So Andrew Tate tweeted — again.
Another philosophical gem from the cyber pulpit of Alpha Male Twitter, boldly declaring that “all men are polygamous.” Revolutionary stuff, right? Except… not really. We’ve heard this before. Loudly. Repeatedly. Exhaustingly. Usually sandwiched between his Bugatti references and recycled Roman Empire analogies.
And sure, some of you might feel compelled to defend him. “But Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines!” Ah yes. King Solomon. The man whose heart was so divided by his many women that he fell into idolatry and spiritual ruin. Is that the role model y’all really wanna bring to the group chat?
Let’s break this down — with history, and a few facts (you know, those things that still matter?).
First of All: Polygamy ≠ Default Male Nature
To say all men are polygamous is like saying all women are born to be brides — sounds romantic, but it’s mostly recycled Pinterest quotes and pressure. Some men want one woman. Period. And not because they’re weak or brainwashed — but because commitment, peace, and purpose matter more than chaos and conquest.
Science disagrees with the universal claim, too. While human beings may have the capacity for polygamy, we also have a brain. With a prefrontal cortex. That makes decisions. Like fidelity (Barash & Lipton, 2001).
What They Won’t Say About King Solomon
He was wise, yes. He also ended up lost, spiritually and emotionally. You can’t use his 1,000-woman harem as your romantic ideal without also acknowledging that it was the very thing that drew his heart away from God (1 Kings 11:1–4, The Bible — might’ve heard of it).
So if you wanna follow Solomon’s love life, just know it comes with idolatry, exhaustion, and the occasional public downfall.
Let’s Talk About Self-Control
Polygamy is not a biological reflex. It’s a choice. And often, it’s a choice rooted in a lack of self-control, not abundance.
The same men preaching polygamy also post videos of women “submitting” while they cheat with “options.” This isn’t tradition. It’s glorified thirst with Wi-Fi access.
And What About Andrew Tate?
Let’s be honest. The man is not the villain, but he is a cautionary tale. A master marketer? Absolutely. A voice for lost young men? Possibly. A prophet of truth? Calm down.
He’s building a following on the foundation of male pain, mixing some real-world truths with dangerous advice. That’s how cults start — not revolutions.
And yes, women fall for it too. Because it’s wrapped in money, masculinity, and TikTok virality. But if you’ve gotta constantly justify your behavior with “it’s my nature,” then maybe it’s not nature — maybe it’s narcissism.
We Deserve Better Role Models
There are real men out here who choose peace over chaos, love over lust, and growth over clout. But their voices are quiet because the algorithm prefers noise. Don’t let Twitter quotes and podcast clips raise you.
In Conclusion: Choose Better
Polygamy isn’t destiny. It’s an option — just like monogamy. The difference is that monogamy takes character.
So the next time someone brings up King Solomon to justify wild behavior, remind them:
"Even the wisest man in the Bible lost his mind over women. Don’t be proud — be careful."
