TAXI DRIVER AND THE RAGE OF THE INCEL by Stanley Yang. Travis Bickle makes the shape of a gun with his bloody hand, puts his finger to his head, and pulls the trigger. His face is not contorted but relaxed, as if he has achieved a kind of release, something close to an orgasm (01:42:47-01:43:11). Having just murdered three men in a brothel, Travis seems to have purged himself of an obsession—but what has he been released from? Martin Scorsese’s 1976 psychological thriller Taxi Driver, which climaxes with this scene, portrays the tragedy of an alienated man, a veteran who has been rejected by a woman and lives alone in a bleak and heedless New York City. In today’s America, though, both the alienated man and the culture that oppresses him and fuels his rage have taken on new forms and meanings, some of them more frightening and dangerous than before. |

The Cat Assassin beat me to it lol.Elaborate
You essentially upped your VALUE in her eyes by showing her that, if she wants you, she has to at times do things that you like to do. You are SOMETHING after all. You are NOT FREE. If she wants to hang with you, it's going to cost her something — time, effort, money.
