Sorta mgtow. Maybe insanely mgtow. Definitely a degenerate like me hanging out in bars and stuff. Old movies with him and the stereotypical wife with her rolling pin do give me a kick. Except jesus christ the broad beating you up with a rolling pin for smoking or being passed out or whatever. At least back then you could perhaps wake up out of your coma and wayne brady choke a bitch.

Look, while the 20s or 30s or whatever were a rough time, I'm not advocating abandon all hope ye who go mgtow But at the same time it's a very interesting lense to watch such movies. Another one that springs to mind is the guy that did all the thin man movies. But in this one he's a homeless New York guy.

I suppose my point is, while media of the past may not be entirely accurate, it certainly paints an interesting lens.
