Why do girls..........

[Harmless]

Need more attention then boys?

Well, why? (I'm really keen to know)

*Classroom exercise for today is.....*

What methods do girls use to get their attention?


*Also to the girls, how big attention seeker are you?*

i guess u get that impression cos girls like u/blokes to take notice of them.

i know that wen a mate(bloke) or a bf doesn't take notice of me or doesn't give me enuf attention i feel neglected and unwanted, duno about other girls but thats me!!!

I love attention. Cause I'm blonde, and know nowt else :p

Hah.

I need attention when I'm on a night out. Like I need people to dance with me, otherwise I feel likeit's been a shit night out.

Girls are just like that though, I gave up trying to work them out ages ago.

Blokes only try to get attention when they are with their mates..then they act like total wankers!

I don't need or try to get attention!

Women are fuck ups in general.

Depends what kind of attention you mean.

I need lots of TLC from my boyfriend though :) ...or at least, I wish he gave me a little more - he's not the tender loving caring type, but sometimes he does surprise me :)

If you just mean attention from guys when you're walking down the street... I don't need wolf-whistles or stares in order to feel good about myself. Does help a little though ;)

I don't like lots of attention in a group though, as in being the *centre* of attention all the time. Well, yes, I like it, but I'm not the kind of person who has to walk into a room, make loud comments and expect EVERYONE to notice me and say hello. I'm happy just walking in, smiling at whoever smiles at me and chatting unobtrusively to a few people :)

So how many different types of attention do girls crave?

And is this need for attention a factor in nice/shy guys finishing last?

I mean, you want him to tell you that you look sexy (something that he'll think, but wont say), You'll want him to try and talk to you and stuff (again, something that he'll want but wont do)


:p

AW come on!! Attention seeking is a sign of immaturity and low self esteem. Once a girl becomes a woman she no longer seeks attention from all the boys but is happy to just be herself.

Whats all this 'I need you to like me' crap? The only thing we (women and men) need is to like ourselves. If you've been raised right, and you feel content with the person you are then you don't need to resort to all this 'love me, love me, love me' stuff.

Never heard of anything so rediculous!

The best thing to do with a girl that cries out for attention is to ignore her and tell her to stop throwing her toys out of the pram!!

I think there is quite a bit of truth in what you're saying here.
I have mates who are nice lads but never get girls and I think its to do with the point you have made there about they will think 'you're sexy' but they will never say it or even have the bottle to imply it.
I on the other hand will say what I think and I get my fair share of girls even though I will admit I'm not the best looking lad on this earth, not by a long way.

Everybody needs a bit of attention, whether they're male or female. But I personally think that females can be a lot more emotional than males, and so need the extra bit of attention.

They dont have to tell me, but it makes you feel good when someone tells you that you're great and gorgeous. Gives you a real emotional boost. Does for me anyway.

Yes, self-confidence is very important.

Yes, merely seeking attention is not good and is perhaps immature.

Definitely.

I think that there's a distinct difference between attention seeking and complimenting someone on their appearance, personality or anything else, because you genuinely believe that they are in some way nice and special.

ill admit it -- i need constant attention from my man. If hes not got his arm round me, constantly kising me when we're out with friends i start to think 'why isnt his arm round me? why isnt he kissing me right now? does he want other girls to think hes single?' and so on...

im so pathetic! :p at least i know it... and try to control my attention seeking urges!
