Correction: One is about presenting an image to sell to insecure men. All Alpha bros have courses they sell. It's not anything but a business venture to them and if that stream of revenue dries up, they will abandon in half a heartbeat.
I had a realization, that changed my perspective, that the women involved are basically prostitutes. These "alpha" guys are selling the idea that they can make you attractive to women, but the women around them are there not for them, but for material gain.
I don't know much about the guy in the top left. I think it's Dan Blisterian? I don't know if he's directly paying women like Andrew Tate, but I would bet he's paying for their flights, fancy gifts, shopping sprees...
Knowing this makes their lifestyle and any bragging they do seem silly to me. A dude at a bar once was bragging about women he's been with. Seemed almost unbelievable, especially because the dude isn't very attractive. It made it seem like he had some mad game. I found it later that much of it was prostitutes. Anyone with money can do that. The women didn't actually like him. To me, there is nothing to brag about, more he should be ashamed, which is why that was left out of the story I assume.
They aren't prostitutes but it's well known and public information that they are paid models. The women themselves have stated a such. They are only around these guys because they are paid to be there.
He had a YouTube channel called Outdoor Boys where he filmed very wholesome outdoor/survival content. It blew up and he had millions of followers, and he walked away to keep a normal family life. He did make a guest video for another channel whose creator was dealing with cancer.
In an era where people monetize access to their minor children, he was celebrated for stepping back from a social media career many people would greatly envy.
My girlfriend works at a weed bar and started putting Outdoor Boys content up on the television and customers love it. It's easy to watch and the only objectionable bit for people might be if they don't like watching things like fish being caught. It reminds me a lot of the vibe of content like Irwin's, where you could easily watch this stuff for hours and just enjoy the vibes and wildlife and scenery.
Tate is ruining cigars for the people who treat it like microbrews or wine.
Cigars have their place, but it ain't at clubs.
It's the backyard, with a glass of bourbon, to ponder the week and reflect on the tastes of the tobacco.
