1&3. Made partial attempts at #2 but never under ideal circumstances, so eager to try again. Not interested in the rest.

Is this question to me?
Well for the more 'civil' things like actual compliments as opposed to cat-calls and the like . . . it depends on the situation. The last time a guy gave me a compliment as he walked by I blushed and laughed and it made me feel good for the rest of the day. He didn't act unruly or drunk in any fashion. We were walking by each other in the mall and he thought he'd spend half a second saying something about the way I looked.
LOL - okay well it was also Halloween and I was dressed like a slutty nun. I mean, play the gameI didn't mind.
Aside the festive spirit, the more complimentary stuff still doesn't bother me. Might be the highlight of my shitty week, who knows.
Only one time do I recall someone saying something to me about my tits - not necessarily complimentary, more along the lines of a drunk redneck - and because of the state I was in (just spent all night and day in the ER as someone close to me clung to life) I was too drained of energy to feel anything at the time. Only later I actually dwelled on it and ultimately wrote a book about woman who had the power to inflict injury using telekineses.

yeah, should have pointed out that it can be a trigger for anyone who has been sexually assaulted and can often send a survivor into panic attacks.

I wish I had a dollar for every one I have been given.
I ignore them and don't look to see where or who it came from. Having been a professional nude model it takes a lot to get me going these days.

These things only happen to me infrequently because I live in a small liberal college town now, but I lived in and around the OSU campus in Columbus in my twenties, and I got attention constantly from strangers. I'm usually not threatened by it, but for a couple years after my , I was wigged-out if it happened when I was alone. My sister lives in Brooklyn, and she gets harassed all the time, but she's even more self-confident than I am, so she can handle herself in any situation. I'm kind of in awe of her!

Whenever I've received this type of attention (not often - because I don't live in the city where people like that tend to be)... I think they're either drunk, high, or highly mentally unstable.
It doesn't have an emotional impact on me. I don't feel humiliated because someone else is potentially drunk.
And I tend to think they'll find a bench and sleep it off.

To have someone you don't know, yell obscenities at you or mimic sexual gestures is humiliating, especially if it as a public place where there is a lot of foot traffic and lots of other people around. I was mortified, the times it happened to me.
