expressions - Can かまってちゃん be used for males?


This word is used to describe someone who bothers or even annoys other people in order to get attention.

Can かまってちゃん be used for men aswell?

Yes, it is used for men as well.


I googled and found many usages.

I also found an expression かまってくん for a man.
