Let’s analyse Andrew Tate’s text Game, shall we?

I came across these screenshots on a Daily Mail article and it goes without saying they are authentic or they would not have been published. Had they been fake, the paper would face a substantial legal penalty in court. The paper would have done their due diligence on the veracity and source. I’m not advocating for the overall reliability and trustworthiness of MSM by any means, but in this case they appear 100% legit. If they are fake, he’ll sue, but I’m guessing he won’t.

Taken in their entirety, it’s hard not to conclude that “Top G” is acting here like a needy drunken beta would do. We can imagine him messaging his one lead he fell in love with after one date with an outpouring of sickly-needy-overly-emotional-bile, before resorting to hate-fuel and messaging her in the fashion as if he saw her on a date with another man the night she cancelled on him because “she has a headache”. The texts show clear signs that he’s incongruent, manipulative, emotionally abusive, and controlling. Not only this, but he’s way too deeply invested and has lost all self-control at times.

Analysis of his love-bombing and over-reactiveness

• The messages are patently aggressive, demeaning, and threatening. Look at how weird this is: “You back talk too much whore so I beat you,” or “I will hit you today,” and “I want to beat the fuck out of you“. These are explicitly violent threats. He’s playing the big man online and virtue signalling his high moral certitude, but threatening a woman with violence away from the public eye. This is the real Tate starting to stand up.
• Manipulation venting: He uses a mix of blame-shifting (“You have an attitude because you’re not enough”) and gaslighting (“I’m punishing you for your past behaviors”). Classic gaslighting – blaming her for his violent threats and chucking his toys out of the pram.
• Control and insecurity: his texts are designed to reinforce the power hierarchy. By demanding gratitude (“You should be thankful“) and threatening violence if his expectations aren’t met, Tate is attempting to control his birds behavior and emotional state. Again, not optimal. Weak, needy, overly-invested and frankly toxic.

Is his text game optional? Erm.

• Tate’s texting style might be effective in the short-term for achieving compliance but im guessing this comes from that innate place of self-loathing he has for himself – given most of the women he’s dated are the money seeking skanks him and his brother have been banging and parading as a skill-set. The girls responses, such as “why do u want to beat me” and “whats the point in having a kid,” – I mean, are these really the topics a high value man would discuss over text? Moreover, why would a woman put up with this (hint. She’s on the payroll).
• And theres a reason for that, as these guys have made their living from banging club dross and ewhores all their lives. It’s a Next Skank,  philosophy. But his mask slips a lot here. Behind the facade of advising guys how to live one way, he personally lives it the other way.
• Narc Traits: Telling the girl she should be grateful to be in his presence is a classic female-style narcissistic tactic he uses to inflate his own importance while diminishing hers. It’s all fine for the craic, but if you have to shout it through grouted teeth – you’re coming from a place of low self worth. The guy comes across as a freak in these exchanges.
• His language choice using high school slurs like “whore,” and “bitch” with the threats of violence are nigh on impossible to justify. This isn’t “text game” in the traditional sense of playful or flirtatious texting – it’s just oddball behaviour. Low self esteem, highly reactive, zero ability to control his emotions.

Tate v BroodingSea text game

• Good text game is quite simple to describe but much less to do. Usually it combines charm, humor, confidence and creativity. It’s about building attraction and connection through some silly carry on, genuine interest, and emotional intelligence.
• So is Andrew Tate any good at moderating his emotions and discussing contentious relationship topics as a mature, self assured man? No. Andrew Tate is evidently not. He’s a fraud. His approach is a textbook example of abusive communication, relying on fear, shame, and threats to manipulate his bird.
• Zero plus points or game at all. It’s a pretty typical display of control and cruelty that prioritises his ego as he parrots his same dogshit top-g bro science to a woman half his size. 

In this second screenshot, we see a different side of him and it’s instantly embarrassing to me. Totally inconsistent and incongruent with the shit he preaches online or the image he pushes for himself. Ok, Broody – don’t jump the gun just yet. I shouldn’t conclude before I make the argument so let’s analyse it a bit more…

Is it needy and sickly?

• Poetry: The poem is called”Pookie Poem,” it uses flowery language like “Across the seas, across the skies, / Two pookies live with loving ties,” and “Yet both hearts dance in shared delight.” He also uses pet names like “pookiepumpkinprincess,”. Fuck this. I can’t do it. It’s revolting. It’s performative and made up, used a zillion times by other men. It’s a Christmas cracker pet name. Turns my stomach.
• Mood swings: flips between hot and cold. This is reflected in the messages: one moment he’s sending a heartfelt poem at 3:01 PM, before being a cunt at 9:52 AM, only to revert to a pet name later. Schitzoid as fuck. Weird!

Is Tate displaying originality or cooky-cutter regurgitation?

• No, he’s not original in any of his male-female advice. As I said above, its performative affection: “pookiepumpkinprincess” can NEVER be seen as original or meaningful.
• His texting style is very oddball. It’s a mixture of reactive and unoriginal. It’s overly sentimental and cloying: it’s saccharine and insincere. “One’s dawn is the other’s night, / Yet both hearts dance in shared delight” and the nickname “pookiepumpkinprincess” are, to me, toe curlers. He sent these not as a mocky jest, but as heart felt. It’s putrid. Just what IS Andrew Tate??
• Will the real Andrew Tate please stand up?: His try-hard romantic tone feels out of synch when contrasted with the abusive messages from the previous screenshot. He’s very misaligned. Hollow in sweetness. Clichéd in his originality. Incongruous in his tone. Manipulative and fake.

Effectiveness of His Text Game

• It’s evidently a long-term manipulation scam and clearly part a broader strategy to maintain control of the women he dates (mostly dollar seeking semi-pros and bit-part Insta Thots). By alternating between love and coldness, Tate creates an emotional rollercoaster which brings highs but terrible lows. This is a symptom not of his “bad game” – but of his view of his inner-self what he sees in the mirror – behind the social media facade.
• Tate’s approach is superficial and rote. It’s not healthy text game and is compromised of emotional swings or a hidden agenda to simply control his bird.
• To learn about decent text game, read my book.

Broodies conclusion

Complete loser. A facade. Public presentation v hidden reality. Those of us who knew always knew it. Complete at the level of a weak inner-man, major self-esteem issues and is behaviourally a bit of a train wreck.

Verdict: beta fraud.
