Even though I hate the w word, I'd say it's a girl who has a narcissistic personality and always has to be the center of attention. She may love taking pictures of herself and always being heard.

Last time I trust a hitch hiker with a digital camera.

It can also be applied to people who are constantly making a scene. Unfortunately, an aspie having frequent meltdowns may also be labeled as one, fair or not. Even people who argue frequently will be labeled as such. Did someone call you that?

I try not to be, but I'm one.
*Use the word I a lot
*Loud sometimes.... (though, I compensate by being shy at the most random of times)
*Like and dislike being the center if attention
*Take MANY pictures of myself (over 1000)

Someone who always wants attention. But anyone can be one TBH.

It seems be used for on someone who is always posting about their problems, who says they are going to kill themselves, someone who makes tons of threads, someone who stands up for themselves by doing things to piss their enemies off because they are giving them trouble so the victim throws it back at them and they get accused of being an attention whore, someone who breast feeds out in public, someone who goes on the news about something wonderful like having their baby on Christmas Day. Blah it means tons of things and I can make up a huge list for who might be considered one by haters.

I guess it doesn't have to be, it's just the first thing that pops into my mind when I hear that phrase is a girl. You usually don't call guys whores. I guess it certainly can be anybody though.

We usually call them MAN-WHORES when referring to men.

^

'Manwhore' refers to a promiscuous dude, not to an attention seeking man. I think we should just stop calling people whores.
