    The guy might have an internal monologue like “man, she’s hot!” and it escapes into the air as a way to feel like he’s making progress towards getting to sleep with her. I doubt the guys expect it to actually be effective.

    I dunno. I’ve never done it and I’ve very rarely seen it in the wild.

        I’m not advocating for the man in my hypothetical, just suggesting what he might be thinking. Sort of the main conversation in the comments, isn’t it?

          And I’m allowed my opinion that no matter the intent, catcalling is harassment.

          It doesn’t MATTER if the guy thinks the woman is hot. He put his own wants ahead of her comfort and safety.
