          a girl on the internet who will do anything for attention.. often she will claim to have been raped, complain thats shes fat or no one likes her (fishing for compliments), post pictures of herself nude or semi-nude, or just type provocative messages to members of the opposite sex in the hopes that one might not realize that she is just a fat attention whore. another common trick of the attention whore is to claim that she is bisexual or a lesbian.

              Usually a very annoying little bitch who is extremely flirtatious, obsessed with herself, thinks shes the cutest, and thinks she deserves all of your attention. This kind of bitch usually goes through guy after guy by flirting with them and then dumping them.
              Her spoiled brat attention seeking behavior may come from a rich daddy who constantly gives her way too much attention, gifts and treats her like a princess.
              The attention whore will do anything to get attention from you. She is like a vampire who sucks attention and energy from you because it makes her feel good about herself. The only way to kill this parasite is by not feeding it attention.

                An attention whore is anyone who is desperate for attention and do anything, including degrading or humiliating themselves to get it. Usually have low self esteem and absolutely no respect for themselves. Typical examples are girls in school that suck dick to get guys to like them and then act surprised when guys treat them like shit and girls call them hoes, and high and middle school girls that willingly pass out nudes and porn of themselves to get idiotic and phony compliments like youre so hot. Most attention whores know how pathetic they are but are always willing to sacrifice what little dignity they have left for attention.

                  An insecure person that is so emotionally unstable and needy, that they have to constantly be coddled and be the center of attention in any given situation. Or a person that is so insecure about their own intelligence and the above average intelligence of everyone in the room, that they constantly need to talk out of their ass about stupid random things that nobody cares about, constantly giving little factoids about the same subject(and the only one they know about) over and over and over and over again, as well as speaking in an overwhelmingly loud voice to overpower anyone else that cares to get a word in. All while being hilariously unaware that everyone in the room takes a deep sigh and rolls their eyes when this person starts to speak.
