Email: Attention seekers [EH]

This woman just wants validation. Someone said the first 6-12 months of online dating is all about "Wow, if I can get all this attention, I must be worthwhile." I say she should consider the source: It's not how much attention you get, it's from whom. (You don't want attention from desperate, needy, sex-crazed, or control-freak nut jobs.) There are women who just want to suck up as much free attention as they can get -- because they're shallow, insecure, or are a user/taker. These are the women who accept -- and even solicit -- all the free drinks, meals, and gifts they can get from men -- but give nothing in return. Actually they would be whores if they gave favors in return, but I'm talking about an emotional return. They are like the soulless "confirmed bachelors" that women are always complaining about.
