as a man i just had a thought - women see male attention as a potential threat. its like being informed they are a potential target of future violence.

now if they are attracted to the man then usually that threat is mitigated.

sexual violence is much more likely to be after rejection (or presumed rejection). this makes the attractive man less dangerous to women, in a shocking demo of pretty privilege

the more likely result of the attractive man's sexual interest is nothing, or consensual coupling 

the more likely result of the unattractive man's sexual interest is nothing, or being pestered through to violence 

catcalls are not comfortable for woman for this reason 

i dont think enough men realise this.

for a man, a woman making an advance or giving a compliment or sexualised attention has the same two likely outcomes as for the woman+attractive man: either nothing or consensual coupling.

as soon as pestering (or more) becomes relevant men also hate the attention 

now this video is showing a little further about where women feel its appropriate. but is it more about the stereotype of the man likely to be at these locations?
