When asked by Eleanor Laws KC, defending, if he realised why, he said: “At the beginning, no, but after, yes. Because of status.”
When he joined Manchester City in 2017, he reported that the attention grew “ten times more.”
He said: “The way they came to me, it’s not because of my look, it’s because of football.”
Asked about his attitude to having sex with women he did not know particularly well, he said: “At the time I was not thinking like how they were feeling or they can be upset because, for me, if they wanted to have sex and I wanted to, everything was fine and I would carry on my partying.”

But, he said if a woman said “no” he would “be fine, I’d accept it and I’d stop”.
The World Cup winner said he “didn’t worry” about using contraception although he “knew the risks”.
He said sleeping with different women on the same night was “normal” for him.
When asked why he carried on having parties with women he didn’t know after his initial arrest, Mendy said: “I did nothing wrong so I was just like, carry on.”
Ms Laws said: “Is that something you regret now?”
Mendy replied: “Yeah.”
He said: “When I was in prison it made me realise a lot of things.
“The partying I was doing, inside I had some pain.”
He told the court he had been injured a number of times while at City.
When asked to speak up during his evidence, Mendy said he was “ashamed” to talk about sex.
He said: “More embarrassed, like when you ask me the question I can’t scream ‘yeah I love sex’ because it would seem weird.”
The jury was told Mendy was in prison on remand from August last year until January.
He said: “All my life I have never had the time to really think about what I was doing.
“When I went there I was alone, you’re sat down all day, the only thing you can do is think.”
Asked what he thought now about women, he said: “I didn’t know I can hurt their feelings if we were both OK to have sex.”
He said he realised the way he would sometimes speak about women was “disrespectful”.
He said: “For the first time I was really careful, like ‘I need to buy this but if I get that I can’t have that’. The life I had before, everything I wanted to have I just bought it.
“So it taught me the value of money.”
He added: “I was sad and upset to be going there but at the same time I learn lots of things about life and the way I was.”
Mendy denies being responsible for seven counts of rape, one count of attempted rape, and one act of sexual assault against six young women.
Louis Saha Matturie, 41, of Eccles, Salford, his friend and ‘fixer,’ denies six counts of rape and three counts of sexual assault involving seven young women.
On Tuesday, the trial that began in August will resume.
