Ha ha – Great interpretation, Claudia! And I agree….the cat calls and kissy faces have become part of the charm of the area for me. I know they’re harmless gestures! 🙂

Cat-calling is not strictly a form of courtship as you might think, it`s more a form of loud appreciation, or compliment! As in “I like this one so much I just can`t help letting her know/saying it out loud”. It doesn`t necessarily imply the will nor the availability to start a relationship, that`s why existing relationships (from either part) are not deterrent.
Here in Italy, if the compliments are not vulgar or annoying, women usually reply with a smile which, again, is not and would surely not be interpreted as a flirting response by any man.
Thing is, if ever a latino/mediterranean man wants to hit on you, believe me, you will know. For sure. 😉 So don`t worry, just smile and go on with your business. And remember that, after all, they`re commenting on your BEAUTY, it might not be such a relief if they stop! 😉

Ha ha – I hadn’t thought of it that way! 🙂

Thanks, Andrea! We’re coming along….it’s a very slow process, as is the legal system here in Grenada too. But it could always be worse, so I’ll take my lot! 🙂

So great that you’re assimilating and becoming familiar! How are you and your partner recovering from your accident?

One time I was there, there was a popular song out called She’s Royal by Tarrus Riley so guys would scream out “Yuh royal gyal!” Cracked me up every time.

Maria,
Oh, I don’t know. Most of my black girl friends don’t get cat-called in the same way. Maybe you still get it because you’re just plain smokin’ hot! 😉
Or, maybe it’s different in Puerto Rico.
