Self-professed misogynist influencer Andrew Tate believes reading is for people with “slow brains,” according to a recent resurfaced clip of him on X. In the video, Tate is seen bragging that his brain is too advanced for reading and that he’d rather be in constant chaos.

“I’m too smart to read. I know you’re sitting there going ‘smart people read’... no. I need action. I need constant chaos in my life to feel content. I need to be driving a supercar and f—ing fighting, f—ing a bunch of hoes and champagne… going crazy.”

All of his examples of his "intelligence" have nothing to do with brain power:

Driving a supercar.

Fighting (and losing badly).

Fucking hoes and champagne (think he might be fucking his drinks?.. grammar is for idiots apparently).

Going crazy...?

Dude is a true genius, and all the hits to the head have only made him more powerful.

Maybe he just needs a few more shots to the head. You know. To slow his brain a little.

Hmm…so this guy likes cars, drinking alcohol and having sex with women? Wow, that’s so novel! Wait until 90% of the adult male population hears about these things, they’ll be shocked they never tried them. 🙄
