Why are people so attracted to Andrew Tate?

[ChrisZoZo]

I feel like I have a good idea, but I would like to hear other peoples perspectives.

He offers hope to men who are lost, masterfully. However,  promising hope is not the same as discovering hope within yourself.

Very nice 👌

The Andrew Tate saga is the archetypical story of the seeker who falls in the hands of the charismatic narcissists. 
Seekers being in this case mostly young, in some way underprivileged men who find themselves amidst a meaning crisis with epochal proportions and an underlying societal architecture which is increasingly incapable to meet their needs on a more fundamental level.

Immature boys wants fast money, cars, and girls.

He is like the Kardashians for men.

Because he offers a simple solution to life's problems: get ripped, get rich, learn to kick ass, and adopt a certain hypervigilant mindset towards the world.

In other words he takes certain positive pursuits and cranks them to 11, while ignoring other approaches one needs for happiness and "the good life."

It is good to weight train.  It is good to make money.  It is good to learn some form of self-defense and situational awareness in public is a good thing.  

But you can easily overdo all these things as well.  The problem is that in his case it's an imbalanced, compulsive approach that - as has become clear in his case - can easily lead to self-destruction.

This appeals to a certain subset of young men because it's highly actionable stuff that doesn't require much, if any, self-examination.

Where does he offer this? I want to sign up 😂

They were just so repulsed by the woke agenda that anything else would have been music to their ears 

[Kksd74628]

Simply because he gives value what people on this forum will never understand.

[Hojo]

He is just being pushed by the media hard for some reason. No reason at all to talk about him. I think he just bought all his views and then the media pushed him so everyone knows who he is by default. There are millions of people with idiotic positions why focus on the one that corrupts the mind of children? Probably cause media wants too. I have yet to meet someone in real life that says hes cool or likes him.

From my understanding children like him? Like young boys, and that's because they are idiots and just looking for identity. Some asshole on the media every night is easy access.

He was not pushed by the media, quite the opposite. He was literally banned from all (social) media.

What helped him push through is a high carisma (common with sociopaths) which made his videos 'shareable' and kept him on the surface.

@tenfo banned from social media not the news not from podcast not from the ears and eyes of children. He's being pushed into the eyes and ears of children

Coz he is a master orator 

[Basman]

I've heard him described as an "id" for boys. Someone who is buff, says what ever he wants, gets lots of women, drives fast cars, rich, etc. Being unabashedly obnoxious and gratuitous is attractive on a primal level to many guys. He offers himself as a father figure of sorts which draws in the "losers" who like a role model and belonging.

Giving up your autonomy to any authority figure is a trap. The wisest teachers will want you out of their face in the end.

He brings out the masculine energy in feminine males.
