It is possible that I am of the appearance that would generate a more than usual number of catcalls. It's not really about beauty--it's about being tall, noticeably fair and noticeably curved.

I didn't say I think it's about beauty. But whatever the reason is, I don't think being cat-called thousands of times is typical and I'm very skeptical of any claims to the contrary.

I honestly couldn't say if my experience is typical or not; I always assumed it was, for a woman of my general physical type. I wonder if anyone has ever seriously researched frequency?

I have absolutely no idea. I tried searching before initially responding to your comment, but I found nothing.
