Recently i’ve noticed a pattern with a few friends, while overtly they talk about female friendships and not giving a fuck about men. However, most of the things they do somehow is directed to please the male gaze and get male validation. Under the disguise of being a girl’s girl, and wanting to focus their friendships with other women, all they talk about is ‘MEN’. If their conversations were to undergo the bechdel’s test they would barely make it through.
The subtle nonchalant attitude of not wanting any male validation but gushing about it when a man likes your stories or replies to them. While complaining at the same time that this guy is so pathetic and lame but also replying back to him again and again. I mean if you find him so pathetic why is he still in your life? The amount of cognitive dissonance these girls have left me with is insane.
Such girls often criticise the behaviour of other girls with regard to men and their pick me behaviour but, doing this you are still focusing on men, that you deem to hate.
Oomf said that she wanted to join dating apps for fun and not to meet men, but again isn’t that also inherently wasting time on men.
In terms of hobbies and self fulfilment, I have barely seen them picking up any interests and hobbies. I think we need to be more cautious when vetting friends because a lot of girls are basically the same content of a pick me but in a different font.
I don't get the point of having fake friends. If OP thinks their friends are pick mes they should have moved on from this situation long ago instead of making a post talking shi on them and still wearing a mask around them. That is LV behavior and possible projection.
