The amount of disdain Dr Grande manages to get in to the two words 'tik toc' is admirable

The way Dr. Grande says “Tiktok” makes it sound like the most ridiculous thing ever 😂

It's all fun and games until Dr Grande is reviewing and analysing you.

As a Romanian woman, the fact that he moved to Romania to take advantage of the corruption here and of the harmful mentalities regarding the abuse of women disgusts me to no end. Great analysis, very insightful and entertaining!

“…Hustler’s University” which is not an accredited institution or an institution at all. 🤣🤣🤣 Another perfect sound bite, Dr Grande.

The concept of a "tik tok alpha male" seems like an oxymoron.

“Poorly designed tattoos, shirtless photographs, alcohol, wearing sunglasses indoors, tropical locations ..” had me dying laughing 🤣 😂

Nice shirt, Dr. Grande! Thank you for your exposure of these guys. I’ve always felt that they are trying to make up for other shortcomings.

Flawless.

“Weight lifting, Ferrari driving alcoholics, who never call women back after the first date.” Gold in the form of words.

These men calling themselves “alpha” reminds me of a paraphrase of the Margaret Thatcher quote: “Power is like being a lady… if you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”

"Narrow and distorted view of masculinity." Spot on analysis, Dr. Grande.

[daseins]

Not very often you get a nod to “A Christmas Story”. I appreciate your professional and witty quips.

[dr.foxysocks]

anyone who has to state they are "alpha" and act like this are compensating for a lack of self esteem.

[Rambutan.]

I'm confused, I didn't think Andrew Tate and Dan Bilzerian etc were what was considered to be alpha males?
To me they seem insecure about themselves, and are too weak to face their emotions but would rather be immature and hurt other people to feel powerful.

I always thought that no one could take Andrew Tate seriously, but I had to have a conversation w/ my friend's 14 year old son that "no, you really don't want to look up to this guy. He literally moved to Romania so he could get away with sex trafficking..." and, MAN, was that conversation depressing.

For a long time I thought he was a comedian. A fictional character created as a send up of a sexist man. I was so wrong. I cant beleive hes actually like this.

This analysis section took me right back to high school when we read “the sun also rises” in English class… Performative masculinity at its finest.

There is a subset of young men out there that are mentally, emotionally and spiritually lost and are desperate for a leader to show them a way out of the existential rut that their life has become. Guys like Tate prey on these insecurities and occasionally will hit upon a grain of truth; all the more to convince these downtrodden youngsters that they have no other option to become content.
In fairness, I can say from personal experience that society at large tends to not only push aside certain men of a certain age/income/mindset, but will also deceptively saddle them with being responsible for socio-political ills and events (society needs scapegoats, and young men fit virtually every 'bad guy' role convenient to any given situation). Inevitably this causes a victim mentality in young men and leads to depression and a host of other problems.
I do wish this issue could have more serious consideration, but there seems to be a dismissive attitude regarding it.

Oh my, I've never seen someone pointing with such precision and foundation Tate's flaws (which is interesting considering how many people know he is an asshole), and Dr. Grande does it with so much grace and yet unnerved pase, it really breaks this "super villain" out of the fantasy constructed around him. Like Dr. Grande says: he is just taking advantage from narcissistic impressionable young men and constructing his wealth out of it.
