      Men seem to have surface level relationships it doesn’t get deeper than their interests. I think women speak on a more personal and emotional level to each other and naturally this can cause emotional issues that look like “drama.” I don’t think that’s always a bad thing it’s normal to not always get along.

      To go after men who are the epitome of your daddy issues instead of ones you can genuinely feel appreciated by.
      There's plenty wrong with that, and even today it's still romanticized through Tik Tok, Instagram, and other social media platforms. Even though yes, film in particular has chosen to distance itself from that because it's hypocrisy to sell people on something that isn't a guarantee and tell them that's the source for their happiness especially when Hollywood itself has been ridiculously abusive of its workers (With women suffering SA there and coming out about it).

I thought boys would swoon around me (not to have a relationship, but to be admired) so I could be "one of them", but the truth was that only a few liked me, other were like "oh you're a tomboy? Cool". Of course sometimes I was jealous of other girls amd called them "stupid bimbos".

They yell at each other and insult each other, create so much drama if their ego is attacked.
    I get some tea from my boyfriend. One of the times was when his business partner started yelling at the staff because of one of his daughter's personal items was lost at the event that he (the partner) hosted. This business partner was also at this event but he was so intoxicated he didn't track his personal belongings. And then he got offended when the staff told him that it was given back to him but he probably forgot where he put it because he was so intoxicated. Turns out his daughter's belongings were still at the venue. But this man cursed at everyone down the chain instead of acknowledging his role and/or going to search for it himself.

      Because we live in a patriarchal (misogynistic) society that demonizes feminine traits.
      To survive, whether man or woman you have to adopt masculine traits. So, the logical thing becomes shunning feminine traits and embracing masculine traits.
      I don’t think either is weak. We all have (and need) to some capacity these traits.

    Marriage is overrated. In Germany marriage is not as important for women as it is in the USA. I know many people, myself included, who don't value a ring on their finger. You shouldn't judge the value of a relationship based on whether you're married or not. There are quite a few unhappy marriages out there..
    Personally, I find it even more honest if you decide every day to share life together, without the predetermined framework or pressure of a formal marriage.

    Pick-me girls usually don’t get picked, but when she does get picked, it’s because she was the consolation prize, not the grand prize. The man couldn’t get his dream girl, so he settled for the pick-me girl because he didn’t want to be alone.
    In fiction, Carrie Bradshaw is the archetypal “pick me” girl. She was NOT Mr. Big’s dream girl, but she would fall all over herself just to get him to “pick” her as “the one”, including be a mistress to him when he got married to his “dream girl” Natasha. The penny finally dropped for Carrie when Mr. Big died, and she discovered that he left $1M to his real “dream girl” Natasha.

We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.

    I think the men who marry shortly after being with a pickme for years date on the side then once they line someone up, they dump the pickme, wait a few months to make it look "respectable" and wed. Planning even a small wedding takes time, so there was likely stuff going on in the background.

      This. If a woman is not a man’s dream girl but she provides benefit to him, he’ll keep her around for the benefits while he continues to look for his “dream girl”. If he finds his “dream girl”, he does EXACTLY what you said - dumps the long time girlfriend, waits a few months, then married the “dream girl”. If he never find his “dream girl”, he settles for the “good enough girl”.
      That’s exactly what happened to a friend of mine. She was head over heels in love with this guy, but he kept telling her that he didn’t want to get married or have any more kids (he had one child from a previous marriage). When he found his “dream girl”, he dumped her, and within 6 months, he married the “dream girl”, then 2 months later, the “dream girl” was pregnant! It affected my friend a lot.

We're only 21 this year and he married me this year as well after two years of dating. We're still young so we're not rushing to have kids and start a family. But one thing I hugely appreciate about him is that he is not flimsy or flaky like most guys I hear would be. A month into our engagement (maybe even less) we got us a place to rent and moved in together. We joined our finances and are cruising better than most of our peers. Been living with him for over a year now and married for 6 months and we never fought about money, never fought about who owns who, we had our challenges because we have different likes and personalities but we love and benefit from each other through those differences. When he wanted to get himself something nice, he wanted to also have the money to get me something nice of the same value too. He's not big with surprises but he would give me anything i want and moreover, need ☺️

Bcuz v rarely have d insight into anyone's personal life to label them. Outside of that, as a concept, the pick me girl really makes a lot of sense. It explains so much about d cultural pressure dat us women are subjected to since childhood.

You defend someone because you believe in justice and you want everything to be done right. Your job isn’t to let someone get away with murder. Your job is to make sure the defendant’s rights aren’t being violated and that the trial is was conducted properly. The purpose of a trial is to ensure that Justice is survived not to “win”. That being said the system is fucked and I don’t believe in it too much but that’s another story.

It didn't take 2 months for me to realize that men had their issues too 😂😂. I was 15 and just trying to graduate from university with a first class, yet men (I mean actual adult men) kept bugging me, some actually asked me "are you a baby/child?" "Why are you acting like a child?" 😂😂 Hello, I'm only 15!!! I then went into my "I'm not like other girls" phase, except that I wasn't really checking for the dudes either: I was wearing makeup, I don't care about how I look, career focused etc. Now I'm 23, and I've realized I'm just a different person, like 9 billion other people are different. No more comparing myself to other people: I'm a very hairy person, to the point that men say "give me some" , but I've seen girls that I think look good that are as hairy. People really should focus on finding their purpose in life and loving themselves, disregarding what others are saying or doing. Just enjoy life.

    I only have one thing to add to the side convo about marriage... marriage is absolutely a necessity in my opinion. Marriage is more than relational security, it's financial security, property security and so much more. If you are truly happily in a long term relationship with your partner, marriage will not change that dynamic. I say this often but if you are a heteronormative individual look up what queer people have had to endure before gay marriage/ partnerships were legalized and you'll see why marriage is so much more than a piece of paper. I have plenty of relationships in my family (20, 30, even 40+ years) where the surviving partner had to endure so much foolishness because they did not marry their partner (specifically after the death of their partner). This also goes for people that have found new love after a previous relationship and have kids from said previous relationship. If you don't believe in marriage, you need to evaluate why that is. Instead of denormalizing marriage and partnership we need to normalize equal partnerships, respect and commitment. Also -- if you don't believe in marriage at least get legal, notarized documents about assets and other things. Women tend to outlive men and it is us that get left out to dry when bad things happen. Last story (I've been given permission to share this), I have a friend that was with her HS sweetheart and they had 2 kids. He was murdered and because they were not married nor had any legal documentation about what would happen in the event of one of their deaths -- his mom, out of pure spite, went to card to gain access to everything he owned. Even things they had both of their names on -- my friend either had to pay his mom out or sell, split the profit and get something else -- specifically THEIR HOME! That's why I'm so adamant about marriage and making the commitment, especially if you and your partner have a healthy, happy relationship and plan to be together.

    When men wrote all that religious dogma sooo many rons ago, im convinced there were women whispering in their ears suggesting that men are oh so special and we simple women could never understand men's geopolitical goals or why no one understands their art and therefore there should be rules that separate the sexes. The men enthusiastically agreed not realizing they had just thown these proverbial female rabbits into the proverbial briar patches. Into the SWOW ( the secret world of women) they escaped free of masculine judgement and out of these covens wonderful gains were made.

    Marriage is nothingbbut a legal paper. It doesn't really matter. But if it is so insignificant that it doesn't matter, then why can't you give your partner that. Just my opinion
