After being used as a therapist/pocket pussy for a decade by every man I've come into contact with, I simply got bored of it. At 28 it really clicked in my brain "ya know. With these men you give them money to help them out, travel to see them and you give them great sex and you dont even cum. What's the point sis?". I just had really low self esteem and I still do but what is the point in doing this shit if I dont even get any joy from it?
I feel cringe looking back at how desperate and pathetic I was. It took me until 28 to understand i was a pickme. Now after realizing my pickme ways I wont even drive 20 minutes to meet a man, if he comes to me with issues I will suggest he visit a therapist. I won't even give a man a cup of water.

inb4 "holy shit you're so retarded!!!1!1!", I was 19.

Gave a guy attention and always tried to get him to hang out with me and see me as "cool" (as in let him "educated me" when it came to more niche anime and other movies I hadn't gotten around to watching).

Here's the catch. He was taken. Gf was overseas. I was somehow deluded into believing we were "friends"…? Or that whatever happened between us was a series of oopsie woopsie fucky wuckies. He was pretty selfish with everyone around him and autistically didn't understand why he was seen as borderline rude by all of our friends. He knew he was walking a very thin line thanks to his charisma. And yet, I always gave him (cheap) souvenirs from trips, tried to include him when others didn't…

I really can't believe it now. I'm still generous to a fault but not to this retarded extent of becoming a pick me for an ugly turkish weeb with a tiny dick. Jesus.

(For anyone curious, he's now single, in therapy because he did not in fact "beat mental illness" like he condescendingly told me, and he gets panic attacks if we almost interact, allegedly.)

Oh boy, here we go…

When I was a teen, basically from 16 till I turned 18, I used to be that pickme who would be a right-wing chan who plays videogames all the time and is so "not like the other girls" because I hit high ranks in comps: masters in LoL (while still loving being a support without duopartners) and other MOBAs along with diamond in OW while being Ana OTP. I'd feel instant cringe over people locking my champions, this sort of stuff. I was a very competitive person on a toxic lvl. ( I still am a competitive person but without any toxicity; I just like pushing myself to do better without any background BS now such as "hurrdurr i am bettur than username", thankfully). I also used to butthurt a lot over SJWs rather than ignoring these people because of my immaturity and people whom.I hung out with. I always never minded all the weird jokes about women belonging in the kitchen and other sexist stuff, I would even sometimes encourage that. Or would even be bragging about my cooking skills for attention (while ironically hating tradthots because i am from a country that brainwashes people onto being a tradthot).

I also used to be that idiot (didnt last too long, only for a year because I realized how messed up that is (still cringing hard over my past tho, jesus…) who would be into DDLG because of my daddy issues and its cute, childish aesthetic.

However, the worst part of all of it was me, being 16 and naive over finding friends. I only years later realized that many of them wanted nothing but to fuck me or get nudes from me but never succeeding in it. They would also encourage me onto talking about lewds. I would always think they'd have just normal curiosity, like your basic talk without any will to jerk off to it, but silly me. I also ended up building my whole personality over being a lewd-chan which only lasted half of a year during that time because of the amount of creeps I'd meet and friends who would end up wanting to talk to me only about sex. I quickly realized that these people would never see my personality, only the fact that I am a self-proclaimed (kek while being a virgin) e-slut.

It's been years now and I am nothing but a normal person who avoids playing toxic videogames and being around people who would do the same mistakes I done but at much older age. Also avoiding "gamer"-kuns who act toxic and disrespectful, people like that. I feel terribly bad and cringe over my past mistakes, everytime a man who would be toxic during those times or use me for nothing but weird sexualization tries to dm me after years, I explain to him that I don't want to have anything to do with my old friends and delete them. I also have apologized to all the people I've hurt in the past. And now I've got nothing but "normie" types of friends or people with whom I share hobbies. I still play LoL, but only for a month or two every year because I am not interested in it for a long time now. I am apolitical person because that doesn't seem to be my thing and this topic itself is difficult and harmful, however I make donations to causes. I am just out there chilling with my paintings, ceramics and books and I've never felt better. The videogame that I play the most for a long time now are Pokemon GO and Just Dance.

When it comes to meeting pickme-chans, I do not feel any hate nor anger. I just feel horribly sorry for them and sometimes want to tell them "Girl, love yourself". The latest pickme I have met was a woman who is 6-7 years older than me and plays OW. She is a proud traditional rightwing-chan and makes sure to tell about it to everyone all the time. Supports and agrees with her friends jokes about the kitchen and other things where women only belong, etc. For some odd reason fakes her voice whenever a man joins, also talks crap about me behind my back and is trying to take my hobbies and interests with her. It is sad but I do not talk to her for 4 months now, I have never been todic to her, only patient and polite, shortly started backing off her after she started being creepily obsessed with becoming me.
Do not know if thats how every pickme acts, but oh well.

I tried to be a pickme to a player once. It ended really awkwardly for both of us. He was in a rebellious phase, I was convinced that if I 'waited' someday he would want to settle down and have a hundred babies or whatever the fuck I was thinking. It's really embarassing and cringe in hindsight. It didn't help that he tried to move closer to me but stupidly moved in to a studio apartment with another more insane pickme, who raped and hit him for not dating her. Afterwards she moved to Las Vegas and got addicted to crack. Luckily the dude and I are still friends and can laugh about how stupid we both were back then.

idk how i changed after that, I just stopped caring about men. I just realized they were all awful, and I was dumb for thinking they ever saw me as equal to them. I found PP and FDS and now I feel great. I've started to go out my way to include more women in my life. He still tries to text me/call me/email me/IM me and I don't respond. I feel like I literally leveled up. I don't even feel like I want to respond.

In one way or another, I think we all have manifested pick me behaviors when younger, clueless or in love (at some degree)

I would qualify myself now as a very tough minded person thanks to the experience prior, especially when it comes to self esteem and men. We wrongly think we have to adapt into some kind of mold, or act nice, polish ourselves into what our partner think we should act/look. Some anons said it earlier, men hate it (but they enjoy the benefits of it)

Personally, the biggest clown i have ever been was when I dated a man in my 16, first time, madly "in love" (as much as you can imagine a virgin clueless naive 16 years can call it love). I thought it was hot to pretend i loved sex, i didn't care if he spend nights out with his friends in a club without sending me any messages, i accepted possessive behaviors, I said yes to everything. I even accepted sex acts from him i didnt really want in the end or felt comfortable with (deepthroat, anal) because i wanted to look confident and sexy in his eyes… the tomfoolery of it all was then he cheated on me for his ex after 6 months.
I dated him 4 years later at 20, and dumped him one month later because without the pink glasses of love i just felt hyper aware of all his flaws, and putting myself beneath him when i was a teen was just struggling with self love and wanting to be "fully loved".


Now Im single but quite happy, I feel like after this experience as a first time I unfortunately became very wary and prudent and it's annoying to be that closed off, but I can't trust most men, I wish I could let go of this wall, would love advices haha

I really didn’t have a chance of not turning out to be an exceptional pickme. It was a perfect storm of unchecked mental illness, socialization and online grooming. I can’t express to you how glad I am I found lolcow when I did, I was SO close to whoring myself online. My only saving grace was having always been an internet nobody who values anonymity so the fuckery largely stayed offline.

At first I was flabbergasted by anons’ “prudish, pearl-clutching” attitude but you were so unapologetic, unafraid to say fuck you to beliefs I have regarded as normal and right, to be stating otherwise was an act of rebellion. Completely different from the edgy contrarian politically incorrect shit I read in men’s spaces, to which I would simply think them stupid and move on. I guess deep down, I knew things weren’t right, but my fear of not being a “cool girl” was overwhelming. I didn’t want to be unfuckable, unlovable.
I read all the threads and recommended essays in the months after that. Made some NAMALT infights but they were out of genuine confusion and ignorance, a good chunk of my inner world was getting dismantled. I never felt bad or defensive when anons called me pickme retard. This sort of tough love frankness from fellow women who actually have my best interest in mind was something I’ve yearned for my whole life. It’s invaluable compared to men’s self-serving “niceness”.
Now the prospect of growing old with my best friends far far away from men’s bullshit fuels my daydream. I am working in therapy to overcome my traumas preventing me from pursuing women romantically and wholely. In short my pink-pilling was gradual yet fast and life changing. I will always hold lolcow fondly in my heart even if it eventually gets forever degraded by trannies and Twitter handmaidens.

but i also feel like it's worse with men. like god damn it i've pretended to totes relate to anime that were only relatable to teenage boys/young men and made me feel unseen as a real human woman, just so a guy wouldn't think i "didn't get it". pretending objectification is ok with me because i'm a cool girl who deserves to be loved. ugh.

I feel like almost everyone (male and female) from my friend group when I was in my teens/early 20s perpetuated this idea that most women were gold diggers, and if you wanted to be the "cool girl," it meant you basically could not ask for anything ever or have any kind of standard.

I bought into it like a little idiot. I was always ready to put down any woman who wasn't happy with a dinner at Applebee's and remind everyone how I'm sooo happy eating wherever, because it's about the tImE wE SpEnD tOgEtHeR, not the restaurant!

I can forgive myself for all this because I was young, and at least he equally embarrassed himself with all the pathetic suicide baiting. I can't forgive myself for reconnecting with him in my mid 20s and planning to meet up, just for him to cancel on the day of with a lame excuse. I think I just wanted him to be into me so I could reject him for once, but even that is giving him way too much power. The whole thing was a lesson in what not to do, never again.

There were a few silver linings though - soon after we broke up, I dated his best friend who I ended up liking way more, had a bigger dick and enjoyed eating pussy. And when we spoke years later, turns out the girl he cheated on me with (an ex I was ALWAYS paranoid and jealous about) cheated on him so often it gave him ED lmao.

I'm a black lesbian and I notice this is extremely common among black butches (studs/AGs). It's such a turn-off.

LOL yup, they're always the most insecure in their relationships. One of the more "popular" stud's girlfriend had the same major as me and was in several of my classes.

It made me lose my shit when I heard them call other women "hoes" and "bitches" casually. I wanted to fucking choke them. It's bad enough that men do it to us all the time.

I even wrote a university essay using trp Ideologies, and got a 50 on it. I’m still cringing to this day.

I never tried to reach out to males since I always felt too ugly, fat, and introverted lel.

Luckily I stumbled upon lolcow before it was too late, finally realizing that I shouldn’t do this to myself. I went through the radfem rabbit hole, and now I’m just vibing and trying to better myself, albeit clumsily. I’m 21 now, trying to get my life back together. I’m still fat and on academic probation though.

Currently trying to lose weight, get healthier, graduate from uni.

I refer to myself more as a "female simp" (since I adore and respect other women rather than being an NLOG) but yeah, basically pick me.

>The issue with pickmes Is they are doing things girls would like and appreciate
This is the realization that hit me in the face (among other things) and shouted at me that I should have been dating women all along.
Women are generally more attractive than men and can actually appreciate what I have to offer…but the appeal of the social acceptability of being with a man was strong, especially for someone who spent so long being a social failure.

Yeah. Most men’s brain can’t function beyond “me do good thing. Me get pussy.”. They only understand working hard and being rewarded with pussy. They don’t really understand sweet gestures towards them in relationships and that is why doing cute little things like baking them cupcakes and planning picnics and shit is pointless.

I’ve had guys ask me out minutes or even seconds after meeting them, I kindly declined and offered friendship then they stopped talking to me afterwards or ask for my number.

Nowadays, they just stop talking to me.

Would having only male friends count as pick-me behaviour? I feel like it does count as that. All the women I've met who only had guy friends have been very 'male-sympathetic' who believe women are evil.

No. 598697

>>598692
(I'm anon above you) While I did have only male friends I wanted to impress really hard, I didn't really sympathize with them in the sense of agreeing with them mistreating girls (I stood up for the girls and spoke up against it), I just wanted to be liked by anybody at all since I was bullied a lot before. Though I did tolerate a lot of the stuff I wouldn't tolerate nowadays, but I think it depends on the people and situation.

I have to say it kinda hurts to be called an NLOG just for having male friends when so much of it is circumstantial.
I mentioned in another thread, I think it was about bullying, that I only had one (male) gay friend who didn't want to be seen with me in public and later told everyone in my small town I was prescribed benzos which got me ostracized even more.
People called me a scrote and a pickme just because I didn't have female friends and my best friend at the time was a gay male, even though it's not even something I wanted.

I grew up best friends with my older brother and he got me into "cooler" music and video games, although I took Nintendo fangirl route. Grew up in a suburban street in the 90s and WWF wrestling, baby born, pretending we were the characters in Friends and sneaking off to play Barbies with the girls was all very normal. Was obsessed with skater boys and jealous of Avril Lavigne. Saw a beautiful skater boy at my highschool and dug enough to get his msn. I use to be so good at sweet talking anyone over msn, be it girls I wanted to hang out with, boys, even had a few older male predator types I felt special talking too. Eventually got the skater boy, ditched my best friend because she was hotter than me and I was jealous lol (probably worst mistake of my life) and ended up getting engaged to this skater. Ended up I hated everything about him, wasted 8 years of my life and don't even want to count the money. He proposed to me after a fast food restaurant with a ring he bought off amazon. I posted that story on fb. Extremely embarrassing. Reevaulated my whole life in therapy due to abandonment issues stemmed from father (shocking!). Have not been on Facebook in years. Still get cringe attacks about what I use to feel confident about bragging about on fb and I bragged a lot. I always felt I was a strong opioniated person but I did lay down a lot for people's approval. It's a constant work in progress. While staying truer to myself I've had to deal with rejection more that's more transparent but also I respect the lesson in learning not everyone can work together and to have some fucking standards lol

I have never had any friends only guys who want to fuck me and now I'm 26 with no friends. I wouldnt say I'm a pick me I just lack social skills. Which makes it easier for men who just want to fuck you to swoop in. When they realise you'll never fuck them then they are not your friend anymore. I really want girlfriends. ): but it feels too late. I've tried bumble friends aswell. Never happens. Anyway I dont think I'm a pickme on purpose. Just because of my lack of social skills men always interact easier because they're equally as socially retarded. I've pandered to men under the idea that they'd remain my friend since I was a teen only to have no friends now I'm older.

Uhh, are you me? My male friends always remained close to me after rejection but constantly negged and gaslighted me in any way they could. Gossiped about me too. I usually dropped them once I had no more use for them because I’d always be pissed about things they did for way longer than I would have been if I had stood up for myself.

It’s surprising how catty men can really be when they’re not the violent type. Generally these tend to be guys raised by their mothers, which for some reason turns them into entitled, petty, passive aggressive brats. Maybe it is because I was raised in a shitty environment but I’d much rather deal with someone yelling at me out of anger than mind games and subtle sabotage.

It took that for me to realize how many of my “friends” are doing shit like this to me, to remember how many exes went online to bitch about me in the most exaggerated way possible. It’s fucking ridiculous. I’m hoping I can make some girl friends after quarantine. I’m worried that they’ll be shitty to me too since I’m socially inexperienced but the possibility they won’t is better than having to deal with a dude sitting next to you negging you bc he’s half mast and the ocean is dry

Being surrounded by guy friends definitely immerses in the male context of society. I think men do have legitimate problems and there is an internet bubble issue where men and women are effectively divided from being able to communicate their issues.

>I stay because "he said he wanted to buy a house with me one day uwu and his friends love me and say dumping me was a mistake!"
>I tried my hardest to win him back doing stuff he didnt want me to do like his laundry, making meals even though he only ate out, taking care of his animals
>continue to mess around with him on the side and even help him cheat on college courses
>girl finds out I still live there and he still fucks me, he doesnt want to stop having a "friendship" with me so she dumped him
>"congrats you got what you wanted. this is all your fault!"
>I ask him when we would get back together since we're both single and acted so sad/heartbroken when he dumped me, he says he doesnt know and continues carrying on trying to date other women
>still desperately trying to win his affections back
>I finally start to realize he really doesn't give a fuck about me since he constantly rubs in my face the women who flirt with him/want to date him, but I'm too chickenshit to move out
>I start trying to see other people, he gets mad because I'm not home to greet him like always, when I stayed away for the night to hook up he starts calling me a slut/talking about how I'm getting gangbanged/I'm taking my best guy friend's big black cock and hes rubbing it on his pillow?
>He ended up a few days later literally wrestling me to the ground, and when I got up shoving me hard enough to leave a handprint bruise on my chest and knock me into some chairs
>Nope. Enough is enough. This guy gives literally zero fucks about you girl. Run.

Worthless lost just about everything after I left. He couldn't afford rent so he lost the apartment, lost his job, lost a lot of money trying to invest, his disgusting car broke down, his friends turned on him when I revealed with proof how he actually felt about them, just about everything. Only thing he's gained from all this is weight. I wanted so hard for him to like me because I wanted a long term relationship/marriage with someone, so I did everything he asked and then some. He was the type who always blamed other people for his problems and all his past relationships were dramatic and ugly because his exes were "crazy". He loved preying on young/emotionally immature girls and from what I could see internet sleuthing he sunk his claws into his high school sweetheart, who is definitely a pickme that tried her hardest to shove herself into our relationship.

He's a huge asshole and deserves nothing but he did teach me a lot about myself and to stop breaking my back carrying these inferior men. There's no rush to lock someone down, and only agree to something if you're comfortable with it, don't just do it to make your partner happy.

I, regretfully, have been a pickme up until the past few years.

I was a pickme with the geeky, gamer, nice guys by advocating for men's rights because men are so oppressed and women live life on easy mode. Nice guys always finish last, that type of thing.
Then when I moved on to being a pickme for the "chads" I became the trad wife type. It's only natural for a woman to be the homemaker, after all. I just want to suck dick and cook and clean all day uwu.

I guess like 2 years ago I realized how truly atrocious I was being and how all of these men have cheated on me and abused me despite me trying to be the perfect, complacent waifu. Now I don't even have female friends anymore because I was such an insufferable person to be around for any woman that didn't share the same mindset as me. I really hate my former self and I'm incredibly embarrassed of how I used to be. I absolutely love women so much and I don't know what the fuck was wrong with me

It may shock some of you to know this, but swinging from one extreme to another doesn't indicate that you've actually healed from you crippling insecurities.
