“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 expressedโฃ preferences for “low-maintenance” partners. Aguirre argued that seeking a partner solely for ease and lack ofโฃ conflict is a sign of a flawedโ dynamic, and accused those making such comments of embodying “pickโฃ me girl” behavior.
Aguirre’s comments stemmed from reactions to the character Vicky, played by Griseldaโ Siciliani, โขand criticisms of her perceivedโข “unsmoothable” nature. She countered that a genuine connectionโฃ isn’t about โavoidingโ challenges, stating, “Love doesn’t work like that. It’s not like buying a sofa.” She urged followers โto considerโ ifโ they โtruly believe people fall in โlove with those who presentโ no problems, and questioned the appeal of men who “leave because theyโ 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 โpersonality. She shared that her own husband chooses โher for qualitiesโข like humor, honesty, and bravery, “Not as it’s smokeable.”
Aguirre further addressed what she sees as an โimbalance โin heterosexual relationships, noting that women โare often expected to shoulder the emotional burden โขduring crises. “It is logical thatโ it seems unusual for aโฃ manโฃ to be emotionallyโ supportive because it โขis 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 โฃtheir judgment of โคthe Envidiosa characters.The exchange has sparked a wider conversation about expectations in relationships and the normalization of emotional support from men.
