The Honk.

Ok, so what is this about? I am going to stray from specifically writing a story about some complement and ask a general question: what the hell does the “honk” mean? So, I was walking my dog today, I guess I am adhering to the normal format. Anyway, as we were beginning our walk I hear: “hey! Yeah, girl, uh huh!” Then, “honk, honk.” There were three guys in a scruffy looking, light blue, work truck “calling” to me. I am certain that this honk had relatively little to do with my actual physical attractiveness. I have known people that I feel are not the most attractive of people, none of which are my friends, tell of how they too have been honked at. Attraction, I think, is beside the point; the question to ask is what exactly are these guys hoping to accomplish? Do these men think that by honking it forces some hormone to excrete from the female and cause them to be overwhelmingly attracted to them? I mean, if that is the thought it is completely wrong or I am not excreting the correct amount of the hormone.
I did think while I was picking up my dogs feces, after the honking episode, “what if next time I am honked at I walk over and say hi.” Nothing more, just hi; would they talk to me? What if I was swept off my feet by some random guy in a truck? That might be cool! Why are they always driving trucks, it doesn’t matter, I am going to do it! Next time someone honks at me he is getting my phone number!
So, really, what the hell does the honk mean? If you know please enlighten us all!
