"It's best to give the devil its due. If you have to choose between being kind of flabby and unhealthy and resentful... hating women because all of them reject you all the time... and the future looks pretty damn gloomy... Then you see [Tate], who's tough and hyper-masculine in a manner that's almost a parody and wealthy and famous and apparently has women at his disposal with a fair bit of stress on the idea of disposal, you'd think, 'I'd rather be him than me.'"

Joe Rogan also chimed in by backing Jordan Peterson's assessment as to why Andrew Tate seems to click with his audience.

During the aforementioned episode, Rogan mentioned that Peterson was accurate and believes that Tate's audience associates women with their own personal traumatic experiences:

"You think about the number of men that are incels. The thing about men, also, if they get rejected a lot, they associate women with pain and they get angry at those women because those women caused them pain. Like, it's just very simple equation and that's how you get a woman hater." [1:37:27]
