Why do women love attention?

Question

Nik1hil · Accepted Answer

Women have evolved to look for safety and security.

Thus, women fear unsafety and insecurity.

Anything valuable is kept safe and secure.

The valuation of a woman is directly linked to her beauty.

Value is proved by the amount of validation she can gain from men. This included lies that men may or may not speak to get in her pants.

The amount of Attention a woman can grab by being beautiful or anything else adds up to her validation.

The chain goes like ATTENTION > VALIDATION > VALUE > SAFETY > SECURITY.

It fixed her INSECURITIES, UNSAFETY etc. Makes her feel safe and comfortable.

Because they get it from the time they're children. Imagine how fucked up it would feel to just stop getting it, specifically around puberty.

Or you suddenly get more. Ladies have to face a pretty harsh truth around that time in their lives and I think the level and methodology of attention seeking behavior indicates greatly how they went through that period.

Some people just blindly love attention — positive or negative — and need to be front and center of everyone’s attention 24/7.

Others just want the attention of their loved ones, possibly bc it makes them feel safe and secure, possibly bc they’re not mindful of others, and possibly as a result of some trauma that requires them to feel reassured by positive attention.

Yet others seek attention only from their beloved, but offer to give that attention back in return as part of a fluid and genuine exchange of love. (This can also apply to family members as part of healthy mutual attention and affection.)

Sometimes it's hisitronic personality disorder, but in most cases is their appearance the only asset they have and they want use or expoloit it as long it lasts.

It has to do with evolution. For most of human history the man a woman could attract, keep and bare children with could make or break her entire livelihood, even her life. Women had to depend on men as protectors and providers

So physically attractive women had more potential to land a high value male. So when women get attention from men it’s an affirmation of their actual viability. It’s subconscious.

But now we got millions of women who are seemingly content with the sugar high of virtual likes and attention. Sure it gives them quick affirmation but is it really making them happy and fulfilled?

Men crave attention too. But most of us can survive without it. It might depress us but we know how pathetic (and unmasculine) will look if we openly complain about that. We have literally zero leeway to complain if we get little or no attention from women.

Men also know that being physically attractive is not enough for most women. At least not enough for her to stay with us long term. We are held to much higher expectations in other areas of life (career, money, confidence, status, emotional stability, etc.).

I would say people of BOTH sexes love attention whether it’s positive or negative. Men maybe are more show offs you can remember back in a time where boys did stupid things just to show off to the girls, and the girls do things too.

Narcissists also feed off of the attention of others. There’s a LOT of female narcissists it’s all women by any means. In fact the most scary are dark empathic women. There are some women who are VERY empathic but they use they for evil not good.

I would be careful around people who NEED attention. It not only shows they’re insecure but it

I think most people regardless of gender like attention because it can feel good, but specifically women usually seek attention for their looks because a lot of value is placed by society on a woman's beauty I guess.

Not all kinds of attention though, unwanted attentions from strangers are uncomfy. 😬 Such as catcalling while you are walking, creepy compliments, etc.

Most people love attention, except celebrities or people who’ve had enough and are being stalked lol. It gives you confidence boost, makes one feel important and attractive. That’s why people become players

Only women? Even my dogs seek attention. I see it as a natural ' need' ... as long as it's not overdone. But a gentle slap on the snout will fix it :D

I think this will be especially true if the woman is beautiful/gorgeous.

Taniisokay · Answer

I don't like attention but I do give attention to other people.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Not all do, but those who do probably have different reasons. For some it is an ego boast. For others it might just be insecurity. For yet others...

Simple a woman who gets Attention is most likely to get impregnated, and aid for her children.
