Date With This Girl or a Meeting With Andrew Tate?

About

Date With This Girl or a Meeting With Andrew Tate? also known as Wyd If You’re on a Date With This Girl But, refers to a phrasal template inspired by a viral tweet that compared a picture of a woman on a dinner date and a picture of Andrew Tate meeting with many men, asking the question "What are you doing if Tate calls you to a meeting but you’re already on a date with this chick?" The tweet's question read as absurd to many who then parodied it by offering other situations that might deter a man from continuing his date with the beautiful woman. Going forward, the memes on Twitter and elsewhere continued to use the same image of the woman on a date. The woman in the picture is Danish model Sille Staunstrup and it was posted to her Instagram account @sillestaunstrup in early 2022.

Origin

On July 16th, 2023, Andrew Tate posted a photo to Twitter^[1] of him sitting at the head of a dinner table with many men (shown below, left). In the caption, he posed a "would you rather" scenario, "An entire month travelling the world, all expenses paid. hotels, flights, restaurants etc." or "1 month on house arrest with the War Room soldiers. Sparring, training, fighting the Matrix." The tweet gained roughly 49,700 likes in nine days (shown below, right).

The photo and Tate's tweet^[1] gained parodies and memes in the days that followed, such as a tweet sent by Twitter^[2] user @robrousseau on July 16th, 2023, who claimed, "I'd rather do the first thing," gaining roughly 43,200 likes in nine days (shown below, left). Despite ironic usage, Tate fan accounts used the image earnestly to pose similar "would you rather" scenarios, such as Twitter^[3] user @TateNews_ on July 16th, who received roughly 16,700 likes in nine days (shown below, right).

On July 25th, 2023, Twitter^[4] user @ReachMorpheuss posted a tweet similar to the aforementioned one, asking, "What are you doing if Tate calls you to a meeting but you’re already on a date with this chick?" @ReachMorpheuss attached Tate's "war room" photo but also an image of a woman sitting at a restaurant dinner table, gaining roughly 11,900 likes in two days (shown below, left). The woman in the picture is Danish model Sille Staunstrup who posted the photo to Instagram^[5] on March 2nd, 2022, where it gained roughly 9,000 likes in one year (shown below, right).

Spread

After @ReachMorpheuss' tweet^[4] on July 25th, 2023, the "would you rather" scenario gained criticism due to users thinking that the date was obviously better than a meeting with Andrew Tate. For instance, on July 25th, Twitter^[6] user @NotJosephGarcia quote retweeted @ReachMorpheuss, posing a ridiculous, cartoon-level ploy, gaining roughly 15,900 likes in two days (shown below, left). On July 26th, Twitter^[7] user @skatie420 posed a humorous alternative in a QRT that received roughly 3,000 likes in one day (shown below, right).

During the same timeframe, users on Twitter started to make fun of the male "blue checks" replying to @ReachMorpheuss' tweet.^[4] For Instance, Twitter^[8] user @Brocklesnitch tweeted screenshots of some of the replies (examples shown below), writing, "Twitter is now a meeting place for the biggest collection of losers in history riting the most embarrassing tweets you’ve ever seen," gaining roughly 29,700 likes in one day.

Also during the same timeframe, meme creators started to use the photo of Sille Staunstrup in tweets separate from the original, posing satirical "would you rather" scenarios that might prompt one to leave from a date with her. For instance, the first-known tweet of this nature was posted by Twitter^[9] user @charleyonhere on July 26th, 2023, and referenced the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, gaining roughly 4,000 likes in one day (shown below, left). Soon after, Twitter^[10] user @lukeisamazing referenced Star Wars in the same format, gaining roughly 18,200 likes in less than a day (shown below, right).
