To any catcalling experts:

I look female. I go out on my own or with other female-looking young adults rather often. I live in a poor neighborhood. Why have I never gotten catcalled? I am ugly and dress unfemininely and shabbily, but Internet feminists claim this doesn't reduce catcalling much, and men do sometimes politely hit on me.

For an extra anecd, I mean, datapoint, I asked my wife - she remembers being catcalled once, when she was wearing some extra-short shorts - which she stopped wearing after that.
