Why did she go out with him in the first place?

Didn't she know he was a Vietnam veteran before the shootout? Women are usually attracted to guys on that knowledge alone and Travis undoubtedly killed people in war.

He was fairly goodlooking and confident enough to approach her. Also seemed a bit edgy

Because going out on a date doesn't equal having a relationship. People used to date each other just as an excuse to get out of the house and have some fun, not to fill time before you fuck when you get bored again. Nowadays, women equate dating with relationships and guys with social deficiencies are totally cut off from engagement with the opposite sex that could actually help them to improve their weaknesses.
Yes, you could ask out an 8/10 qt who might have a boyfriend she wouldn't have been fucking at the time either. A relationship became exclusive when you were having sex or seriously considering engagement. She'd accept because you might have been introduced by a friend or she might see you as interesting and someone to get to know.
Dating has changed a lot in recent years. Even the (softcore) porn theater depicted was actually a place to take a date, just really unclassy and not too safe given the loner perverts also seated.

i enjoyed this glimpse into boomer world

how many dates before you started "going steady" with your gal?

He's right. I was there and this society is very unrecognizable as evidenced by the fact a movie like this would never be made today--let alone nominated for Best Picture. People were way more laid back and not as superficial. I miss it alot.

Nowadays women equate talking to them with harassment.

The theater in Taxi Driver was softcore porn? Like no penetration shots?

Why did he take her to a porn film

he's autistic literally

because that never happened. The ending is a fantasy he conjures up while bleeding to death from the shootout

It's true, semi-attractive autists can come across as brooding and mysterious at first until you realize their quietness is just due to the inability to function socially. It happens to me all the time.

Correct. A lot of European movies with nudity and storyline got screened in them. Nobody usually masturbated there either, except in XXX theaters that were usually just peep shows. (Why would they sell popcorn and cola at a place where you're just there to jack off?)
Couples would go to get horny or maybe happen to catch some kino. They were still very seedy places just like the whole of New York was until based Rudy cleaned the place up.

It does unnerve me that they now think asking for a date is tantamount to asking for a relationship. I blame the overlap of casual sex into casual dating. There was casual dating which you could even do in a big group of friends, then there was serious dating which amounted to courting. Sex might go on, but it wasn't something you wore on your sleeve because then you're putting pressure on other people to stoop to your level.

We got engaged after about five months. Didn't have sex until our wedding night but we did our share of non-penetrative fooling around.
Personally, I think blue-balls/-ovaries are a key part of ensuring a lasting bond with your partner. You shouldn't have sex with someone you're dating unless you're positive you will eventually break up with them, then you're just having stupid fun.

Nope. If you know she's damaged goods and not wife material, you really can't do worse to her by being another notch on her bedpost. Just don't catch anything off her, paternity most of all.
There's also the best option of breaking things off without sex, if you can stand to. The just-friends meme originated from those casual dating situations when a social circle paired off and had fun doing activities together and generally not being serious until you and a partner really hit it off.

She didn't like good little boys and wanted a WEREWOLF

incel favorite movie
Taxi Driver is more relevant now than it was back in the 70s
It predicted crazy white men going on a rampage due to sexual frustration, also explores porn addiction of white men and consequences of it.
It predicted white women fucking niggers left and right (the scorsese scene), and white men being very mad about it.

That's why, Yea Forums loves Taxi Driver so much. That's why they identify with him. Travis, is in fact, an embodiment of an average white boi that browses Yea Forums. An Incel archetype, that don't know how to act around women. A guy that dreams of "dealing with rampant degeneracy" while being a hypocrite that participates in the degeneracy, by watching pornography. Not to mention his obsession with saving an underage prostitute, a typical pedo incel white knight scenario.

pleb take, don't ever post here again.

the reddit take

I finally watched this yesterday. Was quite good, held my attention all the way through (though I watched the first 20some minutes the night before.)

Because he's seen as a hero and not a deranged lunatic.
