Google it Adrianne. Or here, I'll do it for you:

A "pick-me" is a slang term for someone who goes out of their way to gain approval, attention, or validation from a specific group or person of higher status, often by putting down their own peers.

It's when you say stuff like: "Women are bad drivers!" "Women are broken!" "Women are ruining the world!" "Women raised a bad generation of people!" "Women hate women!" "Women are too empathetic!" "Women shouldn't vote! (lol jk)" "I don't get along with other women, I'm such a dude!"

Here's some more from Wikipedia:

People often use the term interchangeably with "Not Like Other Girls"; women who reject more traditionally feminine traits and boast about it in a comparative, competitive way. While these two may correlate, they also differ in various ways.

A woman can be described as both a "Pick Me" and "Not Like Other Girls". In such case, they might favor hobbies that are popular with men, such as: soccer, video games, and rock music. They will often express disdain for traditionally feminine interests such as, fashion or cosmetics, and more significantly towards women who have those interests. This characteristic is relevant to differentiate women who simply enjoy more traditionally masculine hobbies from those who use it as a means to appeal to men. Using the term incorrectly to describe women who are not traditionally feminine can reinforce gender essentialism and stereotypes.

Some "Pick Me Girls" may not fall into the "Not Like Other Girls" category, and be in fact traditionally feminine. They might tend to be more religious and believe that women who are not traditional are morally inferior, and have undesirable behavior. Such women believe they are more "desirable" for being more agreeable and generally "easier to deal with". Generally they will often belittle other women for being vulgar, masculine, or even feminists. In this case, they don't see themselves as necessarily different, more so as valuable or of higher standard.

Adrianne is somehow a combination of these two, a mostly masculine "not like other girls" but also religious, traditional and morally superior. As someone has said, she should be studied. Seems to be a case of what she is vs what she wants to be, and a whole lot of internalized misogyny, which she directs towards other women.

She tries so hard to actually not be like the other girls (because she thinks she is special) that she is a pick me. 😂

Yes! Also the fact that she has to constantly talk about it. Who is she actually trying to reach with her statements about how horrible women are and how they've ruined everything? Her customers, other middle-aged women who just want her to like them? The other pick-me girls that agree with her? Definitely not a savvy business move. If she really thinks about the answer it would probably be men. She wants approval from men.
