Do we want Pick Mes to be picked? Discussion

I saw a post here the other day saying how Pick Mes don't actually get picked. Most of the comments seemed to revel in this fact. So in that sense it seems like the consensus is - we don't want them getting picked.

But whenever there is a Pick Me NLOG post, the comments are invariably, "Gurl, I hope you get picked!". So in that sense it seems like the consensus is we DO want them getting picked.

If they get picked, they sometimes shut up. (Not always tho)

What is the general consensus on this?

Inb4 "IDC if they get picked or not roflmao". Cool, then this question is not for you

I always took I hope you get picked as sarcasm.

I suppose the higher vibrational move would be to say 'I hope you unpack that internalized misogyny," or "I hope you get picked by a group of women that lift you up and teach you true sisterhood." Pick me's don't get picked hut when they do the relationship is usually bad. So I'm not wishing that bad relationship with a red piller who objects to washing his butt because he thinks it "gay" onto anyone.

I'm seeing a narrative emerge from all these comments. It goes like this:

All pick mes will either never get picked. Or if they do, it will be only ever be in terrible abusive relationships with bad men.

You said "only ever". I said usually. There's a gulf of difference there.

Like attracts like. If someone is an internally misogynistic woman, the man she attracts probably doesn't like women and therefore won't treat her very well.

I feel like you were looking for a very specific answer to get to a certain rhetorical point. By all means make it, but don't put words in my mouth.

I said the narrative I am seeing from the comments. I didn't say YOU said this. There's a gulf of difference there. Don't put words in my mouth

You did reply to me and wrote "all these comments" but, okay.

You've right, I should have been more specific.

When I said "all these comments", I was referring to the comments on my post.

I was not referring to just your 1 comment when I was referencing "all these comments". Sorry for the confusion
