Victim bragging.

Compound Verb.

Something politically incorrect is said or done regarding an individual which is actually a compliment. The mindset of the target is often as follows.

>Hey!
>Hey Everyone!
>Look At Me!
>I'm so attractive and desirable that some guy spent a ton of time obsessing over me
>He's so obsessed with my beauty that he spent a ton of time imagining me naked
>cuz I'm so hot
>ME
>PAY ATTENTION TO ME

The target of a wolf whistle or cat call can express outrage but the give away is the smile they'll have on their face while doing so.

The following anecdote illustrates victim bragging in process.

I was once walking home from Uni with a girl and some guy catcalled her from a passing car.
She spent the entire remainder of the day telling everyone we met how terrible and demeaning the incident was, all the while wearing a shit-eating grin on her face. That catcall was her proudest achievement that year I'd imagine.
You're just victim bragging.

That catcall had her victim bragging for the rest of the day.
