Probably best for the guy to just truthfully tell her so.
If nothing serious is welcome. Saying so also helps, lol

Its normal to whistle or call out compliments or exclaim interest, whats not normal is if her reaction is negative, that you continue to do so, or if you start telling her what she should or shouldn't do.
Basically cat calling is fine in the way that talking is fine, but you can still be an asshole when talking. - +1 y
@TheSpaceGnome lol good points, but if you think about it- say a girl is married? Dating? Rude a bit. Say she’s on her way to the hospital, but would otherwise want to talk? Seems impractical to cat call. At a social setting- seems the most appropriate like the grocery store, or a cafe. Not on the street lmao.
Flattering maybe, but what if the guy is absolutely dressed like a bum? What does he expect? Is the cat call a pick up? Because then it seems like it should be reserved for prostitutes lol
Maybe it depends on what is said. I don't know I never been cat called before. I’ll cross that road when I get there. Still just a bit iffy to me.. - +1 y
Ok so a few things:
1. If she has a ring on her ring finger, she's engaged or married, if not, then there isn't a way to know, but if she's uninterested/taken, she can just say so.
2. Men have no idea where she is headed.
3. Grocery stores, eateries, and other business locations are a VERY bad place to be flirting, it's inapropriate af in my opinion to do it in those places, better to do it either outside or at either person's home.
4. What is considered dressed like a bum is subjective and irrelivant, she's going to care what he looks like sure, but his clothing is moot.
5. it's not a pickup line, its a way to say hi while giving the green light for her to persue if she wants.
6. prostitution should be illegal everywhere in my opinion.
7. Whats said is supposed to be complimentary.
8. I've never actually cat called before, but I've seen other guys do it to women and thats what I took from it.

@TheSpaceGnome nice order here 😄 ahem lol:
But I do have to add a homeless guy would be seen universally as “being dressed as a bum”- a guy who’s slept on the streets, for however long.
No homeless person- guy or girl should be making flirtatious remarks or propositions for dates because they’re not financially able and contribute nothing but weight, and possible psychological/ emotional baggage.
It can be a pick up like if he says something like “show me what you got under there.”
“come sit on my lap”
How long is she gonna sit on his lap for? 24 hours? Lmao save that kind of talk for the prostitutes..
A friendly gesture? Only if it’s a friendly comment, as well as being paired with him being able to fall back if she doesn’t engage him. You say on the street or houses… somehow lol that’s just where I differ- I’d prefer social settings. A lot more comfortable. A place for talking. Shows me if he’s got a brain or a life. As opposed to someone with a drinking problem or a drug dealer on the streets. I may not be much but (no offense to anyone and their life choices- prostitutes or dealers) I’m not “trash”…
Like I said, I’ll cross that road when I get there. For now, you and I will just have to settle for that we agree on some parts and disagree on other parts. I’m open to guys, just probably not in that way. Label me a bxtch if you or anyone wants to. I can’t help my beliefs. Depends on the situation I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - +1 y
Most homeless people have an income, are dressed normally, and you can't tell they are homeless.
Also, I'd date a homeless woman, income or not, if I liked her brain and she was pretty, even if her clothes were janky looking (if I like her they are coming off anyway, besides, i think most expensive clothing styles are ugly af).
I don't like public commerical places for flirting, if i'm at an eatery, I'm there to eat, or work, not be bothered by strangers. If I'm at a grocery store, I want to be in and out, not make small talk or watch my icecream melt and the meats go bad in my cart because I spent an hour flirting with some girl.
Save that shit for when people AREN'T busy, otherwise its just rude.
- +1 y
@TheSpaceGnome right when people aren’t busy- you think people on the street aren’t busy? Lmfao 🤣 Literally a girl could be on her way to the hospital or a meeting; she can’t flirt in the street?
You wanna justify homeless people or druggies than DO SO mannn lmfao It’s a free country and this was my free comment to the question- I’m GOING TO say what I think, feel, and/or believe.
Go do the same and what you must. We two people just differ. Surely you can see that? ? ? - +1 y
1. When walking from one location to another, it's typically viewed as "not busy" by most people. Whether its true in any given case, is debatable, but a person shopping or eating is 100% busy.
As far as the homeless go, I'm basing my statements on facts, not beliefs. The majority of homeless people are working, well dressed, clean, and typically you find out they are homeless by accident or because they ask if you know of any apartment listings available. - +1 y
Often its do to a landlord selling the house, or a relationship falling apart, or mom/dad kicking the person out at 18 before they had time to land their own place.

@TheSpaceGnome okay facts in your state…
In the state of New York- a lot of the homeless you see aren’t working, unless you count hustling people or the government as “work.”
You say debatable and mention to me talk about shopping and eating. I say shopping isn’t a 100% true and is debatable. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t mind be approached as I browse shoes or so. Maybe he liked my shoes? Lmfao
So the last comment seems highly opinionated, or at the very least, factual and ONLY applicable to your state and other suburban states. POSSIBLY.
what is a fact- is that you and I agree on some pieces here and disagree on some pieces here. What are you trying to make out of it? 😐 👂👀👂 - +1 y
The prefered place to flirt is opinionated, the homeless person statements were fact, in all states.
- +1 y
@TheSpaceGnome not a fact. I don’t need a poll to know about the people I grew up with and the people I saw in time square. I have first hand knowledge- you have a poll. How’s anyone going to track these people? The legit ones who lose their papers and don’t sit down to take polls? The ones half out of their mind?
You sit on the polls run by the researchers, but they missed out on the large clusters of homeless people in New York. They spend a lot of their time in religious homes/ shelters/ missions. A lot of them apply for section 8 etc.
You can type it in my face “FACT” but I know the facts about the people’s faces all out there who don’t have a place, and sleep in cardboard boxes, and go stop by “free food pantries,” just so they don’t die, while barely alive with their conditions. - +1 y
@TheSpaceGnome it’s not a fact you wanna make it a fact based of numbers you read in article 9 or web md online or soemthing. You’ve run polls here on gag? Just how accurate are they? How many people answer truthfully? And how many people don’t read the whole thing, while others troll.
You can keep your “facts” (which are really just numbers.. no harm there) and I’ll keep mine (first hand experiences with and around those people) lol 👌
- +1 y
I'm not using polls, i dunno where you got that idea. I'm going off personal experience, friend's experiences, family member's experiences, friends of family members, neighbors, shelters, actual examples, not poles, and in most placesm the living in boxes type is rare, its just a tiny fraction, the rest of the homeless people go unoticed by people like you. There are THAT many homeless people in the US.

I personally know a lot of people in most states and I've lived in several myself.

@TheSpaceGnome yeah no..
No no no no lol
Answer me this: Do you know anyone from New York?
I assumed poll because there’s no way you could make those claims about the people in New York. I have city experience and suburban experience- your claims only apply to the suburban experience. A lot of people young bright minds will not be foolish enough to move to New York with a higher rate of living and tax rates than other states. They won’t do that until they have enough savings and a decent job to land a decent living space there. The rest of the homeless and majority of them are lower class people- and thanks to inflation and gentrification increase in numbers, unless they put a stop to it themselves by moving out of state, hustling people, hustling the system, or catching a lucky break with city jobs, etc.

Yes, plenty, I know more people in new york than from anywhere else.

Second highest amount if people i know for an area would be california, which is also mostly cities.

@TheSpaceGnome have you lived in New York? A year at the very least? Do you know anyone in New York? Because if not, you’re depending heavily on word of mouth or polls. You already admitted you don’t use polls- which would be the more logical route in other circumstances, but if you have no legitimate experience there, and don’t have a large source of evidence to support your claims- your statement on homeless people and their types of living conditions, as being a majority or state wide fact, with no room for exceptions, is just silly, and a fallacy. I don’t have to argue this you know, either. I’m just saying your claim isn’t a fact. If anything, that demographic wouldn’t be large enough in the pool of homeless people- it’d be a small minuscule percentage- not nearly big enough to get a law proposal for it, or a heading (section) for it in a school text book
- +1 y
No offense to those demographics 👐 either. I’m sure they’re very capable and all is not lost, and apologies if you at a time resonated with them, personally or remotely. I wouldn’t call it “fact” but if it indeed is they somehow missed my line of eyesight in New York- then they’d be a very small demographic. It certainly wouldn’t be statewide

I think perhaps you should scroll up, also maybe answer my follow request if you want to continue talking, I think we have spammed this person's question with irrelivant topics quite enough.
