“Envidiosa” Screenwriter Clashes with Fans Over Relationship Dynamics, Calls Out “Pick Me” Behavior
Buenos Aires – Carolina Aguirre, screenwriter for the Netflix series Envidiosa, ignited a heated debate on social media after criticizing viewers who disapproved of a character’s demanding personality and expressed preferences for “low-maintenance” partners. Aguirre argued that seeking a partner solely for ease and lack of conflict is a sign of a flawed dynamic, and accused those making such comments of embodying “pick me girl” behavior.
Aguirre’s comments stemmed from reactions to the character Vicky, played by Griselda Siciliani, and criticisms of her perceived “unsmoothable” nature. She countered that a genuine connection isn’t about avoiding challenges, stating, “Love doesn’t work like that. It’s not like buying a sofa.” She urged followers to consider if they truly believe people fall in love with those who present no problems, and questioned the appeal of men who “leave because they are not up to it” when faced with insecurity or conflict.
“That guy doesn’t love you, my love. you are agreeable,” Aguirre wrote,emphasizing the importance of being chosen for one’s full personality. She shared that her own husband chooses her for qualities like humor, honesty, and bravery, “Not as it’s smokeable.”
Aguirre further addressed what she sees as an imbalance in heterosexual relationships, noting that women are often expected to shoulder the emotional burden during crises. “It is logical that it seems unusual for a man to be emotionally supportive because it is unusual, but we shouldn’t settle for less,” she stated.
The screenwriter concluded with a pointed remark directed at those who have historically dated emotionally unavailable partners, expressing disbelief at their judgment of the Envidiosa characters.The exchange has sparked a wider conversation about expectations in relationships and the normalization of emotional support from men.
