100 catcalls in a day. Experience how much fun this is NOT. [View all]

And this often starts for girls as soon as they start to develop . . . like at the age of 11 or 12.

So guys, if you're ever tempted to "compliment" a strange woman/girl on the street, despite her lack of interest in you, please don't. And if you're not sure why this would make a woman uncomfortable, check out this video.

Look at the woman's face. Does she look approachable? No. Does she ever smile at the men she's passing? No. Does she make eye contact? No. Does she look the slightest bit interested? No.

Or does she look like she's wrapped up in her own thoughts and/or doing her best to ignore the men around her?

So why do 100 men -- or a man about every 6 minutes -- seem to feel compelled to break into her thoughts, despite being so obviously unwelcome?

Rob Bliss of Rob Bliss Creative makes viral videos for a living and decided to use his craft to shine a light on street harassment, a pervasive issue affecting females around the world. Partnering with actress Shoshana B. Roberts and Hollaback, a nonprofit movement launched by activists to end street harassment, Bliss packaged his production as a PSA and offers viewers a different perspective on the problem.

"I felt like no one had ever really shown what it's like to experience street harassment, more or less," Bliss told The Huffington Post. "No one has -- from a third-party perspective, on the outside looking in -- been able to step back and look at it and watch it happen in front of them."

His intent, he said, was to offer an "unbiased" look at what many women experience on a daily basis. "No messaging. No judgement. Let people view it as it is and talk about," he added.

During filming, Bliss attached a GoPro camera to his back with a chest strap; he wore a yellow backpack, sunglasses and earbuds to look unassuming while walking five to 10 feet ahead of Roberts, who held two microphones in her hands. The actress wore simple clothes for the shoot: jeans and a black, crew-neck T-shirt.
