I say this because most of the wolf-whistles I've heard are often accompanied by the guys staring at your ass/boobs or throwing in a few degrading comments which signify that they want to fuck you. It would be different if they whistled and smiled at you nicely and told you that they think you are attractive... but most of the time the whistling is followed by uncomfortable gawking at certain body parts and rude comments.

I've been whistled at before and it always makes me feel so uncomfortable, like I'm just a piece of meat walking past that they all want to fuck.
