I saw most of the comments as welcoming some sort of interaction, the majority not being very courteous when taken in context and as a whole though.

For instance "there goes a thousand dollars" could be a reference to a prostitutes fee/value.

I bet there were many more flattering and friendly comments, but they did not make the editor's cut as they would not further the agenda being promoted here.

An acknowledgment of one's presence is often welcomed, and being treated as invisible is not.

I suppose much of the street commentary would depend on who is giving the attention. A well dressed and handsome man saying "well - hello there" would be expected to be more charming and acceptable than some guy with a backpack and tattered hip hop clothes saying "well - hello there".

Did she ever smile?

Thirty years from now I suspect this woman will miss some of the attention, certainly not all of it.

I should note that on a recent Porsche fall color tour I found myself in a somewhat awkward situation. A mile down the road from the last p-car stop (a cider mill out in the country) is a truck stop/gas station mini-market (very rural/blue collar). My buddy and I used the toilet rooms and we walk out at the same time as these two young women, which are dressed way more fancy/upscale (and sexy?) than what normal cider mill apparel would require.

I sort of felt like I had to acknowledge their presence, to at least avoid dinging doors as they had parked next to us. I waited so they could open their doors first even though they exited the building after us.

I said something like; "where are you girls going all dressed up like that?" They looked over at me and they both hustled into their car like I had offended them.

I live in a college town where you can talk to complete strangers, be it in line at the coffee shop or just about anywhere. It applies to all ages, not just college folk.

How come everyone outside of a college town is so stuck up?

The posted video would had been a waste of time if filmed in a college town, you would just think she knew everyone or was invisible.
