Every normal person likes a certain amount of attention to a certain extent, only weirdos want to go through life completely unnoticed. The problem is people become addicted to it like the what ol girl is saying in the op to the point where there live for it.
I think the difference is a lot of dudes be upset with women in their attention seeking because it's mostly for trivial base shyt but at the end of the day it's all the same thing.
If you're not a man that's an absolutely worthless fakkit then you have some type of hobby(s) or something you do in your free time, ( cars, shoes, their body etc... )and when another person sees and appreciates what you did / are doing it's a good feeling. Some women get that shyt so much for absolutely nothing outside of rolling out of bed that it because natural to them so off course when it isn't there, theyre gonna feel a certain type of way about it
