lil_g is verified as being by the original poster of the questionfor JohnnyBgood. Most girls do. It mostly depends on how you say it. wistling and yelling " damn you're hot!" is not a good idea, it's disrespectful. But yes, if you say it in a respectful manner most girls will like it. But telling tham they are beautiful or gorgeous etc would probably be a better choice in words, especially if she is a "nice girl", & not a hoochie lol

Do not worry, I am a male too, the only difference is that I am 16 years old. But it doesn't really matters. When a man gets married, he marries the person he loves, but with the age, women start to loose the great body they had. That's why that old man told you that, even though it is pervert.And younger man usually are shy because they are starting this thing called love, and the older people do not have anything to loose by saying that.Believe me, younger guys will always notice that you have a great body, or hair, or smile. etcetera. But they do not say anything.I have one question for you.. Do teenager girls like when a boy tells them that they are hot?I am sorry about my bad english. I am portuguese =)I hope that my answer was helpful

 Ever heard the phrase "Dirty old man?" I think you're seeing that in full effect. As we get older, we care less about what people think. Their thought process is likely, "what harm will come from this? I may actually get a piece or at least this girl will feel attractive." Now, I know this isn't the kind of guy you want to attract, but I'd just take it as a compliment. You may even choose to flirt back. Use it to boost your confidence. Maybe ask them if they have a grandson who is single. :)

 Now I'm not sure what your body type is like but based on my experiences (I tend to get all the old men attracted to me and none of the young ones!) it is because I have a curvy, hourglass shape where I have hips, boobs and a narrow waist. I work out so I am not curvy in the fat sense of the word, but more curvy in the way women used to be in the 40's & 50's. Hence why older men are more attracted to that body shape - they like a woman with curves, with a real figure akin to those they grew up with. Whereas today, the media portrays skinny as attractive, with the body shape of Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie being the "ideal" for many men. Now my body is nothing like their boyish shapes, with no hips and small boobs, with bones jutting out here there and everywhere. Hence why not many younger guys around my age find me attractive, it just tends to be the older ones!
So if you have a body shape similar to mine then this could be a reason why older men are attracted to you as opposed to guys your own age. If not - well I'm afraid I dont have any answers for you that might help you, it just seems you must live in an area where the old guys all feel young at heart and are a bit pervy!
Try not to worry about it too much, you are a young attractive girl and you should not feel bad about this, just learn to ignore the attention and dont think about it. I tend to get car horns beeped at me quite a lot, and random creepy guys trying to talk to me in the street but I have learnt just to ignore it and dont look at them so they give up pretty quickly. I also wear sunglasses a lot, even when the sun isnt out! This means they cant see your eyes, hence it is even easier to ignore them. With sunglasses on men tend not to approach me - they still stare but never try and talk to me.
You will get used to it as you get older, you are just young and this sort of attention makes you feel uncomfortable rather than feeling proud about your body. I'm sure there will be some younger guys that find you attractive - only problem with the younger ones is that they are a bit intimdated by really attractive girls and dont dare approach you. Just give it some time, learn to ignore the weird old men and I'm sure it will all be fine.
I hope this helps and good luck!
