Most American females ages 14-40. Behavior usually encompasses standing at the central point of a public place (say, for example, a bar) and smacking their friends' asses or grabbing their breasts. After this they look around intently to see who may have who noticed, and any applause or encouragement to repeat said behavior is like gold to them.
"Hey look, some men just walked into the bar! Let's kiss each other, maybe they'll acknowledge this and make us feel important!"

"Good idea! Since neither of us grew up with fathers, this is a great way for us to fill that void, by getting attention from loser males!"

"Every time I leave the house, I have to make sure men notice that my pulse is beating, because I'm a token attention whore!"

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 "you're so hot". Most attention whores know how pathetic they are but are always willing to sacrifice what little dignity they have left for attention.
Damn, look at Hannah giving out nudes of herself all over school. What a pathetic attention whore.
