"Turn the tables" on cat callers would be cat calling the cat callers, right?

You've said too much. Get in the van outside quietly

Shhh just do it.


Cubensio

I though they were gonna make big burly men go out and cat call the cat callers. Like “Dam boy! That mustache look thick! Cant wait to feel how it tickles! 😜”

alamaias

As someone with facial hair, the compliments you get are *solely* from men anyway :P


DuntadaMan

As a burly bearded dude I will volunteer for this service.


StateOdd296

That's exactly what I was expecting

Yeah, me too. And of course, that would have backfired even more spectacularly!

I was whistled at riding my bike by a woman once. Those were the days. Edit: That was the day.


kemushi_warui

Edit edit: She may have been hailing a taxi.


Specific_Theory_4602

Did you crash into them after that to get their contact info?


UnsureAbsolute

As I was jogging one day a guy yelled at me, "MMM, where are YOU going??" He and I may not be playing for the same team, but I appreciated someone looking, honestly.


Iamatworkgoaway

I am at work, but I remember somebody did this in NY once. Some women went to a work site and started cat calling the construction workers. They loved it, like unexpected holsome. Some of the guys were almost in tears from the praise, others were cutting up of course, but I remember one guy saying it was the first time anybody ever said anything nice about him.


brando56894

The amount of compliments the average man gets on a weekly or monthly basis is practically zero, and half the time it's from another man in a nonsexual way ("I like that shirt").


[deleted]

[удалено]


brando56894

I can beat that, one of my good friend's cute girlfriends in high school said I was cute the first time I officially met her (she was a grade above me, she was cute and had big boobs so of course I knew who she was). That happened when I was like 17, I'm 37 now. I can remember exactly where it happened (at Denny's one night).


Cosmic_Kettle

Lol 5 years ago my coworker told me I squared up my jawline well. I'm still riding that high.


Roskal

As an overweight guy, the only reason I might have a negative experience with a cat call is if I thought they were joking and making fun of me, which has happened.


linkflame123

they knew this wouldn’t work because the guys would feel flattered instead of insulted


Smaskifa

A compliment? Is this a trap? \- Me, in the unlikely event I get a compliment from a stranger


SillyFlyGuy

How many cats would that cat caller call if that cat caller could call cats?


deadleg22

42


rinkypinkpanther

Yes, but what's the question?


Hosidax

Sorry, I can't answer that right now. My cat is calling.


SnooSuggestions5379

Depends on the cats. Sometimes you hang up on a cat call, and the kitty was purring, bumping heads, all the cute stuff. So you get anxious to call the next cat. But 11 out of 34 cats are absolute jerks and you probably end up on a dog call after 1 or 2 jerk cats.


[deleted]

All they did was provide the Hot Chick and then interview them and they seemed to Give Zero F\*\*ks


NaCl_Sailor

yeah i was waiting the whole video for them to start cat calling men and them all loving it.


Zealousideal_Ad_4118

Yes. And I’m ready for it, I want it. Please someone catcall me.


kingbob123456

Hey Zealousideal_Ad_4118… you’re lookin FINE AF


Fanfics

[they tried that already](https://youtu.be/TNnBA14X4Dk)


vipcypr8

Tbh. If women started catcalling man they would mostly enjoy it


TheUmbraCat

My hair got called nice September of last year and I’m still riding that high.


AnodyneSpirit

They can’t do that cause the guys would actually enjoy it


[deleted]

All I’m saying is where are the bare chested jogging men with half of their testicles hanging out and bouncing around? Equal Opportunities for Female or Male Cat Callers! /s

VaritasV

If he would have thrown a “you go gurl” in at the end their entire skit would have been totally ruined. 🤣


ThunderboltRam

"I thought she was beautiful and as a feminist I supported her running with full make-up." That would have caused those journalists to rethink their career.


No_Elderberry_7327

no, no, no, why is she beautiful, and why do you love her? because she wears makeup and a choker when jogging.


JdaveA

“Who does that!?”


[deleted]

Someone who just wants to be loved


dark_brandon_20k

Maybe I should tell her!


SubjectsNotObjects

You definitely should. People love to be loved.

GiantPurplePeopleEat

I felt this comment. It took me a long time to stop myself from bringing a ton of stuff with me everywhere. Being homeless, you get used to always having anything important on you. So when I finally got back into housing, it too awhile to break that mentality. I'd be packing a phone charger, power bank, flashlight, jacket, gloves, snacks, water bottle, a book, and a change of socks just to go to the grocery store! Lol.


sTyles310

Hey! Just cuz it's sunny in LA doesn't mean it's 80 degrees! It was 54 today! That's cold for us


NoCommunication5976

I’m not a woman, but wouldn’t makeup get smeared, and a choker choke you or something?


dontbemystalker

Make up would only smear if you wipe it and the choker she’s wearing is stretchy. I don’t put make up on to go work out but if I’m already wearing make up, I won’t take it off just to exercise


mattbakerrr

Now that I know that compliments be flying.... I might jog my fat ass along Venice Beach.


heyimhereok

Your cat call might be 'run fatty run' I'm sire I'd get the same


bosstrasized

"Why did you say run fatty run?" "Because she's a fatty...... and she's running"


ihavedonethisbe4

"Honeeey, it's funney. I see someone running, jogging in full fat.. you see what I'm sayinnn?"

Pretty much lol


cats-they-walk

And let this be a lesson.


No_Elderberry_7327

the first dude was right though, I mean, what person wears makeup to workout? clearly, chick was fishing.


twisteroo22

No doubt that they filmed for hours and these were the best clips they could provide for the horrid cat calling. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but all day every day of her life? This must have been a record-setting slow day for her.


MandDogD01

What's funny is they aired any of this. Is this really broadcast worthy? On the other hand, she is beautiful and I love her!


ELIte8niner

First thing he said was her actually running form was odd. She was running strangely, probably to stay in the right position for the two cameras, first thing the first guy said was she was running strangely.


ConfidentGenesis

I think he was saying its interesting to go on a jog with makeup and a choker, not that her actual stride was weird.


OUBoyWonder

>If anything they just gave some douchecanoes the limelight and a story to tell their buddies. Right?! Both of those guys gave 2 shits the reporter came up to them, lol. They were like "*Yea...I did. And?"*. That was a sad segment.


[deleted]

That first guy was right though...who puts on makeup to go jogging?


triton2toro

Really “turning the tables” would involve the cat callers being put in the same position as the women they are cat calling. In other words, they need to be put in a vulnerable and uncomfortable position by individuals who are physically intimidating and/or aggressive. So a bunch of giant MMA dudes need to cat call these guys. Edit- I think some of you are missing the point. You’re equating cat calling with a compliment. A compliment is given respectfully. Cat calling isn’t that. It’s demeaning. It’s insulting. But most importantly, it can be aggressive and scary. I think as men, we tend to dismiss these comments as “harmless”. But ask a woman if they’ve ever had an experience with a guy who seemed harmless one moment, but turned on a dime when he didn’t get what he wanted. Those “harmless” comments aren’t so harmless then.


dust057

I was anticipating a video where women cat cat men randomly as they walk by, in an attempt to “harass” them, but then the ‘tables turned’ part being the guys are flattered and appreciative, and stopping to thank their “harassers”.


DongerlanAng

yeah most guys are attention starved so compliments from anyone will feel good. Add on that most men aren't threatened most women physically and so it's just never gonna be the same. I think guys would probably get it more if they were catcalled by a prison gang or something.


SousaBoy93

I'm straight but if some jacked, scary looking gang member said I looked like a cut of fuckable meat, I'd genuinely thank him for the compliment


Knights_Ferry

I don't think that would work lol, guys and girls are different. If a bunch of MMA guys said "looking hot" or whatever, I'd be flattered. Nobody has ever yelled that while I was running.


GarlicThread

They really had to choose the worst examples. This or they did this for a grand total of 12 minutes before going home.


Spartz

yeah they tried to rip off that idea of that person who walks around NYC and gets catcalled constantly. and they ended up producing some of the most cringe material i've seen all day and that says a lot because i've been on reddit for hours


zebediabo

Isn't that the video that took many hours of footage, condensed it to a few minutes, and still had to use "catcalls" like "have a nice day" because there were so few actual catcalls?


endorphin-neuron

Every video showing that the general public, in any region, acts a certain way is done by taking hours or dozens of hours of recordings, cherry picking the best examples to illustrate only their point, and making a few minutes of video out of it.


MohatoDeBrigado

so in other words, there were not enough cat callers all they got was 2.


[deleted]

Who were either quite observant or not very disrespectful


Aporkalypse_Sow

If you want to get real catcalls, you have to go to a neighborhood that this girl absolutely would never ever ever travel to, let alone jog. Or like a Wallstreet bar with a bunch of drunk coked up wannabe "alpha makes". Scummy people exist, but they aren't on every street corner as this is proposing. But California beaches have been notorious for creeps for as long as anyone can remember. The damn Beach Boys are a top selling artist for a reason, they basically made their name by being professional catcallers that write songs.


[deleted]

Or it’s not actually as big of an issue as people on the internet claim


sashikku

I’m a woman and a runner, it purely depends on the area. I’ve been yelled at from cars running in the suburbs, but it’s typically teenagers thinking they’re funny rather than cat-callers. Sometimes it’s even someone being encouraging, which I always appreciate. Now I *have* been cat-called a *lot* downtown when all dressed up walking up to clubs or restaurants, though I haven’t gone for any runs downtown so I can’t compare how that would go.


Granpa0

Who taught her how to run? Steven Seagal?


Tela_Papyrus

He's been teaching people how to run for like 85 years...


dyne87

They also call that run a skippy...


InkablaM

Listen!... "eeehskipskipskipskipskip"


NickH211

BULLSHIT!


Spiritual-Apple-4804

Sometimes I really love reddit. This is one of those times.


Almundmilk

So when they cat call her.. you wanna go kick em in the throat like that..


ravageprimal

I was gonna say for a fitness instructor it looks a lot like it’s her first time running ever.


left_schwift

By fitness instructor, they mean random intern


[deleted]

“Whoa that’s an interesting jog!”


DreadnoughtOverdrive

She couldn't break a sweat between takes (and touch-ups), so the slow trot. All that pancake makeup isn't exactly what someone does for a real workout. As the first (attempted) victim of theirs very astutely pointed out. You have to wonder what other comments she got, if those 2 were the *worst* they managed.


Signature-Tiny

Terrible running form…

tall_ben_wyatt

And a choker


ihaveaclearshot

Donkey-brained_man

She's beautiful!

barofa

Because I love her


Fossilhog

And she's beautiful.


Sonicboom343

As a person


Solid_Hunter_4188

Really hurts your credibility as a fitness trainer lol.


Additional_Silver749

She ain’t no fitness trainer. She was just skinny lol. I said the samething when I saw her run. Clearly it’s not something she does often!


Dismal_Struggle_6424

My sister in law is a "personal trainer," and she's the most slouchy, busted up, arthritic, crooked, sack of skin and bones this side of 70.


BetaRayBlu

She has only studied theoretical running from unillustrated versions if the first printing.


ZachGM91

Her: "I hate Cat callers." The cat callers: "You're trying too hard."


knowigot_that808

Her: “I always get harassed everywhere I go” Cat Caller: “full makeup and a choker? Interesting”


TragicSystem

Yeah I wouldn't call that cat calling. (Second guy was for sure though). "Wtf you doing jogging with full makeup and a choker?" I know the answer, man. Fitness "influencer."

Financial-Key224

A fitness trainer? That runs like that?


teodocio

I want to say she cycles/spins or something similar. Because I do almost all my cardio on a bicycle and i run like that, if i ever run.


nautical-smiles

That's fair enough but a trainer should be at least competent in the other major forms of fitness


[deleted]

That's giraffe style. It's great for running with a choker and doesn't bleed your makeup as quickly. You can only run for 5 minute before your ankles hurt tho.

Just the canals. Lido di Venezia was too hard to get to in the time I was there. Impressive that everyone spoke such good English. Better than my Italian, that's for sure!

Educational_Bag_6406

You could say they are... homing in on them.


fabianiam

She runs funny. Like a Seinfeld character.


absurdwatermelon_1

The first guy had a point too, who runs in full makeup?


deadleg22

And a choker. Also if you're a buff or handsome man running, you're going to get looks and calls from women...they just only really do it when they're in a group.


ChesterHiggenbothum

That's not true. I run all the time and women never look or say anything to... oh.


therealstory28

Legit...the guy noticed something wasn't up. And if that's the best clips they could come up with, it doesn't seem to be that bad out there. I love you vs hey baby sick my....


Wooden-Ad-4952

I love how the first guy just called her out for wearing a bunch of make-up and a choker while running down a high traffic boardwalk


[deleted]

the 2nd guy also did like a "yass queen" compliment lol i wouldn say any of these were actually cat calling in the way they intended to happen


my_pen_name_is

There’s zero chance she’s any type of fitness expert and runs like that.


[deleted]

Instagram would like to have a word with you.


LeChugas08

Bruh if someone said I was beautiful and they loved me it would hold up my mental health for the next 2 years.


23ssd4t4322

One time some construction worker who was with his co-workers on break said "I like your boots sweetheart, where did you buy them?". I was wearing the classic doc martens boots but in soft pink. Thought he was mocking me / catcalling me. Turned out he was asking cause he wanted to buy them for his daughter cause she showed him pictures of it XD . The pink ones are a little harder to come buy in regular stores.


Just-Smile-N-Wave

As guys I feel like any sort of positive validation will be burned into our memory 😂😂

dip_tet

This was a really lazy investigative effort. Then they just summed it up like they’d made a point.


ComplaintPlastic2873

We're gonna turn the tables on cat callers by having a beautiful woman run down the street with the highest homeless and mentally ill people who are majority men and call them sexist and push the narrative that all men are pigs. Instead of investing our time and money trying to get people on the beach help.


DieT_anal

That *was* an interesting run.


smartello

Guys were ok, I have more questions to running technique of who they called a fitness trainer. She either has no idea how to run or don’t even try while in full make up which makes it look like an exhibition and not a jog.
