Why are Men who catcall almost always older men?

[Anonymous]

There's just always a bunch of creepy single older men whether outside, in the club... why?

If an older man has any manners at all, he won’t need to. If he is skilled in the art of charm, he can approach younger women confidently, make her laugh, make her feel safe, and will only approach once she gives him the invite. The creepy older men don’t know how to respect a woman’s personal space, then attempt to touch before given her permission to, “pass go and collect $200.” He must stimulate her mind first. An older man knows how to pick his battles and not to lose his shit over petty issues.


An older man making cat calls only does so because he knows deep down he has no chance.

That's actually a good question and is another example of why men are valued for their resources while woman are valued for their youth. The reason why you see so many older men at the club is because the better the club is the older the guys will be. Worked in the nightclub industry in Vegas for over a decade and there were two types of people that got in last or didn't get in at all.

Young, Broke Guys

Old Woman

Neither of these groups provide value meaning that when you are put at a Mega nightclub the demographic will be a makeup of young, beautiful women and older wealthy men, or at least thats the demographic of a successful club.

younger men r more respectful n taught how to not cross lines

[chris_987]

And the girls who get cat called and aren't used to it, fall in love with those guys because men in there country listened to them.

[laly520]

@chris_987 fall in love? I highly doubt
it feels so damn creepy to get cat called by a stranger

[chris_987]

It's happens all the time you wouldn't notice it because it's not something you think about.

But I know many girls who complain that men and are to aggressive in their country and the men listen and stop being so aggressive. Then the girls complain that there are no real men then they go to places where men are still aggressive and then they feel special again.

[laly520]

@chris_987 messed up shit

[chris_987]

Not messed up, not a lot of women know what they are attracted too. It's based on hard wired biology. So if you fight against it your biology will still find away to get what it wants.

And in a relationship woman want a masculine man and masculine aren't emotional to the point where they do whatever the girl says.

[4ngelic]

people didn't teach them in the old days not to do that

[chris_987]

The newer generation doesn't do that and the women go to third world countries and appreciate it when men cat call them. So I wouldn't listen to anything a girl says about how men should act.

[Anonymous]

I'll start with all people who catcall to women are somewhat creepy in my opinion. Though maybe there's a woman who likes it I've just never encountered.

My take on this is those men have just given up and decided to enjoy making good looking women feel uncomfortable instead of them feeling uncomfy being rejected by good looking women... or their just general jerks who only didn't behave that way earleir in life because they still felt they might have a hope of a relationship.

[Asker]

None of us like it, that’s why it’s called catcalling

[Opinion Owner]

nod. I still think there might be someone who does. Through the years I've been surprised a few times about what certain people are into. I am still baffled by the S&M crowd for example lol.

[KrakenAttackin]

Asker... there are YouTube videos of older women who say they miss being cat called😂😂😂.

[KrakenAttackin]

Having said that I think cat calling is ALWAYS inappropriate.

[Opinion Owner]

@KrakenAttackin lol. Yeah. Always innapropirate whenever leaving any woman feeling demeaned. Agreed.

I sympathise though, there is something odd feeling about the change in the type of attention as you age past certain points. My biggest life lesson recently is I've been too timid my entire life and missed out on so much. Still, lesson is to stop being that way and move forward. It's ironic because I'd say up until the age of 26 / 27 life teaches the best way to be is to hold back and be cautious.

[Finchie40]

I think catcalling is a compliment , I think it’s funny most girls’ say they don’t like being catcalled , but us guys’ love when girls’ catcall at us , but girls’ don’t mind being catcalled it if she is attracted to the guy , so most girls’ are hypocrites when it comes to catcalling , Me personally takes it as a compliment and makes me smile when girls’ notice me and catcall at me. I just got catcalled the other day by a group of girls’ driving by my house while I was taking the trash out , they screamed out the window , saying Hi handsome , I laughed and smiled , so I don’t see why females do t like being catcalled?

[Jackblue]

There is a generational gap. A significant portion of baby boomers came of age in the 1970's when times were different, the sexual revolution had just happened but new feminist ideas hadn't yet become mainstream. Female reluctance was often dismissed as the lingering effect of Victorian sexual repression. This is not a generalization of all baby boomers just some.

[joehypo1]

Without being "creepy" nothing wrong with looking at a pretty young lady as long as your not gawking like some freek, pretty much a lot of creepy dudes out there

[firenine909]

Because older men were the ones who did it back when it was socially acceptable which now it isn’t.


Also screaming out to a girl nice tits kinda goes against the whole flirting angle most men nowadays would rather pursue

[verylovelyguy]

I was at a nice, expensive all you can eat meat buffet with my parents and the guy who made my dad legal and made it possible for me and my mom to come to America. When it was me, him and the waitress at the table, he told the waitress she has nice boobs and he wishes he could touch them

[A_Bell]

I've never seen anyone do this unironically outside of a TikTok or YouTube. Where is this supposed to happen?

[chris_987]

Would you want to be cat called?

[A_Bell]

@chris_987 of all the things people do, this hardly seems to be the worst. Just low class behavior that we get plenty of in many other places.

[chris_987]

Low class? So your high class? What makes you on top of the cast system.

[A_Bell]

@chris_987 you're reading comprehension is low class. I never compared my class to anyone and certainly never proclaimed myself top.

Demeaning behavior done to other is lacking in class. Failure to recognize that suggests the same.

Learn to treat people better.

[chris_987]

So what class are you in? Are you low class or high class. I'm asking you the question now so feel free to answer ot

[A_Bell]

@chris_987 I don't believe in class as a group. I believe in it as a description of behavior.

I. e. being polite and treating people with respect is classy, high in class, behavior.

Being rude, making loud noises in restaurants, picking your nose in front of others, etc, as not being classy, as in being low in class.

People of all artificial social statuses and temporal economic statuses can demonstrate any level of class.

In person, I try to treat people with dignity and respect, so I consider that "high class" or classy. But from an economic standpoint, if you are curious, my parents own an engineering firm (father) and my mom is the head partner in a family law practice, so we were probably higher upper middle class and my husband is an engineer from my father's firm and comes from a fairly well off family.

Personally, I live a pretty middle class life as a stay at home mom, although I have an advanced degree.

[chris_987]

So if you're middle class That doesn't mean you're high class. Do you know how much your family brings in a year and what Country live in?

[A_Bell]

@chris_987 my parents don't tell me their income. My husband made around $200k usd on our taxes last year. I didn't work, so we aren't exactly making a lot.

[chris_987]

200k is upper middle class where I'm from, I make 150k so I'm lower middle

[A_Bell]

@chris_987 👍

[236color]

Younger men have been taught it's not acceptable.

[Asker]

Good

[lil_will_12]

yep, dont worry guys, i won't do this👍

you shouldn't even need teaching, it should be common sense, in my opinoin

[Dongie]

It's because when they were young, back in the good old days when liberalism and feminism were still sucking a teat, there was nothing viewed as wrong with the outward style of flirtation, as tho there is now. Your history lesson.

[sheikalana]

They're part of a generation who think it's appropriate to do such thing.

[jamesgoldman]

Because younger males have been told it's wrong to do

[Iron_Man]

it’s funny man can’t do it but women can and I’ve been cat called and liked it as a badge of honor

[DreamLife7]

I've hardly seen older men do it. It's commonly annoying young guys

[standardguy]

Because its the only sexual act they are able to do with the female. They have no chance to kiss or f*** her.

[Anonymous]

It is not older men so much as it is immature men.

[Anonymous]

You answered your own question, and it's because they're low lifes.

[jjj101010]

Could be older men have more confidence or it could be generational thing

[postaldudePL123]

I'm surprised It still happens. Although I've never witnessed it l.

[Anonymous]

They're not, but whatever.
