An attention whore is many times a young woman in her early twenties who frequents the bars on a regular basis. This type of person will generally break up with his/her significant other for some mundane reason because of the need to flirt and sleep with random people. An attention whore is loud, dresses slutty, loves to lie, and will use her friends to gain more attention for herself.
Katie Anderson broke up with her boyfriend for the upteenth time and told all her girlfriends it was time for a girls night out. She then proceeded to talk very loudly in the circle of girls while making slut eyes at any man who would look her way making her the attention whore of the night.

A person on Facebook who posts statuses/pictures in order to get shares or likes. Like with other types of attention whores, it is best to just ignore these people, as they are usually just desperate for recognition. Also known as a tryhard.

Someone who screams attention through many discrete means at the expense of others.
Example
1)Text Message - The attention whore message is delivered to someone that is currently dating or was dating. Alternatively, they are half assed friendships that they can’t seem to shelve because they are attention whores.
Their text would be a message of curiosity commonly inquiring what you are doing but ultimately is a sad form of attention to see how much interest is still there. The clear distinction between honest inquiries is follow through. “Let’s meet up some time” OK!. Also, the text has a tendency to end abruptly because you have already satisfied their needs of whoredom. This can be devastating to some or a bit of an annoyance to others depending on how much you give a shit.
*WARNING: Apathy breeds more texts. Attention whores sense they are losing you and will continue to text until you back in the vicious cycle of random texts or you drop them completely.

2) Taco Shop -“Let’s go home and get naked!” Attention whores are notorious for making random remarks to see if their male counterpart will actually come home and touch a boob or two when in actuality the man gets no play at all. The attention whore passes out snoring and regrets whole thing via text the next day. A.W - “Did we kiss?” Apathetic Man – “No, I just placed it in the butt”
3) Party Scene – “You know out of all the people I met in San Diego, you’re my favorite. We should hang out more” This attention whore maneuver is a classic bear trap. They reel you in with what you thought was a candid moment. They provide plethora of compliments and flirty actions only for them to ignore your call later and precedes a two day later text about how they missed your message.
*Complimenting these actions with an actual “date” is a recipe for disaster.

A girl or boy (mostly girl) that craves attention so bad that they'll go to the largest extent to get it..
They'll find anything or anyplace full of people that will give them the attention they want because they just can't stand not being the center of attention..
They feel that the world revolves around them and they think everyone else should know..
One of the main places you can find attention whores are at places where they're the only sex in a certain place..
Only idiots and scum don't realize their true being..
