No way would Carrie have ever dated all those hot men. Maybe hook ups at the end of a long drunken night, but no way would they have ever wanted her.

That always bugged me. She had great hair and a hot little bod, but the rest of it...not so much.

So men looking for a hookup aren't interested in a hot little bod?

Well- the men she bagged were politicians, Mr big, men with $ (some "lower class" ones but those were very short lived).. and most of them including Big were superficial so yes, those men could have banged many other women why deal with an unattractive neurotic one for more than once?

Yes, men looking for a quick hookup are interested in a hot little bod. But just for sex. All these gorgeous men falling all over Carrie, seeking her out in restaurants when sober, would NEVER happen. And they all wanted to date her. HAH! She was the ugliest of the group.

The Miranda character was so realistic. I an Miranda. I know lots of Mirandas.

So funny you said this, because when I read DCUM, I totally picture a lot of posters as Mirandas!

Only during her earliest, man-suit wearing, androgynous days. In the later years she softens up a lot.

+1. Know tons of smart, beautiful women who have a tough time dating in DC and NYC.

I'm still grouchy that she Carrie ended up with Big.

This is interesting. Earlier on the how you see how Charlotte has no trouble dating and attracting WASPY Ivy League trust fund type guys. But the relationship never lasts because while she is more mature than Carrie, Charlotte has her own hangups. She is incredibly prissy, very superficial and incredibly uptight about sex. I think she dumps one guy because they liked different china patterns and another because she didn’t want to give BJs.

After a while the supply of waspy well bred guys runs out and she gets desperate.By the time she meets Harry she has shed all of her nonsense and superficial requirements and is ready for mature love.

Her relationship with Harry was the single best part of that show.

You really have no clue as to the socio-economic, educational, and personal factors that go into when women and men get married?

It may even stun you to know that many women marrying very young are not particularly attractive, wealthy, etc.

I think if you re-read OP's post post, she listed more than her looks as the determinant. And you also might want to dial back the tone. It's just a silly musing about a tv show.

"Conservative" and "family-oriented" are pretty much meaningless. Liberals are family oriented too...

Liberals have far fewer children, so I think the point has merit.

I bet it’s more a function of education level.

Yes, but Harry still had a ton of his own money. I would have preferred if she had fallen for someone like Harry who wasn’t loaded.
