SNEAKO

00:00:00.560 Oh my god, my queen! Oh, I miss you. This is Brett Cooper. Am I a pick-me girl? No, you're not you.

00:00:07.920 Brett, you're... I wanna- I wanna pick you.

00:00:11.720 What's up, guys? Welcome back to the comment section. Happy Tuesday. I am Brett Cooper.

00:00:16.240 So, since I first started this channel, I've gotten a lot of comments from trolls, I would say,

00:00:23.320 telling me that I am a pick-me girl. And literally all, I had no idea what that meant.

00:00:29.100 I was like, I don't- why do people keep saying this? Or they would say things like,

00:00:32.480 why are you trying so hard to be like a dude? I was like, okay, so-

00:00:35.400 What the fuck? Why are you trying to block me from Brett? 0.99

00:00:40.100 Ah! Brett! Okay, okay, okay, okay. I can see you.

00:00:46.180 So then I found out that those might be correlated. I looked into it, and this whole concept is just wild.

00:00:52.740 So I thought today we would do a deep dive.

00:00:54.440 I volunteer as tribute!

00:00:56.060 Brett, I wanna do a deep dive.

00:00:57.420 This skit has-

00:00:58.800 In GTA, on your content.

00:01:00.300 Is a half a million views, and it attempts to explain being a pick-me girl,

00:01:04.740 so I thought I would react to it as your resident pick-me girl, so we can watch it together.

00:01:09.860 Anyway, if you guys don't wanna talk about Justin, or me, or my dope music career,

00:01:13.420 then what do you wanna talk about?

00:01:14.340 You're a pick-me girl, Anna. You hate other women and only feel validated by the attention of men. 1.00

00:01:18.820 It's not your fault. You're a toxic byproduct of a patriarchal society that protects men at any cost. 0.98

00:01:23.760 Is this a podcast or a skit? This is not real. 0.97

00:01:27.080 How dare you both accuse me of internalized misogyny just because I'm more attractive and f***able than you? 0.94

00:01:34.260 Can you tell that these are all actors? These are all people who do Zoom auditions on a regular basis? 0.96

00:01:38.760 Real people don't talk like this. How could you say that about me?

00:01:43.580 There it is. You're literally saying your worth is in your desirability to the opposite sex. 1.00

00:01:48.300 Okay, Michelle, look. You wear flannel. We get it. You hate men. It doesn't mean that I have to hate men, too.

00:01:52.980 It has nothing to do with men and everything to do with the problematic way you view women. 0.56

00:01:56.700 Why? Because I believe in female privilege? 1.00

00:01:58.600 I mean, that's not a thing.

00:01:59.860 So, being a pick-me girl is apparently hating women, thinking that you're better than them and that you're more attractive.

00:02:06.420 Yeah, I don't know what pick-me is. I just, I know that's a TikTok word, but I don't get it.

00:02:10.580 Active? Than all the other ones?

00:02:13.040 This is why I like hanging out with guys. Women are so complicated and so much drama. 1.00

00:02:17.200 Brian, shut up! 1.00

00:02:21.860 Drama. 1.00

00:02:22.540 See how willing you are to throw women under the bus? 1.00

00:02:24.660 That was one time, Melissa. One time.

00:02:27.940 And guess what? Katie's leg healed just fine.

00:02:30.960 Oh yeah, sure, she has a little bit of a limp, but if you ask me, it looks great on her. 1.00

00:02:34.340 When are you gonna let me live that down? It was like a month ago.

00:02:36.640 Look, we love you, Anna.

00:02:38.080 It's just that every time a guy comes into your life, you put our friendship on the back burner.

00:02:42.480 You literally bailed on your best friend's birthday to hang out with a guy that you've only known for a few weeks.

00:02:47.480 You constantly make excuses for men's bad behavior. You...

00:02:50.880 Nobody talks like this.

00:02:52.520 Make sexist jokes against women, and you victim blame no matter the situation.

00:02:56.060 Wow.

00:02:57.780 Okay.

00:02:59.020 I didn't know.

00:03:00.900 I'm sorry.

00:03:02.440 Truly.

00:03:03.600 What is this?

00:03:04.520 Okay, we didn't want to do this, but I think we have to.

00:03:10.800 What the hell is that?

00:03:12.320 Come on. 0.82

00:03:13.220 We have to show you where you came from.

00:03:20.620 Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!

00:03:23.460 What's wrong with being a pick-me girl?

00:03:25.640 You're supposed to want to be picked by a good man.

00:03:28.320 I don't know. All my best friends are guys.

00:03:30.780 I don't understand girls. 1.00

00:03:32.700 I'd rather lose my...

00:03:33.660 I...

00:03:33.940 Brett, chat. What the fuck is a pick-me? 0.99

00:03:35.880 I don't... I don't understand the definition. 0.99

00:03:37.440 Right to vote than lose my right to bear arms.

00:03:39.820 Oh my god.

00:03:41.420 What is this place?

00:03:43.080 Welcome to the byproducts of the patriarchy.

00:03:45.380 Whatever's going on here, stop it immediately.

00:03:47.560 Although that was funny.

00:03:48.440 The girl who was like, I'd rather lose my right to vote than my right to bear arms. 1.00

00:03:52.300 If I had to choose.

00:03:53.660 Yes, I'm sure the kid is mine.

00:03:56.160 Brett has my chiplets.

00:03:57.260 She's carrying them right now.

00:03:58.420 If you don't believe her, ask her.

00:03:59.700 We are getting married and I'm going to be monogamous for the rest of my life.

00:04:03.300 She's not wrong. 0.99

00:04:05.000 Oh, s***. I'm a pick-me girl. 0.99

00:04:07.060 So all the comments under this, people were taking it so seriously.

00:04:10.840 To be honest, it is very hard to get out of the pick-me girl phase.

00:04:13.640 At least it was, is for me.

00:04:14.940 I'm constantly improving.

00:04:16.300 Is it just seeking approval from men?

00:04:18.140 Dude, I'm in it too deep in some ways.

00:04:20.400 It's embarrassing, but at least I'm doing my best to someday overcome it.

00:04:24.540 What is this?

00:04:25.240 It's like, it's like BLM again.

00:04:27.220 Like I'm learning and listening. 0.94

00:04:29.000 Someone says, I'm trying very hard to make more female friends, but s***, making friends 1.00

00:04:32.960 is hard. 0.69

00:04:34.520 Yeah, it is.

00:04:36.200 Y'all, I just moved across the country to a random city.

00:04:39.980 Yeah, my city.

00:04:41.860 I can tell you making friends is hard.

00:04:43.980 I find the backlash to these.

00:04:45.240 If you guys didn't know, Brett's in the guest room.

00:04:46.540 She's streaming right now, but like we separate work and business of pleasure.

00:04:50.860 So like I'm streaming, she's over there.

00:04:52.660 You know, she, she going to cook dinner for me later and I'm going to be Bob the Builder.

00:04:56.380 I'm going to make her everything she needs and provide everything she needs for her life 0.67

00:05:00.380 and her amazing work.

00:05:02.260 Different girls to be a bit harsh. 1.00

00:05:03.780 As an adult watching mostly kids throw these terms around.

00:05:06.620 Some girls are genuinely tomboys. 1.00

00:05:08.500 Some have not had positive experiences with females.

00:05:11.160 Don't love all of these girls and with the ones who deliberately try to distance themselves

00:05:14.120 from women due to internal imbalances.

00:05:16.520 Let's not fight one extreme with another.

00:05:18.060 Every case is individual.

00:05:19.300 Yeah, this comment's good.

00:05:20.860 Like, I don't, I don't care if you're a guy or a girl. 0.99

00:05:23.960 If you're crazy or you have an internal imbalance, I actually really like that. 0.98

00:05:28.140 I'm going to start using it. 0.99

00:05:29.060 I will just distance myself from you.

00:05:31.680 I don't, I don't have the energy or the interest to deal with that.

00:05:35.180 It's not about gender.

00:05:36.080 It's just my general distrust and ambivalence towards people.

00:05:39.140 So now there's, there's also a whole TikTok genre explaining pick me girls, making fun

00:05:44.680 of pick me girls. 0.99

00:05:45.540 They have like pick me girls in different situations.

00:05:47.800 I did a deep.

00:05:48.680 Is it kind of pick me girl to be a girl who hates on pick me girls?

00:05:52.800 Dive.

00:05:53.840 Hashtag triggered.

00:05:55.340 Because apparently this is me.

00:05:56.660 But here's another girl explaining. 0.67

00:05:57.960 I'll pick you any day.

00:05:59.540 All right.

00:05:59.860 This is how to spot a pick me girl.

00:06:01.200 Listen, we did one on pick me boys.

00:06:02.660 Look, we love equality here.

00:06:04.080 So we got to do pick me girls as well.

00:06:05.760 I probably know about this.

00:06:06.520 I don't even have TikTok.

00:06:07.300 You know that, but I've heard about pick me girls so much because every girl I DM is 0.99

00:06:11.460 always like, I'm not trying to sound like a pick me, not to be a pick me.

00:06:15.120 I'm like, they're really trying so hard to not sound like that, but I cannot define it

00:06:19.980 for the life of me.

00:06:20.840 Hi, my name is Chloe and I am in fact your new best friend.

00:06:23.420 And I like to think I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two.

00:06:26.760 Okay.

00:06:26.980 I feel like pick me girls are a lot more like emotional.

00:06:29.260 Like they'll almost make it know that they're like a pick me girl. 0.96

00:06:32.620 I mean, they say the same stuff like, oh, I'm not like the other girl.

00:06:35.240 I'm just quirky.

00:06:36.420 What if Brett's not like the other girls?

00:06:38.020 In reality, they'll just kind of hang out with a bunch of dudes, which is fine, right? 0.99

00:06:41.080 Red flag, a girl who hangs out with a bunch of dudes, hot dogs fucking smashing into her 1.00

00:06:46.000 face. 0.99

00:06:46.500 But then their opinion will just kind of change based on the guy they're talking to or the

00:06:50.760 guy they like, like regardless of what they actually think.

00:06:53.480 Next up, I feel like Snapchat can be pick me girl central.

00:06:56.440 Like I feel like they're all queens of putting black screens on their story, saying stuff

00:06:59.840 like, oh, don't hit me up.

00:07:01.100 I'm sad.

00:07:02.080 Like, honestly, I've come to the conclusion they're saying, don't hit me up because they

00:07:05.740 want people to hit them.

00:07:06.740 Nobody text me.

00:07:07.860 I'm so sad right now.

00:07:09.520 Post on story.

00:07:10.560 Like they kind of want people to be worried about them.

00:07:12.940 So they'll play like juice world in the background and then say, God, I still see your shadows

00:07:17.020 in my room.

00:07:17.920 Guys, don't hit me up.

00:07:18.800 But in reality, they want that attention.

00:07:20.740 Everything I learn about this, people hate pick me girls. 0.78

00:07:25.640 Some girl commented on this and she was like, I'm kind of starting to be worried that I'm a

00:07:28.840 pick me girl, but not on purpose because I complain about my height all the time.

00:07:32.300 What?

00:07:33.600 Parentheses, I'm really short.

00:07:35.160 Who cares?

00:07:36.580 If you want to talk about your height, that's fine.

00:07:39.100 Can I not say anything without becoming a pick me girl?

00:07:41.620 Yeah, there's absolutely no definition of it.

00:07:43.960 It's just a girl who's seeking attention, but all girls seek attention, except for Brett 0.99

00:07:49.280 because she only needs my attention. 0.99

00:07:50.320 Shut up, Chad. 1.00

00:07:51.000 Get away from her. 1.00

00:07:51.860 Like things are going downhill rapidly for me here.

00:07:54.880 I thought that this might just be an internet trend, but there are literally

00:07:58.680 deep dives into pick me girls.

00:08:00.800 Yeah, I want to deep dive into you, pick me girl. 0.98

00:08:03.440 They're problematic.

00:08:04.560 All right, let's do a deep dive in GTA.

00:08:08.860 Like nature online, like an article form.

00:08:11.920 I thought that this was satire, but it's not.

00:08:13.740 I'm just going to read you a couple of lines from this.

00:08:15.240 Read me the lines.

00:08:16.220 This is from Modern Intimacy.

00:08:19.220 It's called The Psychology of the Pick Me Girl.

00:08:21.440 Psychology, tell me.

00:08:22.200 You're so smart.

00:08:22.680 Right at the beginning.

00:08:24.300 These women are easy to pick on because her attitude towards other women's interests, 1.00

00:08:28.020 mannerisms, lifestyle choices, and hobbies feels inauthentic and is ultimately rooted

00:08:32.760 in misogyny.

00:08:34.240 She has no problem putting other women down to gain male attention and validation, whether 0.63

00:08:37.680 or not-

00:08:38.140 Brett, you're going to be rooted in misogyny.

00:08:40.700 She knows that that is typically the intent.

00:08:43.320 The pick me mentality-

00:08:44.780 Stop calling me a limp.

00:08:46.760 This is my wife.

00:08:48.540 Brett is my wife.

00:08:49.340 I will live for her forever.

00:08:50.640 I don't give up.

00:08:51.380 I'm never cheating.

00:08:52.540 I'm a monogamous man.

00:08:53.640 I'm getting married to her.

00:08:54.580 She's expecting right now.

00:08:56.000 She has my triplets. 0.98

00:08:57.720 We're raising children.

00:08:58.640 She's homeschooling them. 0.97

00:08:59.700 I will bop the building of her house and she will make a nice garden and we'll go on

00:09:03.380 movie dates.

00:09:04.140 And why is the government trying to silence me for the fact that I love my wife?

00:09:07.580 Where's the screen?

00:09:08.500 Brett, Brett, Brett.

00:09:09.260 They're hiding my love.

00:09:11.320 Do you know it's a woman who lives within a restrictive male-centric standards that likely 1.00

00:09:17.440 is painful to some degree.

00:09:19.000 That's not to say that society should accept problematic behaviors, but that we might try to find

00:09:23.000 some empathy to understand that pick me girls potentially have not considered how their 0.96

00:09:26.840 actions and beliefs contribute to sexism, internalized misogyny, and ultimately the continued

00:09:31.220 oppression of women.

00:09:32.300 I'm oppressing people because I have male hobbies.

00:09:36.240 Help! 0.98

00:09:36.700 Help! 0.98

00:09:37.040 I'm beating-

00:09:37.380 Yeah, you have male hobbies, but I'm going to be the only male hobby you have left, Brett.

00:09:41.860 You can repress!

00:09:42.940 That was another thing in this article.

00:09:44.640 Hugh Brett Snooper.

00:09:46.520 They were like, oh yeah, if she likes male sports and that kind of thing. 0.91

00:09:51.140 Uh, yeah.

00:09:53.600 That's the patriarchy.

00:09:54.680 Yeah, talk about it.

00:09:56.020 I thought that, like, gender attributes were social constructs. 0.97

00:10:00.220 Mm-hmm.

00:10:00.640 I thought we were over that.

00:10:01.700 We are.

00:10:02.220 Someone who is a pick-me girl has likely not unpacked why she feels compelled to proudly 0.80

00:10:05.840 demonstrate loyalty to men while distancing herself from fellow women identifying people.

00:10:11.440 If you think that I'm a pick-me girl because I-

00:10:14.820 I'm a- I'm a- I'm gonna pick you up and I just wanna pick you up and-

00:10:20.140 And- and- and-

00:10:21.260 And you're gonna delete my stream for what I'm about to say.

00:10:24.120 I played male-dominated sports and I, I don't know, maybe seem chill and hang out with guys.

00:10:28.660 Yeah.

00:10:29.220 Wait, what?

00:10:30.160 What?

00:10:31.260 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?

00:10:32.920 I have played male-dominated sports and I, I don't know, maybe seem chill and hang out with guys.

00:10:37.800 What?

00:10:44.820 Like, that's fine.

00:10:51.000 I really don't care.

00:10:52.100 You can blame my three older brothers.

00:10:53.780 If you think I have a loyalty to men, it's because the best people in my life are my brothers.

00:10:59.660 And that- that's just where I've learned all of this from, so.

00:11:02.240 I feel like I can't even-

00:11:03.840 She only hangs out with her brother, sad.

00:11:05.120 She doesn't have male friends.

00:11:06.160 That's nonsense.

00:11:07.680 Refute any of this without somebody now coming back and being like,

00:11:10.980 you're a pick-me girl because you're saying that you're not, you're talking badly about women.

00:11:16.760 No, listen.

00:11:17.440 Me being a gun-toting snowboarder who wears flannels sometimes, does that make me any less of a woman

00:11:24.500 than someone who loves makeup and beautiful dresses and brunching? 0.99

00:11:28.100 Like, y'all can teach me about that and I will teach you how to whoop a man's ass at a gun range. 1.00

00:11:31.880 It's a good trade. 0.99

00:11:33.720 It's totally fine.

00:11:35.440 I don't go with the big deal. 1.00

00:11:36.700 Brett, whoop my ass at a gun range. 1.00

00:11:38.980 Wait, what? 1.00

00:11:39.440 No, I don't like the way that sounded.

00:11:41.480 Sorry.

00:11:42.220 All of this is just wild.

00:11:43.440 Like, we need to calm down and find other things to talk about.

00:11:46.020 Do you want to be the only person that is not caught up on the internet, ladies?

00:11:49.860 Yeah, I want to be the only person caught up on your internet.

00:11:54.000 Oh, God.

00:11:55.160 Brett, Brett, you got me acting wild, bro.

00:11:57.880 You got me acting crazy right now.

00:11:59.480 Juan's lying right now.

00:12:00.380 I know she's totally into half Filipino, half Haitian.

00:12:03.480 She was because she's expecting right now and she's pregnant with my kids, so. 1.00

00:12:07.300 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:12:09.440 That's it.

00:12:13.800 Is this your job?
