I want to know, what was it about El Tamach's content that first attracted JuliΓ‘n?
He switches to Spanish.
Depression, loneliness, bad habits.
He started sharing people's experiences.
And it was like he wanted to show them they're not alone.
There's a community out there for them.
Julian joined a WhatsApp group run by El Temach's followers, Compas de Hierro.
The advice and support, he says, was really useful.
The main things I have learned from El Temach, or the thing that's really made a difference, is that it's made me feel more sure of myself.
I was very withdrawn.
I didn't have many friends.
And I have really developed socially and personally.
He's helped me to be brave, try things.
Julian began doing better at school, taking part in debates, making friends and talking to girls.
Though, he admits, not all El Tamach's pick-up tips worked.
But as we talk, I start to hear echoes of El Tamach's more controversial, sexist views.
I just want to talk about some of the things that he would say online that maybe some people would find controversial or hard to understand.
So what about with the idea of another piece of dating advice, I guess, that Altamuch gives his followers to maybe avoid single mothers?
Is that something that you also agree with?
And what about his views on liberal women?
