Men who sincerely apologize on behalf of/hates on their entire gender.
Anyone over high school age should be beyond these silly performative gestures which serve 0 purpose other than to show one’s immaturity and inability to distinguish that stereotyping is inaccurate and a terrible way to classify half of the world’s population.
The guy in the comments always on the side of any woman in an argument with a man, even if she’s wrong and everybody is laughing at them saying “hope she sees this, bro”. That guy.
The pick-me person doesn’t really translate well to the dominant group of people. If men are involved, this means they are trying to get along with a majority/ruling class where they aren’t part of and think they can win by dumping their own minority.
In that sense, there are certainly people like that. At around the time of Stonewall, there were conformist gay guys that thought that they could win by just playing along with straight guys. Simply put they can as well be called pick-me guys.
A guy who says ‘I’m not like other men’ right before proving he’s exactly like every other man who thinks being emotionally unavailable is a personality. Bonus points if he calls women ‘females.’
Yeah, the male feminist is a solid answer but I’ll go a different direction. The dudes who are chill and fun to hang with when it’s just the bros but the second a girl shows up they become a different person, trying to act “alpha” and generally become a douchebag.
I have to say, that even though I agree with the “fake feminist” as being problematic, I think the real pick me guy, is the guy who tries to be the alpha male- wannabe- Andrew Tate. He looks for male validation much more than female validation – and it’s always on expense of everyone else. The behaviour is similar to a 3rd grader in school.
I recently attended an acoustic guitar night, the kind of night where you were lucky if there were 30 people present, including the performers and bar staff.
During one performance, the guy on stage introduces his next number as a song about making love to that special someone. This prompted a guy at the bar to shout, “As long as it’s consensual!” He then started glancing at the punk-styled barmaid, who seemed entirely indifferent to the whole scene. I guess given her punk aesthetic he thought someone fighting against sexual violence would interest her?
So not sure what you’d call it, but that guy was definitely pick-me as fuck.
Everyone who thinks a male feminist is pick me, are low key incels themselves.
If you think the world doesnt need feminism, go check out what happens in third world countries.
It’s the guy who (thinks he) can speak on any topic at length with great detail. He will always try to dominate conversation with his feats and knowledge. “Yeah, I was at the world trade center like, an hour before the planes hit, we just left.” However; the moment you push back on his stories, he gets super defensive.
This is especially the case when said guy is speaking on a subject and there is an expert on the subject in the vicinity to corrects him. His lie is then exposed, he gets slightly despondent, then reorganizes himself, finds a topic said expert doesn’t know much about to validate himself to the group.
I tend to think “Simps” would be the male equivalent. They are literally doing anything and everything that a woman asks for to try and get some sort of positive reinforcement. Granted, they fail miserably because what woman respects or wants a submissive man. They try too hard and are too agreeable to ever have a healthy relationship.
Many people going with the “fake feminist” answer, but seeing as a pick-me girl is really an individual who’s part of an oppressed group (women) who wants to join the group who is doing the oppressing (misogynists), a male equivalent would be something like a gay person wanting to be part of the anti-LGTBQ movement.
The blokes who have to one-up everything you say. You did a 10km run? They did a 20km. You caught a big flathead? They caught a HUGE flathead. They can’t handle anyone to seem better than themselves.
Nice guys, they’re shower you with praise until you don’t fall on your knees for them then suddenly you’re an ungrateful hideous slut they never liked to begin with, who’ll complain about the “male loneliness epidemic” but call any woman who isn’t a retouched model a whale or butterface. Wow I wonder why no women want to waste their time on you.

A “nice guy”
the self-flagellating men who keeps insisting world would be a better place if 100% run by women only or that testosterone is some sort of disease.

Male feminist
Pick me boy or pick me guy.
Same/similar behaviours to a pick me girl.
“Proud male feminists”
“I’m an ally.”
“male feminists”, that aren’t actually feminists seems similar.
The dudes who pretend to be feminist to get validation but they’re really scary controlling misogynists.

Male feminist. If they were really feminists, they’d call themselves egalitarian.
A fuck boy
gym rat who loves telling you how much he can bench
Nice guy or male feminist is all I can think of

The guy that puts down other men. Pussy whipped. I’ve known a few guys like this and it’s strange to me but they tend to have no male friends.

I’m not a native speaker, what’s a “pick-me girl”?

“Pick up artists” and “Manosphere” guys
The “where my hug at” dudes
Where my hug at?

A male karen who’s gay
You can see them all. The. Time. On Reddit.
They go “against the grain” in comments and trip over themselves saying how bad typical male behavior is and how they aren’t like that at all.
The blokes who have to one-up everything you say. You did a 10km run? They did a 20km. You caught a big flathead? They caught a HUGE flathead. They can’t handle anyone to seem better than themselves.
Alpha male
Simps and white knights

We call them simps.
