The term "pick me" is just a misandrist equivalent to the racist term "n-word lover"

It's a silly phrase. Most people like getting picked. It's the kids that got picked last when making teams that felt the worst.

I've frequently read people describe this behavior as being like crabs in a bucket -- they pull each other down trying to get out rather than work together.

A woman actually working on herself and trying to figure out what the guys she's interested in are looking for and focusing working on those things is just being smart and pragmatic.

If I were a woman and someone tried to insult me by calling me a "pick-me", I'd act like it was a compliment and thank them. They've admitted they believe I'm better than them (and it's just a silly attempt to pull me down).

It used to be for women who obnoxiously claimed how they're not like other girls. Women these days will use it against any woman who isn't constantly trying to make every aspect of a man's life harder.

I've seen women get called pickmes for shooting their shot or even daring to not have a resting bitch face and smiling at a guy to give him a greenlight to approach.

I once seen a girl who was getting called a pick me say "better a pick me than a skip me" I laughed so hard.

Also calling them that suggests that they don't actually have any personality and are just trying to get laid which is ironically misogynist the term these folk love to throw around

A "pick me" is a strikebreaker.

Women as a class withhold attention and affection from men in order to extract resources from them: it's a strike. A "pick me" is a woman who crosses the picket line and gives attention and affection to a man for less resources, or for free.

That's why women hate pick-mes, they undermine their collective bargaining power.

Incompetent people will always find ways to discredit those who are deserving of nice things/experiences.

Dumb kids pick on smart kids by calling them nerds but nerds run the world. Women who can't sustain a healthy relationship or marriage, will call a good woman a pick me. Racist goofballs say n-word lover to women they often want but can't get because they don't have the rizz.

I could go on but everybody gets the point.

It's because females hate men due to our superior competence, so when a woman actually shows respect towards a man the other females show resentment towards that particular woman.

Fishdude94 · 2024-03-01T04:09:35+00:00

I've never heard the term "pick me." Could you give me an example? Is it something like "golden retriever boyfriend?"

Silver-Shape-8894 · 2024-03-03T04:35:54+00:00

I don't know why women think it's an insult lol. I got called one today. Like yes, Karen, he actually did pick me. Because I'm not a bitch. You should try it some time.

JustJ42 · 2024-03-01T00:17:20+00:00

Wouldn’t pick me just be the female equivalent of a white night to y’all? Someone who’ll bring down their own sex to look better to the opposite sex?

SulkTv999 · 2024-02-29T21:41:19+00:00

It's such a silly, childish turn of phrase.

cistacea · 2024-03-01T16:33:37+00:00

As a female, OOF. Man oh Man, the concept of 'pick me' is one that I find deeply misogynistic. The whole idea is that if a woman B disagrees with woman B, it's because women A is just trying to get male attention. Its premise is the concept that ALL women are a huge hive mind like the Borg and they all have the same opinions and ideas from womb to tomb, and the only reason that another woman can possibly disagree with other women is because of a man's influence. It's an infantilizing and dehumanizing concept. It's the assertion that women are less capable of independent thought than men are.

Saraeatonn · 2024-03-03T23:28:27+00:00

As someone who frequently gets called a pick me because I advocate for men and men’s mental health. I think it’s a sign of the inability to have a mature conversation. It’s like women who go after women’s looks because they have nothing else. Additionally, any women loving a man is now considered a “pick me”. Weird.

Organic_Muffin280 · 2024-03-09T08:58:42+00:00

Exactly. "If she dares speak the truth about men's rights, we must socially outcast her as a "pickme"".

Milk--and--honey · 2024-03-01T00:41:05+00:00

No, not really lol

The term is supposed to mean a woman who actively insults and degrades other women in order to make herself look better. It's not the same as a woman who just likes to please men

jesusisracist · 2024-03-01T03:07:13+00:00

No, not even close to an equivalent. We call it jungle fever, where a white girl goes with a black man. A pick me is a lot more broad. For instance, white knights are pick mes. Some male rights activists like PearlyThings is a pickme (None of her content is original and she just reiterates what a lot of redpill content states, and is self-defeating, she does this for views from male audience)

Chama-HUH · 2024-02-29T21:47:37+00:00

Nah I wouldn’t go that far lol.

FH-7497 · 2024-02-29T22:36:42+00:00

You’re grossly misled. Notice how you didn’t censor “pick me” but you DID censor the other word, literally proving that you’re trying to promote a clearly false equivalency

snippychicky22 · 2024-03-01T16:45:40+00:00

Is that why you censor n word and not pick me? It's to call out annoying women

xxTheMagicBulleT · 2024-03-01T18:14:38+00:00

I think for many its more a compliment then a curse word.

Just like being called a slut for many women that see that as a bage of honor cause they like that they sleep around so much.

And pick me most of the time just means. Well im not super shallow and selfish. Like all those other women out there.

I'm willing to serve in a relationship. And not just make everything about me me me like those other girls.

What in it self seems just a way women like to pull other women down. But in my eyes i dont see it as a bad thing. Often those women are a lot more happy then those other sluts that often end up being single moms.

But you could see it like being a nerd or a geek or a goth used to be a shameful word. But being called that would mean nothing to me.

And i see it very similar. I don't see it as something shameful or mean at all.

Even if they mean it to shameful. Like being a goth and like to wear black all the time. Or a geek who loves to learn. It's just who you are.

Sometimes you should just own it and not worry so much about others think. The whole sticks and stones might break my bones but your words can never harm me.

Cause often people are jealous too cause their choices made they can't take the same road. Cause the already burned that road like doing sex work. In some way or format. Or single mom or any of the other choices they made that makes them stuck on the road they are on.

And with almost all women they have the crabs in a bucket mentality. They rather pull others down with them. Then lift other women up. So they shame women. Cause they are stuck while they fell for the traps and are stuck in their lives.
