And when they're through doing this, they probably go to one's apartment and do each other.

They are doing it to exert control and show their machismo. When it really shows just the opposite; they are scared little boys. Wah. Me no talk to girls, me need to show power.

Who are the biggest losers in this picture, the putzes sitting on the bench or the dummies waiting in line for Shake Shack?

Last article spoke of construction workers...Constructions workers dressed in black pants and tucked in shirts...Seems like a setup for a good read...

Sure all women who are 50+ would love to be treated like shit by these fucking winners. The tragedy of aging has robbed them of the chance to be rated by lecherous misogynists!

When women turn 50+ they wish men will look at them again.

Ladies, make up your minds. First, you don't like to be degraded, now you don't want to be graded. Which is it?

Boys, if you're gonna play this game, own it. Put the signs down. Let's see your faces. And can I borrow a piece of a paper and a pen? It'll only take a second to write "1".

There is a way for men to talk to women on the street that they find attractive: Just say 'hello' or 'good morning' (afternoon, evening) etc. If some guy yells out something crude at me, I would never respond. But a simple hello or good morning? You could not possibly construe that as harassment. I'm just sayin'. A little tip for the guys out there. It works.

Attractive or not (in this case definitely not), why do some men feel the need to express out loud what they are thinking about women on the street? I see it as a particularly instrusive, and often threatening, form of oversharing. Whether or not you like how we look, guys, keep your opinions to yourself.

Men continue to act like jerks because women keep fucking guys who act like jerks.

#1 has the right answer. Give it back to them. This is the sort of sport only a loser would enjoy. Again, I'll never understand why some men feel the need to do this to women. How would they feel if someone showed this much disrespect to their mom, sister or daughter?

For cultural and historic reasons, I give construction or blue collar guys a pass. Sorry ladies. But these Yuppie fruitcakes are so ball-less they cover their faces.

I guess sexual desire is too difficult a burden to bear for a lot of men so they hand it over to their buddies. "You make up my mind for me."
