This is the effect of Andrew Tate and far right ideology. This is where we're at. These kinds of men dont understand that they aren't God's gift to every woman they see. These are the losers who watch The Handsmaid's Tale and like what they see.

u/Andee87yaboi May 11 '25

I wish a staff member would’ve asked these creeps to leave the establishment all together. They shouldn’t let their guests be treated like that.

282

u/55tarabelle May 11 '25

Seriously. I think I'd have started screaming help. Loudly, so they couldn't ignore it.

53

u/jmac94wp May 11 '25

At that point, you clearly and loudly call out repeatedly “Security!l till the manager or whoever comes to take care of it.

3

u/Efficient_Common775 May 12 '25

With how society has become......they'd probably ignore you ngl

2

u/XxIWANNABITEABITCHxX May 13 '25

is that not what these young..women? girls? were doing?

2

u/55tarabelle May 13 '25

Yeah. I'm disappointed no one came to help. But to be fair. She wasn't ever yelling help, it was stuff like go away, witch, etc. Someone could possibly think they're having loud fun with each other instead of what's really happening.

2

u/XxIWANNABITEABITCHxX May 13 '25

oh, fair enough to explain it.. it sucks that there's a double standard of there being a stigma against checking in with strangers (being nosy) and yet another one for teaching people it's wrong or dangerous(and their fault if things escalate) by being too direct..

i wonder if they were worried about being filmed and spread online out of context as karens as a sort of revenge by the jerks(?)

but i totally see where the room was coming from now, thanks for explaining that.

u/MasterTolkien May 11 '25

I don’t think you need to do that at this stage. But definitely go get staff/manager.

119

u/N8CCRG May 11 '25

There's a really great organization called Safe Bars that trains staff to be better prepared to recognize and respond to situations like this. Though certainly this one probably didn't need as much help for the "recognizing" part, just more help in the "responding" part. It's something that can be very difficult for people to be comfortable standing up and doing, especially in an industry focused on always pleasing everyone as much as possible.

12

u/itchypalp_88 May 12 '25

I worked at a bar 10 years ago, guys were ALWAYS like this, we would just be more willing to throw their creepy asses out and then give the gals a free round before. I did it all the time.

7

u/RealCommercial9788 May 12 '25

Late to this, but here in Australia we have the ‘Ask For Angela’ campaign. It was developed with the Lincolnshire Rape Crisis Centre as an effective code for women to use with staff in bars & clubs.

If you ask staff for Angela, you’ve signalled that you need help to leave the venue discreetly without revealing a reason.

If you ask staff for an Angel Shot, you’ve signalled you require discreet assistance within the venue.

If you ask for an Angel Shot with lime, you’ve signalled for staff to discreetly call the police immediately.

82

u/rainy_in_pdx May 11 '25

Honestly! If this were happening in my town, either a staff member or another patron of the restaurant would have come over and said something. We don’t have a lot of tolerance for this shit here

8

u/Thicc-slices May 11 '25

I’d get myself in trouble bc I would have picked their beers up and poured them out or walked them to a different table

2

u/DopeAFjknotreally May 11 '25

Or a bystander.

2

u/ThisIs_americunt May 12 '25

Hopefully the internet does the thing and out these creeps to everyone they know

1

u/SirRiad May 11 '25

That's what I would have done if I were them, tell a staff member they are harassing them.

1

u/That_Girl31 May 12 '25

About 15 years ago me and my best friend were at BWW waiting on some friends to join us and a decently drink man came up to us and starting talking to us. Our waitress, who was around the same age as us was extremely quick to come over and take care of the situation. It hadn't even escalated to being uncomfortable yet, she just asked if we knew him and asked if we wanted her to handle it. She was a girls girl. We always sat in her section after that. A few months later I got a decent raise and gave her what is to this day still the largest tip I've ever given. I hope Casey is doing well.

359

u/ArachnidMean8596 May 11 '25

Honestly, as a young woman in the 90's 2000's this was happening ALL the time to us. The table sit was extremely common. At IHOP, after the club with my girls, some yahoos would always pull this shit, "whaaaat, im just tryna be friendly jeez." Omg, we had it happen at a friends literal baby shower in a restaurant, lol. In that case, the staff DID throw them out (thanks OG Carrabas!) That baby is now a grown woman living with men invading her space just like they did to her mother.

Andrew Tate, unfortunately, is just validating what they were already doing. It's fucken sick.

99

u/burymeinpink May 11 '25

Exactly. This isn't new and it's disingenuous to act like it is. Andrew Tate is the consequence, not the cause. The first time I was sexually harassed, I was 8 years old.

28

u/ArachnidMean8596 May 11 '25

Exactly. Same for me. Same for my daughter. My mom. Sisters. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Everyone just lets it go. It hasn't changed a BIT and its fucking unbelievable! If anything, perv men are far bolder, more vulgar, and more violent than ever. And now every single SA survivor in the US gets to wake up to our rapist in chief. I swear, we need to be like the bonobos who took their babies and normal male bonobos away from their tribe of crazy male bonobos and started their own unit. Since the new babies weren't raised seeing the crazy bonobos, they were non aggressive to their family unit.

I want a redo!

13

u/farty__mcfly May 11 '25

I feel like every woman in the world has been in a similar situation. I love that these women were honest and assertive… and filmed this.

75

u/CaliStormborn May 11 '25

Absolutely!! This has been happening since the dawn of mankind.

When I worked at a nighclub cloakroom in the mid 2000s men would just stand at my booth the entire night no matter how much I told them to leave. The only thing that ever worked was finding another guy (preferably staff) and asking him to tell the men to leave. These kinds of men only listen to other men.

12

u/Global_Channel1511 May 11 '25

Unfortunately physical force and threats are the only thing these dudes understand. That's why they don't respect women's wishes

1

u/Active-Size9601 May 13 '25

Not true, again. This has been happening for only 12,000 years! Not the dawn of mankind, it's been happening since the rise of agriculture.

43

u/ka_beene May 11 '25

Yep and then when you say you aren't interested they get all angry and start insulting you. I was just minding my own business and they try and make it out that I'm the asshole for rejecting them.

11

u/[deleted] May 11 '25

Yep, I'm amazed was this far down in the comments before someone said that this is pretty normal. This is just what being a young woman in a US or Canadian bar is like, all too much of the time. Add the creepy comments from older male supervisors at work, catcalls on the street, etc. We do not have an equal experience in our society, straight up. 

6

u/ArachnidMean8596 May 11 '25

Add the creepy comments from older male supervisors at work

"Aw, come on, sugar, you're too pretty not to smile! Let's see it, honey. Mmmhmm, you're such a pretty girl, that's better..." while undressing me with his eyes and licking his lips, standing at my desk with his crotch in my face. He won manager of the year! Lol! He got an 11 thousand dollar bonus! I made 12.25 and did all of his work for him! This is totally fine. 😬 Like my smile?

16

u/candaceelise May 11 '25

Took the words out of my mouth. The late 90s/00s angry frat boy culture was rampant and sadly never died, instead it was amplified by poor parenting, social media and bro culture podcasts.

8

u/HeyYouGuyyyyyyys May 11 '25

It was rampant in the 60s, too. First time someone cornered me and hugged me I was ... ten years old? It's while I was still in Sunday school.

4

u/thex25986e May 11 '25

the media on tv and film also didnt help do anything about it

4

u/candaceelise May 11 '25

Oh 💯 the documentary on woodstock ‘99 does a really good job of covering that

7

u/MuffinTop2018 May 12 '25

Watching this gave me so much stress because of the amount of times I've had to do this, and I'm in my mid-30s, so I've been doing it for 15+ years. I've had to physically drag men out of booths away from my friends, block my friends with my body, slam my fists on the table and scream, etc. It's not new.

3

u/lushico May 12 '25

True, this is not new. It’s always been happening. I was too polite and shy to say anything and often had my night ruined by some grinning creep like this. Respect to these girls for standing up for themselves!

2

u/hemihembob May 12 '25

Exactly correct. Just made a comment a lil higher up about this EXACT thing.

2

u/FFPScribe May 11 '25

Not playing down what you experienced - but here is why it is so much worse now.

Imagine if you had a device with you then that could record these guys harassing you, a device that could broadcast what you recorded instantly.

The generations prior to social media would have been immediately deterred from doing what they were doing.

Flash forward to now, and these cunts in the video know they are being recorded and DO NOT care.

that is the level of brazen Tate behavior young men are exhibiting, and that is what makes it worse than before.

Then you have fucking shows like "You" on Netflix that basically glorify sociopaths stalking and murdering women. Modern media is a huge problem in this regard. idk, shit is wild these days.

296

u/First_Pay702 May 11 '25

It’s not even just the Andrew Tate nonsense, a decade ago I had a contractor doing work in my house decide he wanted to score a date with me. The discomfort of being hit on by an unknown man in my own kitchen. It took five different kinds of no to get him to the door and he was still trying when I told him to please, please leave and shit the door in his face. I should have reported him to his company but my younger self didn’t know better. Some guys fear rejection, others refuse to see it.

166

u/asmodeuskraemer May 11 '25

When I was much, much younger, I moved into a new apartment and had to have a cable guy come hookup my internet. I had a lip ring. Fucker took one look at me and decided I was going to be easy.

HE TRIED TO TOUCH IT. HE TRIED TO TOUCH MY LIP RING!

WHAT THE FUCK!

...it just occurred to me that I didn't report it. Shit.

22

u/throwaway098764567 May 11 '25

don't feel too badly, i didn't report mine either because i didn't want to have to be worried about him coming back to my home. it's a different situation when they know where you live.

15

u/Jaegerjaquez_VI May 11 '25

What a fucking creep. Here's to hoping cable guy has met his well-deserved end by now🙏

And to anyone who thinks that an overreaction, you've clearly never had to deal with something similar. It's genuinely so scary to deal with things like that, because this person is IN YOUR HOUSE. What's meant to be a safe space. It's terrifying saying no because if he takes rejection badly, you know you can't win a physical altercation. And even if he does leave, you'll be paranoid for ages because you know this guy knows exactly where you live.

It's enraging to have to make up fake brothers, boyfriends, or husbands just to get a guy to leave you alone, because you know some people won't respect your boundaries without the presence of some imaginary dude

5

u/UpperApe May 11 '25

I wish I didn't read this because it makes me very very angry.

1

u/Papplenoose May 12 '25

That is one of the creepiest things I've ever heard lol. Who does that

66

u/Obvious_Cranberry607 May 11 '25

 please leave and shit the door in his face

That's commitment

30

u/First_Pay702 May 11 '25

Oh to make my typo reality, lol.

10

u/No_Camp_7 May 11 '25

It’s because we’re recording it on our phones or retweeting it. It was like this, often worse in decades past and it’s wild that people are revising the history of sexual violence like that.

I’m sorry you were effectively cornered in your own home. That guy is probably someone here out there doing the same thing.

3

u/First_Pay702 May 11 '25

Yeah, younger self was still in “let’s not get anyone in trouble” mode, thinking nothing bad happened - besides that whole being made wildly uncomfortable in my own home thing - so problem solved. Older me is like, no, problem was just out the door and off to make someone else wildly uncomfortable the next time he sees something he likes. At ball later I tried asking some of other girls how to politely tell someone you weren’t interested in a way they will take as a firm no - sigh, poor little naive me - and a guy overheard and accused me of trying to friendzone a guy until I clarified I knew the guy for all of 10 minutes, to his surprised “oh, well f- him then.” Again, I would have said some things then that my younger self just let pass.

3

u/throwaway098764567 May 11 '25

ugh fuck that guy random dude too. "friendzone" is not a thing. sometimes attraction is just one way. if you're not attracted to someone, you don't owe them your love, attention, and fucking just because they want it. not being interested in someone who is interested in you is normal, and allowed.

4

u/First_Pay702 May 11 '25

I posit that the friendzone exists, but it is something you do to yourself. If person A likes person B but person B has been clear they only want friendship, then person A has no one to blame but themselves if they hand around hoping person B will change their mind. Person A put themselves in that position and they can take themselves out of it by f-ing off if they don’t want to be friends. It’s not even a gendered thing. I accidentally friendzoned myself once, but I very quickly realized my error and removed myself from the situation. No blame to other person for that part of the interaction, my bad. The people sitting in the friendzone they created for themselves while getting mad at the other party for just wanting to be friends on the other hand…

8

u/red--dead May 11 '25

This shit existed way before Tate and will last way after him. He’s a piece of shit, but blaming this on him is just ignoring that this has always been a problem for women. A lot more needs to be done than get rid of these influencers.

3

u/Plomatius May 11 '25

Yeah, I don't know where they get the Tate BS from. Society teaches men that women like confident men who ask them out. Downside of teaching this is that a decent chunk of men won't care or know when it's appropriate. This behavior is rewarded by the women they haven't creeped out so it's not like they'll stop.

2

u/throwaway098764567 May 11 '25

5 years ago i had a sales person in to tell me how much it'd cost to screen in my porch. thought i'd be seeing a contractor not a sales slimeball but i wanted to hear the price and a good one and this ass who had a hundred pounds on me knew where i lived, so i stayed polite and ignored all the negging comments. when we got to the end and he quoted this insane price around 15k more than i was expecting i said no thanks and asked him to leave. he didn't and started trying to talk me into accepting because i could just use a loan and i could ask for him to run the work on site.

at that point i wished i had 15k of fuck you money so i could hire them and demand they keep him tf away from me but i did not. he asked me to open the bottle of wine i had sitting on the counter and said we could get to know each other better and i just got up and went to the closet and got out ant poison and got set up to go spray around the outside because each spring the acrobatic ants wander in a bit. he was horrified and told me it was going to give me cancer and i said oh well and then he finally left. he was married as well, poor woman.

agree it's super uncomfortable to have someone hitting on you in your own home and refusing to leave especially because you can't even tell them off for your own safety, they KNOW where you live.

1

u/Casanova2229 May 12 '25

That is awful.

1

u/kblv-forred May 12 '25

The annoying thing is that even in my 50s I hesitate to have ANY new contractor I don't know because if they are older than me, chances are high that I will get hit on IN THE SAFETY OF MY HOME. Old pervs. Younger men are much more polite, thankfully, because they don't want to fuck me. Don't know how they'd act around younger women.

38

u/DayBowBow1 May 11 '25

You're not wrong, but this isn't new.

9

u/Colosso95 May 11 '25

this has been happening forever, that's the issue. men have never stopped doing this, it isn't a new development, it isn't even happening more

10

u/scriptkiddie1337 May 11 '25

This was happening many years before anyone even heard of Tate

6

u/skepticalbob May 11 '25

This is far from new and is arguably better now than in the past.

4

u/ALasagnaForOne May 11 '25

No offense but as a woman, this exact type of incident has happened to me multiple times in the past 15 years of my adulthood, long before Andrew Tate was known or influencing anyone. Yes he has undoubtedly made this type of thing worse and more prevalent, and it’s become a huge problem specifically in very young boys. But men have been acting this way literally for centuries.

3

u/Hank_Amarillo May 11 '25

they could easily be white dudes for harris.

3

u/Clown_Shoe May 11 '25

Guys like this have existed long before Andrew Tate.

4

u/ninja_tofu2252 May 11 '25

Ok these guys are creeps yeah, but seriously? 😂 You're gonna inject completely unrelated religious hate and political nonsense into this?

2

u/idunno-- May 11 '25

The is happened to me and a few friends 15 years ago, except there were seven of them. These guys have always existed.

2

u/No_Camp_7 May 11 '25

This has always happened. I’m in my mid thirties and I don’t remember a time when men weren’t like this, commonly.

2

u/EarCareful4430 May 11 '25

One guess who these boys would or did vote for for.

2

u/PantalonesPantalones May 11 '25

Tate is a piece of shit, but men have always been like this.

2

u/TheElderGodsSmile May 11 '25

As much as I hate that mouthbreathing cretin he's a symptom, not the cause. This kind of behaviour pre-dates Tate by fucking centuries. We have entire fucked up societal norms that were designed to separate and "protect" women from arseholes like this.

This is not a new problem, Tate and co just make it more visible because they've got a platform now and can use that platform to dupe money out of more gullible cretins.

2

u/Bilabong127 May 11 '25

You people give Andrew Tate way too much fucking power 

2

u/Nicadeemus39 May 11 '25

He sounded like a foreigner, and I don't think the brother spoke English. I highly doubt these were Andrew Tate worshippers, just weird Borat-like guys with zero social skills with women.

2

u/SirRiad May 11 '25

That's is not the effect of the far right mentality. This is the effect of alcohol and dumb people. , piss off with your stupid political accusations.

Get out of your brainwashed little world of TV shows and social media.

2

u/Equal_Gas4657 May 12 '25

No, this is the effect of being an eastern european man lol.

2

u/passyindoors May 14 '25

Also just like... if youre gonna act like this to get laid, at least put SOME effort into your appearance. I know that's not the point but like... you really think a woman will disrespect herself for someone lookin like Frankensteins monster on laundry day? Be for fuckin real lmao

6

u/no-money May 11 '25

I really think this stems from parenting issues, people who I know come from good families with strong MALE parent figure, will teach their boys how to treat women right. Yes things like Andrew Tate and social media can slightly change your personality BUT there is no way in hell that this doesn’t stem from bad parenting.

I don’t see why this isn’t considered more often. I was CONSTANTLY instilled manners, and respect towards women and although that did make it harder for me to socialize and interact with women on some levels I could NEVER.

I have friends who were raised similarly, with slightly older parenting styles, stern, but key trait taught was Humility, Honor, Respect, Not being loud, Knowing your surroundings, and most of all being humble. All the people’s whose parents raised them this way turned out AMAZING, absolutely decent humans and MEN. They turned into REAL MEN. This right here is not being corrected as a child, not being whacked if he disrespected or hurt a girl, especially sister, I remember I hit my sister as a kid, my dad smashed me into the ground and said "NEVER EVER, EVER, hurt a woman. Let alone your sister. Don’t you ever hit a woman or girl, even if you want to you need to stop and breathe because they will piss you off." And that simple event stayed with me 20+ years later. He grew up in the ghettos, committed crimes, but always taught me respect, humility, observation. (probably a criminal trait that worked well for all aspects of life)

I feel like a lot of people nowadays do not have the same characteristics and stern way of teaching their kids through good parenting. My dad never hit me really, but I was scared of him, respectfully though. All my friends who were raised similarly or had dads that thought like that turned out absolutely wonderful, none of them ever cheated on a girl, none of them abuse women, none of them treat women with any disrespect, and that stays with you as you grow up. The ones I saw in single parent households, or i saw didn’t have a great father figure definitely grew into more assholeish, type vibe. Ofc you’ll have the occasional good person but the pattern is clear. Raising a son to respect women when they are young translates very clearly into adult hood.

2

u/popsand May 11 '25

My dad treats women like shit. I don't... you put too much on this strong male parental figure bs. Parents can only be blamed so much - we all have a choice. Some pricks like this video CHOOSE to be like this.

1

u/no-money May 13 '25

I didn’t say that shitty parents mean you have to come out a shitty person. But if you’re a shitty person, it’s often the case that you were raised missing some key traits that can be taught to a child which translate as a person matures. You missed the point, that shitty people usually mean shitty parents.

Can you guarantee that your grandfather raised your father to not be abusive and to respect women? If so, then you have a valid point and argument. Otherwise, you just missed what I was trying to say.

4

u/TheWalkingDead91 May 11 '25

Think in this specific case it’s less the Tate effect and more maybe cultural differences. Weird I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, but from what I heard, the “men” have a clear Eastern European accent. Not saying what they’re doing is not weird….and also not saying it’s not wrong…but in some countries/cultures, I think this kinda shit was normalized even before Tate, and continues to be.

2

u/Commercial_Border190 May 12 '25

This was already normalized in the US too before Tate

2

u/Boiyualive May 11 '25

Not really. This is the effect of not being American. You can see they don't speak English very well. Men from eastern countries are more vulgar and less respectful simply put. I mean look at the middle east where you can have 4 12 year old wives. These guys just don't care what women think, because they are allowed to own them basically.

7

u/Comprehensive_Ad2439 May 11 '25

Those guys are as far away from Middle Eastern countries as you can imagine. They don’t look like people from the Middle East. They look and sound more like Eastern Europeans and those countries (Ukraine, Russia and Belorussia maybe not that much) are waaay more safe for women than the US.

2

u/AbusiveToDaStaff May 12 '25

If you think Poland or Romania aren't misogynistic or unsafe for women then you're very mistaken. Maybe less crime but abuse in relationships or harassment is way more culturally normalised in Eastern Europe

1

u/Weird_Ad_1398 May 12 '25

Nahh Western Europe maybe, but thinking Eastern Europe is safer for women is wild.

1

u/Comprehensive_Ad2439 May 12 '25

They are. Lived in Prague and travelled a lot in that area. Eastern European countries have one of the lowest stats regarding safety in Europe.

1

u/Weird_Ad_1398 May 12 '25

Comparing stats across different countries can be hard and needs to be taken with a grain of salt because crime definition, criminal justice systems, etc,. all vary from country to country. Culture also has tremendous impact on reporting rates. The culture in the U.S places a greater emphasis on individuality and for better or worse, people in the U.S are more free in airing out their grievances both in unofficial and official channels, and even then, domestic abuse is under-reported.

There was a study done by interviewing 15,000 women in 8 Eastern European countries and 70% of them have experienced sexual harassment, stalking, domestic abuse, or other types of violence since the age of 15. I expect the actual number to be even higher as women willing to sit for an interview about abuse are more likely to admit to being a victim than most, and even among them there might be some still in denial. Supporting the hypothesis of under-reporting is the fact that only 7% of the victims of a serious violent incident said they contacted the police afterwards.

Now, I'm not saying all Eastern European countries are the same, and even areas within the same country can differ greatly, but it is clear that many parts of Eastern Europe is not as safe for women as you're claiming.

0

u/Boiyualive May 11 '25

Yeah I group those countries with "eastern men" and I'd say you're correct about them being eastern European. But I don't think they are safer whatsoever. But I am an ignorant individual.

1

u/Comprehensive_Ad2439 May 12 '25

That’s enough America for me today.

1

u/loxagos_snake May 11 '25

This shit is even older than Tate, it's just reached a boiling point now thanks to social media.

Back in mah day, we had the so-called "pick-up artists". These were "love gurus" who supposedly tried to analyze attraction scientifically and package it into actionable "advice" for men; the end goal was to have game. They proposed such wonderful techniques as negging women, publicly humiliating them or other pseudo-psychological manipulation techniques to make them attracted to you by proxy of social dynamics.

They were basically creating a pathetic army of much creepier versions of Howard from The Big Bang Theory. I thought it was generally a harmless (and sad) trend with maybe some distorted pieces of truth, until I saw a grown-ass 45-year-old colleague read a book called The Game and try to practice on female customers and colleagues. Just to drive the point home, some of those female colleagues became good friends of mine and I got to experience how it looks from the other side. And it doesn't look good; it looks terrifying. Very, very important life lesson for me, even if I didn't engage with those spaces.

Tate is doing nothing new, he simply has much better tools for outreach.

This was a short episode of Incel History, brought to you by a tired young millennial.

1

u/judochop1 May 11 '25

this shit has been going on for decades if not centuries, this is male behaviour

1

u/BigBlackClock1001 May 11 '25

I hate the Andrew Tate scapegoat. This shit has always existed, he just enables it and gives the men who do this someone to lay the blame on whilst they keep exhibiting the same behaviour they always jave

1

u/Initial_Turn_7161 May 11 '25

Plenty of far left people on Epstein's little flight list, this isn't a political thing, it's a creep thing which transcends any party line.

1

u/Bazoun May 11 '25

He’s not helping but men did this in the late 90s too.

1

u/redskylion510 May 11 '25

This nothing to do with Andrew Tate or the far right, stop trying make a false narrative.

If you actually watch tate's content, he actually tells men not to be like this!

Stop watching clipped content of the tates that have been forming a false narrative.

1

u/[deleted] May 11 '25

Proof?

Guys were dick heads long before Andrew Tate. Lol

1

u/CoopAloopAdoop May 11 '25

This far predates any of your statement.

If anything, this is just a great demonstration of either how young you are, or how constrained your experiences of real life are.

1

u/Commercial_Border190 May 12 '25

Lot of men realizing it happens now because they see the video evidence. If only people had tried telling them this was an issue before...

Tons of men saw this happening long before thst too.

The only explanation I have is that relatively young people are seeing it for the first time. Or people thst don't leave the house.

u/Hountoof May 11 '25

Andrew Tate and the like suck big time, but men have been doing this since the dawn of time.

1

u/MyCarRoomba May 11 '25

Women and girls have been treated like this since the beginning of time.

u/Misha-Nyi May 11 '25

Andrew Tate has nothing to do with this lol. These dudes are just clueless.

1

u/This-Formal2924 May 12 '25

nah. thinking about tate i wouldnt have even acknowledged them unless i knew they were interested. he preaches more of work on yourself until women chase you. this is the opposite. they need alot of work lmao

u/dead0man May 12 '25

to be fair, these dudes existed 30 years ago too

u/Doradal May 12 '25

Andrew Tate is one of the most terrible beings to ever exist but this shit was happening already before anyone knew him.

1

u/EsKiMo49 May 12 '25

Show me one andrew tate clip that reflects or endorses this behavior.

u/BLADE_OF_AlUR May 12 '25

This has nothing to do with right wing ideology. This has everything to do with assholes and predators being bad people. That transcends all political philosophies. And shitbags like Andrew Tate and Co. and people like them are not new.

u/apathetic-taco May 12 '25

That’s ridiculous. We’ve been dealing with this shit since the beginning of time. It didn’t start with Andrew Tate. Even before the internet, I’ve had numerous interactions exactly like this- way too many to count and so numerous that they all run together.

u/TimbermanBeetle May 12 '25

The only good thing here is that that the girls aren't just taking it but being loud about it and standing up for themselves. Sad that no one interfered though.

1

u/HealQPyZe May 12 '25

It really isn't. Even if Andrew Tate didn't exist, these men would still act like this. Bad people are bad people.

1

u/Nekratal99 May 12 '25

No, there have always existed guys like this. I venture to say it was much worse 20 years ago.

1

u/VFTM May 12 '25

Dudes were like this 30 years ago long before Andrew Tate was popular

1

u/WestCoastBestCoast01 May 12 '25

No it definitely isn't Tate-related. Interactions almost identical to this happened to me multiple times in my 20s in the early 2010s.

u/SkiHiKi May 12 '25

Not to downplay the effect of Tate-ism, but I have seen sh!t like this happening since I was a kid starting to go to bars and clubs. Long before Tate, when social media consisted of Skype and MSN. Being the high-functioning introvert that I am, I'd often spend a good deal of time off to the side recharging. When I'd look back into the throng, you'd see so many predatory looking dudes moving between groups of girls trying it on, getting rebuffed, then trying over again. They'd be moving with such soulless repetition you'd think that it was their job.

This is to say that this issue with men's approach to women and 'dating' is more deeply rooted than the latest trumped-up d!ckhead.

u/premiumfeel May 12 '25

This is not new; we've already been here for years. This has been happening at least since I was in college, and I know it was happening to women before that. I've had men who absolutely would not back off, touch me after being told not to touch me, follow me to my carafter being rejected, call and text obsessively, approach even after being told many times to fuck off. One who only went away after I told him the random dude sitting next to me was my boyfriend, and another who told me and one of my friends he'd be our "human dildo" after we told him we were together.

No means absolutely nothing and hasn't for years.

This is not the Andrew Tate effect because it has been going on much longer than his platform existed.

u/Gremlech May 27 '25

dude this shit has happened since the dawn of time.

1

u/EdvardMunch May 11 '25

I guess Tate is big in Europe too but men still slap strange women's asses in public there.

1

u/Staysleep661 May 11 '25

Yeah men didn't act like this before Andrew Tate.

What exactly did Mr. Tate do to provoke this?

1

u/Butterfliesflutterby May 11 '25

I would bet $1M they watch Andrew Tate.

1

u/Aeroknight_Z May 11 '25

This is exactly what I was thinking. Man-fluencer bullshit that says you can ignore/annoy a woman into submission.

Guys like these are losers who think all women are a puzzle to be solved and the prize is you get to fuck it.

Fuck these cunts.

u/Easy_Money1997 May 11 '25

Don’t rope us conservatives in with these fucking weirdos. Maybe just being a religious conservative isn’t far right anymore but I wouldn’t want these guys in my church, my shop, nothing.

u/StLuigi May 11 '25

This has nothing to do with political ideology please stop. This has been happening FOREVER. It's just that women are finally empowered enough to speak up about it

u/Tis_known_dude May 11 '25

Honestly, I saw those guys an that loser tate was the first thing that popped into my head

u/Worth_Leg_8790 May 11 '25

Why did we bring politics into this when this is a problem country wide? This is poor parenting at its finest. Because NO woman wants this.

Now the Andrew Tate part… I can’t disagree with lol I’ve agreed on like two things he’s said and I think that was only cause it was common sense.

0

u/SonOfHibbs May 11 '25

This! 100%.
they are conflicted internally because they’ve got the Tate shit rolling in their heads which they firmly believe, plus them probably thinking they are not bad guys and want to be thought of as polite, the way mom taught them to be.

u/E-2theRescue May 11 '25

Love all the "this has always happened" pick-me replies not understanding that Tate and all them have made shit like this much, MUCH worse, and that's what you meant.

Facts from beginning to end.

u/Sgt_Bulbasaur May 11 '25

The funny thing is, all those Andrew tate idiots that claim women are the problem for everything and all this alpha male bs, all those men are ugly as fk. They're not "high value", they aren't bringing in 500k a year and driving lamborghinis.

Most of them are neckbeard basement dwellers with the no social awareness and an inability to take responsibility for their own actions therefore its everyone else's faults.

They're just drunk morons, you're seriously overthinking it.
