I think most women naturally have middle child syndrome lol Nah i think it's more biological than one can understand. Their bodies go through cycles of hormonal changes daily which make them feel the need to be validated all most the time if not by on another it's by men. But men don't give them the exact response they get from each other hence why men are always guilty by default. However, this also applies to some men out there with deficiencies lol or aka bitch ass mother f**ers 😋
Everyone loves attention. It feeds the ego. For women I think it’s driven by two things. One is because in a patriarchal society where men hold key positions of authority and visibility, women are often overlooked or seen as subservient. That’s wrong and unfortunate. The natural response to that is to seek more attention in order to level the playing field. Secondly, in my opinion women’s bodies lend themselves to drawing attention, largely because there are more erogenous zones that, unrevealed, are visually attractive to men. It’s sexuality, plus society’s standards for women (clothing, colors, makeup, jewelry, hair design, etc.) that allow them to stand out. Standing out draws attention. I appreciate that women can and need to stand out and draw attention.
I have to admit that I do like receiving attention, because it really does reinforce self-confidence levels when they're low. Besides, I deserve the attention, because it's a fact that I'm the centre of the universe and the most important person on the planet! :P
Because the most beautiful girls have the pick of any guy they desire. The more attention she is given the more clarification that she is the highest prize and can ultimately pick the best guy. Also if a guy sees that ten other guys are interested in the girl he likes, he will want her so much more.
A woman wanting attention from guys is the same as guys wanting to screw around with lots of women. The woman and man in both instances have low self esteem and need their fixes to feel good about themselves. If men would stop having their tongues out when women dress for attention and women have more respect for themselves and not give their bodies to everyone, the world would be different but unfortunately, that's not the case.
The men who seek this type of woman continue to validate their attention seeking behavior. It’s a cycle.
We must also acknowledge that there are men out there that don’t seek this type of woman AND that there are women out there that don’t seek attention.

There are ways an ego is fed for both men and women. Attention is something that feeds women's egos. It makes most of us feel good, wanted, and remembered. I think it only gets shallow when we're low because some of us can crave it and some of us don't care which guy it comes from. Sometimes, (some women) will even accept it from men their not interested in where their interest only goes as deep as the attention they are receiving.
I personally don't. Its a phobia of mine, but this isn't a woman specific thing. It does boost ego for some, but let's be honest, there are a lot of guys out there who would crave a bunch of attention from females too.
I get where you were going with this but you did it wrong lol. Everyone loves attention but women can get away with posting selfie’s online and they get it because men give it too easy. A hoes a hoe stop simpin fools.
Oh I agree with you, but if guys never simped like that the hoes would still be hoes because they love attention even from women, especially if it stirs up competition.
Have a friend read it and see what they think. I feel like you have a good point but are failing to articulate it. Seems like a paradoxical statement to me.
@jahaims what I said is fine. But if you want a deeper answer. This isn't really about attention. It's more about being desired. If woman doesn't feel desired then they don't feel valued
@Apple1996 Except the sad part is that getting attention is not equal to being loved. Do you think all these airheaded chicks on Instagram who have nothing but selfies on their pages are actually loved by all the guys who click Like and comment?
@Kingofkings1992 it's cause y'all ain't getting my point. Attention isn't something that women like. They're seeking attention so they can feel important/loved/cared for. Some people might feel loved by getting a hug. That doesn't mean they necessarily like hugs.
@ManOnFire to your update, any girl saying that men love attention don't understand men well enough. Men like attention given to their dicks and thats about it
I do it a lot, especially in real life. I can attest to the truth that it indeed hurts their ego like mad when you don't pay attention to them. Especially the ones who act like snobs just waiting or hoping you'll say something to them so they can have a reason to try to disregard you or act stuck up. Women HATE it when you can see what they're trying to do and you don't take the bait.
To validate our self worth, we seek reassurance & it gives us a purpose. Between myself and my boyfriend, it gets scary because he's the one that's constantly thirsty for attention. I'm more private and self conscious so I avoid bringing attention to me. He basically needs to open the windows at 4am and pick an argument while broadcasting it, with his friend on speaker, sounding like Mrs. Nisbit while shouting "YOU SEE HOW SHE TREATS ME!" ... like wow, all I said was Stfu, it's 4am.

Alpha males don’t have low self esteem. Let’s hear another lie?

Thank you for being honest.
I've noticed that when women are generalizing men... they often state things that women are actually known for.
Funny, I said this exact same thing once on another site years ago.
A. K. A. hypocrisy
I would have to say only the narcissist human. A normal human in general hates attention. I hate being the center of attention.
Not all of us want attention. Some of is want respect.
I like this answer😊
Thanks

I disagree. Supply and demand comes with scarcity. Less attention provided means they value it more and willing to be better for it.
Tbf any person likes positive attention, be it a guy or a girl. Key words here being “positive attention”.
True.

Ha. Ha.
loll
Because it’s an ego boost as it shows we are attractive and desirable in our minds.
It's not that we love attention but more so that getting attention makes us feel loved/valued...
If you love being loved and valued and attention gets you those things wouldn't that mean you love attention?
@Apple1996 He makes a good point.
@jahaims doesn't everyone love being loved? Lol
It's not cause of the attention. It's cause the end result of being loved/valued
@ManOnFire to answer the question, I like attention cause it makes me feel loved. I don't know about other women but that's how I feel about it
You realize you are speaking paradoxically right?
@jahaims not really just stating why women do this so men can understand
Have a friend read it and see what they think. I feel like you have a good point but are failing to articulate it. Seems like a paradoxical statement to me.
@jahaims what I said is fine. But if you want a deeper answer. This isn't really about attention. It's more about being desired. If woman doesn't feel desired then they don't feel valued
good point

@Apple1996 that’s the most contradictory statement I’ve ever seen.
@Kingofkings1992 it's cause y'all ain't getting my point. Attention isn't something that women like. They're seeking attention so they can feel important/loved/cared for.
Some people might feel loved by getting a hug. That doesn't mean they necessarily like hugs.
@ManOnFire to your update, any girl saying that men love attention don't understand men well enough. Men like attention given to their dicks and thats about it
i like attention given to my jokes as well :P
that’s why u should ignore them more 😂 it drives them crazy

Just about everyone likes some attention sometime. Even if they do not admit it.

Wow.
Why are you even dating him?
For me I just like attention from my boyfriend any other attention makes me uncomfortable due to me being very shy.
