So let me set the context

My soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend ( yeah, right) just got into a car accident.
She just had gotten her license, and was practising driving. She was coming back to the house, when she ran into a barrier, and her car did a backflip, ending being completely destroyed in the process.
She is fine , some injuries but nothing really serious.
So right after she came back in a cab she pretty much ordered me to get all the stuff she had ( what she saved from the car+ her items) to the room, to the 5th floor. When i gave her just an innocent remark she went into complaining mode, claiming I was heartless, that she should go to her "best friend" , crying,etc.
I will save you the details. I took care of her, massaged her, cuddled, etc etc.
Actually, she took some selfies of her when she was rescued by the firemen, her car, some of her wounds, called many friends and family members to announce the great news.
That stream of news feeding continued today. She even said she would upload the pics of the broken car to Facebook. She said proudly to her friends that she took selfies of this.
Whereas yesterday she was crying during the night from pain, clearly traumatized. She even made me stay hours awoken, because she could not sleep and needed to cuddle ( WAS this beta?)

The problem is that in general she is quite a sweet person. While she is only a 6 ( yeah I am not a player yet) , she is feminine, maybe a bit chubby but she is nice, a bit of a feminist but like every girl describes herself ( the equal pay, not submission BS etc) . I would never have expected someone who was that near death attention whore so much.


Verdict: no matter how your woman is, she will always attention whore.

[Onto]

In general I agree about women being attention whores, but some women in patricular have a thing for playing "victim". They will even come down with illness all the time in order to solicit care from others. In this case she didn't get unconciously get sick, she rolled her car, but the MO has that familiar "make the world care for me" ring to it.

Maybe not, but watch out for those victim girls nonetheless.

[TheFinalEpic]

Were she not to take all those retarded selfies and profess she will post them on social media, I would say no she's not an attention whore, she was just letting those she cared about what happened. However... she decides to take pictures and make it known to her (probably 600+, 90% of whom could give two shits) followers what happened. This just pisses me off, and is a main reason as to why I deleted Facebook, because I do not want to validate all of this attention whoring let alone see it.

One of my buddies put it best the other day after slamming his phone to the table "Goddamnit, is every girl a fucking fitness model nowadays?!"

To be clear, you can do better and should do better.

[Molon Labe]

If you give a woman any reason to get attention she will jump all over it, from posting accident selfies so her friends can ask if shes okay to getting an engagement ring and suddenly becoming left handed, none of this surprises me, their natural insecure disposition requires external validation from masses of people.

The more attention she can stir up the higher the price of her pussy goes.

This thread seems to be the closest thing we have to a general "Attention Whoring" thread.

Saw this today on CNN.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/21/us/lydia-c...index.html

Mayor Bloomberg's sign language interpreter shamelessly attention whores by making overly-dramatic faces and postures.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Women can't even do a simple job now without trying to steal the spotlight. And don't tell me how "she's just doing her job." No way. This goes way beyond doing the job. She's attention whoring.

Sign language interpreters are supposed to be low-key and almost invisible. This dunce is out there hogging the spotlight, and then trying to claim that she was doing it for higher purposes.

As expected.

She's definitely milking it for all it's worth.

This type of attention whoring disgusts me.

What's next, women taking selfies with a dead fetus after an abortion?

[MY DETROIT PLAYAS]

Had a similar experience with a girl who was my main at the time

First off, the mechanic had warned her not to drive the car because it needed new bearings and a front tire rod. Also, the day before the check engine light popped on. Having had a tire rod split on me before, I offered her a ride to work

Being stubborn, and against all advice she drove it to work anyway. On her way home, she pulls over to grab some Burger King and sees fire and black smoke coming from under the hood. Luckily - it was across from a Shell station so some guy came running with a fire extinguisher to put out the flames

Of course, she had to proudly announce her "ordeal" aka brush with death to anyone who would listen on FB

Instead of learning her lesson about driving a faulty vehicle, she thanks her hunger pangs for craving a burger forcing her to pull over in the 1st place. Being the asshole that I am, I jokingly tell her had she stuck to her gluten-free diet, none of this would have happened

Female attention whoring at the highest levels:

[Isaac Jordan]

Attention, for women, is social currency. The more you have, the greater power you wield. When you combine a woman's natural predilection for acquiring and maximizing attention with the technological tools at her disposal today, you get the modern-day Attention Whore.

To quote The Rational Male's Your Attention Please:

Quote:

Your mother, your sister, the girl at the bar and the wife you’ve been married to for 20 years are all attention seeking. Some to a greater and some to a lesser degree, but it is an integral part of the feminine gender to seek various means to grab and hold attention.

...

Little girls fight in an entirely different realm than do boys. Where boys fight in a the physical realm, girls fight in the psychological. That’s not to exclude girls from actually coming to blows, but far more common is the occurrence of psychological combat, and in no realm is this more effective than the denial of reinforcing attention within a female social collective.

Little girls have a predictable tendency to form small, girl-only collectives or ‘peer clutches’ from the time they are introduced into kindergarten. This social collective progressively becomes a rewarding and reinforcing social unit, locking out those not included, and nurturing those who are. This dynamic can last through high school (i.e. Cliques, etc.), into college and into mature adulthood, but the commonality within all variations of this clutch is the qualifying influence of the affirming power of attention.

Should one member of the clutch offend another, it is the hierarchy of an individual member’s ability to maintain the most attention that generally determines the victor in the dispute. The worst consequence of such a dispute being ostracization from the group – thus the absolute denial of this reaffirming attention-as-reinforcement. The clutch develops a hierarchy of influence depending upon each girl’s ability to attract and maintain reinforcing attention. This attention can be from any source; within the group, outside the group, and opposite sex attention becomes the most valuable after puberty.

...

Thus, women use attention not only for their own affirmation, individually and collectively, but also to do combat with each other. Far more damaging than physical fighting is the long term psychological impact of denying this reinforcement, or better still, delegitimizing or disqualifying a girl/woman’s capacity to attract this attention. Combine this with a woman’s natural, and innately higher agency to communicate both verbally and non-verbally (i.e covert communications) and you can see the potential this has in damaging a rival. This might explain a woman’s natural propensity to gossip. When a woman attacks the respectability and character of another (“she’s such a slut”), in essence, she is assaulting the woman’s agency for garnering attention by delegitimizing it.

Not quite the best example of attention whoring. Facial expressions and postures like these are actually part of sign language and its grammar, and that's exactly how deaf people communicate with each other. I've had sign language interpreters just like her, both male and female, in places like classrooms, conventions, work meetings, you name it. Some just as, if not more expressive than she is.

I'll grant that sign language interpreters are not supposed to steal the show like she did, but I don't think she realized she was doing it at the time. In a situation like superstorm Sandy, the tone is supposed to be serious and somber, and the interpreter is supposed to reflect that. So rather than intentionally attention whoring, I think she was just tone deaf. A lot of interpreters are.

A better example of attention whoring would be that girl who carries around the mattress she was allegedly raped on, or in less extreme cases, taking selfies to see how many likes she can get.

But I digress.

[EmpaFrogaIII]

I would have dumped her on the spot when she said she would go to her "best friend". Like bitch if you want me to stay ask me properly.
