Q&A - Thoughts On Andrew Tate, Finasteride, Relationships, Making Money + Travelling, Taking Risks

[@RKOWNEDU]

Mike is one of the only “influencers” that has genuinely worked his ass off and earned his success. Respect the humility as well.

[@ernestodelaespriella481]

Very cool to hear about your values with the Tate comment. As a young man, its much more interesting to hear you speak about your values. That brings so much more value than the gym and lifestyle videos. These are great videos to hook us in, but I believe you bring so much to the table when you talk about what you value and how you behave as high value man.

Early days but Uncle Mike's alcohol video has made me quit the stuff, no drink for 7 days and already feel way better. Been watching since the early London days. Remember that "Hardest decision I've made" video when he was sitting by a tree in a park or whatever and hit so hard - now absolutely flying at life. Top man.

[@soilgrasswaterair]

How come the view is that it would be selfish not to have children? I mean if we think of it from the reality of why people have children: they want to be loved unconditionally, want to teach a child about life, want to continue the family bloodline, want to experience what it’s like to parent. Not ever have anyone said ”I need to have kids so a child can have the opportunity to experience my stellar parenting that I know I have within me”. The whole parenting dream thing on the other hand is very selfish considering it’s 100% ”me-centered”. No one becomes a parent because they long for nights changing diapers, changing sheets because the child wet their bed, dealing with a child that has a strong will and whose favourite word is ”no”. Why does the world need your child? Betty and Bob down the street have 6 kids so we won’t die out anyway as a species (for those whose argument always is we need to make babies it’s why we exist as humans). Nice view on some with infertility🙃 The last thing! ”I want someone to take care of me when I’m old, that’s why I have kids”. This is said by society in large too ”if you don’t have kids who will take care of you when you’re old”. In my teens I worked at a care home for elders and so many of the old people had been sh*t parents, placing crazy demands on their kids and ”joked” with their kids in a way that made them develop poor mental health. When the adult children finally visited, I noticed that all of them were watching their clocks in hopes of enough time had passed so they could leave again. I will never understand why not having children is considered to be more selfish than having children. The most warm, geneous, caring and non-selfish people I’ve ever met throughout my life is without a doubt those without children. Some people are not into the norm thng and a repeat of their own childhood by becoming parents. Anywho, I have a uni. law assigment to finish! Interesting video even though I agreed with very few things. I’ll always defend people’s right to express their opinion though as long as it’s not oppressive, then it’s an issue with the person’s childhood psychology that they never tended to properly. / Scandinavian

Really find it interesting that u do not see/mention anything wrong with at least some of Andrews views, particularly about women. Calling out bs does not mean that u can't simalteneosly acknowledge the good traits..... Freedom of speech/expression comes with a great deal of responsibility.

[@clareeeeee1]

Your confidence is very inspiring Mike. I definitely share the same hope that when things don't work out it will pass and life does better. I hustled really hard for many years, everyone questioned my choices but they made sense to me and now I live a life completely on my own terms, its awesome. Entrepreneurs like yourself keep me motivated to keep pushing further so thank you. I also have to agree with what you said about Tate getting men to get up and do something. I'm not a fan of his but I HATE the "victim" mentality and like Tate, I believe a lot of depression could be solved if people exercised and hustled instead of feeling sorry for themselves. As a somewhat successful & intelligent women, it makes it hard to date men because most of them sit around feeling sorry for themselves because we live in this hyper feminine woke society.

I’m sorry Mike, but I completely disagree with your points on Andrew Tate. You are right to have your opinion but the people who talk about him only because of his rhetoric are willfully ignoring the serious things he's actually done and under investigation for, they rarely if ever bring that up when defending his right to free speech because it completely destroys the argument. The man has footage of serious assault and is under investigation for trafficking women. I think I’ll pass on having his ‘advice’ on how to live my life.

[@inabitdogshit]

Yep. This is true. But I would go further and say that the things he has actually said (and continues to say, even in his 'apology video' are problematic, offensive, inaccurate and completely insincere. His words alone (let alone the actions you rightly bring up) are enough to dismiss him as out of hand as any kind of useful presence.

[@Renzoluis99]

Mike: The problem with Tate, is, even though his woman-beating videos are with a woman who was supposedly participating consensually, it is NOT a good look for KZbin or Instagram. Kids use these platforms. You and I may be adults, but every day, new, young people are just starting to use the internet and letting a guy like Tate have a platform is detrimental to the next generation. Not only that, but grown men everywhere make excuses for Tate to justify everything he says and does. You can't see the problem with this because you're buds with Tate. Tate can donate $5k to a women's cause but that does not redeem him for all the misogynistic things he preaches. In addition to this, Tate's mentality really only appeals to the lowest denominator of men. One of his most recent IG posts before it was taken down went something like this (paraphrased): "I don't eat breakfast because in nature, morning time is when men go hunt. That's why I only have a cigarette and a coffee for breakfast." His post was several long paragraphs explaining this. When I read it, I thought I lost a few brain cells. But guess what? His bro fans ate that nonsense up like he was the wisest man on our planet. Tate is a hero to men who are just plain dumb. I am not surprised that you are a fan of his, Mike. You are both exactly the same, except you hide it better. But let me ask you, if your buddy for instance, Mattdoesfitness has a video of him beating his wife (consensually), don't you think it would be appropriate for KZbin and IG to ban him? Let's also pretend that men across the board are defending his right to beat his wife. What would you think then? A person like that should not have a platform. We do not need people like that for young people to look up to and we actually don't need grown men to look up to men like that either. You can't beat a woman and donate a few grand to a women's cause and call it even.

[@wowerman]

Good stuff Mike. I have same point of view. To become better version of yourself and have all type of success in life you need to kick your ass.
