About

Big Fan Man and They Want Duke Dennis, also known as I Feel Like These Girls, They Want Duke Dennis. They Don't Want Me, refers to a livestream clip of YouTuber FITXFEARLESS talking to one of his male fans named Abdi who's shirtless with unkempt, curly hair. He opens the call by saying, "Big fan, man," and later says, "These girls, they want Duke Dennis. They don't want me." FITXFEARLESS asks the man, "What's going on with your hair?" Abdi was looking for dating advice from FITXFEARLESS because he'd never been with a woman. Many people thought that the viral video was cringe and called Abdi an incel.
