I don't know about him specifically, but I'd suspect that some men blackmail women into relationships with them. For that reason, it might not be fair to call any young woman in an age gap relationship a "pick me."

Then again it could also be that the younger woman had bad experiences with immature guys her age. Or is just a sugar baby.

I feel like "pickme" should usually just be used for women who harm or say harmful things to/about other women. For instance the ones who insult women, so that guys will like them. Or the ones who abuse rape victims, spit on feminism, or criticize you by calling you a "man-hater" or tell you to just get over it if a male harms you, and things like that.

I feel like there should be a different word for gals who just make bad dating choices. Maybe something like "lost girls." Or something else.

I shouldn't be commenting on this topic though. It's hypocritical of me because I'm a cougar. Only because guys my age are not attractive, but guys in their 20s sometimes are..
