n. A person who is constantly insulting themselves in order to receive pity and sympathy from those around them. Sometimes the point of their fishing for compliments is to purposely make the other person feel bad. They won't shut up no matter how many compliments are fed to them.

Can be seen to the equivalency of your girlfriend asking you every 10 seconds if she's fat in that dress.
Girl: OMG I WEIGH 90 POUNDS!! I AM SOOOO FAT!!!
Friend: You're not fat, you're skinnier than me!
Girl: I AM SOOOOOOOO FAT!!!
Friend: Compliment whore...

Girl: I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT A 98% ON THE QUIZ!! I AM SOOO STUPID!!!
Friend: But that's the highest grade in the class, you're like the smartest person I know!
Girl: I AM SOOOOO STUPID!!!
Friend: Compliment whore...

Compliment fishing

Share definition
When someone essentially insults themself in order to get sympathy from other people. A flirting tactic used by many girls.
Guy: Hi, what's wrong?
Girl: *sigh* I look awful today!
Guy: No you don't! You look absolutely wonderful!
Girl: No, I don't. Stop being nice.
Guy: I'm serious, you do! You're the most beautiful girl in the world, you couldn't look better!
Girl: I guess... but I'm stupid.
Guy: No you're not! You're 50 million times smarter than me!

... and this compliment fishing goes on. Don't fall for it, guys. It usually leads you to a girl who will dump you unless you compliment their every move and become their slave.
