Serious Is Patrick Bateman a Chad?

[Allday]

I don’t think so.

He was incredibly insecure and sculpted his life in order to meet the standards of high society.
I always thought of PB being the answer to the question what if an incel applied blackpill to themselves?

Agreed. Stop posting in my threads, go whine about white people somewhere.

By looks standards, he's a high level chad.

However, by the way he's portrayed in the movie, he would have been played better by an uglier actor, given how insecure, easily insulted, and looks obsessed he is. He can only manage to get laid using his money/status, as girls don't seem to find him appealing until his wealth comes into play.

Chadlite bordering on chad I'd say. Christian bale looked better when he bulked up

He was a chad, his looks were chadlite but his money and status carried him.

He wasn't insecure about being in high class. He wanted to be the best and unique. He was tired of the high class cause he was just the same as every one else, their was no individuality in it. JFL did you even watch the movie or were you just stuck admiring Patrick Bateman kek.

He was insecure about how he was percieved, did you even pay attention to his interactions with Paul Allen? The fact that he was obsessed with showing hookers the fact that he was in Paul Allen's apartment, that he worked on Wall Street?

He becomes disillusioned to his position gradually but for the majority of the movie he's obsessed with being seen as the best in his field of influence. As a character he's more a personification of the repressed sociopathy in late 80s yuppie culture, which by its nature is defined by it's reaction to pop culture, social standards, and the insecurity imbued by them.

He's a chad, but majorly insecure

He wanted to convince the hookers he was Paul Allen so they could say they saw him recently. Because if remember correctly he had already murdered him and the investigation was also underway.

I do agree with you on the second part, he wanted to be the best. But the movie isn't about the repressed sociopathic ways of the 80s yuppie culture, it could have a been a part but not the majority. It was about the lack of individuality in that high end yuppie society. Pay attention to the names in the movie, throughout the film they are constantly misnaming each other because they are all similar. They all wear the same clothes, eat in the same places, etc. They were all just caricatures of the ideal yuppie lacking any individual substance.

True, that does come up a lot, especially in the business card joke. Tbh it never occurred to be he was lying to the hookers to give them a false alabi. In the end that theme of bland mimickry comes up again, as Bateman's lawyer still didn't get that Allen was dead, and that he had had lunch with someone else.
