The manosphere is a decentralized, multifaceted digital culture movement comprising millions of individual men with diverse philosophies and competing ideas, rather than being led by a single figure like Andrew Tate; mainstream media's tendency to create a central figurehead is a form of media deception that oversimplifies complex social movements and allows for scapegoating while ignoring the real underlying issues facing modern men.

Andrew Tate Is Not the Head Of The Manosphere (The Media Deception)
Added:I think we should have 100 more Andrew Tates. Why why wouldn't you want more Andrew Tates giving that message?
>> I agree with you that we need more voices helping young men. I take issue with the packaging and the persona around it.
>> And what exactly are the Tate brothers accused of?
>> So, the new charges against Andrew Tate specifically include seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault, and 19 charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. Tristan's younger brother is facing one count of sexual assault, two counts of rape, and three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation. British prosecutors say that these allegations all relate to four additional complainants, so four alleged victims have come forward on top of other alleged victims, and the charges cover a period from July 2010 to August 2017 when the Tate brothers were living in London. So, that brings the total number of alleged victims in the UK case to seven, but all of the UK charges are all relating to the same investigation. It's just that more victims have come forward.
>> All righty. Wow, doesn't look good for the Tate boys, does it? You know, listen, if they're guilty, they're guilty. Uh I do not want to say yes or no to their problems. Uh the only thing I have a problem with is how the media has really portrayed Andrew Tate as the almost leader of the manosphere, you know?
Uh if you had watched most of the news coverage on this, it's always about Andrew Tate and manosphere, and these two things have been very interconnected. So, it seems like they're making a very concerted effort to put Andrew as almost the backbone of the manosphere. And that's the only thing I I have a problem with.
>> New York Post, manosphere influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate arrested by US >> British authorities are seeking the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate.
The prominent influencers in the so-called manosphere were arrested by federal marshals in Miami.
>> Right. Andrew has to have his his day in court. Whether, you know, it's daddy government coming after him, whether, you know, the the whole conspiracy theory, man, we could go down this road all we want. But in essence, [snorts] I just think we're beating a dead horse.
It's It's not something we can fight.
He's just going to have to go through the process. This is These are allegations that were made, you know, between 10 and 15 years ago, and it's not going away. I don't understand why it took so long for them to charge him, but apparently new allegations have come up. But we know how this [ __ ] works in the in the whole manosphere space, but we have to always understand that Andrew Tate is not the manosphere. He's one voice of men in the manosphere. The manosphere is a collection of men with many different voices. There is There are no leaders. They're just men who have voices. I am one of those men. But hey, that's not the discussion today because, my friends, it's time for the old man's random reviews.
>> The old man random review.
>> [music] >> Truth about life from an old man.
Yes, an old man.
>> [music] >> Yes, a collection of videos that you guys have sent me over the weeks, over the days. Well, these These ones came up a couple days ago. So, most of the stuff today is fresh stuff. Um lot of things that have been happening in the relationship space and, you know, women behaving badly, etc. So, I have to cover it. I have to cover it. And thank you guys, each and every one of you, for keep sending me this stuff so that I don't have to scour the internet to find out myself. All right. My friends, like this video and the way in. Subscribe if you haven't already. And of course, book a session with the old man if you need any help ever, ever. If you need a mentor, if you need a male's voice to help you navigate this crazy world that we're in, I'm here for you. So, that's it for Andrew. I I really can't say anything else about that. Here's a story that came up today. This blew my mind, but this shows you the problems that men have, right?
>> During the opening of Princess Polly, a woman allegedly tried to cut the line by accusing a man of sexual harassment, but other women quickly exposed her story and had her removed from the mall. A video showed a large crowd waiting outside the store. The woman appeared to move backward into a man standing behind her. She then raised her hand and loudly claimed that he had assaulted her.
However, several women nearby had seen what happened. They immediately defended the man saying the woman was the one who backed into him.
Some people were also recording, so the entire incident was caught on camera.
Viewers believe she may have made the accusation because she was impatient and wanted to remove the man from the line.
After other customers challenged her claim, she was forced to leave the area.
Many people said that without witnesses or recordings, the man could have been blamed, detained, or publicly labeled for something he did not do. Others said the incident also showed how women with bad intentions can damage trust for everyone else.
Many reasonable women may later be doubted or treated unfairly when they report real harassment because people remember false claims like this. Viewers argue that this does not only hurt the falsely accused person, it can also make life harder for genuine victims who need others to believe and support them. What do you think?
>> A lot of women just don't understand what men have to go through on a daily basis. So, this is another reason why I I just cannot blindly look at the Andrew Tate's case and other men who are being accused. I'm not saying I was going to say falsely accused, but the problem is so prevalent. You see a lot of women just just don't understand or they they ignore how prevalent this problem is in our society. Women all over the world are taking advantage of their privileged position. This is the problem that we having in our society. And this is why a lot of men are not approaching women.
This is why a lot of men have walked away, going their own way. They don't look at women in the gym anymore. They don't even want to see women in most public places. This is a prime example, and I am so happy to see all the women chime up and cut her down for this [ __ ] More and more of this has to happen either publicly or online. You ladies have to step up because it's only hurting each and every one of you. A lot of you are out there bawling, I can't find a man, no men want to approach me anymore. I can't This is the reason because most men are fearing their rights are going to be taken away from them. This man, if it was not recorded openly, he would have instantly been chastised, fired, blackballed, you name it. Men can be easily discarded, locked up, presumed guilty until he has to prove his innocence. That's why I have the the weak consent up, man. You guys look forward to the new upgraded version coming out hopefully in next couple of weeks. I'm just waiting on approval from the App Store right now, but I have upgraded it to be something else, man.
You you're going to see it. We've dropped a We dropped quite a bit of money in it and a lot of time to rebuild the whole thing. So, look forward to that coming forward because I'm here to protect men and it's for this exact reason and for those men who have been falsely accused.
Yes, that was another That was another point of view of it. And oh, I love how the woman just immediately freaking chimed up. Good on ladies out there.
Awesome.
>> [sighs] >> Yeah, another black woman celebrating her 50th birthday, but this is how she do it. This is what happens. You know what? Let Just You just watch.
>> Okay.
That's your birthday.
Happy birthday, Deb.
Oh, it's waiting to pay some of our [ __ ] bills, man.
>> 50 years old.
>> That's my queen. She made me.
Half of a hundred.
>> Yeah.
>> Hallelujah.
I don't have no grand doing I hear the song.
>> You can see her underwear through that thing. Not not a pair of spandex or nothing, just G-string underwear.
>> [sighs] >> You know, the the problem when these women reach these ages, right? And when that tension has literally dried up, this is them trying to freaking just claw themselves back into some sort of attention because it's a deficit. This is a grandmother.
>> [sighs and gasps] >> I you know, if I say anything else, uh it'll just sound too bad. I'm going to leave it right there, okay?
>> When a woman has been emotionally wounded, and especially the wound of abandonment and rejection, she learns that she needs to be desired in order to be seen. So, without realizing it, she turns her body into language.
>> In fact, she doesn't want sex. She wants approval.
>> The problem is that this doesn't create connection. It doesn't generate respect, and it doesn't build a healthy relationship. This generates consumption, and everything that is consumed is one day discarded.
Emotionally mature men don't connect with excessive exposure.
They connect with presence, security, conscious femininity. When a woman heals her wounds, she doesn't need to sell herself. She positions herself.
She discovers that she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. She just is.
Heal the emotion, change the behavior, align the image, and change the type of man who approaches.
>> And that is a fact. That is a fact. That is so well said. The women that have grown up with a massive amount of attention, that in itself is an addiction. The amount of dopamine a woman gets from that amount of attention, when she hits those ages when the attention is no longer there, then she goes to extremes. But, the young girls who have the body and who has the eyes on them at all time, they constantly have to put on less and less and show more of themselves [snorts] in order for them to feel that they're fulfilling and getting more of that dopamine. Because they figured, "Hey, if the skirt is this short and I get 2,000 views and a lot of attention, what happens if I make it this short and the bottom of my ass crack and my punani is showing, I will probably get 10,000 to a million views." And so, she keeps pushing the freaking barrier more and more. Because that dopamine, she needs that freaking high. That attention is what keeps driving them to take off more and more and more clothes.
And when she reaches those older years, it just gets embarrassing.
>> How much do you guys spend on your World Cup final ticket?
>> Combined, we spent 30, bro.
>> Okay, so is that 15 a piece?
>> 15 piece.
>> I'm going to file for bankruptcy after this.
>> I'm calling my credit card and I'm saying this was never me.
>> So you put it on a single credit card?
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> So who's paying who?
>> I have to pay him.
>> Yeah.
>> What's the interest rate on this credit card?
>> I don't even want to think about it.
>> What's your credit limit on this thing?
>> It's already maxed. After this, it's maxed.
>> They call you and be like, "Hey, man, you know, you can't do this."
>> They let me through. They let me through. I got lucky.
>> They're happy to collect 25% on 30 grand.
>> Exactly.
>> Wow. Okay, how much do you have in like checking right now?
>> Checking? I'm I'm net negative, brother.
I I've got no investments. I've got no savings. I've sacrificed everything for my life to be here today.
>> DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?
>> THIS IS THE KIND of obsessive behavior that should never be tolerated by any man. For you to go to one event, but in that time period, you're going to go broke because you needed to get an emotional high from a football game, shows that you have a deficit, my friends. A lot of you will try to justify by, "Oh, you only live once, blah blah blah." No, you don't live once. You continuously live. That's the point that you need to understand. You are continuously living. And if you just put everything into today for something useless and fleeting. Now, these two fools going to have to be paying for the same game, the same memory. They're going to have to put in a lot more blood, sweat, and tear just to pay off of this thing. So probably by the time they've finished paying it off, they will probably have paid almost double the amount of money for these this occasion. And that will restrict them from actually investing or building anything else. This This a sort of loser mentality that each and every one of you have to freaking ignore. They could have gotten the same damn high watching it on a big screen TV with a bunch of people in a room for $50 and and would have been just as happy because it was a shitty game anyway.
>> [laughter] >> But all I'm saying to you gentlemen is this is not the way to live. Don't ever live like this. I've never done this sort of [ __ ] Now, Africa is a very conservative country when it comes to respect and fatherhood, you know? But unfortunately, when you bring the kids to the UK, to the US, something trips in there, man, and a lot of African fathers, a lot of conservative fathers, have to deal with this sort of crap right here. This young boy comes to his friend's house and this was the interaction.
>> Hello.
>> [clears throat] >> Hello.
>> Hello.
I'm Godwin's friend. Can Godwin come out to play, please?
>> Oh, sorry. It's late already. He can't come out.
>> Wait, sorry. Who am I talking to?
>> Um this is Godwin's dad.
>> Oh, hello, mate.
>> Uh-uh.
What did you just say?
>> Hello, mate.
>> Hold on a second. I'm coming.
>> Okay.
>> Hello.
>> Hello.
>> Ah.
I thought I said you are Godwin's friend.
>> Yes.
>> And I told you I'm Godwin's daddy.
>> Yes.
>> So, what did you now say?
>> I said hello.
>> No, no, no. You said hello, mate.
>> Yes.
>> Do I look like your mate? Why would you talk to me like that?
>> That's how I talk to my family members.
>> I'm not your family member. Where are you from?
>> Nigeria.
You're from Nigeria. You're calling elderly person late.
No, you don't do like that. You don't do like that in Nigeria. Do you hear me?
I know we don't do like that. You are God's friend.
All right, don't worry. God will see you in school tomorrow.
About what? Did I touch you? Are you okay? Come here. Come here.
Come here.
I'm calling you now. Godwin, GODWIN.
GODWIN.
>> ME I WOULD HAVE gotten I wouldn't have gotten a whipping, but I would have gotten a serious disciplinary chat from my father if I had a friend like this.
Okay? He would have told me that boy will not be your friend. If I see him over this house again, you will pay the price for it. He's not allowed to come to this house and you are not allowed to be that boy's friend. That is the lesson I would have learned from that. Okay?
>> Father, would you rather have one fearful woman or five [ __ ] Me would I rather have five. Why? Tell me this, which one safer for carry? $100 bill or five $20 bills? Either way you still have a hundred, right? Yeah.
If me lose the $100 bill me broke, right? Yes. But if me lose one $20 bill me still have $80 left.
Aha.
>> I understood the logic. I [snorts] got the logic.
>> [laughter] >> I just again see too many young people quitting. You will end up alone. Um and that's okay, too, if that's a choice you make, but if it's something you want, then there's going to have to be a lot of compromise. There's two ways that you can approach it. So, one is called the soulmate mindset. When I meet the right person, it'll be so easy. Because we're soulmates, it'll be effortless.
And the other one is called the work-it-out mindset. If you're in a relationship, it will take work, and that's how you'll create this great relationship. And people in the with the work-it-out mindset have more successful relationships because when they hit that inevitable rough spot, they're ready for it. They don't say, "Well, you must not be my soulmate."
>> And this is the biggest problem. I was trying to explain this to a girl the other day. She was telling me, "Ah, I just can't find anybody. I've been on a lot of dates. Um and most of my relationships never get over a couple of months." And I asked her, "What do you think you're looking for? You're looking for somebody that meets you and matches you perfectly where it's almost like a glove?" And she said, "Yeah, what's wrong with that?" I said, "That's almost impossible. You're not going to find that. You'll never find that. Two people are not designed for each other. There's no such thing. There's compromise. You have to accept certain things that you don't like about the person. You have to accept certain things that you But if you like the majority of them, then accept that because you can always work on the things that you don't like about them. And what you don't assume is that that other person, usually that man, more than likely don't like a lot of [ __ ] about you, but he accepts you for that. But he's expected to accept you with your flaws. Do or you don't have any flaws? No, no, I have flaws. Okay, there There There's my point. Then you should pause right there and realize that if he's prepared to go through working through the flaws that you have, you should be able to do the same thing because there's no such thing as a perfect fit. You just need to get over yourself. And she goes, "Yeah, maybe you're right."
>> [laughter] >> I just couldn't go beyond that. But this is the problem that we have with most relationships. Most people are not prepared to work through people's flaws.
I've been married 23 years. I've been with the same woman for 23 years.
There's still things I don't freaking like about my wife. Yeah, and I know there's things she don't like about me.
But hey, they're not that big that hey, the bigger picture comes first. We don't look for perfection in each other.
>> Non-negotiables for you with dating or it look like no offense anyone is involved in that as long as the woman hasn't been involved in that adult industry. That's just one thing for me.
I just I'm not not into it.
>> Yeah, that's >> Yeah.
>> I pop Okay, yeah. Fair No, that's fair.
Fair.
>> I popped my balloon because I would like to disagree with what you said about the adult industry like >> fair enough. Yeah.
>> How does a woman's involvement in what she does for work have anything to do with you?
>> Look, it's just not something that I personally like. I would mean that's just my preference, you know, for instance if you didn't like something about me. At the end of the day, we have to like what each other what what each other do for for for work and as we are as people. So for me it's just not not something that I really align with.
>> Like you wouldn't say that about a lawyer. Like a lawyer spends the whole day talking to people. Like you wouldn't say that all their attention to people all day so they're not going to have enough time to give me attention.
>> These are the brains that men have to deal with. Someone who doesn't understand he doesn't want his woman to be a prostitute. And then try to compare it to a lawyer. A lawyer.
There's plenty of jobs that you spend time with people but they're not plugging you.
They're not filling you with their manly cheese. Okay? I don't do How do you even think that's a healthy comparison?
Cut the malarkey.
>> Cut the malarkey.
>> [laughter] >> But you're right. But this is I mean it's just mind-blowing how I how s- I don't know I don't know I I'm trying to use some polite words to freaking describe how shallow, ignorant, narcissistic. So So What what is it that women expect men to just accept from women? Just just anything anything we should do whatever the hell we want and you have to accept us for that. The answer is hell no.
Digital prostitution is unacceptable on many levels and should never be compared to a lawyer.
>> said a woman is don't tell her anything you think will upset her.
>> Mhm.
>> Just don't tell her. But then you get accused of lying and concealing. And so you can't trust men to tell the truth because you guys are smarter than women think you are. A woman is like tell me the truth and then you tell them a truth and they don't like that truth and they get really upset about that truth. And as a woman because we're motivated to not upset people, they actually think that if you know how upset I am about what's true for you, you will change what's true for you. They really think that. But you guys are smarter than that because it's been true for you for a long time and there were no problems until you told her.
>> [laughter] >> Yeah, there's a easy correlation. I told you, now there's a problem.
>> Now there's a problem. There was no problem before I was allowed loud about it. There's no problem at all. And really honest men just stop telling the truth because it's not worth it.
>> You see, especially most beautiful women, they were lied to most of their freaking lives. And so when a man comes along and just tells them the blatant truth about their behavior [snorts] or about some flaw in their looks or what they're wearing, etc., what they say, about how selfish they are, etc., it blows their mind and they just honestly look at that man as how horrible he is. But you can't blame the woman because men have been lying to her all her life to get to that juice box, to get access to her. Men lie, they tell her what she wants to hear. And when a woman have been lied to all her life, and then someone comes along and tells her the truth, that [ __ ] is shocking. And she'll never believe that that's the truth. And it's a hard thing for her to understand that that is the truth. I did a short about this a couple days ago actually for on a video I posted time ago. And somebody said, "You remember that song, 'Tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.'" I don't know the the person who sings it, but yeah, women just want you to lie to them, and hopefully that reality will become theirs and yours as well.
>> Are you romantic? [music] >> No.
Unfortunately. I don't do voice calls, I don't do video calls.
I don't do candlelit dinners. Yeah, I'm a functional partner.
>> What do you do?
>> We live.
I'm your dad and your brother and your best mate, and I tell you how you're getting fat now, you must gym.
And I want you to win, and I'm helping you with like script reading, you know?
And I criticize you and I help you where I can.
>> [music] >> And we're raising amazing kids.
And you can feel how much I love you.
>> I love flowers.
>> [music] >> For what? To feel it?
>> [singing] >> They died.
What are the flowers for?
>> I love flowers. [clears throat] >> [music] >> No, that's peer pressure from TV.
>> The brother's right. That's peer pressure from TV. These women don't like flowers. They like the idea that some man is many has been manipulated enough to to buy her flowers, but most women freaking take the flowers, they put them in a vase, and they never look at them again. And after a few times of getting them, the feeling isn't the same. I bought my wife flowers once, apparently. I don't even remember when it was, but she remembers it. She still have that flower crushed I think like 20 years later.
You know, she put them between the book leaves or something. I know she has it somewhere. She showed it to me about 5 years ago. She says, "Oh, you remember when you did this? You did it had them delivered to the office." I'm like, "No, I don't remember." I just asked her, "So, was I still trying to get it? Was this Was that still my trying time? I don't remember." She just said, "Ah, you're such an ass." And I laughed. She laughed and tried to hit me. And I ran. And that's my romantic time with my wife.
>> [laughter] [music] [music] >> See, why I'm just going to show you What I'm just showing you hopefully some ladies will see this that big guys or tall men really don't make a difference for your protection. A lot of short men are incredibly dangerous men.
Do you realize that you look at most of the Navy SEALs, they're not tall men.
Some of the most dangerous men in the world, Marines, they're not tall they're not tall men. They're built. They're shorter. They're average or even below average height, but incredibly dangerous. Mike Tyson is not tall. So, this idea that oh, I need a tall man to protect me. No, you don't. No, you don't. You need a dangerous man to protect you. You need a man that can fight to protect you. You need a man who understands conflict to protect you. But you don't need a tall man to protect you. If you want your offspring to be tall, then that's a different story, but you don't need a tall man to protect you.
>> You're allowed to spray a man with Raid if he's under 5'11".
That's [snorts] >> Call a man under 5'11" a roach. Wow, a a a roach. That is just wrong. Let's listen to the response.
>> Reply.
>> They can't keep getting away with this stuff.
>> Reply, they did it.
>> Yeah.
>> [laughter] >> Yeah.
>> Does this mean we can use elephant rifles on girls with more than 200 lb?
>> [laughter] >> Right.
>> Okay.
>> Someone replied to that, HERE WE GO.
>> [laughter] >> DAMN. HERE WE GO.
>> Raid on guys under 5 11.
>> Allowed to >> Wow.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah.
>> Women can just blatantly just put down a man because of his height, something that something he can't do anything about. But that doesn't mean a short man isn't dangerous.
>> Would you rather take a hug from me, a random stranger, or take the random dollar amount that's in my pocket?
>> Random dollar amount.
>> You get a $1 bill. Why'd you choose the dollar amount?
>> Why not? Money is money.
>> The dollar amount.
>> Dollar amount.
>> And then what would you do?
>> I'd have to say the same.
>> First dollar amount is a 20.
A five.
>> Okay.
>> A 10.
Why'd you choose the dollar amount?
>> I'm not a very like touchy-feely person.
>> And why'd you take the dollar amount?
>> On surface level, it's more valuable.
>> Yeah, surface level, it's more valuable, and I also don't know you, like >> [laughter] >> Like, I don't know, you could kill me.
>> I would definitely kill her with a hug.
>> I'd rather take a hug, bro.
>> Now why'd you choose the hug?
>> No, money comes and goes, but love is that thing that can be universal, it could be unconditional, it could be healing.
>> A hug's always good.
>> Hi.
>> Why'd you choose the hug?
>> I'm a nice loving person, bro. I love I'm all about love.
>> Friendship.
>> take the the little bro bro love real quick and call it cool, you know what I'm saying?
>> Tell me why you chose the bro love.
>> Bros forever, man. Dollars just last another day, that's it, man.
>> What >> And that's it. That That just shows you the difference between the sexes. In the Western world, my friends, these are the women we have to deal with. It's all about the Benjamins.
>> Order >> [music] >> for my friend Ron.
First, I vacuum seal the item.
Here we go.
I already made him a handwritten card, so that's all ready to go. Wrap it up in some tissue paper. You'll always get just a plain black bag.
All right, the shipping label's on and it's ready to go to the post office. For more information, check out my Instagram highlights. Bye.
>> I had enough of the internet for today.
Yeah. I had enough. I wonder how much that cost Ron.
>> [sighs] >> I can tell you, man.
Gentlemen, this I It's so easy for women to make money, right? I wonder which one of you men think that you can just take off your crusty underwear, put it in a bag bag vacuum seal it.
Just I can't even get through that sentence without laughing and having somebody pay money for it.
>> [laughter] >> God. [snorts] Oh.
Oh, on that note, my friends. Hey.
>> [laughter] >> Like this video on the way out. Book a session with the older man if you need any help, my friends. Of course, remember, go to Amazon, pick up one of my books, The Modern Man's Blueprint and The Modern Woman's Blueprint. Links are in the description of this video if you also want it in audio format. So, my friends, until tomorrow. Remember, that's right. I'll see you soon. Cheers.
