[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When is this show going to be more realistic and talk about gaining weight, tired, lonely, and having to start wearing depends?   [/quote]

My parents are both 75 and they don’t wear Depends. My dad weighs what he always has, and my mom is in better shape than she was at 45. Why do you think all older adults have those issues?[/quote]

+1, not everyone gains weight and gets incontinent in their 50s and 60s, this is a weird assumption.

I do actually think the show has done a good job of showing these women evolving in terms of how they spend their time, though. We rarely see them out at bars, for instance. We see them at home, at work or school, running errands, and occasionally getting together with one another for brunch or dinner. We see them grappling with how aging impacts each of them, from Miranda going gray and then deciding to dye again, to Charlotte being thrilled to be on a MILF list, to Carrie's sad jokes about being a widow and what that says about her self-image.

I don't think this is every woman's experience in their 50s or 60s, but the original SATC wasn't every woman's 30s either. The show has always focused pretty exclusively on the lives of wealth or upwardly mobile, well educated women within a very specific social set in NYC. It's narrow. But that's a big part of its charm, too.[/quote]
