Why is being called a "Pick Me" an insult and further more, why do they use it as an insult?

I see this all the time on here and on social media. Any time a Woman says anything that could be seen as a defense of men in any form, you have angry bitter women saying "Did he pick you yet" and variants of calling her a "pick me"

Let me level with you, Yes, Unlike you, She got picked, Because unlike you, she's not an angry, bitter, hateful, insufferable woman. So yes, she got picked, Yes, she likely got married, and yes, unlike you, she is likely happy. Being a "Pick me" Is not the insult you think it is. and only makes those using it as an insult look pathetic, especially to the opposite sex. It gives the red flag that says "Avoid this idiot like the black death".

SMH..

by the way I am aware of the Google definition, but the definition doesn't match the facts, those posting the Google definition followed by insulting me will be removed.

Normally I avoid associating with toxic individuals.

But life is life. I met such in my past accosiations. Regrets.

Giving them the benefit of doubt, I think one reason is those individuals (girls in my case) are low self-esteem and had met with much rejections, to the point that they not only accepted their fate, but became haters.

And this is probably the cause. They can't get it (relationship with us), they insult those who managed to get it (with us).

It obviously doesn't make anyone feel better, including themselves. But it gave some form of perceived-justification. That they are better without us, when those who had us are <bad terms>.

This is my take. On one hand I avoided these toxic individuals, on the other hand I pity them.

That's not necessarily true. I defend men all the time and I am not married nor in a relationship. I think it shouldn't be called anything when women defend men. "Pick me" phrase is weird to me. Never used it and never will.

You gotta wonder how shitty the women are who use it as an insult.

[Persephone02]

I wouldn't really call them shitty. Just kind of trying too hard to make a trend happen. The "Pick Me" phrase is just a way to make a trend happen that just is not happening or at least not for anyone I know. I've never heard that phrase used unless I'm on social media.

Side note I love the user ID. the goddess persephone, goddess of plants and vegetation, married to hades and queen of the underworld.
