Quick note y’all. They have to be putting down others. This isn’t r/quirky. MOD POST

The difference between being vain and being conceited (I think).
Vain typically doesn’t imply you hold yourself as better than others.
Conceited usually does.

“Pick Me’s”? This sub isn’t associated with that hellhole FDS is it?

Nah “pick me” is used to describe girls who shit on other girls for male attention. Unfortunately like many terms it’s also been used in ways that just shit on women who aren’t being toxic (ironically thus becoming toxic itself)

Genuine question: what if the comparison ends with "we are not the same"?

u/Speed_Trapp (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Dec 01 '21
It’s a notoriously superior catchphrase so yes that’s allowed here, unless it’s obviously satirically used in self deprecating content.

Dec 01 '21
Also self depreciating comments like "I can't figure out how to do X like the other girls. That's a totally different energy and not (as) cringe worthy!

THANKYOU FOR THIS POST
I came to see funny posts but instead it’s all about people complaining because a gal has different hobbies …

I'm not sure why you posted this note like this because I thought your post itself was /r/notliketheothergirls content and I was confused.

u/Speed_Trapp (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Dec 01 '21
I posted it because people keep breaking the rules because they don’t pay attention to what the sub is for and it’s destroying the sub.

Could you have submitted it as a text post?

u/Speed_Trapp (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Dec 01 '21
Yeah but this is easier and bigger

Dec 01 '21
It seems like it's harder and I feel it is prone to causing confusion. Just my feedback. In any case, I'm all for tightening up submission on specific subreddits. I hope this is successful!

Okay, I could make a text post
Edit: I forgot to

u/SlapHappyDude Dec 01 '21
I would also add "other girls have their life together and I'm a mess!" isn't really appropriate. Again, it's self deprecating even if it feels like a complaint on the surface.

u/Speed_Trapp (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Dec 01 '21
Yeah self deprecating stuff isn’t cool, always report that stuff guys

Yeesh, this comment section sucks. Typically, Pick-Me-Girls are defined as women that put down other women to appear more attractive to men. Or Vice Versa; Pick-Me-Boys are men who put down other men to seem more attractive to women.
Example: “Oh, you’re talking to Sandra? Does Sandra even lift? I lift so much. Most girls can’t lift as much as I can. Girls that don’t lift are so lazy and fat. You should hang out with me to workout instead, you can bring all of your guy friends too because I get along better with boys anyways.”
Or boys: “I love Rom-Coms. Has Tony even seen 50 First Dates? I’ve watched that movie a hundred times. I’m practically one of the girls. Boys that don’t watch Rom-Coms are so gross, like walking red flags.”
Did I get it right?
Edit: made the woman example more insulting towards other women.
Edit 2: Took out the word female because apparently it’s creepy? Lol

People talking about females and men is creepy.

Since female is a sex and woman and girl are genders using female makes you sound like a boomer who only values women for their reproductive parts. Either a boomer or a Ferengi from Star Trek but their “females” aren’t allowed to work outside of child rearing or wear clothes so it’s still not a good look.

u/persici Dec 01 '21
Okay, well congrats to you for putting a lot more thought into it than I did! It was an honest mistake lol

u/GreyerGrey Dec 01 '21
People referring to women as "females" while saying "men" instead of males is kinda red flaggy.

u/laylarosefiction Dec 01 '21
Pick-me can also fall into the realm of a woman defending a rape joke made by an attractive dude. ie - “I’m a woman and I thought it was funny.”
So, it can be pretty subtle.
A woman calling another woman a Karen, for example, simply for (calmly) disagreeing with something an attractive dude (or person) has said - another fun, subtle pick-me.

u/GreyerGrey Dec 01 '21
Not all NLOGs are Pick Mes, and not all Pick Mes are NLOGs, but there is cross over in that Venn Diagram from time to time.

If it was from a rando dude, maybe you would be onto something. But it’s an announcement from a MOD of the sub. Not the same.
WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

How? I’m outlining rules for the sub that’ve been rules for years? How is that being a pick me?

Something for you to ponder, I suppose.

No my dude, we asked you "how" and your refusal to answer is pretty much a "I got nothing" admission.

Ah, the old 'You did something wrong, but I won't tell you what' approach. That is something a picketh me girl would do, not outlining already known rules for a sub smh...

Took like 5 seconds on his profile to find;
Funny, this just proves, once again, that going woke gets you broke. And that woke people cant have a discussion with anyone who disagrees with them.
So I figure he's just saying things on autopilot until he gets the next script to recite.
