But take a step too far and your desperation will land on the subreddit r/NotLikeTheOtherGirls. This online community with 832K members is constantly sharing examples of unique individuals who appear to be thinking that they're better than everyone else.

I never liked tampons. Never used them. This b***h, ugh... why do they freaking sell pads if "no one" uses them?

‘I’m Not Like The Other Girls Because I Believe In Modestyyy’
When I hear about nipples "disrespecting marriage" and can't help but imagine a woman going down the street while her boobs scream " Marriage is a scam! Your husband is a gold-digger! Your wife is a cheater! Wake up! Get a divorce!" at unfortunate strangers, because she forgot to put on her bra that muffles those sounds.

I Hold A Ps4 Controller, I’m A Real Gamer Girl™️
Dear all men/women/whoever in general: All games ARE games and whatever you play, you ARE a gamer despite what bozo up there said. You may not play the same games as me, but you all deserve a seat in the great mead hall of Sovngarde nonetheless. I shall see you there down the road.
The funny thing is that in her ignorance she names some of the very first games ever becoming so popular that the players could be called gamers
Load More Replies...B*tch Stardew Valley was created by a single person. If that's not dedication to a "real" game I don't know what is. Shut tf up.
"Stardew Valley is not a real game." THEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS!!!!
Load More Replies...amen to that, the sims hold a special place in my heart and it'll always be real to me
Load More Replies...The Sims is not a real game? So I haven't really spent 5877 hours on four alone. What a relief. And what is this person whining about with her pathetic Playstation, weren't we PC gamers the *real and actual* gamers.🤪
True. I modded for the sims2 for years, sure felt real to me. Also: if you haven't started out on a Commodore64, are you really a "gamer"?
Load More Replies...How's it feel regurgitating what most men say about your fellow woman gamers? I play all those games and others, too. I played the heck out of the FIRST Animal Crossing on the gamecube. Games are games, and are meant to be played for **fun**
Not sure what A.C.T.U.A.L. stands for but I'm glad I'm just a regular gamer
Animal Crossing Tortures U And Lies. she's part of a conspiracy to make us think Animal Crossing is bad and that we don't want to live in a peaceful little town
Load More Replies...Mario is not a real game. 🙄 Dumbäss never played the original NES Mario. That shït is difficult, tedious, saves are unheard of, and is capable of making any of its victims scream.
Skill? Try to build a roof in the Sims and match it to your expectations
God help you if you build your house diagonally!!
Load More Replies...Someone is butthurt cause they suck at resource management strategy games, again.
BOTW. Best game ever. I've played Zelda since it first came out and I was in my 20's then. Now I'm 59 and so excited for Tears of the Kingdom to be released that I can hardly stand it.
the saddest part is someone thinking this is a flex / brag. Between Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online I have over 2000 and probably well over 3000 hours. I don't consider it a "flex" I consider it kind of sad actually given when I was younger I used to have more of a 'real' life. When I was young I traveled the world and some of the stuff I did would be legit flexes. But games? Nah, that's just for fun. I've killed world bosses and enjoyed MS Jigsaw. both/all are games.
My WoW tells me in days and yes some in years how much I've played the game with each particular character everytime I log on. Ipiss on your "mere hours"
Load More Replies...I actually hate being called a gamer. Same with being called a foodie. I like games and I like food. Big whoop.
Yo, hands up if y'all grew up playing a ZX Spectrum/Commodore 64/Atari 2600, etc. Raise your other hand if y'all died of dysentery on the Oregon Trail. Now, if y'all have both hands up, keep 'em high because this is GTA VI and I'mma rob all y'all.
I draw the line at ‘animal crossing is not a real game’ A GAME IS A CREATION THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PLAY. IM GOING TO GO CONTINUE BEING FORCED TO BUILD HOUSES FOR ANIMALS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
She says it as someone who has obviously never been in debt up to their eyeballs to Tom Nook and its Winter and the only fish you're catching are seabass.
Load More Replies...I would rather say "If you play games and the term suits you." I play games but I'd never consider myself a gamer. For me to feel connection to a term (=feeling like it describes me), the thing has to be of major importance or a passion of mine. Playing games is neither, so I don't see myself as a gamer. It's just something I do periodically for fun, kinda like watching TV.
Load More Replies...I love how she just says "Mario". Like there is this one particular game called "Mario". She's a true gamer
Load More Replies...I had the mental image of a crying toddler furiously trying to protect their really cool sand castle they built from being washed away by the rising tide.
I am pretty sure every game requires some type of skill and challenge to play it.
Sincerely, all COD players. Seriously. Those are the only ones who talk like that
Come say that to the face of my Tauren Shaman OG wow character who is probably older than the OP. Oohh c**p... I have game characters older than some people... Trippy
Do you think people in the 1930s were out there saying "Monopoly is not a real game, Parcheesi or gtfo"?
B***h who do you think you are? There are some of us WHO DONT HAVE THE F*****G TIME AND WOULD GLADLY SPEND THAT TIME BUT SIMPLY CANNOT
Excuse me?!? Stardew Valley is awesome!! What other game can suck you in to playing so much you forget to feed the kids...LOL. (Just kidding...my kids are grown and can cook for themselves.)
well i play genshin for about 500+ hours. woman up and be a reAl gamer /s
I don't consider myself a gamer, but back in the day, I completed tetris on the game boy. whenever I mentioned it, people say "doesn't it just get faster until you lose?" nope. you get to the top level, finish it, and it shows a little rocket taking off. my husband was also super impressed when I mentioned I'd completed Ghosts and Ghouls on the megadrive, as he thought it was really difficult.
I used to play video ganes not so much right now but never consider myself a gamer.
Thinking about it, this kind of pissing contest can always be one-upped by someone else where the previous person is then not as hard-core of a gamer as the next one. In that context I am much more of a real gamer because I played on Win 95 and the Commodore. Absolute nonsense!! 🤮
I'm probably just old, but people calling themselves "gamers" squicks me, when it's not their job. To me most people just play "video games" (including me, I used to play in a time where it shocked men that women played other games than sims 1. Which was a great game BTW! ). I just say I play games. Pc or playstation. Opens up for a conversation about which types of games people play and like, which is nice. Somehow I just never was part of that slang word coming into existence and suddenly everyone runs around saying "I'm a gamer" like it's their proffessional title or something that defines them as a human. I know people won't agree with me about this, which is why I say maybe I'm just old. 😂 But in my defence using the word "gamer" in that way is exactly what caused people to pop up who calls themselves "REAL gamURz" 🤮😅
Yeah, we're not gamers. Now, let me mix all my 10 The sims families 'cause it's a soap opera in here and all these kids need weird shaped houses.
Mario isn't a real game??? Aside from Duck Hunt Mario is like the OG of games. How you gonna slam on all the original games also princess SIMS is on Xbox ....or wit is it not a REAL game cuz it's Xbox and those aren't REAL consoles?
SIMS is also on the PS5! It's one of the OG of games that are huge all over the world. One of the biggest money makers!
Load More Replies...Am I a 'true gamer' if I own every PlayStation console (minus psvita and psp) and can beat soul-likes or soulbornes? I'm LOVING hollow knight!
Oh you think you're a "gamer" cause you have an overpriced console? I play board games b*****s! I'm talking Sorry, Clue, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit. I've clocked 5,000,000 hours in scategories alone. You think you're a real gamer cause you can press some buttons behind a television screen? When you can bankrupt your blessed mama while looking her straight in the eyes after she landed on Boardwalk that you own and not even blink as a lonely tear falls down her cheek, then you can call yourself a gamer.
My brother and I had Pong. Now THAT is a real game. No useless graphics or sounds. No pause to go pee. You didn't stop until the blue pixel hit the orange pixel.
Actual gamers are people who play games. Uno, checkers, Call of Duty, Animal Crossing, mobile games... if it's a game, and you play it (or have played it), then you are a gamer. Even slot machines count. Gatekeeping is unnecessary and just proves inadequacy in the keeper.
...sorry, Mario is not a real game? Dude basically invented the concept of modern video games.
Whelp. I’m Old-School PC Master Race who got their start on Text Based Adventure and you lost me at PS4 Controller. Let me know when you can beat a game by just entering a single character at a command prompt.
Please. Just shut up. I have literally all of the current consoles, PS5, Xbox, Switch, Steam Deck. I have played and enjoyed every game on your list and more. I have put over 500 hours into Skyrim and knit a pair of socks at the same time (loading screens are awesome). I have multiple platinum trophies and 100% achievements. What you are describing are actual gamers. If you only play Animal Crossing, you are a gamer. If you only play Wii Fit, you are a gamer. Gate keepers like this are the fake gamers. If you need to put down other's choices, you are the fake gamers. Sincerely, all gamers who enjoy the game they enjoy.
Mobile.... games? Aren't real.... games? Soooo that must mean it's all in my head then. OK, got it.
I am angry because of the insult to stardew valley. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO ROMANCE SEBASTIAN! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SASHIMI I HAVE HAD TO MAKE! Stardew valley is easy my a**.
*hiding ps4 controller* screw you I don't want to be an "actual" gamer now *turns on Switch out of spite*
Making spreadsheets for optimal Stardew Valley layouts is both a skill and a challenge! :p
I don't think I've ever felt so attacked. Lol. Jokes on the op though, I have systems and games starting with ps1. Lol.

She's Not Like Other Moms
Yes and without a C-section some people wouldn't survive childbirth. It's a medical procedure it makes no one more or less special for having one.
Can We Please Stop With This C**p Already??
Yeah but see... vanilla is a good flavor. If you're out there claiming you're lobster butter pecan walnut raspberry swirl, you're not a forever flavor for most.
On A Facebook Group For "Boys Only"
I’m a girl who prefers pants over dresses but acts a bit girly otherwise. My father thought that I was trying to be a boy and would constantly make fun of me for being a boy which sucks because I don’t think he’d accept if his kids were trans :(
No, It's Embarrassing To Put Down Other Women At A Party

Then you should have more empathy and sympathy. Or just, you know, be a normal human being.
Hugging Your Friends Is Weird?
Does This Belong In This Sub? Apparently Being Bi-Curious Isnt A Thing Anymore
Yeah, i mean questionning your own sexuality is great. But i don't get why you would brag about it. But tbf the post is confusing, she says she wouldn't date a girl, not that she doesn't love/ is attracted to girls. She could be closeted for her own reasons (like Compulsory heterosexuality). But it's kinda odd to call yourself straight then :/
Oh No

It's his sperm that "gave" him that son, though, so your egg really didn't do anything to contribute to the *gender* of the fetus. And that's aside from the whole horrific issue of him abandoning his other children and preferring his male child over them. And you're happy? proud? to be with him??

No, you don't look like a normal human being. You look like the soulless social media attention-vampire that you are. We can all see it.

I'm not sure that rubbing citric acid directly on the sensitive skin of the armpit is a great idea...
Ah Yes Calling All Other Women The “Competition” And Then Belittling Them For Who They Identify As And Where They Have Body Hair

Dafuq Is A Weki Meki?
Comments Are Off, I Hope They Were Roasting Her
So what? A lot of women support themselves and don’t need a man to pay for everything. That doesn’t make you special.
I May Be Off Base, But This Feels Super Shame-Y
Guys Did You Know She Exists?
Hukka? Does she mean hookah? There's a "hookah'd on phonics" joke in here but I'm too sleepy to properly make it
I’m Not Like The Other Girls Cuz I’m Religious?
Apparently Wearing Flats Makes You A Slob
So I guess all women who currently exist in countries and cultures that DON'T wear heels are automatically "slobs". Got it.
Would Be This Considered Nlog?
Honestly there’s nothing wrong with this except for SHAMING her SO for loving her.
All I see is a bunch of people that were never given enough attention growing up. They want to be noticed. Here's the thing...criminals get noticed...corrupt politicians get noticed...out of control celebrities get notice. Getting noticed isn't always a good thing. Especially if you lack humility and come off as a pompous entitled person because then you get noticed for all the wrong reasons.
From my experience women are the worst enemy of other women. I grew up with a sister, work in a field with a lot of women around - and the majority of the conversations is gossip about how bad some other woman is.
My sister noticed that too. She became an HVAC tech in a field predominately occupied by men. She said men may tell vulgar jokes and can be a little too flirty, but they will never gossip about you or stab you in the back the way female co-workers do.
Load More Replies...BP has had these kinds of post before, and it feels weird that they pretty much just list women being s****y. There are plenty of men trying and failing to appear edgy, maybe mix it up a bit.
Can't we just except that every person is special in their own individual way without putting down anyone else? There's not a limited amount of coolness. Plenty for everyone. Just grab some for yourself and go, you don't need to steal it.
Pointless and nasty material that shrivelled my brain to read. Gave up after about 6 items. If a thread is about putting people down it's neither funny nor fun it's just mean and cruel. Big fail BP.
I had a not like other girls phase and then I realized I was non-binary. And now I’ve learned to accept my more feminine side.
You see this panda? It's actually less panda than other pandas. But you can't really tell, especially when I comment like this.
Waiting for "cover your t*ts girl to visit Ontario. Gonna record her head exploding 🤣
I'm sooooo not like other girls. They inhale THEN exhale but see I exhale THEN inhale. I am so original!
No-one is the same. Everyone is different. Congrats. You don't need to compare yourself to others, you probably have more enjoyable stuff to get on with. So get on with it.
I am not sure what was worse. The "memes" or the comments. This was a rough one.
