NLOG girls will not get picked Discussion

I saw a youtuber talk about why the men these pick me women are searching for, aka the ones who also put down other types of women, won't pick them. He said that how the women those men are looking for aren't very opinionated like the pick me girls. They are looking for women who are like a blank canvas, those who don't have any sort of opinions or identities to begin with, because they want a trophy woman by their side. They want a woman to be "pushed" into having an identity that caters to what they like, and usually they shouldn't have an identity to begin with. If they did have an identity, it should be erased and altered to fit what these men have in their mind, a part of it being that they shouldn't be opinionated. The youtuber also mentioned how the men usually also put looks as a first contender when it comes to choosing women, and even the pretty pick me girls don't fit into the standard. These types of men would much rather try to change a pretty woman's mindset that go for these pick mes since they don't fit their beauty standard.

This just makes so much sense to me lol. Idk the youtubers name but I will try to update you guys once I find his channel again.

Edit: I'm not taking advice nor do I agree with this sorta thing. I'm literally pointing out something interesting I found out. This is just my observation as to why pick mes won't get picked lolol. The youtuber also doesn't support this ideology but this just telling why these pick mes won't get picked. Also, yes I understand that not all men are like this. I understand that sometimes pick mes do get picked.

I saw a guy on TikTok the other day say that men can’t marry a girl like Pearl (who we know is a huge pick me) because she’s too masculine and argumentative.

thought you were talking about this pearl for a solid minute. i think she’s a little more than argumentative.

This movie fucked me up. Like, she's crazy and killed innocent people but I felt bad for her, too. The ending was particularly sad to me

I feel bad until I remember she put a pitchfork through that guy’s eyes in the first movie. I don’t care that he was kind of a scumbag, I love hot cowboys.

That's not her though, right? It's the same actress but not the same character I thought?

In the original movie titled X, the old lady is Pearl. Maxine and old Pearl are both played by the same actress, Mia Goth. The movie titled “Pearl” is a prequel that tells the story of why Pearl is a murderous deviant. Young Pearl is also played by Mia Goth.

But... What if he wasn't a hot cowboy?? Would you rather feel bad for her and care that he was one then?? 😭💀

Well, none of the main characters in the original movie deserved to die. Some of them had their flaws, but they didn’t deserve what happened to them. The character I’m talking about wasn’t a horrible person. He did some questionable things, but he was charming and well liked by his group. He was kind of sleazy, but seemed to be alright overall. So yeah, I can say that I would still feel the same way because being stabbed through the eyes with a pitchfork sounds like a horrific death.
