A pick me Pearl is a woman that is willing to do anything for male approval, will embarrass or throw women under the bus but in the process she is rejected from the demographic of men she is pandering to, due to the fact that she is to masculine/outspoken.
"she says all the right things for the type of man she wants, why isn't anyone picking her?"
"It's because she's a pick me pearl"

A Pick-me American is someone who feels insecure or ashamed for being an American citizen and dunks on the US and fellow Americans to get validation from people in other countries. Some will make videos on social media, blanketing the whole US as a monolithic hellhole with no diversity in state, culture, or ethnicity. They harmfully project their personal experience like it's true everywhere in the States. This creates a false view of Americans abroad, even if it's skewed by Pick-me's self-hatred, causing prejudice or misunderstanding about Americans or the US. Pick-me's have a rose-colored lens when viewing the world vs. the US and tend to cherry-pick topics. They think culture (European)abroad is only authentic. Ignoring cultures like Appalachian, Cajun, Tejano, and indigenous people whose history is older than the founding of the US because it's not Eurocentric. Nothing validates them more than having Europeans agree with them while they bash other Americans. Some pick-me's try hard to show how un-American they are, but when they say something stupid or false and get called out, they say, "I'm just an American🤪" to save themselves.
Americans who want to travel or move abroad are fine. What's wrong is Americans who go abroad and say they're Canadians, bash fellow Americans, or apologize for being born in the US. The US and its people aren't perfect, but what you see online can be skewed to show the bad and wrong, ignoring the good aspects, of which there are many!

Pick-me American examples
Vanessa said calmly, " I don't know why the US always has to be different from the rest of the world. Unlike other Americans; I use metric, not imperial!"
Other Americans watching this pitiful display." Who is going to tell her that we actually use a mixed system like Canada and the UK and use Metric for things such as science, etc, and use US customary, not imperial."
An American Tiktoker trying to earn pity points"Stupid Americans, it's so horrible how they want to put hot sauce on a schnitzel they paid for!"
only to delete her post after getting called out by others.

someone with obscene wealth who nonetheless is desperate to be admired the by proletariat masses. In the same way a pick me ass bitch "isn't like other girls," a pick me ass billionaire acts like they're better than their ultra rich peers - I'm not a regular billionaire, I'm a cool billionaire! Yet like a standard pick me, they criticize their fellow 1%ers to elevate themselves in the public eye...perhaps hoping that they will be spared with the revolution comes.
Ostensibly they are against the deep state, believe in free speech, and are simply down to earth, regular guys. But really they just want to be called brave for getting themselves tax cuts, spreading Q-anon conspiracies and saying rude/politically incorrect things on the internet. Unfortunately they get a disproportionate amount of media coverage because they have so much money they can literally buy/control anything if they want (i.e. presidencies, politicians, social media platforms, newspapers, sports teams, etc.).
Ellen Degeneres employed this persona in self-parody in her stand-up 'Relatable' in 2018, joking she fully empties her toothpaste just like us poors do...except she squeezes it out by flattening the tube with a gold bar.

Donald Trump is a pick me ass millionaire, sure, but Elon Musk is a pick me ass BILLIONAIRE.
Dr. Oz: Today I went to "Wegners" to pick up crudites for game night at my NJ mansion, and just like you middle class folks in Pennsylvania, I am aghast at this inflation! You should put me in charge, I'll stand up to Washington elites
Trump: Crooked Hillary and low-energy Jeb are owned by the bankers. I'm independently wealthy, I can't be bought, certainly not for $10M by fellow failson Timothy Mellon...I like steak with ketchup. And McDonald's. America, baby!
Musk: I bought Twitter because unlike Jack Dorsey, I'm against censorship, as is the Saudi Royal who is its second largest stakeholder, that's why I banned D-List comedian Kathy Griffin after she mocked me on the platform...fucking bitch.

An actor who gets in a play with a lot of assistance from actor friends and then ditches said actor friends in the play THEY ALL AUDITIONED FOR, then proceeds to suck up to other, 'superior' actors, director, stage manager, etc.. Typically acts different around friends than around superiors, much like the pick me girl.
