What should I say when I get a catcall?

Oh, there are so many funny options! You could try responding with a cheesy quote or come up with a witty retort that leaves them speechless.

Is it okay to laugh at catcalls instead of getting upset?

Honestly, laughter can be our best shield sometimes! If a catcall is too ridiculous, turning it into a joke might just make your day better, and theirs more confusing!

Can turning a catcall into a compliment be funny?

Absolutely! If you play their game and give them an over-the-top compliment in return, it can totally catch them off guard and make for a hilarious moment.

Are there any comebacks that work better than others?

It really depends on your mood and the situation. Sometimes a simple 'Really?' with a smirk works wonders, or a sarcastic 'Wow, you're a poet!' does the trick!

Should my comebacks be creative or straightforward?

Whichever makes you feel happier and more empowered! Creative ones can be fun, but straightforward ones get the point across quickly. Do what feels right for you!

@Samantha Catcalling is most DEFINITELY not a compliment and you shouldn't encourage the men who do it by saying "thank you" or accepting it.

Or just accept a compliment and move along with your day. Even if you don't appreciate it, why does it matter what some guys said. Get over it.
