Yep! It’s some entitled dude who believes how he views you is some sort of gift to you and that you should be grateful enough to want to have sex with him. It’s also street harassment, meant to remind women that we don’t “belong” in public.

Exactly. That guy is neither giving feedback, nor does he have consent. But I do appreciate when someone gives me grooming feedback (e.g. I didn’t know I smelled bad, or when hairs started growing out of my ears and nobody I knew told me; a stranger pointed it out) Or good advice on how to handle a social situation.
We all have blind sides and I never cease to be amazed that most people don’t want their blind sides reflected back. I consider myself on the autistic spectrum and this is one area in which I bond with other ASD people.

Sure. Good advice from people you trust should always be welcome (although sometimes even then, people can give you unsolicited advice that doesn’t help).
Again, true. I always thought that a mark of a true friend is that that friend will be willing to give you an honest critique when you ask for it.
But I don’t think that catcalling and street harassment qualifies as any of those things.

It doesn’t; it’s unsolicited and self serving. Many men often give unknown women compliments as a way of trying to ingratiate themselves, then get irate if such a ploy fails.
