Do you think Mr. Big is a catch?

I'd watch reruns of SATC if there was a way to block out all scenes with Miranda (and Steve). Nothing makes my skin crawl more than her.

Also wasn't a big fan of when Sam got cancer. Made a fun show depressing, a downer. And the writers who made Charlotte marry an ugly Jewish guy were prob projecting.

Girls like Char are snapped up by at the longest 28. There's no way she'd be single OR hang out with trashy women like Carrie and crew.

Charlotte was a KKG at Smith, she would have met some filthy rich handsome Harvard boy on a ski trip and he would have proposed to her at graduation. He'd end up at a white shoe law firm or an investment banker. They'd live in CT by age 28.

I agree- that's funny, I also thought Charlotte was way too upper class and pretty to be in that group. For a while, sure- but she would be snapped up quite quickly- not all this drama (though it is a tv show). As for big, I dated a Mr Big in many ways- mid-wealthy, very attractive, suave, upper class (not that I am not but as my friend said he was one of "the beautiful people"). Watching SATC - which wasn't that far off from when we stopped dating- hit home. We also did go back and forth- became just friends - it lasted a few years of going in and out of each others lives.

Sorry- my point was that I am pretty sure I am not the only one who could relate to the big relationship.

Maybe Charlotte's backstory was that she was in a long term relationship in her twenties that ended when she entered her 30s for whatever reason. She then hung out with these awful single women and she got caught up in their life style and it didn't help much with her love life. Like...a 30something woman most likely will not find a husband partying at a club at 2.0 with Carrie Bradshaw.

Nah. Even the most upper class women are now living with men for a number of years in the city now. You have to live with a guy for a while and audition to be his wife.

But Charlotte would have graduated from college in 1989 or 90? Maybe they'd live in the city as her future husband attended law school at Columbia. Her future husband would be a law firm associate by age 25-26, and they'd be in the suburbs with first kid by 28-29.

And likely he would cheat on her before she was 35 and they'd divorce. Not all women rush to get married at 25 because there's something to be said for growing up and for waiting to know how to recognize a healthy relationship.

You don't sound like a superficial person at all. I bet your friends think you're a delight.

Smith was the best catch of them all. Humble, attractive, respectful of Samantha's need for independence, didnt let the acting success go to his head.

Steve was too blue collar for my taste.

Harry was nice but NMS

Trey was WASP-y trash

Richard was wealthy trash

Berger was too much work for too little return

Agree on all counts.

SJP agrees with you about Berger (at the 1:40 mark)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Skipper!!!!

Steve seem to be Skipper version 2.0 at times.

At the beginning sex and the city was realistic when it comes to Miranda's dating prospects, which would, of course, be dismal. By the end she seemed to live in a fantasy world where a gorgeous sexy doctor was obsessed with her. And meanwhile Charlotte had shifted from pulling all the hot wasp dudes at the yacht club to being stuck with HARRY.

I felt like some of the writers' wishful thinking was coming through by the last season

It was honestly not believable that someone with Char's good looks and commitment to marriage would have to settle for Harry.

Miranda would've realistically ended up with a skipper.

Carrie with a Burger type. Maybe a fellow neurotic self obsessed writer.

Charlotte didn't settle! That's the point! Every other Park Avenue Princess who marries a Trey has big issues.

Different poster here, but that was exactly my point as well. Charlotte got a good man.

But why couldn't they have given her a good man with good looks?

Because the writers were jealous and resentful of women like her who ACTUALLY had guys falling over themselves to date her. It's the same reason they gave Miranda that hot and completely implausible doctor who was obsessed with her... wishful thinking.

Oh please, this kind of stuff happens in real life all the time. I had a hot, handsome, wealthy, Ivy educated co-worker with incredibly plain wife and this is just one example just comes to mind. It's not like handsome rich guys only fall for beautiful women. Beautiful women fall for nice smart men who might not necessarily be 10 in the looks department.
