Attention Seeking Men!



Last night I had an epiphany or a revelation if you will … men are just as, or if not more, attention seeking then women. Let me take you back to last night. I had a conversation with one of my guy friends and he started explaining his weekend “frenzy” (in his eyes). He and his friends went to a party in Essex and popped champagne (Cristal and Dom Perignon) in the pursuit to attract the attention of four blonde haired, blue eyed, big boobed and massive assed women. They spent over £5000 in club; just to get their attention. Not to give credit to £5000, it’s definitely not life changing, but to a lot of people that’s a lot of money to spend to get the attention of a bunch of strangers. However, this group of men felt that it was money well spent because the women had sexy bodies and were “Instagram famous”, meaning they had over 100,000 followers. The women were so impressed, that they posted a picture of one of the guys on their instagram and he received thousands of likes. This whole conversation made me think, ‘is it possible that men seek just as much attention as women but use their money to gain it?’

You see, I figured out why men’s attention seeking is not as obvious as women’s, it’s simple…. Women seek attention through their bodies and sexual gestures whereas as men use their money. Let me break it down…
Women’s bodies and sexual gestures are not seen to be of much value; men can pay for women’s bodies all over the world. The better the body the more they’ll pay! To a lot of men a woman’s body as a dime a dozen (sorry girls). In this world money talks, equalling power and respect. The fact that we see money in this way means when men splash thousands of pounds in the club, the element of attention is perceived as inevitable and not intentional, when indeed it is!

In the eyes of men the attention they receive reflects their worth and their success and in the eyes of women the attention they receive reflects love and affections. Both reflections are quiet sad, but true. It begs the questions ‘are we all insecure, fearful humans seeking approval and affirmation?’  I doubt any of the men I described will see it this way, but I definitely do.  To pay £5000 for the attention of strangers, says it all!!!
