It’s ok to have your own interests and ways of living your own life. “ I don’t wear makeup, who has time for that?” Or ” I love watching football and drinking beer!” Classic examples of trying too hard to seem like you’re “not like the other girls.”

Then, turning those ideas to the extreme opposite, to assume a more appealing appearance for men. This is usually manifested by taking mainstream ideas of how women think, act, and dress. Better than being single, right? They Go Out Of Their Way To Be The Epitomy of Male Fantasy If it means possibly getting a husband later on down the road, she’ll deal with it. Instead of the awful idea of possibly being alone, a Pick Me Girl would rather lose all self-respect and not care how other men treat her, either. Lying, cheating, stealing from her? Totally acceptable as long as she still has that man as her partner. No Car? No Job? That’s ok, she’ll take care of a man. They’ll accept anything and everything as long as a man is attached. Pick Me’s Have Lower Standards For A Mate Everyone should be set to the same amount of energy if that’s something you actually feel is important. You can have a set of morals and values, but if you do, don’t assign them to just one set of people. There’s no excuse for victim-blaming, and predators need to be held accountable. They side with rapists while victim-shaming a woman for “wearing a dress that asks for it.” If you do this, you’re not only a Pick Me, but a disgusting excuse for a human being. “Guys need time with their boys” the Pick Me says while looking down on a single mom for just wanting to take an hour-long, uninterrupted nap. They’ll shame a stay-at-home mom for needing a break from the non-stop responsibilities of parenthood, but not hold a man to the same standard. Refusal To Hold Men Accountable For Their Actions Comments such as “I’m not like this, I don’t know why some women are _” will be used to gather support from male strangers at the expense of everyone else…just so she’s seen as the ally. These women always take the side of any man within online arguments (but also include IRL disagreements) instead of backing up their female peers – especially when the man is wrong. Lori Alexander is the perfect example for this… Stick Up For All Men, Any Man, (As Long As It’s A Man…)Īlso very often seen on social media. Because men can’t be “sluts” when you wanna get picked by one…a disgusting double standard. These women never fail to point out what they think is unacceptable social behavior by other women yet, never give men the same kind of energy. It’s a poor attempt to make themselves appear more worthy and valuable and really hits below the belt. Usually typed out by a chick who desperately needs any form of male attention, even at the cost of making disparaging comments about anyone else’s choices. “No man wants what every other man has already had,” or “Cover your body, good men don’t respect women who don’t respect themselves.” You see these types of comments a lot on social media. It happens, and often, we don’t know any better (or realize we’re doing it).īut are you guilty of any of these classic examples of a “Pick Me?” You Slut Shame Your Peers Most women can recall a moment they are less-than-proud of, where they caught themselves attributing to misogyny. Whatever it takes to make herself appear more desirable as a partner than any other woman.
