Clearly you missed some episodes.

Yes, at like age 35 to some gelded momma's boy Trey? That whole story arc was cringe, obviously motivated by writers set out to humiliate and settle scores WASP elites they were jealous of. How many episodes did that carry on for from beginning to end? Point is Charlotte wouldn't be on the dating market past mid 20s, she would have been long married to a boy she knew from prep school or college and had a few kids by the time the show began when the characters were in their early 30s (Sam was 40). The drop dead gorgeous blue blood can't find a husband until she's 35, then IVF issues, then WASP is a dud ... here's comes an ugly bald Jewish lawyer to save her.

You do know people haven't been marrying in their mid 20s for like.......decades now, right? This isn't some new phenomenon.

Gorgeous credentialed wasps like Charlotte marry and have children in their 20s. Only low stock trainwrecks are whoring around into their 30s because nobody will marry them. And Charlottes don’t marry random creepers they meet on the street (Trey) or convert to Judaism for creepy ugly divorce lawyers — they marry the hottest and richest guy they knew in boarding school or college. I’m sorry you’re too thick to see what really motivated this show’s writing.

The Jewish guy really loves Charlotte. He may not be handsome but people fall in love for qualities other than looks. I think Charlotte made some bad dating decisions. She may have needed therapy because she did not gravitate towards nice men only abusive ones that don't really love her. Making stupid general statements in you came up with in your teeny brain is cool but may not reflect this character's reality.

I understand the sentiment of the original poster. Charlottes, with their good breeding and looks usually marry early and marry well. However, every now and then, life throws even the best of us a curve ball. It is not unimaginable that Charlotte had bad luck with men. Maybe her college boyfriend broke up with her. She married a rich and hot WASP but he was impotent, etc.

Anyone saying someone like Charlotte would have been married by the time she was 25 a hot rich wasp need to remember something. She probably would have been, and most women like her probably are, but they would have stayed married to the impotent idiot.

THIS! I went back and watched and couldn't believe Carrie was ever considered a good friend of an "it girl" in our society. She was THE WORST friend and a pretty shitty girlfriend, too. Every single conversation she has in the series she always turns back around to talk about herself.

Did someone already post about how she demanded that Charlotte sell her engagement ring to lend Cqrrie the downpayment on her place? After - if I recall correctly - both Samantha and Miranda volunteered to lend her the money?

This episode was horrifying. From having to take her shoes off to the flippant "maybe Jennifer took them by mistake she was wearing sandals" (yes I've watched too many times) to her making the stupid "I'm registered to get married to myself" phone call. I thought it made the women on both sides just look like assholes.

Horrifying? How could it be horrifying when the guest star was Tatum Freaking O'Neal?!

Because she played a smug, vapid idiot. The faces she makes about taking off the shoes and saying she bought expensive shoes "before she had a real life" were just awful!

ANd her kids had stupid names

"this is entertaining" and "carrie wannabes"

I was in college when it wrapped up, and we got together to host Sopranos watch parties, and would watch SATC when it was on (as an afterthought). So we were the former. Of the later camp, those I know today are all on "quaranteams" and nonsense like that.

HAHA you're so right. And little Brayden and Maydison are in THE BEST pods.
