Frequently asked questions
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!

Tallulah: This weren't even with a man it was with a girl
Scarlet: The best comeback is to ignore them like they're nothing😎
Tallulah: Thanks this made me win my argument xxx
Inna: Most certainly very helpful
Taylor: Catcalls are hilarious. Some men are just losers
Inna: That was the best article I've come across
Samantha: 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.
BrittanyBAKER: I hate being catcalled! It's so immature and disrespectful. Like @Taylor said, definitely losers.
Kira: @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.
