulted me over, as I believed that saying people would avoid the comment due to it's length was heavily implied. my context clues were either lacking or eluded you. I'm sorry you took the comments so personally.
