Not all men holler the same and most definitely not all women react the same. You're assuming your personal tastes are shared by everyone with the same junk as you... they're almost certainly not.

I couldn't do the street holler because I haven't got the fucking guts, frankly, but I kind of respect those that can do it in a vaguely classy way. Obviously the shout from across the street is generally awful, but I've seen the conversation at the bus-stop, and the "You dropped something.." work amazingly in the past.
