"It’s not cat calling, whistling is an expression in SA, it can be a cause of shock/surprise/ used in dance and so on."

"I might be wrong, but I don’t think they are actually cat-calling you. That’s just normal friendly behaviour from South Africans ☺️"

Mohawk shared a similar experience:

"When I was younger, they called me Baptista😂😂😂 now I'm skinnier like a UFC fighter so they're too scared to say anything 😂😂😂"

WeLiveInCapeTown speculated about the attention he got:

"Size is quite a draw card in SA. I’m not sure where it stems from, but my hubby is a big guy, and he will often be called boss or chief or big man. He doesn’t actually like it, but it isn’t meant with offence. Size seems to be a cultural respect thing, probably survivalist in nature."

Kiki 🇿🇦 wrote:

"It's just a way we compliment or acknowledge you, not really cat-calling. Cat calling is like 'Hey, my size!'"

Carla Steenkamp doubted the man's experience too:

"I think this man has a beautiful imagination."
