Some of them loved to be in the center of attention at all times. For the diminishing number of people, they keep their private lives intact. There are instances though that we need to attract people’s attention.
Applying for a job, impressing a person, boosting your ego – there are many situations in which you’ll have to get people’s attention. Being too shy isn’t filling up anyone’s social credential, and a feed of attention once in a while won’t hurt, isn’t it?
At those times I feel the need to have people’s focus on me, I wear red shirt. Red color is dominating. It can easily be spotted against any other color and it is memorable. When there’s a rubbish know-it-all I’d want to outperform, I speak out louder than usual and let what my brain got to outsmart. But those are rare times.
People who act the craziest get the most attention; that is not the norm of my actions though. I’m usually a composed and relaxed dude. The only way I’ll act stupid and crazy is when I went beyond my body’s alcohol tolerance threshold.
I’ve seen some techniques in screens. People utilize a prop, most times a cute dog or a baby. It’s some kind of a chick magnet. According to the survey of Askmen.com, “being a great father or husband” is the main plus factor that defies a real man. Taking care of a baby would shift heads of women. In a study of University of Austin scientists, a woman’s face is mostly important to 75% of men. I agree with that, the eyes, the smile, the skin are all attention grabber. I guess makeup is a prop to get attention too.
Extremes looks can shift heads as well. We’ve been hyped with recurring news of Lady Gaga’s outfit, sometimes meaty, sometimes see-through, or Katy Perry’s new unnatural hair color. The peculiar extremes will surely get attention with raised brows.

My actions, behaviour seems to get me attention.
I have a dance background, so can move in ways that get people’s attention.
Fab post.
By the size of my mouth and body!
fantastic post you’ve got. well, I use humor as a differentiator in a crowd. It has helped me in a lot of occassions.
Nicely said.
Generally I like to “stay in the long grass” and avoid attention. Even though blogging is looking for some attention, I haven’t gone all out. It is something I like doing and try to stay on message, but its more for me than others. the visits, likes and comments are nice, but no, not all out for attention. Nothing like facebook, getting family to look at it, or putting “boobs” in as a tag.
Nice!!!
People often tell me how genuine I am, and that they find my chirpiness infectious! 😛 So I guess ..being myself works best for me!
I met a young woman with blue hair last night. She was striking, sweet as she could be, and made an impression. I, however, got up on stage to sing with a friend, and the sound guy never turned on my mic. I smiled and jammed as if it didn’t bother me. But it did . . . a lot. What should I have done to get his (or anybody else’s) attention? Still, nearly 12 hours later, I still don’t know.
I dress in red or purple … and my laughter is world famous.
The thing is, I don’t like to get much attention. Really. And that very fact is how I get attention too. Because people notice that I’m the most quiet person around. 🙂
As a teenager I had my nose pierced in order to get attention…..
