When it comes to attention on Fab - what kind of attention do you like?

Is attention seeking a bad thing?

What type of attention seeking do you not understand/eyeroll or heck, dislike?

The "fab if you'd fuck this/for a friend request" etc.

And the woe is me, neggy types, seeking sympathy shags etc (applies to both sexes)

But you know... Each to their own , if it works for them...

Everyone on here is seeking attention in some shape or form. Without seeking attention, it's not possible to attract people for the sex so on that aspect I get it.

Desperate attention is different though. I don't get the people who flirt with others they know full well will never have sex with. Or the people who clearly pretend to suffer with low self esteem to get showered with compliments. Or those who start multiple threads shortly before they go UNLOS just to make sure people notice they've gone.

People are a mindfield but ultimately seeking attention should be something that's fun with a means to an end. If it's for self validation, it's never going to end well.

I always thought I understood people, but thanks to fab, I’ve been shown I don’t.

Being in my friends list with the sole intention of building your fan base for fans to reach page one because you post pics every day/hour . …. Prove me wrong that isn’t a thing.

That’s just one I won’t play along with.

I like attention. I like to be seen. As for the kind of attention... that depends on my mood and who the attention is from. Sometimes objectification can be a delight. Others, eye roll inducing.

I don't think attention seeking is a bad thing, as long as the seeker owns that and also understands why they're doing it.

As far as others attention seeking, I don't dislike any of it... that would be hypocritical of me. However, anything where I feel the seeker is being disingenuous, or appearing (to me) to be acting in a superior fashion, or demeaning to others, I'm not a fan. Bullying type attention seeking makes me cranky.

At the core, anyone using fab, especially those who post on the forum, are seeking attention, even those who say they aren't. Everyone wants their comments to be seen, or their pictures/profile to be looked at, or both. Even those who aren't looking to interact privately with others are looking for the attention of others. It's what builds our community, and isn't a bad thing.

I really don't understand people who believe the "fab and I'll give you a blowie" type things though... although I get why the seekers do that. Makes them feel good.

I don’t care what attention I get tbh. Although sometimes people can be negative towards me on my threads or in reply to comments and I eye roll at that. And also eye roll when people just comment on threads (not just mine but anyone’s) with the sole intention of being a prick to the OP and making silly digs.

But other than that I don’t care. The only attention I’d like is more in the inbox that find me attractive.

We all seek attention in some form on here and what works for some wouldn’t work for others and I’m sure each person will have a different eye roll situation.

But the people who start a thread saying they need picture ideas but never go with a suggestion as they just wanted to do a ‘look at me and praise me’ post annoy me.

Or the ones who give half information when asking what they should do - they frustrate me - attention seeking at its best! You aren’t going to do anything someone said, you just want one person to validate your thought process

Anyway I’ll stop….

Hang on News ones are very annoying - just post to annoy people!

I really like how you ended it with each to their own.

It's not a gendered thing is it? I don't think I've seen a man do a Fab it and I'll fuck you photo but I'm sure one has existed.

We all do it in various ways, that wasn't really up for discussion. I was more curious about how on a personal level you (a general you) seeks attention.

No, I don't quite understand that style of flirting either. I think that flirting is a rather personal thing though and when styles vary so much across the forums you're going to find people who don't *get* your way of doing things.

Flirting is fine, and fun. I’ve asked before how many times have you felt somebody has been in your inbox and either you had no intention or they had no intention of actually ever meeting up.

My flirting ranges from lighthearted innuendos, flirty banter, and I think you are a gorgeous sexy creature, and I want to fuck you given the quickest and soonest opportunity.

I try to make it very clear which attention I would like off them

In part that's down to how you perceive the person, yes? The motivation you ascribe to another's actions or words. Take posting on here... you could think "Gosh, I really love the eloquence of Person A" and yet Person B could make you think "they're really not as smart as they think they are". I think a lot of how we feel about attention seeking is either down to not understanding it, our own perception surrounding the person who does it or our relationship with another.


"...I really don't understand people who believe the "fab and I'll give you a blowie" type things though... although I get why the seekers do that. Makes them feel good."

I don't quite understand how it can make someone feel good but that's because we're all rather different. The attention I like has to be personal to a certain extent, deliberately directed at me and not because they think I'll deepthroat them. Not always at least.

At times I crave attention. And then I get it and hide. I've always been nervous of male attention IRL. I find on sites like this that my need for attention spikes (post a photo) and then shrinks (hide profile etc). And I've got the sense it's complicated for some other people.

Generally I ignore the attention seeking antics of others here. But if I venture into local updates, I do a lot of at the statuses!

I don't tend to come here for attention BUT sometimes ( and ONLY sometimes ) there are some interesting for funny replies and I re reply at times...... so that's sort of attention innit ... I guess... so it would seem but I don't seek it ...... it's not my raisins detour...

Attention seeking is not a bad think - intent and method dependent.

I don't roll my eyes EVER- really truly ..... it's a pathetic passive aggressive facial response....

I don't really dislike any attention seeking BUT if it's done on the backs of others - it's out of order.

Um. I've drawn attention since I hit puberty. I didn't like it at all for a long time. Eventually I decided I'd at least give myself the illusion of choice by deliberately heightening the things that drew people's eyes.

I like a positive audience these days. I'm not sure I've ever managed to fully shuck the discomfort it causes, but I've learned to appreciate it in a way at least

Every interaction on Fab is attending seeking. Some folk are straight up "look at me types", others like to play the panto villan, whilst others bend over backwards to appear nice when they're obviously cunts.

Everything we do on Fab is for someone to look at, pics, bios, posts, threads, a message, all of it.

So we are all attention seekers trying to get noticed by those we wish to meet, whoever they end up being.

Some people mistake stuff I do for attention because they don't get my humour, and others don't realise that I do some things just because it pisses the complainers off. Yes I'm childish, but being slut shamed on here is pretty crap. And I also refuse to let someone take me out as the perceived competition by shaming what I do and making me feel I shouldn't post that comment or pic or thread etc. It's worse when women shame but are then gathering attention themselves in their own way and posting pics that are no different to what they shame other women for.

That reminds me, I haven't done a anyone fancy a fuck thread this year.

That's a classic. People take that as meaning me, when I'm not asking for a fuck I'm asking if people fancy a fuck ....but not with me specifically.

I must remember to be careful with word mischievous though in light of a recent misinterpretation.

"Um. I've drawn attention since I hit puberty. I didn't like it at all for a long time. Eventually I decided I'd at least give myself the illusion of choice by deliberately heightening the things that drew people's eyes.

I like a positive audience these days. I'm not sure I've ever managed to fully shuck the discomfort it causes, but I've learned to appreciate it in a way at least "

It was more specific towards Fab rather than a general thing. I wanted to find out how people seek it, if they're aware they are etc. I know I do it with certain threads, when I upload particular photos. What makes people tick, the attention they like and the ones they don't. Whether directed at them or being sought by others.

I think we all like positive attention, we're human aren't we? We're also nuanced and what we'll accept from others can be seen negatively when done by someone we don't particularly care for. It's waffle really based on an earlier conversation.

I just try to be open, honest and admit I have no idea anymore.

Yes, I am mostly unhappy with everything, but that's why there are jaffa cakes.

I like attention. I like to be seen. As for the kind of attention... that depends on my mood and who the attention is from. Sometimes objectification can be a delight. Others, eye roll inducing.

I don't think attention seeking is a bad thing, as long as the seeker owns that and also understands why they're doing it.

As far as others attention seeking, I don't dislike any of it... that would be hypocritical of me. However, anything where I feel the seeker is being disingenuous, or appearing (to me) to be acting in a superior fashion, or demeaning to others, I'm not a fan. Bullying type attention seeking makes me cranky.

In part that's down to how you perceive the person, yes? The motivation you ascribe to another's actions or words. Take posting on here... you could think "Gosh, I really love the eloquence of Person A" and yet Person B could make you think "they're really not as smart as they think they are". I think a lot of how we feel about attention seeking is either down to not understanding it, our own perception surrounding the person who does it or our relationship with another.

"

Absolutely. We all view everything through our own lens. Sometimes that lens can be manipulated by another's views as well, but it's still our own and mainly created by our own bias and experience.


"

...I really don't understand people who believe the "fab and I'll give you a blowie" type things though... although I get why the seekers do that. Makes them feel good.

I don't quite understand how it can make someone feel good but that's because we're all rather different. The attention I like has to be personal to a certain extent, deliberately directed at me and not because they think I'll deepthroat them. Not always at least. "

I understand how it makes them feel good. It wouldn't make me feel good, but I comprehend the logic behind it.

The attention I like is generally, like you, directed specifically at me. And personal. Preferably from someone I like. But it doesn't always have to be. Sometimes I court attentuon in a very general way because I'm actually craving interaction and positivity. Or crudeness, innuendo and general pervertery. On occasion it can be fun, although it can also wear thin quite quickly.

I like a certain degree of attention.

I don't post pics for fabs which is lucky as I rarely hit double figures but I enjoy knowing that people are looking at them.

Just like my forum comments.

I don't post to be controversial or blow smoke up people's arses but I like to be acknowledged.

Many of my comments go against the grain simply because they are my opinions or experiences and are often different from those who go through fab just echoing what others say and don't have an opinion of their own.

Most of the compliments I receive either publicly or privately refer to the fact that I'm happy telling the Emperor he is naked while others are admiring his new clothes so that type of attention is welcome.

I roll my eyes at those who would happily sell their granny for attention and care nothing for the consequences of their actions or who they hurt in the process.

Ok I'll try this. I like experiments. I'll tick all the boxes and put a 'Fab for a fuck' status up and see what happens.

I am seeking attention from the weird, wonderful, extreme, and kinky.

There is a good reason why receive a limited amount of messages. But those I do get are the ones I am seeking.

I'm only interested in getting the attention of someone I could click with and meet regularly.

Other than that I'm not fussed for getting attention.
