A Pick Me Girl, also known as "Pick Me" is a term used on the Internet to describe a woman who seeks male approval by regularly belittling other women. In order to increase their perceived value in the dating or social scene, they often depreciate other women. This can be done either to a specific woman or as a group, to seem better in comparison. Their behavior generally suggests that they perceive themselves as, and wish to be different and or better than other women.

A "Pick Me Girl" is a girl or woman who seeks to emphasize her superiority from other people of the same gender. People often use the term interchangeably with "Not Like Other Girls"; women who reject more traditionally feminine traits and boast about it in a comparative, competitive way. While these two may correlate, they also differ in various ways. A woman can be described as both a "Pick Me" and "Not Like Other Girls". In such case, they might favor hobbies that are popular with men, such as: soccer, video games, and rock music. They will often express disdain for traditionally feminine interests such as, fashion or cosmetics, and more significantly towards women who have those interests. This characteristic is relevant to differentiate women who simply enjoy more traditionally masculine hobbies from those who use it as a means to appeal to men. Using the term incorrectly to describe women who are not traditionally feminine can reinforce gender essentialism and stereotypes.

The "Pick Me Girl" archetype may also belittle other girls for being too emotional or superficial, and seeks to make friends mainly or only with men. . . .

“Oh my god I’m like- so bad at makeup… I’m more suited to the boyz sports and stuff. Like me and Josh? We played football yesterday. Mhm. Of all the girls, the one who's never left at home. The one who's friends with the guy's friends, plays basketball, and drinks beer with them. Thats me. Hah. Like when girls are so shy?? Like don’t be so scared, lol! I don’t fit in with the other females… I’m just.. one of the guys, yknow? Like I feel like I’m the only modest girl here!”

that’s basically her gist. She doesn’t actively bully but she does it subtly to girls. She tries to match the guys.. and usually it doesn’t work.

Her name is Jessica, and she’s annoying. She has her hair in a messy bun with her brunette color, green eyes, and she wears oversized sweatshirts and jeans. She likes to stick her tongue out because she thinks it’s cool. She walks over to you.

“Oh hey… can I sit with you?”

she’s chewing gum, twiddling her hair as she sat down anyways.

“Do you see the gift haul people got?? Like it’s all Ugs and Lululemons…”

she noticed your not paying attention much, or maybe you were.

“I am like… sooo ugly.. unlike other girls who put on SO much makeup.. oh, do you mind if I make a TikTok? Oh don’t worry it’s not like those other ones. I like different TikTok’s. I’m just not like other girls. I’m into sports and so not girly.”

she takes out her phone, taking a selfie after just saying she’s “ugly”. Yeah, some people do that, but she doesn’t mean it. She’s fishing for compliments. She posts it, and texted a caption you couldn’t quite see.
