It seems as if this AW syndrome has become so prevalent that there is a need to examine it somewhat closer. Upon running into many AWs, I have compiled some of the common traits these creatures share that should be useful to everyone.


What’s an AW?

Attention Whoritus or the AW, as the name implies, is a member of the human species who seeks attention at all costs regardless from whom this attention comes from. Think of AW as a prostitute who will have sex with pretty much anybody in exchange for currency. The currency in this case is the attention You intentionally or unknowingly provide. It is rooted in their very nature to seek attention and all women regardless of age, status, looks crave attention as it translates into power. Why do you think women are so concerned with their appearance? The problem lies in the amount of the attention they require and the means one is willing to use in order to acquire it. The old term for AW used to be “drama queen”, but it doesn’t quite apply in our days, even though they both share similar traits.
The male equivalence of an attention wh*re is the infamous ‘douchebag’.

Causes of the disorder:
It is the ego-oriented propaganda utilized by the media and technology that has been blasting our brains for almost a decade. In the 90’s, there was strong emphasis on being genuine, thus lacking hypocrisy, shallowness, and pretentiousness. Anti-commercialism was strongest during this era, but it was still about ‘you’ and your ability to express yourself as an individual. It all came crashing down with the new marketing strategies which allowed this longing for “your own identity” to be realized at the cost of buying into the commercial and popular. At this point, Myspace, Facebook, blogging, etc. started offering these outlets to create narcissistic fantasies of being a “celebrity” in your own right and also liking yourself for it. All these new trends shared one thing in common – the word “My” and “Me”- it’s almost as if everyone has acknowledged their love for themselves. It’s also attention wh*ring made easy that doesn’t require many social skills or face time. In turn, this mentality has embedded itself in the female mind resulting in unhealthy egos.

How to spot the AW:
- She comes on strong!
- Gives complements
- Considers relationships more intimate than they really are
- Sentimentality, shows shallow emotions and
- Expression may be somewhat “plastic”, Barbie like
- Sexually seductive, at times inappropriate
- Shows too much cleavage (flaunts other “decent” body parts)
- Lots of makeup, changes hair often
- Hangs out with guys where she is the only female to attend
- Doesn’t like to share attention with other females
- Provocative, rude at times
- Ditsy, theatrical
- Has 1000s of pics of herself on facebook (including the half-naked pics) available to strangers
- Lies and fakes to appear in better light
- Doesn’t accept criticism
- Lacks in creativity and talent
- No real hobbies
- Has the air of “fake” around her
- Not very intelligent

Purpose of AW:
All this is to win you over, as soon as you show that you are into her, she withdraws and makes it look like it’s your fault that you fell for her. She may turn completely cold, flake or ignore your calls or messages all together. If you are a complete chump some may even attempt to use you. Keep in mind that even though there is a parallel between a prostitute and AW, the AWs will flirt and play with you only if you meet their so-called ‘standards’. This means that you have to show “some value” in her eyes in order for her to benefit from it. Lets call it the Price. *give yourself some credit here

Types of AWs seen in the wild:

The psycho AW (the one to avoid) is an extremely dangerous social predator willing to manipulate their way into receiving gains, material or not. Most of these have been spoiled rotten by their idiot parents; others may have daddy-issues, or exhibit the usual psychopathic traits. In any case, their goal is to manipulate you to their advantage. This type of AWs is usually the extraverted women with inflated egos that need a regular “fix”, whereas you provide the fix.

The “nice” girl AW is a peculiar type of AW that usually has a poor self-image and rather low self-esteem. They might be the types of girls that have been denied attention in the past for whatever reason, and now they seek to validate themselves. It is very easy to fall for these seemingly nice women, only to discover their true nature.

The “old” AW – is your typical mature woman who simply wants to feel desired again.

The Solution:

If you ever encounter the AW who is crazy as a bat you might as well run as far as possible. If it’s the nice type that you are dealing with, keep your distance and explore her weaknesses, thus qualifying her. Her attention and advances might be of use with other ‘normal’ women as well. In other words, lightheartedness is the best strategy with them. The most important thing is that you don’t overlook the warning signs before you make a move on AW and fall into her trap.

Negative thoughts down the drain just relax, let t
This thread is ass. How is anything like this productive or leading to a positive dating career? Some of these "traits" are just bullsh­it:

"She comes on strong," - not a reason to avoid a girl....

"Gives complitments" etc
etc
etc

Wtf?? It's threads like these that send the forums further down the toilet, threads that aren't helpful in the slightest especially to newbies.
 

Create self-fulfilling prophecies. Always assume the positive. Assume she likes you. Assume she wants to talk to you. Assume she wants to go out with you. When you think positive, positive things happen.

Yeah I was serious, I don't see how guys could benefit from this grocery checklist of an Attention *****. Why must we overcomplicate things like this?

Some of these traits are prevalent in girls that aren't simply Attention *****s. In a way though all girls love attention, I believe at least..so this thread is moot.

If she seems bad then she probably is, but conjuring a mental 'checklist' of crap like the OP doesn't help. A few points I agree with obviously like the Barbie one maybe, but that doesn't call for a thread.


This is just my opinion though.

Do you know how DSM-4 uses criteria to establish whether you have a mental disorder or not? You have to score on 5 out of 8 criteria.

The same thing here.

P.S.

Quite a bit of arrogance you show there for a member who havent contributed to the forum in any way whatsoever, nor has a life experience to show for it.

Very good post. There has been some excellent literature on this forum going back to 2005 on this topic and I SUGGEST THAT EVERY BUDDING DJ READ THESE POSTS - reason is it is imperative to AVOID these girls altogether. AWs can be very manipulative and destroy a guy's confidence

I know there was an opposing thread some time ago called "The Attention Wh*re Myth." I forget who posted it.

Basically, the opposing argument was something like, "They aren't AWs. You just aren't good enough for them."

Allow me to give my $0.02 on this. Nobody is saying that it's IMPOSSIBLE to get AWs. The point is that they are GENERALLY not worth your time or effort. They just want you to buy them drinks, take photos of their group, then they will dance pseudo-lesbian with their gfs, and finally leave as a group...without you. They are more interested in attention than a hookup, unless the guy is super hot or high status (from their perspective).

So yes, the AW thing is very real. If you are one of those guys that can pull them, more power to you. But for most guys, it's not worth the time or effort.

I think this type of thing IS helpful actually, and especially to newbies.
AWs try to make you think they are into you. This can be very appealing to guys without much experience, and they can get lured in. Of course the AW doesn't really give two craps about the guy, they just want the attention to feed their ego. I agree with the others who said these girls are better off avoided.

when I was an afc I had an extreme oneitis with an AW, consequences were beyond sad. These girls tend to appear very sweet, very addictive and sometimes very attractive.
she did admit she had severe daddy issues at the end by the way, I guess girls who are emotionally neglected by their fathers tend to become AW's.

You're right Papi, I came off pretty harshly and rude. Meant no disrespect and I see threads like this could be beneficial, what I'm trying to sya however is that when things get really analytical like your long OP, it starts to shift in the other direction instead of progressing forward.

An attention ***** is simply a girl with too much self confidence and male attention.

Every girl is an attention ***** to some extent and has the potential to be one in the right circumstances.

These girls are just looking for a man good enough to put them in their place.

my GF calls me an attention wh*re. Everytime we go out to a club... I dance like a maniac and yell for no reason. I'm not craving attention... I just don't give a F0ck about anything.

I don't agree that all are.

I've been with some sweet girls who weren't like this at all. Does seem to be proportional to looks though.

I.e. higher on the HB scale = higher chance of being an AW.

That's why I always try to ignore what comes out of women's mouths and instead focus on what they do (refer my Sig).

This is a much more reliable indicator of how she feels about you.

I do think that's true. Most of the AWs I've known have been extremely attractive. I think they get a lot of male attention so they get addicted to it. And most of them had game so smooth they'd put a DJ to shame. They all knew just which strings to pull.

I have met some ugs who try to get a lot of male attention, but who really cares?

by the way, female narcissism is very very common among hot girls. The whole life of a narcissist is search for "supply", supply is positive attention.
Anything a narcissist does is directed into receiveing positive attention.

Read the whole post, not just the blue stuff.



Also about AWs being attractive,I would agree as well. All of the ones I ve known were considered attractive, yet not particularly "hot" in the universal sense. The situation with local women is pretty bad, so anything that's cute is considered "hot" by plenty of horny men. They all also had their own insecurities, including something about their looks, and you can tell that their self-image is below what the people see, that's where narcissism comes into play.
Those b!itches know how to play the game for sure.

This thread shouldn't be disregarded. It's a common personality type

The “nice” girl AW is a peculiar type of AW that usually has a poor self-image and rather low self-esteem. They might be the types of girls that have been denied attention in the past for whatever reason, and now they seek to validate themselves. It is very easy to fall for these seemingly nice women, only to discover their true nature.

!!I read this and it was my current girl down to a tee
