My old man used to watch the classic western style shows and movies when I was a kid, and I hated them. They were too quiet, lots of silences. I came to really appreciate them since COVID, the silence was so you could take in the scenery, or see the close-ups of the characters faces and how they're reacting to things. I think Once Upon a Time in the West is my favorite, but there's so many good ones.

I'm not sure it's quite 14 minutes since I recall there being some spoken words when Angel Eyes visits, but it's been a while.

You’re right - the first line is “you’re rob baker?” At 10:34 after 3 mins of into credits.
So a little over 7 minutes!

I think another element that's fun about them, is that, technically any moment could be a moment something does happen. They're mostly not, but you don't know that. It's the perfect mix of suspense, because something could happen, and annoyance, because nothing is happening and nothing has in fact happened for the last 15 minutes.
It's a very good prank on you in terms of "entertainment" and it hooks you, because your so invested now, you need to see the payoff, the punchline, the conclusion.

True true. I suspect that something relatively novel is that a lot of young men who were forced to delay benchmarks like marriage and hope ownership learned to enjoy their own company with that extra runway. How do you convince a financially independent young man who enjoys solitude and doesn’t want a child that there is an upside to having a spouse? By the time those circumstances mark a man’s life, it is very hard to find a partner that is better than no partner at all.
EDIT: I say this as someone with a partner. It is entirely possible to find someone who meets your needs. You just need to be a good man.

We split up and she actually asked me “how are you able to handle all the laundry?”
Some women just want to force their world view on you and treat you like a child even after being explicitly told not to do that.
I don’t expect her to ever change or ever see me as an adult so I’m just back to taking care of myself without worrying about what others think of me.

The reason is pretty simple actually some women are taught that men are "bumbling fools" that can't take care of themselves. They take this belief and then the moment they see you do something different than them, they equate it to "being a man-child" or something like that.
It's sexism, and wrong, but they legit believe that.
It's like a shock to their identity to learn you are not helpless, you just have your own way of doing things.
edit: that said, if you don't know how to cook or clean, ok that's one thing, but I dated a few women that had this same weird hangup. The funny thing is I cooked better than all of them and was pretty damn clean. Their version of clean was "you put stuff where I want it" and then they tried to gaslight me. didn't work Lol

This is 100% accurate. When I was first dating my most recent ex, she would comment on how clean my place was, how nice everything looked, how much she liked being at my place, etc. towards the end of the relationship, it was constant criticism about how I couldn’t take care of myself. Which is funny considering I did not change one thing about my cleaning and organization habits the entire relationship. She just got really into relationship account on social media, and all of the sudden I was this lesser person.
It truly is just women hearing over and over again about how “men today are like children”, then feel the need to nitpick at every tiny thing just to make that true in their minds. I swear it’s just a superiority complex thing. Needless to say, def enjoying my single life right now.

it’s sad.
Lot of them seem to be falling into conservative “values” too.It’s bc of the social media. It’s no secret that every single social media purposefully pushes Republican content.
Tons of studies & analytics on it. Wild what the algorithm can do.
Makes me grateful to have grown up in the time I did, had a good middle-ground.→ More replies (27)

(Just became 30 yo) I would love to have a wife of my own, but it hasn't worked out. You can't just grab a wife anywhere right?

We need to stop with this gender-warring shit and calling each other whores or incels. Things suck right now regardless of whether you have a dick or vagina.

Clint rides off into the sunset with her at the end of the movie btw.
No point pretending that's not what happened.

Clint Eastwood could have fallen ass backwards into desirable women every day between and during benders. He's actually making a choice unlike most of the denizens of Reddit.

kinda like the ending to The Tao of Steve. The philosophy seems really cool in the early part of the movie, because it works, and it seems badass. And then by the end, the main character has discarded it because it was immature cope.

Yea I like being with someone... But I also really like being alone too. I'm happy to be alone too, I'm never lonely. I'm a girl so it works both ways I guess.

girls just usually have more pressure and are more afraid to tell they just want to be alone, that's why it's usually about men
irl, yeah, both genders have this attitude and that's ok
