I darned near wrecked my roadster the 2nd day out cuz someone was yelling at me.
Ever since, I play deaf.

In the end, it's a balance between being friendly and staying safe.
Harder perhaps for a beautiful young woman, but you'll get a handle on it.
Oh don't you worry, us women have LOTS of practice PLAYING DEAF!!

I am a master of it when I walk by, guys can howler and whisle and make any kind of silly noise (included, but not limited to: psst psst, AOOOOOW, Yeah etc etc) to get my attention but I just keep walking and never blink. It's like they are not there - Talk to the hand - So cars honking, people yelling, thumbs up etc are not distracting to me, I only turn my head if I know it is really safe to do so (ex: stopped at a red light etc...).
