Pick-me

A pick-me is a noun used to describe a person, typically a straight man or a woman, who does things to get the attention of an “opposite group”. If it’s a straight woman, they’d say misogynistic stuff and throw other women under the bus to impress a man. Usually they’ll also blame issues caused by men on women such as saying that r@pe is the woman’s fault, not the man’s. In a straight man situation they’d say stuff like “no one likes me” and “of course you leave me like everyone else does”. This also applies for other groups such as LGBTQ+. An example would be if a group of straight people or a straight person would say something trans- or homophobic and the person of LGBTQ+ would go along with it to get the group or the other person to like them. Pick me’s are not nice people, their one goal is to get other people to like them.
