Why do women need so much attention?
(Don't worry ladies- my next question will be 'why are guys such idiots')
Attention is actually something that everyone loves, regardless of gender. So I think it's wrong to think that only girls like attention so much. But yes, I accept that some girls are too fond of attention and they show it. Some of them may have logical reasons for loving receiving attention but others are completely spoiled.
You know, human beings are inherently social creatures. Attention from others can foster connections and interactions, allowing girls to engage with different perspectives, build relationships, and share experiences.
Mostly, girls want their self-esteem boosted. And attention can easily boost their self-confidence and self-esteem. Compliments, kind gestures, and acts of attention can make girls feel good about themselves, boosting their self-image and creating a positive emotional state.
Additionally, societal and media influences play a huge role in shaping individuals' preferences and behaviors. In some cultures or through media portrayals, girls may be encouraged or expected to seek attention, leading to the belief that attention is desirable.
When it comes to receiving attention, women have various ways of capturing the spotlight. Here are a few common ways in which women often draw attention:
Firstly, women often get noticed by pursuing their interests and passions. Whether it's excelling in their careers, engaging in creative pursuits, participating in sports, or actively contributing to their communities, their accomplishments can catch the eye and inspire admiration.
Personal style and appearance can also be a way for women to stand out and get attention. Expressing themselves through fashion, grooming, and accessorizing allows them to show off their unique tastes and creativity, sparking conversations and leaving a lasting impression.
Plus, confidence and self-assurance are attractive qualities that naturally draw attention regardless of gender. When women exude self-assurance, they captivate others with their charisma and presence. By speaking up for themselves, sharing their ideas, or embracing their individuality, they just radiate a magnetic aura.
Showing attention to women is all about expressing respect, appreciation, and genuine interest in their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This could be a really good start to strengthen the bond between you.
First and foremost, practice active listening. When engaging in conversations, give your full attention and maintain eye contact. Show genuine interest in what they have to say by actively listening and responding thoughtfully. Asking follow-up questions show that you value their perspective and are engaged in the conversation.
Also, respecting personal boundaries is crucial. Personal boundaries are very important for most women. You should pay attention to cues and non-verbal signals to ensure you're not overstepping any boundaries. Each individual has their own comfort levels and preferences, so it's essential to be attentive and responsive to their needs.
Compliments can go a long way in showing attention and appreciation. Offer sincere compliments about their appearances, achievements, skills, or personal qualities. Be specific and genuine in your praise, as it shows that you've noticed and value their unique attributes.
Communication is key when a woman is interested. She may engage in meaningful conversations, actively listening and asking questions to get to know you better. She might show genuine curiosity about your life, interests, and experiences, seeking to establish a deeper connection. You should be aware of such small signals.
Women often display attentiveness as a sign of interest. They may remember even the smallest details and anecdotes you've shared, demonstrating that they value your thoughts and experiences a lot. Small gestures like remembering your preferences or surprising you with something meaningful can indicate their interest.
Playfulness and teasing are often ways women show interest. You know, light-hearted banter, teasing, and inside jokes can indicate a level of comfort and attraction. It's their way of creating a fun and enjoyable dynamic, encouraging a deeper connection to develop.
Women, like anyone else, may seek attention for various reasons that are unique to their individual desires and motivations. However, it's essential to remember that not all women want attention in the same way or to the same extent.
They want attention because they may be seeking social validation. I mean, positive attention can boost their self-esteem and make them feel valued and appreciated by others. They like this feeling maybe.
They may also want to express themselves in this way. Attention can offer women a platform to express their unique qualities, talents, and perspectives. By seeking attention, they can be seen, heard, and acknowledged, allowing for personal growth and self-discovery.
For whatever reason, many people, men and women, like attention. The fact that they want attention from you may mean that they like you, but not always. Sometimes women only want attention because they want approval. The reason behind this varies from person to person.
The real answer that girl (most girls) get there self worth from people around them, when you don't think highly of your own opinion then you look for other to validate your existence.
I could be wrong but that's what I've observed from the female species.
Because girls are fragile creatures that need men to help tend to their frail, emotionally high maintenance, delicate ways hahah JK FEMINAZIS !!!
Because everyone likes it to some extent.
And tbh, we condition women to have low self esteem so they can seek validation and assurance from others.
Men don't care about confidence, and I think they secretly want her to have low confidence because then he could either be a) her knight in shining armor to "save" her from others or even herself, b) manipulate her and possibly abuse her or just take advantage that she doesn't love herself enough to not put up with shit. Obviously not all men are that cynical and some may not even know they're actually doing it.
But society loves unconfident, attention seeking women. From your Kim K's, to companies like makeup, Victoria Secret, etc that make you feel like you *need* their products to satisfy the attention you *need*.
Even "noble" companies and campaigns like Dove and "love your hair" or Aerie and "no photoshop" benefit and profit from women's lack of self confidence and thus need for attention.
It goes deeper than we all like to think, and takes more than "just love yourself and fuck what everyone else thinks" to overcome. And even then, it only fixes few individuals, doesn't really address how society breeds that mindset in the first place.
@cchris989 I cannot say as I'm not a man. I can't speak much on that because I'm not experiencing my life as a man
@cchris989 I'd say, for me, it was more forced. I never really enjoyed much dolls, I had them because my foster parents bought me them.
I would always prefer playing with my brothers remote control cars and planes.
I remember when I was younger, I loved Buzz Lightyear and I cried and begged for his boots. My foster mom eventually caved and bought me them. On the condition that I wear more dresses. So I was that weird girl with pink frilly dresses and boys BL boots lol
That you consider yourself weird beef you played with action figures only reinforces the stereotypes that's society puts on people. It could also be possible that the more you where told not be a certain way the more you wanted to be that person.
So do actually believe that gender is something that is forced on children by society and that it's not biological? Because then how do you explain girls (when there young) being more intamate and wanting to play more domestic games like house instead of tag? It's a silly question but it's one we all struggle with.
@cchris989 I don't know. I'm just weird. I remember in kindergarten, a boy wanted to play house with me. I pushed him and said "I'm nobody's wife" lol I was like 5 or 6!
I never felt it as a "let me rebel" type of thing, I've always been more into "guy stuff" while my foster mothers and biological mother and sisters tried their best to keep me as feminine as possible
If a woman is acting like this, the chances are you aren't fulfilling her needs. Speaking from personal experience, I only ever get like this if I feel that I haven't spent much time with my other half or if he constantly chooses others over me (eg. last night I fancied romantic movie night. My boyfriend was busy playing with his friends, I knew he had a hard day, so I had romantic movie night with him completely unaware in the room). If he hadn't spent all day with his parents decorating I would have made him come and spent at least some time with me.
Of course, sometimes you're ill, or you are just feeling cuddly. Same with men. But generally, it's because she isn't happy overall.
I have no idea. But I give myself plenty attention, I take care of my body and brain. I meditate. Do yoga and work out. If more girls were confident they wouldn't need other people's validation or attention.
Hahaha yes sir!

Because attention validates me.
Attention lets me know you're still interested in me.
As a friend
As a lover
As a coworker
As a sister, a daughter, a niece, a granddaughter
If we don't pay attention to the ones we love or care about, they start to feel negatively about who they are and where they stand in the lives of people who said they cared about them.
i dont know, i dont think its just a female thing. but i personally do love attention. not from everyone, not 24/7, but when im in a relationship for example it is one of my favorite things. just love being appreciated and admired.
I don't need attention and I certainly dont ask for it. Why do guys want so much attention from women and when they get it, they do nothing or start ignoring them as if they don't want it?
People need to feel wanted and appreciated. Part of that is getting attention. Some need more attention than others, from lovers and friends alike. It's just how they experience love. Look into Love Languages, that'll explain a lot.
"And I mean all of them- ..., I'm going to comment we aren't all the same!!"
Lol yeah.. right.. makes perfect sense 😂
Anyways, don't ALL HUMANS need attention here and then?
I don't know. For me I just like feeling cared for and noticed. It's nothing bad and most every girl feels like this everyonce in a while. But the attention is nice and makes us feel good
If a women asked this same question about men you would be whining like a little bitch
And men are the ones who give women attention
Nah looks like you got the whining covered...
No its just you little cry baby ☺
Ha ha you even whined in your details
If you dont give us attention, how will we know that you care? The girl you give the most attention to is the one you care about the most. And if we like you we want to be the one you care the most about!
i personally dont always need attention i like my alone time a lot. but some women want attention to feel important. i personally been with a guy who always wanted my attention though
Some gals are not like this drama shit. So yeah generalization. I mean I have met plenty of idiot guys but I know they are not all the same.
Because women like to feel valued and wanted. You ever notice how MOST older women get boobjobs or implants or still get their hair done? It's because they want to feel valued and wanted. Us guys dont care bout that shit lol
Insecure, immature women need constant attention. Some people with mental illnesses such as Borderline Personality Disorder and Narcissism crave constant attention.
Girls are very insecure, unconfident and need validation...
That is why guys start liking confident girls. A girl who respects herself, can deal with problems and is above all the stupid game stuff.
because they like it
or perhaps it could be that they need to feel wanted and loved
We need to be reminded you like us since there's so much societal driven unattainable beauty surrounding us constantly about what we should be.
because guys love to give us attention for free.
