Him being a black hole of need, just constantly devouring everything in his path with his like, feel sorry for me, feel sorry for me.

Every conversation is about him and his emotions.

Every conversation is about his failure.

And you are not allowed to exist as your own person because you're eclipsed by his neediness.

Okay.

So Don Draper is a perfect example because he is someone who I think because he is such a cipher and he sort of refuses to live in the past for the first five or six seasons.

I won't spoil a lot.

It does.

It does.

But he does attract this personality type, right?

Like Megan and some of the women that he dates in between seasons three and seasons five are attracted to the – I'm watching it right now.

That's why –

They're attracted to this sort of

very traditional masculinity where he is like i feel nothing but they know that there is something underneath the surface right they want to crack that shell a lot of the women that he dates are like open up to me tell me what's wrong with you tell me how i can help you and he's like no and so because he is not putting on the performance of like i need you to take care of me i need you to comfort me i need you to like he comes off as rather stoic yeah instead yeah

Yeah, he's like, I don't need you to do this for me because I – he's operating under the illusion that he's like a self-sufficient machine, which obviously no human is, right?

His life only runs because he has women supporting him, literally.

Yeah.

Not financially, but, you know, running his life.

All the little minutia of his life.

But he doesn't need that element of comfort because he's saying, I don't live in the past.
