So the last few guys I've dated have had an obsessive need to receive attention from the masses.

I just don't get it. I've been attractive my whole life so attention from people has just been apart of it. I don't need to seek it out or do stupid crap to get it. But these guys can't stop staring down people so that they get the feeling that everyone is looking at them, being completely wild in public to get noticed, saying inappropriate things to get a conversation back to him or a theme he wants, flirting to feel desired...

Sigh.

Perhaps you need to focus more on why you tend to date guys like this and less on how much they suck.

This is more or less what OP should be doing but won't because everyone's ego prevents them from applying blame to ourselves.

Do you have an actual question or do you just want to state that you are attractive?

Exactly. I've never known any guys like that, so there seems to be something in you that prefers those types, OP. Something that leads you to seek them out. Maybe you choose super-attractive guys, thinking that's what you deserve, but then you discover that their character isn't what you expected? (Just a guess.) Put character higher on your priority list when choosing a guy.

Do you meet these guys in gay clubs and other places where being flamboyant and attention-hungry is the norm and expectation?

You might be better off if you seek out the quieter types in different settings, maybe through gay sports leagues or other places where alcohol and drag drama isn't taking center stage.
