I Get Guys, I Get Girls, I Get X

About

I Get Guys, I Get Girls, I Get X or I Pull Men, I Pull Women refers to a trend on TikTok where users open and close their hands as if they're mouths under the captions, "I get guys" and "I get girls," followed by showing themselves under the phrasal template caption, "I get X," "X" being something funny that they "get." The trend began in mid-September 2022 and is set to the song "Luna, amore e no."

Origin

On September 14th, 2022, TikToker^[1] @kkrxsty posted a video where she moves her hand like a mouth under the caption "I pull men," then cuts to her doing the same under the caption, "I pull women," then cuts to her face under the caption, "I pulled a door that said push," garnering over 4.5 million views in two weeks (shown below). This is the earliest known video performing the trend.
