    There exists a vast population of struggling young men who are easy marks when it comes to romance and sex. I mean 4chan exists. As does OF and to a lesser extent, Twitch. He’s just as much a predator of those men as he is young women.

    Growing up online is seriously going to mess up the next generation.

        Because they are desperate. Same tactic employed by this late night self help infomercials. They pray on people that have tried everything and still have no made progress. The “but what if it works” mindset is super exploitable.

        Tate and his ilk just do that. Exploit the easily exploitable. Men. Women. Anyone really. It’s just wildly absurd to think Tate (or people like him) only exploit one segment of the population.

        I think it’s also a perceived value thing. You think something has more value when you pay for it, or at least you pretend to think so to save face.

  He has muscles and hates women. What’s more manly than that?

  I’ve never heard him speak but every time I see him he looks like an egg with a vagina stuck to it so I assume he sounds like something out of a Dali-esque Alice in Wonderland

    Pretty much. He sometimes speaks with an American accent and other times a British accent, going back and forth at random which makes the British accent seem forced.

      To be fair, he grew up in both the US and the UK. His mom is British, and he lived in the US until he was about 12, 13, then moved to the UK. Him having a very confused accent makes sense.

      There, that’s the only time you’ll ever see me defending anything about that raging douche canoe.

        "until he was about 12, 13" and matured no further.

        Sure, it is authentic.

    Lucky. Try to avoid hearing him for as long as possible.

    Imagine a guy who dominates conversations by talking louder and a bit faster than everyone else, and doesn’t pronounce his Ts. Instead of kitten, he says ki-en, or instead of Bugatti, he says boo-gah-ee. He says the last one a lot.

  Ohhhhh god I was on a plane recently and a young couple sat down next to me. I wasn’t tuned in for their whole conversation but at one point I heard her chiding him for how he gets emotional when he’s upset.

  She busted out her phone and showed him an Andrew Tate clip where he says something about how no one wants to hear your complaints so don’t waste your time with them, just be a man and be stoic. He used the word stoic.

  The young guy shrugged and said “what does he know?”

  She said “you’re going to tell me that one of the strongest men in the world, with all his insight, says this and you’re going to just ignore it?”

  I snorted out loud, unable to catch myself. Thankfully they didn’t notice.
