Learning how to be a man: modern movies don't help

Says this article.

If you want to learn a bit of alpha game by video, old movies from the 1940s-1960s and retro imitations like Mad Men are better. They have not only tough guys but everymen with strong moral codes (Hank Fonda's and Jimmy Stewart's roles) and English toughness (stiff-upper-lip stoicism in adversity, something to learn to fake instead of melting down - hide your feelings publicly and take it like a man) like the calm, cool and collected colonel under fire.
