"Attention Whores" ...... women, men, or what?

[MVP]

OK folks, there's this guy on the radio out here - Tom Lykis - who likes to go on and on about how women crave men's attention and will do just about anything to be the center of a conversation, the center of attention, or whatever else you wanna call it.

He calls it being "Attention Whores"...

Since this radio show is nationally syndicated and broadcasts in many markets nationwide and some/many people may have heard it, I'm wondering what your opinions are on the subject.

Generally speaking, do you feel it is true?
Why or what drives this kind of behavior?
Are Men attention whores in their own way?
Is this a natural phenomenon or just radio chatter?

yes, my wife will ask me 100 questions in an hour just to make me talk to her....

I know of some. One girl here acknowledges it and kind of revels in it. Some might do it to alleviate boredom, like when they're left alone all night.

I have listened to Tom Lykis a few times and he really is an idiot. But funny at the same time

Men and women both, especially in terms of belligerence and contempt toward others just to sale themselves.

It's unfortunate but I guess that's our current nature.

You can't swing a cat on canncom without hitting attention whores of both genders. I do it sometimes.

Yeah, i know how that goes. I ain't even married & the samething happens to me. I'll be working on my car & at the time girlfriend (ex now) would sit there beside me asking me a million things trying to get me to talk to her. I got a one track mind & i can't work on my car & talk to her at the same time, so i'd get pissed, hurt her feelings, then have to tell her i'm sorry.
