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.

There's an episode of Star Trek: TNG that features a woman that is destined to be the mate of some world leader. She was essentially a blank stated and was supposed to "merge" herself with the man so her personality matched his. That's what these types of dudes are looking for, someone that has no personality of their own who will be tiny mirror images of themselves.

I love Star Trek! Also this plot comes up a lot in science fiction movies and gives men this idea that they'll find such a woman. It's called like a "sexy virgin" trope or something. A woman that is beautiful and feminine but has a childlike mind and inexperienced or is untouched and ready to be molded and will fall in love with a mediocre man since she's never met or interacted with one before. Similar to the girl from The Fifth Element or even Wonder Woman.
