I Have Daddy Issues

I gotta admit I am very desperate for male attention. Doesn't even have to be attractive guys. I just want men to think I am the most beautiful thing they have ever seen. But they can never have me. I have been told this stems from not getting enough attention from my dad while growing up. Is this generally a true thing for women who throw themselves at many men just to get attention? I want to hear other people's thoughts. What are some of the root psychological issues that can cause people to behave this way?

A lot of the thrill is in drawing and receiving the attention. Once that attention gets older...more routine, then boredom sets in, thus a rush of new attention is needed. I understand that. I'm sure there's something psychological with regard to parents (fathers)...but I think some people just get a big rush from attention.

@Katty1984 I can certainly understand that. I've had a relationship or two (primarily online) where the premise was primarily giving the other attention and compliments. It's an ego boost. I guess I'm an attention whore too. :) Or a cookie.
