I usually ignore them and keep walking.
Also, check out this video of GIRLS catcalling men... its hilarious :P "DOES THE BEARD MATCH THE CARPET?"
Also, what men ARE really saying when catcalling:
I smile and subconsciously begin to strut a bit as I keep walking lol. I appreciate the sexual objectification. It's mostly girls who have low confidence that get offended by it, unless the guy overtly takes it too far.
"Wooo! Shake it girl!" Isn't as bad as "cmon girl! Show me that pussy!".
Lol see that's how it's too far and can be offputting. Don't take it that far and it's all good. I've had groups of girls whistle at me and tell me to "flex those cheeks" when riding past on my bike lol. How can you not just smile at that and keep going? Lol.
I think it's despicable.
Sorry, didn't watch the videos because I feel very strongly about "CATCALLING". It's crude and rude and speaks of the guys who catcall's mentality, social status,, manners, compassion, etc., It's overtly sexual and it's meant to be. It implies sexual acts and domination and misogyny. It's sexual harassment, maybe even assault. And I think not protected free speech. I don't get it. Fuck'n dirt-bags.
Ignore it and move on with my life like a normal human being.
Personally, I feel when women make a huge scene over it, it'll only make those type of guys do it more. It got the women's attentions (which was the goal) and I feel that would only make them want to do it again.
But that's just me.
It's all about showing off for other men moreso than complimenting or even trying to positively get your attention in the wrong way. Getting mad just plays into his hands.
Ignoring him completely like you didn't even hear it ruins his little comedy routine.
*rolls eyes* Because being called beautiful on the street is so traumatic compared to all the women being enslaved and raped in the middle east.

They need to be called out since they don't know better.
Apparently, you have never been to Italy before. Men will REALLY cat call you, and it's not unheard of to have your butt cheeks (gently) patted or lightly grabbed if you walk down the street in Palermo.
That first video kind of just perpetuated more massive gender stereotypes.
If I was actually catcalled like that'd I'd probably be confused at first and then learn to ignore it because I'd get bored of hearing it constantly. I don't really walk around on the streets. I usually drive places. But if I do walk I usually have my earplugs in listening to music so I wouldn't even know if it happened to me.
Yes, outright ignore them, just like you said in your question, ignoring them is a good way of handling this, the more you try to react, they worse it will get.
I must be very naïve but I don't think I have ever seen any catcalling but I have a rough idea of what it is like - Those videos are hilarious
I wouldn't know, I rarely go outside
