In general i wouldnt have thought that women would take this as a compliment. Of course there has to be exceptions, im sure SOME women would take it as a compliment but in most cases I wouldnt have thought so. When you think about it, whistling or shouting something out at a passing woman is probably the dumbest thing a man can do to express attraction to the opposite sex.
If you are talking to a woman, you can compliment her in some way. If you are interacting with her in any way then im sure most of the time a compliment would be well recieved but surely its because the interest you are showing her is being returned? You are interacting with one another.
Some women act and dress for these ridiculous comments from men and they enjoy it. They want to go out for the night and be able to simply walk down the street and have some genius shout something vulgar at them. I dont really understand it myself but each to their own. But in general i would say most women dont want this and it has nothing to do with whether it could be seen as a compliment on any level, its the fact that its unwanted, unwelcome attention from a total stranger. If you cant even walk past someone you have never met before on the street without getting whistled or screamed at then how is that anything other than annoying or intimidating, let alone complimentary?
But then again im of the same sex as the aforementioned genius' so what do i know?
