A “Pick me” individual is an individual who belongs to a marginalized group within a society who seeks approval from the dominant hegemonic group by repeatedly reiterating the validity of negative biases held by the dominant hegemony against the “Pick me’s” own group.
The desperation for the approval can lay in the Pick me’s poor self confidence, seen as a way highlight theirselves without highlighting oneself, and an avenue for political or financial gain

Get the Pick memug. A girl who desperately seeks male attention by acting like they are set apart, "not like the others", ironically setting them apart from other girls. Often uses insults directed at other women (usually behind their backs).
Example #1:
Friend #1: "I'm not like the other girls.. I'm nice, unlike that piece of trash Becky."
Friend #2: "You're giving off major pick-me girl vibes dude."
