i was super proud of being not like other girls when i was 13. turned out i was a guy.

The first one wasn’t a not like other girls thing, she was making a valid point that a lot of the “female gaze” male love interests are more for men than women. She’s saying that a lot of men in the media that are portrayed as buff, muscly, etc are for the men that want to be them, not for women to be attracted to.

2:00 I think you completely missed this point here. She wasn't saying she's not like other girls, she was saying she IS like most girls, and most girls don't like muscular men. Which I think is true. It's the Loki vs Thor argument. She's not against girls. She's against men. Love the rest of the video tho :D

I had a "not like the other girls" phase when I was 12, and it was the stereotypical "boys are better friends, I like video games and anime." And now I'm an adult looking at that phase like, no, you are not like the other girls, you're struggling with mental illnesses and your own sexuality, and dealing with it terribly.

I realized now that the reason I had my not like other girls phase In middle school is because I didn't have friends and just assumed girls around me were trash for not wanting to be my friends

A lot of women feel this way due to misogyny. The term "basic" is thrown around to women who like things like pumpkin spice or the color pink. And often times women can be made fun of for either being too masculine or too feminine. As a person assigned female at birth, I've dealt with both. If you aren't feminine enough they call you a man but if you're too feminine they will still make fun of you. So women like this feel more powerful by saying they are special in some way because it makes them feel more worthy. Growing up I was definitely one of these people. When I told myself I was different from those other girls it made me feel unique and less weak since many people would use me being a woman as a way to call me weak. This brings in the whole issue of misogyny being the reason for many of these mindsets. It's basically just internalized misogyny and a way to turn other women against each other when really we're all dealing with the same issues and pressures to be perfect and deemed worthy for other men because this world likes to base our worth on how men see us and what they say about us

Love the energy of "Have you tried dying mad about it?"

2:00 this is a valid criticism of the male gaze though?? Most women say they don't prefer massive muscular men more than skinny attractive men, and the way men in these movies are framed is clearly in a "wanting to be them" way rather than an objectified way.

but fr fr, i liked that last quote, i've never actually thought of things like that and i remember when i was younger and all i cared about was trying to appease men and be "sexy" and "unique" and all that because that's what movies and shows and LIFE tells us all the time. it's been a struggle for me to make (or i guess KEEP) girl friends growing up because there was always jealousy in the air in the awkward era where we would both think of each other as competition almost? i feel like things have really progressed from then, not only within myself but how women feel more empowered now to do things that make them feel sexy and unique, without judgement from their friends and without the expectation that they only do it to appease men. i mean, obviously we still have a long way to go, but there's significant progress with self expression and i am all for that

I like how the pizza box she's carrying is open and there's a single bottle of beer next to the box ...just in case you couldn't identify a closed pizza box as holding pizza or a box of Corona as beer.

It’s crazy how some people are so divorced from seeing women as normal people that they legit think it’s unusual when a woman enjoys some of the most popular food and drinks.

my "not like other girls" phase was. just a HORRIBLE coping with my struggle to understand my sexuality and multiple mental illnesses.

The ballet one is profoundly funny to me because my ballet teacher literally was playing linkin park in class 💀

I remember when all of the girls in my class were "not like the other girls" and my biggest wish was to just fit in, turns out I am autistic.

i listened to this in the shower and i laughed so hard at “i’m not like other girls. i play chess” i nearly fell on my ass 😂

I actually think, while cringy, the first tweet is pretty accurate, because a lot of girls are more into guys with smaller builds or skinny bodies, rather than gym rats. But despite women making it very clear that they prefer men who look like that, men still have the idea that all women like a guy who’s huge and muscular, because they often get their advice on what women like from other men, rather than women. I would also argue that it doesn’t fit into the “not like other girls” type of statements, because generally those statements are made to impress men by putting down other women and separating themselves from a stereotypical feminine woman. This tweet does not attempt to do that. It’s just saying that men don’t understand that some women have a preference for something other than body-builder-looking guys.

I hate to be that person but I dont think the first one was a pick me girl? Pretty sure it was referring to the male gaze vs the female gaze

I think the first one wasnt bad. Sure, seeing in context with the page I totally get where you are coming from or thought that way. But I remember back in middle school a lot of boys were confused why a lot of girls really liked Robert Patterson (spelling) when he clearly looked nothing like John Cena.

Your female Ben Shabibo was WAY TOO GOOD.

The only thing I can think of forever when I hear the phrase "Not like other girls" is that one image of a girl crouched on the beach with a fish in her mouth. And then Darling in the FranXX literally had that scene in an anime and I went wild.

I thought I was not like other girls. Turned out I was trans and definitely NOT a girl

I love how all trans afab ppl had a "not like other girls" phase and then had a "wait am i even a girl?" Phase and then we all went oOOOH in unison and realized were not special were just trans

I used to be a heavy "not like other girls" girl in elementary school and upwards. I was a kid during the time when Justin Bieber was really popular and I loved to hate him with every fiber of my being because girls my age were supposed to love him. I had an obsession that bordered on fanfiction fantasies. I would daydream in class that he would want to come to my elementary school and give a speech to our class about whatever just so I could stand up and heckle him until we would finally, yes finally, become the mortal enemies I always dreamed of us being. I dreamed of the fight between us that would kickstart a life of rivalry and I wanted to destroy him. I would watch videos of him and plan how I would publicly humiliate him and destroy his spirit. Now that I'm an adult I think he's chill and I wish him the best but I don't really have any strong opinions on it

I like that men openly admit they have no interest in a woman's personality

I had the "not like other girls" phase in middle school. best part was that guys didn't even like me so like...

I had a big "not like other girls" phase when i was 14-17. Turns out I just didn't know many girls, cos I got bullied in school and had no friends there and spent all my time gaming, where I met more guys. But oh gee once I left my house more and got different hobbies and met more people, suddenly girls are pretty good friends. And well, I can also not judge any teen girl for having their not like other girls phase, cos it's rough being a teen girl. I only judge the ones older than me or in my workplace cos I don't have to hear a THIRTY YEAR OLD talk sht like "I don't think you hear this alot, but I'm actually a HUGE nerd, I love gaming, and I could NEVER wear dresses or drown my face in make up. Better use the time gaming!!" ... best part was this was at a company party and we work in a mobile gaming company where 3/4 of the employees are gamers :) But sure Jan, I bet you are a very unique woman around here.

I really wish instead of just discounting the first tweet and using it as a chance to bully a girl with a valid point, you actually read what that first tweet was saying. Men often say that girls only will go for them if they have the body of someone like thor or aquaman, when all of those characters were created by men. It was a man’s notion of what this attractive guy would be, only playing into the male gaze with no regard to the female gaze.

I'm over here binging all of your videos and keep forgetting you don't have several hundred thousand subs yet. Your video quality and writing is fire

i think the closest i came to the 'im not like other girls' phase is that i always wanted to play the rebel girl character in imaginary games

I was going to say "cut them some slack, they're probably aged 13-19", then I remembered that I know women my age or older who are like this, and I'm 31.

I feel that ending quote sums up the video nicely. From playing video games and looking at memes I was taught that women are dumb and stupid, and I felt bad for being one. The truth is the people who say that all women are embarrassing and stupid are the people who suck and it’s sad there isn’t more acceptance for young girls experiencing these harsh ideas.

putting aside the subject at hand i just want to say thank you for actually talking about facebook shitposting groups lmao, as someone who is close to the same age as you and literally grew up spending my entire formative years and making the vast majority of my friends in facebook shitposting communities for the entirety of the 2010s it's so tiring and saddening to me that all young people who aren't involved in said communities will write it off as "just for boomers and family/high school friends"... when the shitposting group and meme page culture is so much more layered and net-savvy than they think. shitpostbot, special meme fresh, welcome to my meme page and many more all began and blew up on fb first, the ironic revival of neo-doge posting and doge lore was born there, i could go on. there's gold in both content and the communities you can find there (as well as some of the worst cesspools lmfao) but it gets written off so quickly and often, sometimes the gaslighting gatekeeping girlboss in me almost WANTS it to stay underground. idk lmao sorry for the ramble i'm just happy someone with any semblance of clout acknowledges the fun that can be had there for once tangentially related, it was actually a topic for a video essay i wanted to make a few years ago but i kinda lost all my drive to make that kinda stuff cuz i didn't think i'd succeed and nobody would care about what some random 20-something loser nerd grill had to say. but i've been binging a lot of your videos in the past week after your spotify true shuffle vid came up on my recommended and seeing how much you've succeeded and grown with each upload is really inspiring and kinda gives me some of that drive back. so, no idea if you'll even read this, but either way, thank you for that. you have a new subscriber and fan :)

2:00 i feel as though you fundamentally misunderstood what the tweet was saying.

10:25 okay but where's the lie? That's a pretty comprehensive list of male expectations tbh I'd also add "can eat like a man but not be fat" because men want women to not eat salads but look like they do, but they want them to somehow maintain their figure while also eating pizza and beer (like the prior photo). I love pizza and beer but I'm fat because you can't eat pizza and beer and not get fat off of it (at least I can't, if you can then you're lucky!)

Your execution of that Harley quote 4:44 was so good 😭😭😭

7:28 "ill be beans" me too girl me too

3:57 her trying to make that face was just too funny

Having lived the "Facebook tag group" lifestyle for a hot minute a few years back, I'm fairly certain this whole group is meant to be satirical and mock the "pick me" and "i'm not like most girls" mentality.

5:04 meme really is not like other girls/humans Look how many beers she can carry with just her fingers. Ant strength.

3:34 she nailed the accent and the tone honestly

That post at 2:00... I think there are women with all kinds of tastes, but there is no majority that likes (overly) muscular men, for various reasons. And the fact that muscular male characters are most often created by men, make it seem like it's actually intended for a male audience. Instead, women are expected to like them. Just as a lot of (overly) sexualised female characters are created by men, intended for a male audience, but women are expected to view them as empowering. I feel like she was just trying to say that she wished male creators would do more research on what different/most women would prefer to see in a male character. Besides that, when there is media predominately created for women, it still happens that a lot of the characters (male and female) are not to most women's liking.

you know your not like other girls and you're British when: your friend group wants to dress as breakfast foods for halloween and you say "Ill be beans"

Love yo channel, sis. You had me LOLing.

I'm definitely not like other girls . . . because I'm a 22 year old dude 😂😂😂

The first one is actually accurate, its called the female gaze

Gaming wasn't so much a thing when I was on high school... But happily I never knew the first type of girl. For that matter I never knew the second type of girl either. When we'd all get together and play console girls the girls were just about as into it as the guys and nobody became a toxic douche about it. Instead we all just had a good time together and wasting time playing games was just one of the things we'd do.

I remember my "not like other girls" phase. It ended when I realized that if you aren't "like other girls" it's because you have different interests as a human being because we're all unique individuals, and you're comparing yourself to a caricature.

That lady OINK took me OUT 😂😂 I’m actually crying over here 😂😂😂😂😂

I don't jnwo about you but my "im not like other girls" phase was because no liked my real personality so i low-key had to convince myself it was because I special and different and they were basic.

1:53 Joke’s on them: my fictional crush was Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games series. He can bake AND is a sweetheart? Yes please! 😋

My brain actually melted from those posts

Somehow got recommended her Gabi's recent videos. After watching a few I went back two years to this one cuz the title was funny. Shocked to see the same good quality videos being produced to only 2k subs. Kinda wild to me that she didn't have more of a KZfaq following sooner.

Gabi discovers tag groups. I love tag groups, they're such a funny thing to rise from Facebook's landscape.

GUYS LETS GET GABY TO ONE MILLION!!!❤😊

Imagine first finding these memes after like 2016 when gamer and nerd culture is much more common for everyone

That "gamer gurl" drawing was visciously yanked out of a deep recess of my mind. What a time.

facebook private groups is where it's at. my favorite social media space

I love Facebook tag/meme groups so much, omw to find this one 😂

I'm in this group and a all the others you mentioned because watching people argue makes me happy. There's another type of group that aimed at hating single mothers for existing. You should look into that one. It's pretty funny

i will say there is nothing more cringe than dismissing a womans opinions as "oh shes a pick me" its the same as when guys call guys who support women in any capacity simps

i get so worried about me and this topic because i dont want to be that girl but i also genuinely like hanging out with guys, and i keep feeling like im that girl when i hang out in an all guys group 😭

I love how so many of the comments are just "I wasn't like other girls, and it turned out that I really wasn't like other girls", proving the sentiment correct

Gabi’s female version of Ben Shapiro was spot on. So funny!

I love the snarky sarcasm!

I always thought, "dang, I really am not like all these girls I know. They're not like eachother either..." Turns out, I'm a guy anyway and I really wasn't one of the gals.

I was a not like the other girls girl since my 7th grade. I didn't feel like a girl. So I tried cutting my hair short, wearing T-shirts and pants and all that stuff that are stereotypically "boyish". And then I didn't feel like a boy either. Turned out, I was Non-Binary. Not a girl, not a boy

That was the best way to end this video ❤️

NGL, that hog noise thing was kinda funny. I don’t even know why.

i think the only possible way to make that face at 3:55 is to actually be yelling out loud with a volatile mixture of mountain dew and adrenaline running through your veins

Omg this is fantastic. I like pizza and beer... Never realised I'm a part of a special select few

i do think she makes a pretty solid point with the superhero thing being a power fantasy for men. maybe i’m ✨quirky✨ maybe i’m just not ✨attracted to men✨

I like the take at the end of the video. I did have my "I'm not like other girls" phase, I used to say thinks like "I'm not thinking all the time about boys, I don't care about having a boyfriend, all the other girls talk about cute celebrities, and I like anime". At the end, I was talking with other girls about cute anime boys, and I discovered I was aroace all along lmao

I was proud of playing chess when I was like 12-13, but only because I found it funny to beat people I considered dumb. Could never beat my dad tho.

Facebook is the new ebay basically! Anyways great content as always! :) I like how the marketplace works!

It's all about "the ask" I guess 🤣😂

5:27 To be fair, I don’t know ANYONE that likes beer lmao

Bro just let me eat my Pringles and play minecraft like the other boys

I think the closing tweet or post or whatever it was, comment, the thing you chose to end on really sums up the whole thing

Had a bit like other girls phase mostly because, turns out I'm ace, but A LOT of the conversations girls in middle to high school and spilling into college are very relationship focused, and a lot of the people around me really didn't sit well. Like a person's legitimate, entire life purpose from their own words being to hurry up and get married so they can stop working and get fat. And just me watching that like oh wow I really don't wanna be here. Also was a small town and a really crappy focus group

KZfaq algorithm suggested your MGK movie video and here I am. I think I’m about to watch all your videos 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀

Need to make an app that tells me the percentage of me finding a woman that 1. Is a gamer 2. Likes Pizza and Beer 3. Doesn't talk about men and heels 4. Dresses as breakfast foods for Halloween 5. Doesn't wear a lot of makeup 6. Doesn't spend hours getting ready 7. Plays Chess 8. Loves memes and is not afraid of cockroaches 9. Likes whiskey 10. Has individual thoughts and interests

Gabi This is dana White's double chin here. That remote licking: please tell me you disinfected it with lysol first PLEASE. good vid

6:43 A+, nailed it, no notes.

got me to trololol real good there

the not like other girls to hyperfem pipeline is real i lived it also bonus points for being a lesbian

3:57 "I'M MELTING, I'M MELTING" 6:23 but aren't drones male

5:13 i look over at my box of dominos and PBR

i’m ashamed to say in my scene middle school days the ballet one (without the text) was my facebook header for a while

Who knew pizza and beer were such noble traits.

Getting euphoria from being defined as one of the other girls is the weirdest experience ever as a trans girl

The "Ben Shapiro" voice was actually really good voice acting

thanks gabi

when i was a little girl i would say "im not like other girls!!" im not even a girl anymore kek

I recently found this channel and I’m just now seeing long hair gabi. Dog it looks like a different human

6:28 bro when “UhM AcTuAlLy”

Bro I strait up shared the gamer girl comic so many times when I didn't even play video games allot. 🤦🤦🤦

5:30 I can’t because just about every girl I know loves beer and I HATE beer

your british accent is lietrally perfect

8:28 offensive? yes. funny? also yes. everything about that comment section was hilarious

The Ben shapiro voice sounded very much like Chames Charls haha 6:35
