He was a philologist professor who served in the Franco-Prussian war, on the German side, that helped liberate Europe from a "liberated" French empire. He was also a musician, poet, novelist, and philosopher. He lived from about 1845 to 1900, so not that long ago. He is very much oversimplified by people who teach "philosophy" classes.

To not die from doubt and distress when inflicting great suffering and hearing the cry of this suffering. —The Joyous Science, 'A part of greatness'

The epicurean selects the situations, the persons and the events which fit with his extremely irritable intellectual constitution; he renounces the rest - that is, the bulk of them - because they would constitute fare too strong and too heavy for him. The stoic, on the other hand, practices swallowing stones and worms, glass shards and scorpions, without revulsion; his stomach is supposed to become indifferent in the end to everything that the accidents of existence pour into it. ... For men subject to the capriciousness or fate, who live in violent times and are dependent on abrupt ans changeable men, stoicism may be quite advisable. But he who anticipates that fate will allow him to spin out a long thread does well to set himself up as an epicurean, as all men engaged in intellectual labor have hitherto done! For it would be a great pity for them to forfeit their delicate irritability, and to receive in return the rough and spiny hide of a stoical hedgehog. —The Joyous Science, 'On stoics and epicureans'

I mean this is no rocket sciene. if women didn't love and prioritize attention so much then social media would have no meaning in todays world if you think about it because it would be extremely rare to find pictures and videos of girls twirking and doing other self exploiting activities like social media seems to be contaminated with nowadays.

so I was wondering do women love attention as much as we men love sex? cause it seems like women would do anything for attention such as swallowing their pride and making themselves vulnerable for it, no different than us men when we want sex if you think about it.
