Back in 2005 we called it “pussy whipped”

Back in 2010 we called it “white knighting”

Back in 2015 we called it “nice guy”

Now, in 2020 we call it “simp”

Far as I know for women, they called her a “slut”, now it’s a “pick-me”

It’s mostly men who will call a guy a simp (not the confident, independent man a woman “should” desire.)

Likewise, it’s mostly women who will call a gal a pick me (not the chaste, sexually trustworthy woman an man “should” desire)

They’re nothing more than terms strategically used to undermine the sexual success of a particular individual that one perceives to be sexual competition.

Update 1 - it’s evident nobody can agree on what any of these terms mean

Update 2 - my point is not about what these words MEAN, but how they’re USED
