In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of pick-me girls and their impact on the dating market.
Elle, our host, shares her thoughts on how pick-me girls are actually agents of the patriarchy and how their behavior is detrimental to women. She debunks the misconceptions surrounding the patriarchy and explains how it affects everyone, not just women. While acknowledging that these are larger systemic issues beyond our control, she also provides actionable tips on how women can work within its constraints to get what they want and need out of relationships.
Elle also breaks down the common misconceptions surrounding the behavior of pick-me girls in relationships, discussing how they perform for men instead of themselves and how they throw their fellow women under the bus for the attention and validation of men as a survival/coping mechanism. She goes on to explain how this behavior is actually disadvantaging women in the dating market and how women can empower themselves to break the cycle.
In addition, this episode offers valuable insights and strategies for how to stop being a pick-me and reset the dating market. Elle shares tips to wake up to your worth, hold men accountable, and set barriers of access to yourself. She also advocates for women to embrace their femininity and stop being friends with men, encouraging them to focus on building genuine friendships with other women.

    Yes this is 100 percent true. Years ago I told my boyfriend I want a boob job and I made him pay for it. He kept arguing saying no you’re perfect just the way you are big boobs look gross.

    You do understand that by ultimately not using makeup will create REAL confidence within yourself? You put makeup on in the 1st place to create the illusion of better looks, which for a woman will directly affect her confidence. So if she can learn to have that same confidence, but without the makeup, that will be extremely beneficial for her. Please don't say you have the same confidence without it because that's a lie. You wouldn't spend hours in a bathroom caking your face up with substance and particles that can damage your skin if you truly had the same confidence. That makeup creates artificial confidence. You don't really have it.

    This video made me love my mum more☺ She's the anti-thesis of pick meisha and even though she never directly said these things to me, from watching her, I always knew she was a girls girl! and a spoiled girlie, she never got mad, she's very high maintenance and I never understood why my dad would always go overboard to please her. As I grew up, I started to notice how much worth she was bringing just by being with him (she's a lawyer and a pretty one) so my dad literally felt so honoured to be with her (he's also a lawyer) and just by being together, he got so many new opportunities in his career. My self esteem is really healthy because she's my biggest fan and she literally wants every woman to win.

    Facts bestie! I never dated as a young person because I refuse to define my value based on a no-effort man's standards. I'm in a committed relationship now, first ever at 32, and I knew he was worth my time when he said: "I feel like I found a queen and I want to be her knight." And he does! It is so nice to not have to worry about paying for dates, who's taking care of my dog while I'm working, and having the financial security to pursue my dreams! 🎉 He came into my life AFTER I started building the life for myself that I wanted, AFTER I decided to really push for what I wanted and needed out of life and pushing away what won't help me get there. If you set the standard and direction of your life but you still want a companion through life, odds are the person who is the best match will have the same standards, expectations, and goals and if you keep going on that path, you will find each other. Don't settle for some dusty on the side of the road with nothing to offer.

Got an update on her life that the guy is living rent free with her, no job. So she’s paying all the bills, rent and even their high-maintenance dog. All the guy did is taking care of their dog while she’s gone for work. She’s not even making that much money 😅 So ladies, being a pickmesha will surely get you a man but think again.

    I find it sad that instead of showing empathy for the reasons she may have become this way, you find her unfortunate circumstances funny. When women go off about “pick me’s” throwing other women under the bus to chase men for validation while simultaneously mocking them instead of trying to be supportive or at the very least empathetic, it’s gross and hypocritical. All it does is keep women down by continuing the cycle of women attacking other women. It’s not a good look. Focus on your own life.

Only to receive bitchy treatment, demeaning remarks and sexual harassment in return. Ironically, he seems to actually respect me more AND put more effort into his business after I turned away from him. 🤷 It's crazy how these things work sometimes.

Being a man’s doormat or trying to be “different from the rest” is only going to backfire TRUST. Men appreciate women they feel they can’t usually have access to. I’ve spent so many days trying to figure out why I was getting less when I would give so much. And I envied women that would never lift a finger for these men and get the world.

    Story of an aggressive pickmisha: One of my very close friends suddenly turned into a pickmisha by character assassinating me in front of the guy who liked me and wanted to take me out. This guy was very attractive and popular in my university. She wanted his attention and she had to say nasty things about me to get his attention she went as far as slut shaming me. Guess what 😂 the guy came right back to me. No effort. I think pickmishas think that they can manipulate the feelings of a man to get attention by saying they are better. But does reality not hit ultimately? 😂

    ​@@LB-uo7xyyeah why wouldn't they I've heard some guys say they will put there d in a gas tank if given the chance so why would he care if she's a slut or not? He pretends to not want them but he probably thinks there more convenient to hook up with because they don't usually want a commitment and they won't make him wait around for sex. I don't recommend that these girls act like this though because I tried that in high school too owning the slut label and it only got me in more trouble both of them are pickmes they just don't realize it until they get to be my age and they discard you for a younger model. That's the sad reality of life some women don't want to accept men are not capable of loving women romantically because they don't stay young forever there very visual and even if you do stay with them you still have to keep up with your apperance and let them do whatever the hell they want just to keep them around you. But by this time you will wish they had left you. The guy that discards you is a beta let that sink in the guy that clings to you and sucks the life out of you is the worse alpha male of them all because he will make you feel like your in some kind of gang and the only way out of it is death. Even if all his friends tell him, "that girls out of your league!" He will still stay with her for years and years because he knows his life is over too.

After the 3rd time I realized something, the kind of men who'll pick a pick-me aren't worth being picked by. And then I stopped caring. And once I stopped caring if someone would pick me, people worth being with started coming to me to be a part of my life, from friends to lovers.

Took me a while to recognize it but I'm there.

    The pickmeisha mother segment really opened my eyes to my mum's weird ass behaviour during my teenage years.... I have this core memory of checking myself out in the mirror and really feelin myself, I had just started receiving compliments for my looks as a teenage girl and it was the only time in my life where I felt really confident. My mum caught me, grimaced in disgusted and said "your philtrum (the distance between your lip and nose) is too long!". I felt so embarrassed I wanted to die (which I now realise is humiliation as the video pointed out). I also came home one day to her standing in the hallway arms crossed, looking at me up and down in a weirdly cocky and jeering manner, I was like what? And she said "I know what you did". That's when I realised she went through my diary and found out about me losing my virginity. Which I also now realise is humiliation... All this I internalised within myself because I literally had no idea what I was made to feel, and over the years developed some pickme tendencies too. This has been incredibly eye-opening and healing... Thank you😢

Rather than be happy for the opportunities for her daughter, she resents her and puts her down. As long as you’re focusing on yourself, including building and healing, you will blossom and live your best life.

    I see it with my parents vs with other couples. My parents have always been "50/50" in many ways, and that has lead my mom being absolutely exhausted raising kids, running a house, budgeting, running errands for every single person in the household, helping my father with the business...and never being appreciated for it. Something is always expected of her because the expectations or the standard is there and was set from the beginning and is VERY high. It's honestly really sad, and my father is not a bad person but their relationship is not perfect either. I see other couples where men have "high maintenance women", women who work and bring money to the house, but they also know their worth and to this day are still very much in love. I see them going on trips together as couples in their 50's, holding hands, going to the movies, they look so in love. I want that. I want to be respected and valued and "maintained", not the 50/50 because it drains you and yes, women bring SO MUCH to the relationship yet if you don't appreciate it they won't either.

I was wounded and hurt and I used being a “chill” girl, who prided myself on being “different than other girls”. Yuck. Now after 4-5 years of being a carpenter, I’m making $42/hr. Getting that BAG. and I refuseeeee to degrade women for my own illusion of “gain”. I love women and now I see pickmeshas on job sites and I want to send them this video!! Like besties… let’s SIT TOGETHER and build. Each. Other. Up. Ignore the table of greasy low effort men and let’s vibe! I have anxious attachment in relationships with men mostly but also friendships on a lesser degree… naturally from the same mommy daddy wounds. I have been diving into it lately and I have committed to myself! to be secure. Act, talk and come off as secure. It has changed my dating game. I used me be that girl like “ya I like fishing, hunting, guns” and change who I am for a man, now I’m like of you want a girl who does all that maybe you should date a dude, and shamelessly get spoiled! I’m always working to be on women’s side. Thank you for your content! I love your channel and vibe ❤️❤️

    @@lilitakasaki7291 hey! Of course I can do my best to give you a idea of what it looks like to be a female carpenter. I started building houses in 2018 when I was 19 years old. I had about $300 in my bank account at the time and my first job payed $18/hr to do grunt/labourer work, which seemed amazing at the time and it was. After about 6 months I was doing more of the building of the walls and such. There’s a shortage of young trades workers now as well. But back in 2018 I was able to work my way up the ladder because there weren’t enough men to do the jobs they have historically done. So for me that was to my benefit. It was typically myself and a journeyman doing the entire house. Which taught me very quickly how to frame and work confidently with power tools. I signed up as an apprentice right away and I did my first year of school in 2019. Then I returned for my second term in 2022. I am heading into my third year this February. My timeline has been very spread out which is totally okay. You can go faster or slower. To write the red seal/journeyman exam you must have 4 terms of school which usually range from 7 -10 weeks which you ideally attend in annual intervals. During that time you are to accumulate around 7000 on the job hours the exact details are to be determined by your districts requirements. I was non union home builder carpenter (ground work, digging, foundation “cribbing” which is concrete, framing the house, then doing exterior siding, land scraping and interior finishing.) It’s definitely not glamorous. I did this for about 4 years with a break in the middle because I didn’t want to continue. (I’ll explain the reasons why in the cons of being a carpenter) I joined the international brotherhood of carpenters and joiners july of this year 2023 and the money is insane as a 4th year apprentice. The working conditions are better for the most part. There’s more resources as well as benefits and opportunities. So pros of being a female carpenter. Getting your own bag. Confidence builds as you build. It can keep you in very good shape and build your strength (while I still recommend a healthy diet and exercise outside of work). I personally enjoy working very hard and getting shit done. You have a lot of male protection while you create relationships with the men but again that is a fine line and I don’t recommend becoming friends with them and never hangout with men outside of work and give them too many details about yourself and make your instagram private! Building houses was a lot more satisfying than industrial union work. But the money is almost double. Cons: typical patriarchal shenanigans that you have to learn how to use to your advantage. The women in the industry are heavy on the pickmisha game. So finding real women who are kind are far and few between. I’ve never met one, but I’ve been fooled. It’s hard on the body over time, at 26 I feel great I feel very strong and like it’s only building my strength but over time like anything repetitive whether that’s sitting in an office or moving around in the job. (In the union you can branch out later in your career after you become a red seal and get a more “cushy” job. There’s a lot of men and it’s kinda gross and annoying to be around them. Because even one’s you think have your best interest in mind are likely pigs. So you have to really do your self work. It’s not easy emotionally or mentally. You can feel very isolated. You have to find fight and courage in yourself daily. You have to turn on your masculine energy and turn it back off when you want to show up in your feminine. If you want to become a mother, I don’t imagine it would be a very mom friendly career but I’ve witnessed other women do it. Oh and you have to work in all weather rain, snow (here in Canada), sun all of it. Over all it’s been a worth while career for myself and I don’t plan on changing it for the next five years or so, money wise it’s been 8/10. Fulfillment wise it’s been a 7.5/10 Just the fact that I can build just about anything is worth everything for me. Anyways I hope that helps!

Women seek attention and validation from men more when they are bullied or ostracized from friend groups and from other women in the workplace or school. Gotta watch assuming a girl is a pick me because she has different hobbies or interests than you. Gotta watch tearing down other women for any reason.

    I find there are two types of men. One type is inherently motivated on his own or maybe outside world validation motivates him. The second is the man that meets a woman that motivates him. For some men the woman in their life is that motivating factor. She doesn’t have to do anything but her presence motivates. Well there is the last type that are just dead set on being losers with no motivation. But they shouldn’t even count. I think we as women confuse motivating him with your presence with building a man or mothering him. Don’t do that 🤮.

    As a child, I was brought up in an abusive environment. My grandma verbaly abused her husband and my father. She always used this trick on me when I was 7-10: whenever I pointed out her terrible behavior, she would remind me of all the times she gave me some kind of gift. At one point I started rejecting all the gifts from her because I knew she would use that fact to manipulate me. And ever since then I hate when partner/friend pays for my dinner because my brain keeps telling me that they are going to use the same manipulation tactic as my grandma. And this is the reason why I always choose 50/50 cost split. I don't know If I will be able to trust anybody ever again.

No, let go skating, picnic, biking, to the beach what ever. Just show that you care and that you are willing to put Effort in this relationship. We can sometimes do a home date when it’s raining or whatever . But don’t treat me like I’m your buddy. Same for your outfit you better dress nice when we go out. I am worthy enough for you to put effort and want to look nice in front of me , otter wise we’re just friend.

    I love you made this video! And I'd really love if you could make a video on this (if you haven't already): I truly think now the best way to reset the dating market is to stop sleeping with men who have not committed to being exclusive with us. The first thing a lot of us do that's "pick me" is have sex with men without securing what we want from them first. I know a lot of us don't want to hear this, and I'm not saying that having sex automatically makes you a pick-me or means a man won't value you, but like you said, men come to US FOR ACCESS. And guess what they want to access the most? Your body! When you have sex with a man, without making him invest AND commit to you publicly, you are basically saying to him: "Hey, I gave you my body already, so now pick me!" And a lot of times, men will try to convince us and will use pick-me girls to say: "See look, she can have casual sex without getting attached" or "She was down for sex on the first night. Why are you so uptight?" as a way to coerce you into getting what they want with minimal investment. But like you said, this is actually a lie. Deep down, they actually desire women who don't give in to them so quickly, and they hit and quit or situationship the girls who do - the pick-mes. If we as women collectively closed our legs, men would have no choice but to act better because they wouldn't be able to get it without working for it. Making him work for it is essentially the foundation of NOT being a pick me.

    Holyyyy shit I’m so grateful for the segment about pick me mothers. I realized a few years ago that’s my mom to a T and I have NEVER seen another person talk about it. 💗 YESSS! My mom did “uglify” me, I had hideous round glasses when I was younger and straight across bangs so I looked like a blonde female harry potter. The crazy thing is, in some ways this can be a form of protection so that a father doesn’t SA the daughter 😰 and thus the mother won’t need to compete with the daughter. Literally had this epiphany a few weeks ago so I’m not too upset about it bc I think I would have not made it this far if that had happened to me on top of everything else. YES OMG I did the whole song and dance, pursuing stupid men who thought they were above me. It took one BRUTAL rejection where I was opening up to a man that I was in mad limerence with and he kept saying “you should talk to someone”. I said, “huh, I thought we were talking this whole time, I guess I was wrong.” Literally never hung out with him alone ever again. It shattered me at the time but I eventually realized the whole thing was bullshit, I dodged a bullet. Pursuing someone that acts like they’re better than you is a TRAP! Now he has to watch me live a happy married life with someone who’s 100x better than him. Zero chasing needed on my part, and it’s a symbiotic relationship for sure. I ✨subscribed ✨ literally sooo much wisdom here thank you so much 💗💗💗

    This reminds me of that one content creator who advocates for men's rights. I forgot her name but she has really dark hair and tattoos and she's overly aggressive. I remember I saw a short from her where she expressed that a ring doesn't matter and even if he gives you a ring pop you should be grateful for it. If a man bases the value of our marriage of a ring pop I'm not going to marry that man. And you could easily make the argument of "Why are you basing a ring in general on your marriage" - But this is what human beings do naturally. Literally everything is transactional. You cannot escape that reality. A man shows his love through his actions, and if his actions dictate giving you a ring pop over a decent real ring despite understanding the context of marriage and symbolically how important rings are for many women within marriage and society, then he doesn't get to marry me because it shows me that he's low effort when it comes to me.

    Pickmeishas tend to be insecure women who were secretly jealous of the attractive women. Pickmeishas know their looks is not what is going to keep their man around they so bash other women with the same qualities they desire. They also dont like single women because they see single women as a threat to their relationship even if that single woman may not be looking for a relationship or marriage. She is a threat to the pickmeishas relationship. Pickmeishas have no choice but to bash other women because it makes them feel superior something they will never obtain from men.

    As a recovering Pickmeisha, who has been working at this and relapsing and recovering on repeat for years, I just want to thank you. So much. I've worked on myself a lot over the last 7 or 8 months after my last breakup, but about 30 minutes into the video, I realized I had to stop being friends with men. The fact that your step 3 a couple minutes later was "stop being friends with men" was so spot on. I'm talking to my bestie about this as I'm watching and I was naming literally any male friend I've had. Ugh, even the good/trustworthy ones! I haven't been dating but this got me to delete Bumble after having it for a few weeks so thank you. Xo To confront your flaws is to confront the fact you still have a lot of work to do with healing from how you were raised. I had a not present dad and a pick me mom who constantly compared herself to me. I happen to be at a point in life where I'm having to live with them and it's like living inside my traumatic memories from childhood. I'm working on getting out, though, so, thankfully men are not my focus and finding safety and healing for myself is. I've been getting back into manifesting but the mother/father wounds are really holding me up when it comes to self worth, value, and believing I deserve something good. This video was a good nudge for me on that journey already.

    I feel like pick me women who have sons become the toxic boy mom. They want their sons to pick them so bad since their actual partners don’t.

    I have always been overlooked and passed up because of pick me girls my whole life, because they literally throw themselves in every way possible to any available man who is a decent catch, or even just for the competition factor, and they will use all the tactics, they pull out all the stops....needless to say I've been celibate for 7 years, I figure when the right guy comes around, he won't be so easily distracted by a pick me girl

    Sure the pickme's got the guy -- but those guys are usually in their feminine energy mode. Aka he is the "spoiled girlie" in the relationship and the pickme is literally working herself to death to spoil him. You are not losing anything sis. And you really don't want to be in a relationship with a feminine energy man -- no matter how good-looking he is because it feels very unnatural and like living with a very bitchy, aggressive housemate after the honeymoon phase end.
