Dear all,

I am involved in a research project that is looking at the influence of Andrew Tate on masculinity and I would appreciate a few minutes of your time to share your thoughts on this subject via this anonymous survey:

Thanks in advance for your time.

Nobody is remotely interested in Andrew Tate .Could you not find a proper job .

He's a kunt...plain and simple.

Can't say that I've even heard of the guy tbh

join the club. thought he was a character out of emmerdale farm.

Nah hes Lyles mate.

sweet.

Could you do a project on the influence of Raj Singh upon Hartlepool, it's football club and it's fanbase instead?

We could give you lots of first person knowledge and assist in helping you tease out conclusions. I don't normally like to speak on behalf of others - but can confidently say that we'd all be more than happy to help

Thanks

Anyone with a teenage son will know who he is. He's an attention seeking narcissist and a horrible k-nt. Anyone with a daughter should be particularly worried about his influence.

He's a bell-end.

Unfortunately he is what happens when the extreme left, radical feminism, university academics and wokery steal the centre ground.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction...

I hope I'm not speaking out of line - but I'd be happy to chip in with the Darlo point of view as well.

Singh has previous.

Surely not? That would be so out of character

A nobody of any consequence…….elevated by trash media sensationalism to titivate the chattering classes and be a role model for aspiring knuckle draggers…but on the other hand….there is no other option ….just a pathetic sign of the times.

I wouldn’t say 10 million followers makes him inconsequential, especially given his well documented influence of 18-35 year olds in particular.

Hitler had lot more followers, mostly excitable idiots like his clientele….numbers prove nothing.
The elephant in the room as always with these things is the media…even iHitler’s time….I ‘m not asking for the media to be controlled but to control themselves, why make role models out of cranks…?

whats all this about role models anyway. why cannot people just think for themselves and be individuals and not copies of anybody. Only person i have ever copied was as a 13 year old and that was norman oakleys hair style only because he had a strong resemblance to me when i was young.

I dunno, when it comes to role models and thinking for ourselves, there’s plenty of posts on this forum that smack of group think and are basically parroting stuff found online - just look at the number of separate threads that are essentially about the same thing. None of us are immune to outside influences (obviously, doesn’t really need saying.)
That’s not having a go at anyone, just how it is.

hope its not a case of group think but more of the fact that posters agree on issues who live miles apart and have never met. we actually might agree with any outside influence but they are not a role model but something that just happens. then there is another group of modern think who actually put themselves out as influences and anyone who changes there minds and character because of these people really have a problem to me.

Thoughtful reply Accy. I think this is probably the point of the research being done (which some unfairly dismissed imo!) To what extent do views seep into society and become norms, whether someone is looking for a role model or not. Young lads want to fit in, as we all did, and they come to have views that echo stuff like Tate, perhaps without even looking at his stuff.
The echo chamber/group think stuff applies to all sorts of issues found under the umbrella term of popularism as well.

Nigel Farage has been condemned for saying Andrew Tate is an “important voice for men”.

The Reform UK leader claimed the online influencer had raised awareness of “men becoming feminine” and stood up for their ability to “be a bloke”. Tate has been facing charges since December 2022 of rape, human Nigel Farage has been condemned for saying Andrew Tate is an “important voice for men”.

It seems easily influenced people do support him.

Reform said they would stop the boats, their answer, stop them in the channel and send them back to France, what happens when France turn them round and send them back ?
I can’t see a responsible seaman turn a rubber dinghy round full of people.

The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) obligates all ships to assist persons in danger at sea, including those who may be in distress. This duty applies regardless of nationality, and all ships are expected to render assistance if they can do so without endangering their own ship, crew, or passengers. Furthermore, coastal states have a responsibility to promote effective search and rescue services and cooperate with neighboring states for this purpose.

Men becoming feminine is also banded about all the time. People are just people and they’d get on with their lives if people like Farage don’t stick their noses in. It’s very simple - don’t be weird with women.
I wonder what Farage has to say about Tate’s rape charges, multiple cases of strangulation, violence, human trafficking and money laundering? Farage knows how to pick them.

It's funny, but probably the last person I would profile as "being a bloke" is Nigel Farage. Unless occasionally being photographed having a pint behind the bar in a pub is all it takes.

Many thanks to those who have completed the survey - https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/ ... ate-effect

The only thing I wanted to fit in as a teenager was Debbie Harry's minge.

Sadly I only managed to access the sweaty box of Fat Leanne from Peterlee.

That's quality Kenny- sure she was grateful- if that's any consolation!

what actually is being a bloke or be one of the lads. always felt its based on how loud you are, how many swear words you put in a sentance wrote or spoken and the number of pints you can neck in a session. know i,m a bloke every day i have a shower and thats enough for me.

Last shout to see if anyone can help me out with the survey.

Being a bloke is generally regarded as you say Accy….basically matey blokes generally loud gobshites…not a ‘class thing’.
