“Pick me girl”- Love is Blind Habibi fans criticize Dounia for not standing up for women

Love is Blind Habibi came to a bittersweet end with its reunion episode that was made available to stream on November 1. The participants from the season came together a year after filming finished, to discuss their life updates and their experiences of the experiments.

At the reunion, Mido, Nour's pod partner, criticized her for paying more attention to Chafic, her pod date, than him. Ammar and Chafic also joined in on the criticism and blamed Nour for not trying enough to save her relationship. Chafic also called her out for wanting an ATM instead of a man.

While the three of them were squabbling, Dounia, Chafic's partner, also called Nour out for flirting with her man. The escalation of their fight caused Chafic to mock Nour's looks. Karma objected immediately, and so did Hajar. But Dounia kept quiet.

When Nour called Ammar out for leaving Love is Blind Habibi single, Dounia said Ammar would find anyone, shading Karma in the process. Fans called her a "pick me" which according to dictionary.com means, "A pick-me girl is a woman who obsessively desires male approval and validation, often at the expense of other women".

"Dounia is a pick me girl and Nour is THAT girl," said one fan.

"Dounia girlyyyyy here is your award for being the biggest pick me in history ," another fan said.

"Dounia is such a pick me. You let your man insult and raise his voice at another girl in front of everyone and don't even say something about it. I'm sorry if you don’t like Nour, but letting YOUR man disrespect her in public speaks more about you than about her," a third fan said.

"Why is Dounia acting like a pick-me tho....like. ok girl, u got ur man, no need to gang up on Nour to make yourself feel better?" another fan wrote.

Fans of Love is Blind Habibi called out Dounia for speaking up when the men were criticizing Nour's looks. Mido even complimented Dounia for being naturally good-looking, and she took the compliment, which was another shade at Nour.

"Dounia check yourself. Once men begin to agree with you, it’s a sign of concern pick me of the century. Girl you literally said any girl will be lucky to have Ammar. As per the same Ammar that does not want his wife to dance?" one fan wrote.

"Dounia is such a pick me. I hope she’s happy with a loser and f*ck boy like Chafic," another user wrote.

"Dounia saying “any girl would love to be with Ammar” is INSANE to me how much more of a pick me can she get like she’s always preaching about the importance of strong women and independence but defends the man who believes in the complete opposite?" another X user wrote.

"I had no idea Dounia was such a pick me, watching her in this reunion is so disappointing. No wonder she's still with Chafic," said another fan.

The conversation between Dounia, Chafic, and Nour at Love is Blind Habibi reunion

Nour was criticized by Mido and Chafic for a statement she made earlier in the Love is Blind Habibi season, where she said an ideal date for her would be a man keeping the table full for her and paying her bill. They called her out for viewing men as an ATM. While Dounia called her out for flirting with her man.

To this, Nour said she had advice for both Mido and Dounia. The latter said she didn't want advice from her and that she would take advice from any other woman on the Love is Blind Habibi but her. Nour, however, said she needed to work on her self-confidence because she was jealous, a result of her insecurity.

Dounia disregarded her advice. Mido said Dounia wasn't insecure, she was genuine then complimented her for looking "natural," thus shading Nour's cosmetic procedures. Chafic jumped in on this and mocked Nour's pout and called her a crow. Karma objected to this and called out both the men for treating women badly, Hajar called it bullying. Dounia, however, stayed silent.
