Is there a particular attack method when dealing with attention eaters?

Absolutely.

Do NOT attack them.

Ignore them.

Neg them.

In sum: do what others don't do.

give them a great amount of attention and let them know what you are all about, then when they think they have you and don't comply with your demands or don't meet your standards, just move on and meet other women

when you do this, you will

1) actually not care about them because you are meeting other women
2) she will become confused that you are not giving her as much attention anymore and crave getting it back


you must actually do 1) though or you will fuck it up by getting needy, your goal should be to remain indifferent to the idea of ''getting her''

Normally I pretty much agree with you pumpington, but here I would do the opposite of what you said. In my case attention whores will seek out your attention until they get it and then either move on to the next guy or try and get more attention from you, but not return it. Either way you loose. But not giving her attention and not giving in I find works far better as she will want to fight harder to get your attention as she more than likely see getting your attention as a challeneg.
