Carrie Bradshaw was not good looking enough for her dating life

Upon further reflection, Carrie, as she is portrayed on the show, is an example of a woman who makes the most of what she has. Yes, objectively she is not very attractive and has an unconventional face shape. But she has a thin petite frame that she has honed through exercise and diet. Look at how muscular and beautiful her legs are and how sculpted her abs are. Average women do NOT look like this!

She then is incredibly well groomed and put together. Her hair and makeup is always done to enhance her facial features. She is always overdressed or dressed up in a way that is unique, quirky and with the intention of displaying all her body. She can't walk in a room without people looking at her due to the strange, cute or quirky outfits she wears.

Clothes. She exclusively wears designer clothes and shoes. She dresses up like she is THE prize. So much of seduction and beauty is in how to present yourself. She is wearing sky high expensive shoes, tight little designer dresses and walking around with a coy flirtatious smile.

Confidence. A lot has been written about Carrie's main character syndrome. But you know, she prances around in her expensive shoes acting like a prize who deserves the best men. This is not a shrinking wall flower. She has the confidence and sensual allure even a much more physically beautiful character like Charlotte does not. In face, we see that Charlotte has a harder time dating than Carrie, despite her objectively good looks. She is too prissy and too uptight and boring and frequently gets dumped.

Bedroom. By the way she carries herself and how many men she's slept with, she must be good in bed! She is fun, flirty and cute. Full of personality. Petite and quirky. Many men would be putty at her feet!

Lol

As a Southern girl, this makes me laugh. Wearing makeup and dressing well is only standout up North. Elsewhere it's commonplace.

It's a TV show, not real life. Charlotte had a "hard time" dating only because the writers room despised gorgeous WASPs like her.

Flawed logic. If Carrie was such an amazing bedfellow, perhaps she would have had a high-status man marry her 10 plus years prior. The more logical conclusion is she's simply a drunken trainwreck used and led on by a series of men for easy sex with no intention of 'buying the cow' so to speak (marrying her). A lengthy sex life doesn't guarantee you're good at sex, but it does almost always mean STDs, baggage, substance abuse, and mental issues.

You are such a weirdo. Isn't it time for you to start another thread asking if eating breakfast is low class?

By the way, we see nothing to suggest Carrie WANTED to get married any earlier than she did. She seemed to be enjoying her life quite a bit.

That may be true. I can agree that someone like Charlotte, classically beautiful, "well bred" and wealthy, would easily find an eligible man to settle down with. BUT, the fact remains that in the story, Charlotte, despite her objective physical beauty, wealth and status, was single into her thirties and kept getting dumped by a parade of eligible men. She must have some serious personality flaws to end up like this. In the context of the show, it is displayed over and over again that she is too uptight, prissy and judgmental. There is NOTHING about her that is "fun". What do you think Charlotte talks about on a date? Men seem to sleep with her for her beauty and dump her as soon as her boring uptightness is revealed.

Carrie did not want to get married for the sake of getting married. She had no desire for children or to move to the suburbs and have 2 babies. She lived a rich and fulfilling life writing, partying and bedding handsome men.
In fact she even turned down Aiden twice and he was willing to offer her all of that.

Charlotte would have married by no later than age 26 or 27, would have 2 or 3 babies on her own by age 30 or so (not adopted), and would have never been friends with someone like Carrie in the first place.

Samantha would be fake nice to someone like Carrie, i.e. professional network, but wouldn't actually befriend her and spend so much time with her.

Not adopted? Because people like Charlotte never have fertility problems? Lol

Charlotte was a Connecticut blue blood conservative sorority girl at her liberal arts college. Women in that orbit marry in their mid and late 20s, period, when their beauty is peak and fertility is high (duh). And also, being single and still doing the "hookup culture" thing into your late 20s, let late mid 30s, is disgusting and sad.

Women have fertility problems when you run around with drunken immature trainwrecks like Carrie from age 22 to 35. You've lost over 95% of your eggs by that age. Charlotte turned 36 years old in Season 5. She married Harry in Season 6, thus she was 36 to 38 years old? At that age it's adoption and IVF.

Someone sounds jealous and out of touch.

Carrie Bradshaw with her beautiful outfits and toned physique and personality would certainly turn heads in DC.

This thread makes me think of how people criticized Lena Dunham's looks tirelessly when Girls was airing. It like people are outraged when someone is successful without being a perfect 10 in the looks department.

A show about four friends who marry their college boyfriend at 26 then immediately have kids would be BORING.

Lena Dunham is unequivocally unattractive. To note that is essentially like noting cancer is bad. It's not misogynistic, it's just a fact.

She would turn heads anywhere! Yeah she's unusual looking - but she's also stunning.

This was her in LA Story, back in the early 90s - where her whole role was to be someone Steve Martin couldn't resist

White Southern girl style is a zero. It’s so styleless that it doesn’t matter whether your flowered dress is by Saloni or Strawberry. If you’re a WOC, its different, but don’t kid yourself. Go on and add that fourth layer of spackle to enhance that beauty, though.

Ok but so what? Ugly people do have relationships and sex, sometimes with people who are much better looking than they are. It wasn't just that people criticize their looks it's that they insist people can't find them attractive (see also, various Pete Davidson threads)

+1 insisting that no one could possibly find them attractive or want to eff them in the face of lots of evidence that in fact plenty of people in fact do both

SJP is unattractive but this thread is getting a little weird now. She is NOT her character. I can’t tell who people are talking about anymore. The character and the actress are not the same. For the person accusing the writers of giving bad storylines to the WASP, wasn’t this a book? Did the characters change much from the book?

PP I happen to find both Davidson and Parker to be striking people. I don't think Dunham is bad looking either, especially during her Girls days. For the record I am pretty dumpy and plain, definitely overweight and married to a guy who is tall and good looking

Hi, I am moving to the deep south. Can you give me some tips? I'm thin and like to were designer dresses. But I don't dye my hair or polish my nails. I wear makeup daily. HHI ~1M/annual. What do I need to do to look well put together and not stand out at a non-southerner? Looking to fit in and have a nice social life.

SJP has REALLY strong features that made her sort of jolie-laide when she was younger. As she ages, and naturally loses some of the fat in her face, she looks witchy.
