Why Andrew Tate attracts lonely men: Insights from Jordan Peterson
Speaking to Joe Rogan, Peterson explained that many of Tate’s followers are men who struggle with rejection, loneliness and lack of direction. Peterson described these individuals’ thinking as “loose, unhealthy and resentful… hate women because women always reject you…and the future looks quite bleak.” In contrast, Tate presents images of ultra-masculinity, wealth, fame, and apparent sexual success. Peterson pointed out that for many in this position, their own situation and Tate’s lifestyle choices are clear: “You’d think, ‘I want to be him more than me’.”
Jordan Peterson emphasized that Andrew Tate’s appeal is rooted in his perception that he embodies strength and agency, even if his persona is a “almost a parody” of masculinity. The image of Tate is amplified in charm for those who feel helpless or invisible.
