Andrew Tate, I just don’t get it?

How is there anyone on this earth looking up to this specimen?

I hasn’t really heard of him until about a year ago but my gosh. I’ve seen a few interviews with him and he can’t even speak properly, he just shouts constantly. He says that men who have sex without the intention of impregnating the woman are gay.

I know he can’t help with way he looks but he’s ugly with a bald head and no chin and have you seen his arrest pictures with that ridiculous outfit with the purple shirt and the women’s shoes?

Well if you hadn’t you have now?

How is there a single person alive thinking that this cretin is something to aspire to, not to mention how he’s found a woman willing to have sex with him.

"How is there a single person alive thinking that this cretin is something to aspire to"

Farage does.

"Nigel Farage has praised the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate for being an “important voice” for the “emasculated” and giving boys “perhaps a bit of confidence at school” in online interviews that appear to be aimed at young men"

Totally agree with you OP.
He is repulsive in every way it is possible for a man to be repulsive.

TheCrenchinglyMcQuaffenBrothers · 23/07/2026 14:33

Yeah, he reeeeaalllly doth protest too much, doesn’t he?

And as for

not to mention how he’s found a woman willing to have sex with him
Who says he has? He’s on rape and sex trafficking charges isn’t he? That’s not ‘willing’.

Mariettta · 23/07/2026 14:34

What about the dismal looking brother who tags along looking utterly miserable? What's that all about?

Pistachiocake · 23/07/2026 14:35

When people criticise his looks/style, they're playing into his hands, because sexism is no more acceptable from an Adonis.
People will always follow daft things, like that woman who said any heterosexual sex is rape-but she was preinternet.
Sadly there seems to be more separatism these days-having lots of friends of both sexes tends to stop a lot of hatred.

Magicpaintbrush · 23/07/2026 14:36

Deluded scum of the earth with absolutely no clue whatsoever about women - or indeed anything at all.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 23/07/2026 14:37

Sure I've seen those shoes on the Hotter website.

Anyhoo, he's got lots of money from trafficking and abusing women. Of course he's aspirational to other inadequates who cant work out how to get women to sleep with them for free or without threatening them.

Esmeraldathe3rd · 23/07/2026 14:38

He tells me what they want to hear. Sex is their right and it's not their fault women won't give it to them so they should just take it.

WeirdyBeardyMarrowBabyLady · 23/07/2026 14:39

I can’t bear that ridiculous Luton/LA accent mash up. He’s a tool.

I suppose there are enough rappers saying much the same thing, it’s a common culture for the uneducated.

Loulou4022 · 23/07/2026 14:49

I can’t imagine how any woman would want to touch him with a barge pole! Some women have really low standards!

Mydogisagentleman · 23/07/2026 14:57

I was horrified to find out that my DDs live in partner was part of the 'manosphere'. He was sending him money every month from forex trading and had enrolled in his university.
Fortunately she dumped him.

He tells me what they want to hear. Sex is their right and it's not their fault women won't give it to them so they should just take it.

But that's what don't get, he's saying if a man has sex with a woman, unless the sole intention is to get her pregnant then he's gay. It's doesn't make any sense.

As far as I can see he's not saying sex is a man's right, he's saying if you're doing it (with a woman) purely for enjoyment you must be gay.

So is he promoting masturbation as a better alternative or sex with men?

Either way im surprised thst appeals more to most men, unless they are gay.

I just came to this thread to see if anyone had posted this 🤣 the 'Who wore it better' thread on reddit was entertaining.

In answer to OP's question. I have come to the conclusoon that otherwise intelligent people can believe all manner of batshit things simply because it benefits them to believe it somehow. Either emotionally or practically. Beliefs are often selfish things.

NotAnotherScarf · 23/07/2026 15:40

As a man in his 50s I first heard of him a couple of years ago. So I watched something of his. Hear me out, it was actually very good advice to young men "if a girl doesn't want to date you don't chase her move on". " I was kick boxing champion of the world and 75% of the time I didn't want to go to the gym. But I knew to achieve what I wanted I had to work hard"

Then you dig in and see the scummy "women are property" "women want a man to protect them"...then you realise he is an absolute bell end and unfortunately young boys are suckered by his lifestyle and the fact that somethings make sense.

I saw someone describe him as ‘always the bridesmaid but never the bride’ 😂.

And somewhere else I saw an article ‘who are Andrew and Tristan Tate?’ And it started off with Andrew, ‘he was born there, grew up there, became this and that, blah blah’. It went into some detail of his alleged crimes etc. And then it moved onto Tristan. ‘Tristan Tate is Andrew’s brother’. 😂🤣

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 23/07/2026 15:53

He’s a prick but bring his looks into it is hardly fair.

It’s not his fault he looks like a Peparami…

Epoisses · 23/07/2026 15:57

He's a cunt

I know! That shouty shouty manner! It's some weird invention definitely post-Big Brother!
He is unrecognisable in old BB clips.

I remember a few years ago, he had a go at Greta Thunberg online. She just pinged back - 'small dick vibes.' Say no more!
