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.

Andrew Tate, I just don’t get it?

How many children has he fathered? Or is it that you’re right and he’s not convinced a woman to have sex with him, is celibate or is gay🤔

None. He’s so far in the closet he’s bumming Mr Tumnus.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 23/07/2026 16:56

He doesn’t seem overly blessed with a sense of humour

blueshoes · 23/07/2026 16:57

If he hates women so much, why is he dressing like a woman. No, I don't get it either.

Also, if the point of having sex is to impregnate, then that is going to be pretty expensive for him. In addition to defending serial criminal charges for rape and sex trafficking.

I don't think his lifestyle is sustainable.

YouOKHun · 23/07/2026 17:02

I’ve always wondered how long it will be before he accepts himself and comes out of the closet?

Chargeling · 23/07/2026 17:02

It really is mystifying. He could not be more of a cliche; cos-playing masculinity.

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 23/07/2026 17:04

Anyone know about his mum and sister? Are they still in Luton? Are they…….normal people?

I've heard Russell Howard use it at least 10 (if not 15) years ago

Don]t forget that Tate briefly ran the "vote BRUV" political movement.

Simonjt · 23/07/2026 17:13

Well his looks and clothes don’t matter, the most worrying thing is that anyone ever listened to him in the first place.

This is what I'd like to know too. When someone is so very odd/dodgy/etc I always wonder what their family is like and what life experiences brought them to this point.

I agree with you. But by posting you have given him more publicity OP.
Don’t.

IlovedLadybirdbooks · 23/07/2026 17:19

MAGA love the Tates.

"despite years of accusations involving rape and sex trafficking, the Tates have enjoyed a strangely close relationship with Trump world that seems to have extended to preferential treatment from the government. Andrew Tate has had numerous friendly conversations with Barron Trump and Donald Trump Jr., according to the New York Times. With the influencer brothers unable to leave Romania for years as the investigation went on, prominent Trump world figure Ric Grenell reportedly spoke to Romanian officials about their case. Soon after those conversations, the Tates were allowed to leave Romania."

I think it does, actually - the fact that he's balding and has a serious overbite (plus his natural teeth were less than perfect) means that he will appeal to men and boys who aren't incredibly good looking or think they don't meet the quality standard and they'll think 'Oh, he has all this money and is such an expert on how to be a rich man and how to command women, but he looks like that - he must know what he's talking about'.

Thenightwemet13101 · 23/07/2026 17:25

I mean I wouldn’t normally mentioned someone’s looks because I genuinely think that beauty shines from within not just from the outside, but it completely baffles me that any men could see him
as a role model.

He has claimed in interviews to have several children with multiple different women.

Absolutely this! The worst homophobes are men in denial about their own sexuality.

ChequerToRed · 23/07/2026 17:30

He’s a one man cause of extreme vaginal dryness.
He’s also obviously deeply insecure, which is why the whole world ripping on his outfit (best description I’ve seen is ‘wine bar assistant manager’) is richly deserved considering the crap he comes out with. Must sting.
On a more cheery note, I’m seeing a hell of a lot of love for a man who is his polar opposite since the World Cup. Erling Haarland seems to be Mr Walking Green Flag, looks like someone who’d have jumped off a longship and pillaged your village in about 820AD, yet will derail an interview about football to talk about how men should take an equal role in childcare and domestic work and is a gentle giant with a good sense of humour. Now that is a positive male role model.
In a world of Tates, be more Haarland.

Seriously, you are. Everytime he is posted on a red top. Everytime a younger person comes across something about him on social media ( Mumsnet - don’t assume only women read it or join) is an advert. They might go more closely and especially young men, get influenced by their vile ideas.
The less the red tops go on about them, the less they can ‘hook’ young men on social media the better. The best way to do that is not to talk about them in general terms. By all means say they have been arrested etc. But a general chat about them. No. They rely on it.

Xanhi · 23/07/2026 17:42

He makes an awful lot of money out of stupid and/or vulnerable men.

Happyjoe · 23/07/2026 17:42

He is a prize cunt who makes money out of desperate incels and preys on their weakness and plants unrealistic and frightening ideas in their heads.

He's also (allegedly) a sex monster, a pimp, people traffics, a rapist and looks like he's also into children. Pure vile, every single part of him. I hope he is finally locked up soon with his brother and all the people that aided him.

SpottyAlpaca · 23/07/2026 17:43

Mariettta · 23/07/2026 14:34

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

I believe the brother (Tristan) is the technical, organisational & financial brains of the whole grifting / sex trafficking / pimping / money laundering operation while Andrew is the loud-mouthed front man.

Quite. I would not be remotely surprised if the DOJ intervenes in the extradition process and they are released. The US has plenty of form for refusing extradition to the UK - from IRA members to service men and women who have committed serious crimes while in the UK,

DontrockthecaravanGeoffrey · 23/07/2026 19:24

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

There's that old saying "At 20 you have the face God gave you, at 40 you have the face you deserve."

Andrew Tate is 40 this year. Just saying.
