His basis is he is teaching young men traditional masculinity? To work, earn, provide, be selfish at times, strong and be family orientated. Some feminists may hate him, some may like him. But it doesn't change his mission to sell these ideas to young lost MEN.

How bad is he, when every person has their right to their own views and who they look up to?

I’m not really a fan of his delivery but that’s where people like him, Jordon Peterson, Just Pearl and the late Kevin Samuels have really etched out a lane for themselves .

Some of the messaging is ok, other bits ludicrous IMO.

From what i have seen, on a very superficial level yes, the traditional masculinity argument holds.

On a closer inspection there are layers of male superiority which do present as misogynistic. He has also championed and promoted business practices which are dubious at best.

He seems arrogant and narcissistic.

Add to that the allegations against him (which ain't looking good when viewed against his favour of 'less strict' R*pe laws in Romania) then I see little to admire in this man.

Commitment to an end game cause does not justify the methods and views used toward that cause.

There are plenty of very genuine and decent masculine men out in the world that are such without doing anything or needing to follow any kind of advice from him or anyone like him.

Where are the family role models ?

If the dads, uncles etc are more concerned checking their fab or insta than getting involved in things like youth clubs, scouts and taking the kids on adventures then of course the Andrew tates have a market and sad reality is there’s not much anyone can do because by the time boys are teenagers it’s too late to fix.

He is conman and a pimp! a perverted grifter preying on the insecurities of vulnerable young men and incel's to line his pockets. Because sexualy exploiting woman wasn't quite profitable enough on its own.

He and his brother are human garbage and will hopefully end up penniless and rotting in Romanian prisons.

I love the attempt to brand his basic misogyny and violence as "traditional masculinity" or whatever.

If young men are "lost" then they need help finding their place in the world, not to be taught that women are to blame.

"sell these ideas to young lost MEN. "

Otherwise known as taking advantage of vulnerable and impressionable men. Bad enough as it is, but then, to add on the fact he's teaching those men to take advantage of women's vulnerability too, I really don't think you'll find many people with any sense of morality coming out in support of him. That's my opinion anyway

A large part of the problem is that masculinity is often viewed on a spectrum by people. Like most things.

For some even the slightest hint of it becomes toxic and misogynistic. While to others they find a strong presence of it appealing.

There is obviously a line that crosses in to the dangerous side but when people have such varied opinions on such things it's difficult to find your place in the world of masculinity without being questioned.

Can’t say I’m a fan. I think he’s arrogant and full of himself. I don’t disagree with his views on personal accountability though, and you don’t get to be a multiple kickboxing champion without being able to back up what you say, and the ‘mysoginist’ thing is a bit far fetched.

I’m not really interested in what he has to say, but I do find it pretty alarming that anyone can be held for over 3 months with no charges brought against them. That’s the thing people should be paying attention to

Like I say, he isn't the role model to have, he's a con man in ways, but he has some interesting points, like how masculinity and testosterone is dropping rapidly in young men. How the school system is fucked. And so fourth. I'm sure there's plenty of broken hearted boys he has helped to turn into men. "

From the bits I’ve seen he goes out of his way to be provocative which even if it’s to hate on him it brings him attention he knows exactly what he’s doing, I also don’t understand the extreme hate but again I haven’t saw enough of him to fairly judge.

My eldest son/step son whatever want to call it was pretty taken with him more so the money side of things and signed up to his university thing I pre warned him it would be a load of shit and it was exactly that, told him that’s the reason the cunts rich preying on the gullible

A charge is not a conviction.

Apart from that I'm on the fence about him -- I dont have enough information to offer a judgement.

However, while I have no time for genuine misogyny, I'm also tired of feminists bleating 'toxic masculinity' anytime a man behaves in a traditionally masculine way.

Help them what?

Earn millions like he did?

Be a decent person who treats everyone with respect?

Give them the confidence to get out of their gaming chairs, find decent friends and have a real life?

If young men are struggling they need proper help, not help from someone like Andrew Tate.

He's not the epitome of masculinity for me, just because he was good at a martial art.

A news article titled how they have evidence of him stating women cannot leave his house. But the video is of the raid, where they find no women held against their will. A lot of these articles are also written by extreme feminists such as the one from GQ.

I agree with some of his statements, like how modern day men have become weaker. He makes you think, doesn't mean he is the role model young men need, but his influence isn't all bad.

I think he’s vile.

But as you rightly said, everyone has the right to look up to who they want.

Personally, I prefer my men to aim higher than Andrew Tate’s views.

He's plays a character on social media definitely loves to flash the cash and all it brings obviously not that wealthy if he talks about it all the time, although very smart comes across very strong I agree with some things he says and alot of it I don't, he allures young men with no confidence or social skills because alot of what he says resonates with them and hey he has probably helped alot of them out in some way, I don't really get the toxic masculinity thing I don't think it's even a thing, he's like every other personality on social media trying to stand out and then again social media is just pure poison so they're all the one shade

He's not behaving in a traditional masculine way, unless you mean flexing his muscles and flashing his money around young women.

"Coming from Liverpool I definitely don't trust the media that's for sure.

Believe what you like, he isn't teaching young men to human traffic.

I'm here now defending him which I didn't intend. But I would be blindsided if I said he couldn't help any young male at any point of their life.

Help them what?

Earn millions like he did?

Be a decent person who treats everyone with respect?

Give them the confidence to get out of their gaming chairs, find decent friends and have a real life?

If young men are struggling they need proper help, not help from someone like Andrew Tate.

He's not the epitome of masculinity for me, just because he was good at a martial art.

"

Again im only stating what i know and have seen. He preaches pride, honour, be strong and protect yourself, be motivated, have fun, live your life but have a plan. He is toxic, but so is mcgregor and he is another male influencer. The world is full of toxic people. I'm not saying he's a role model, yet again.

I'm not going to talk about him other than say I hope he is convicted and serves time.

I would prefer to draw attention to the need he meets. If what he says didn't resonate with some then he wouldn't be a thing

He's part of the respectable far right. They're shape shifters so hard to pin down. Some are chauvinists, men are men and women are subservient to them. Some are Red Pillers. You got J Peterson who is a clever POS, he sees a market an exploits it

Our world is changing, women don't need a man anymore. Women are better educated than men now. Thats cool. But it creates opportunities for Tate to exploit men and women.

Hannah Arendt who some of you 'ologists might know wrote in the 30's that loneliness was the root of facism. Well we got a crisis of loneliness.

As someone who tries to see both sides of a coin I think he's potentially very dangerous in terms of the potential influence on less than intelligent males. Misogyny is never a positive, no more so than radical feminism. Any boy/man who's well brought up will know right from wrong, what constitutes gentlemanly behavior and what constitutes respect and equality. I hear his message and hear good points at times, but am generally very wary of anyone who puts his/her self in a position to potentially cause harm. Many have made their minds up about him, but there's definitely a certain amount of yin with the yang. That being said these type of people don't remotely influence me. I set my moral standards myself not by anyone else's watch, particularly if their primary aim is to make money from what they're doing. Manipulative whether it's intended or not.....I'm out!

This is bullshit, pure and simple. Men haven't become weaker, women have become stronger, thats not the same thing. The world has changed, there's a lot I don't like about but there's a lot I do. Tate is a cancer than exploits the feeble minded and vulnerable. "Extreme feminists", what is wrong with you?

Off the top of my head, I'm not his fan, but I'm interested in the topic so I'll give it my best shot... he believes in brotherhood, teamwork, loyalty, preaches hard work, to be strong, competitive, advocate of fitness and mental strength.

I know nothing of this person, only comments I've read online, mainly here.

From what I can gather, he's the epitome of a man believing he's alpha when in reality, he's simply toxic.

I think though, he's not necessarily the problem but the result of a seriously divided society, divided into the smallest of pieces, and so very willing to be so.

Not all masculinity is toxic, not all feminine wholesome.

Let me add, I'm certainly not masculine, in fact both my partner and my partner before have jokingly referred to me as the mum in this relationship.

My partner also joked a few times, saying .... Can't I be the woman in this relationship, for once.

I was brought up surrounded by good women, with only my grandad as a man in my life until I was around 10 years of age.

Until we can begin to pull together, fight together against all that is wrong, in this sense both Misogyny and Misandry, this problem is going to get bigger.

My eldest son is seriously damaged by his mother, with her Misandry, toxic feminine traits.

Thankfully he mentioned Andrew Tate to me recently and he tells me he's a prize prick, then suggested to me he's like a male version of his Mum.

I didn't ask him to explain how, I allowed him to speak as he pleases.

My youngest son has no interest in this disgusting (from what I can gather) man either.

Thankfully, that's one personal battle I won't need to partake.

In a world of divide, be the togetherness.

There have been many people peddling ideologies to lost young people over the years and then profiting in terms of money or power.

Andrew Tate is not in the slightest bit original. The first time I saw him, he was spouting some monologue about what women want and how they think. My daughter looked at me and said: guess I'm not a woman then, because I can't relate to any of that.

I was very glad to hear that, because I would be very concerned for her well-being. If she had anything to do with anyone who held such views.

If you want some philosophical guidance on life read Bertrand Russell's History of western philosophy. Or watch the Yale Philosophy lectures on line. Actually learn some basic critical reasoning skills, because if you think Andrew Tate has the answers you are well and truly fucked. It's like Brass eye was a blueprint for the future rather than satire.

Like I've said all the way through this forum I'm the devil's advocate. I came to spark a debate. Alls you see is how bad he is from the media. I wanted to see if anyone agreed with some of his messages. I STILL believe some of his messages will help a young man. But he shouldn't be the role model and shouldn't have all that power he has.

How will an impressionable young (and not so young) man differentiate between the good and the bad bits of what he says?"

You're very right there. It's a fine line I guess, if you're influenced by some opinions you may be influenced by other opinions. But I do believe a young man would have morals in place, built from society.

If a man and it isn't just young ones who follow him, have morals in place built by society he won't need to follow whatever Mr Tate's positive opinions are. He will have his own opinions based on those morals

Op, I do find it intresting how the stance has changed throughout this thread. You start by basically defending him, his teachings, leanings, his less than favorable moralistic stance...to when people challenge that, it moves into I only agree with dome of it...which totally negates the statement which I paraphrase...we all have the right to look up to who you look up to...if you look up to him then look up to him, and stand in your truth...

You have been coming at me all night I guess you have some motivation to lump me in as a fan I'm here to debate so I'll answer your attack on my integrity.

Like I have stated from the beginning, I'm the devil's advocate. I stated it may sound like I'm defending him but I'm not.

My view hasn't changed once throughout the thread, I stated some of his messages would aid a young man. I stated he is selling traditional masculinity, and I agreed he is toxic. My OPINION is that some of what he preaches is not bad information for a young man. Like I've stated for the 5th time.... brotherhood, hard work, fitness, mental strength, loyalty etc.

Like I have also stated he comes with the bad, and I am enjoying the debate and learning some valuable things. Such as the lady who stated how would they differentiate the good from the bad.

This is purely a debate. I don't claim to be a 'know it all' myself. So hope this clears things up for you my friend.

Honestly OP In my own opinion...

I would say that to a certain level Andrew Tate is a dangerous individual...

the man is a former professional kick boxing champion...

he has an alleged connection or involvement to serious organised criminal activities in the past which suggests a possible link/relationship to underworld criminal syndicates...

Despite how he may appear sometimes on his videos or things he comes out with or does/shows off about he has a level off intelligence that he does not always display...

for instance his knowledge on things such as chess strategies...

he knows that his opinions are controversial and at times go to provocative to even sometimes a fine line between illegal and legal even..

he is fully aware off his target audience be it from celebrities/famous people to you're everyday man or woman or younger audiences..

he knows how to level with them as he is the kind off guy who given a platform with the things he is coming out with he knows it appeases to societies more negative desires or outlooks/behaviour which are normally banned on mainstream social outlets/media or just everyday life..

He uses a blunt or often no bars held approach in getting his points across or when he is telling people how to do things which would normally be seen as wrong or immoral...

he was interviewed not so long ago by a BBC journalist and he some how managed to turn the tables on the interviewer...

make no mistake he will have some sociopathic/psychotic tendencies which draws and influences people or sometimes those who can be more susceptible to manipulation in life.....

does he from time to time make some interesting or valid points about life? I guess so....

but overall he knows how to reel people in and have them want to follow his life style as they see the wealth or the houses/cars/women or his personality and think they want to live a life similar to his own life style..

Might as well throw my 2 cents into this thread.

I find the exercise of playing devil's advocate for characters like him curious. Nothing wrong with it, just unnecessary really if you understand his character.

If I say things like "you should go to the gym and eat healthy" and "you need to take responsibility for your own actions and be able to provide for yourself" but then take advantage of young people, taking their money, spread messages blatant misogyny, alongside the serious crimes such as the ones he's accused of of human trafficking, does my good advice outweigh my bad actions? Perhaps if I show off as rich and successful it's enough to erase all my wrongdoings. Wouldn't be the first and certainly won't be the last.

He takes advantage of people in fragile states of mind who cannot think for themselves, selling them the idea that everyone else is wrong and "sheep" and creates a cult of personality based on hate masked as a mission of brotherhood and helping men while he gets richer in the process. But people can believe whatever they choose about individuals like him.

If he was shorter, had a silly square moustache and was spreading hate towards a certain ethnoreligious group instead of women, I'm not sure there'd be this debate...

Also, just as a tid but of information, at the risk of sounding like an insufferable know-it-all. Doing some research shows that the idea of the traditional man = alpha and aggressive is semi-recent (last 50 years or so) and well... Not really true. But the idea that it was 100% true became popular and is now taken as "common knowledge" and spread massively online. However, no matter how many times people with massive followings with no actual scientific knowledge says it online... It won't make it true

"A charge is not a conviction.

Apart from that I'm on the fence about him -- I dont have enough information to offer a judgement.

However, while I have no time for genuine misogyny, I'm also tired of feminists bleating 'toxic masculinity' anytime a man behaves in a traditionally masculine way.

He's not behaving in a traditional masculine way, unless you mean flexing his muscles and flashing his money around young women.

"From what i have seen, on a very superficial level yes, the traditional masculinity argument holds.

On a closer inspection there are layers of male superiority which do present as misogynistic. He has also championed and promoted business practices which are dubious at best.

He seems arrogant and narcissistic.

Add to that the allegations against him (which ain't looking good when viewed against his favour of 'less strict' R*pe laws in Romania) then I see little to admire in this man.

Trained with him for many years and his brother, way before they got the notoriety he has now

Tbh I (mr) got on reasonably well with him but even back then many at the kickboxing club didn’t, his brother was more of andrews shadow, both pretty much inseparable as you see today

Even back then the most common thing to be said about him was he’s arrogant, a time when he was an up and coming fighter

Not much changed when he became world champion, he was very much self promoting himself then

Sorry everyone but this man is way more cleaver then he’s given credit for, he’s used every part of the hatred given to him and used that energy to become a millionaire

Cold and calculating, he’s clearly a psychopath!

Young men are in desperate need of good male role models. I would argue the same of young women being in need of good male role models too. And this guy and his poisoned message is not it. We do need to look after and encourage or young men, something I think we are failing in society. But just because someone toxic see's opportunity in this problem doesn't mean their gap filling product is healthy for me or society. We need good loving male role models that promote resilience, fortitude and determination (the war in Ukraine is a stark reminder we need to give our young people of any sex this). But also they need to learn love, magnanimity and duty to others. We don't need men who see our women as something to be conquered, manipulated and subjugated. We need men who want to collaborate, support and build up our women. Role modles who are open, honest, reliable.

Likewise we should expect of female role models to set the same examples. Sadly there are too many female role models to quick to shit on men and reinforce toxic male stereotypes and messages rather than being intrested in pushing everyone forward together. And that is another side of this problem and what aids men's alienation and vulnerability towards the messages of charlatans like Tate.

He's hilarious. From a distance and in isolation, he is just the most idiosyncratic, paradoxically challenged and confused man in the planet today. As a centre piece of observation, I cannot begin to express the joy his smooth brain nonsense brings.

In the wider scope, of whom he affects, directly with his actions towards women, indirectly with the "advice" he gives and lessons he tries to teach. Terrifying. Truly terrify.

Plus his awful American English bastardised accent. With the deep adenoid sounds. Too funny to mimic.

"As someone who tries to see both sides of a coin I think he's potentially very dangerous in terms of the potential influence on less than intelligent males. Misogyny is never a positive, no more so than radical feminism. Any boy/man who's well brought up will know right from wrong, what constitutes gentlemanly behavior and what constitutes respect and equality. I hear his message and hear good points at times, but am generally very wary of anyone who puts his/her self in a position to potentially cause harm. Many have made their minds up about him, but there's definitely a certain amount of yin with the yang. That being said these type of people don't remotely influence me. I set my moral standards myself not by anyone else's watch, particularly if their primary aim is to make money from what they're doing. Manipulative whether it's intended or not.....I'm out!

Probably not, I agree. It's just an incredibly ugly thing perpetrated by inwardly ugly humans.

"A charge is not a conviction.

Apart from that I'm on the fence about him -- I dont have enough information to offer a judgement.

Keanu Reeves is an absolutely brilliant analogy/example!

However, while I have no time for genuine misogyny, I'm also tired of feminists bleating 'toxic masculinity' anytime a man behaves in a traditionally masculine way.

He's not behaving in a traditional masculine way, unless you mean flexing his muscles and flashing his money around young women.

Traditional masculinity IS stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression. Google it

Do you know what Stoicism is...as an avid reader of Stoic philosophy, Andrew tate most certainly doesn't fit into Stoic philosophy

I think near enough all celebrities could not be stoic. And he isn't since he relies on people's opinions of himself.

Totally disagree with that about all celebrities. There is many who definitely are very stoic in nature

If that's what you think Keanu reeves is the only one who comes to mind. Some many practice it, like Arnold swarzenegger. It is something learnt so potentially there could be "

"As someone who tries to see both sides of a coin I think he's potentially very dangerous in terms of the potential influence on less than intelligent males.

Feminism I'll allow, but radical feminists can get back into the kitchen.

"I haven't seen him express anything about exploiting women or asking young men to. He speaks on providing for them. May of spoke on 'sleeping with multiple beautiful women'. He's a salesmen at the end of the day.

He's on sex trafficking charges amongst other things how's that not exploitation "

and they found nothing, don't let the media brainwash you again.

He's a twat that says twatish things, sometime he has a good point but his delivery of said point is rubbish, and then is destroyed by the next twatish thing he does.

I can think of a view I'd like to have an Andrew Tate.

It's one where im looking through a really powerful telescope and he's very, very, very far away from the rest of humanity, alone on a desert island, with no Internet and just baked beans to live on for the rest of his life.

"Trained with him for many years and his brother, way before they got the notoriety he has now

Tbh I (mr) got on reasonably well with him but even back then many at the kickboxing club didn’t, his brother was more of andrews shadow, both pretty much inseparable as you see today

Even back then the most common thing to be said about him was he’s arrogant, a time when he was an up and coming fighter

Not much changed when he became world champion, he was very much self promoting himself then

Sorry everyone but this man is way more cleaver then he’s given credit for, he’s used every part of the hatred given to him and used that energy to become a millionaire

Cold and calculating, he’s clearly a psychopath!"

Adding to my last comment, he is from one of the roughest council estate in Luton which is a rough town

This man decided instead of falling into drugs and becoming (420 friendly) a junkie or criminal to devote his early life as an athlete of the highest level, clean living with no drugs

I think based on this he views the modern world full of weaknesses

After rising to the top of his sport he became a millionaire through his mind

Unfortunately he has a very strong opinion

It’s worth remembering the Romanian authority’s are struggling to bring a conviction after 3 months of being held in Jail and further house arrest

Could it be his mouth that got him here ?

Others have done the same and aren't twats about it. Where you come from, and how you came up doesn't give you license to act like a twat.

I don't care enough to look into why he was in jail, and if he should have been there. The saying there's no smoke without fire exists for a reason.

The points I made are clear!

He was world champion kick-boxer

Millionaire

Didn’t fall by the wayside into drugs or crime!

Tyson fury is another outspoken world champion

He lost it all due to drugs and fought back to the top

But because he’s a gypsy he was hated

The hypocrisy is unbelievable but it’s plain to see
