[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m rewatching Sex and the City series and I’m stuck by how unattractive Carrie Bradshaw is. She isn’t beautiful by any stretch of the imagination and the men she dates are completely above her league.

I don't care as much about her looks compared to what an awful friend she was.

Carrie was the definition of a user & a taker -- even Sarah Jessica Parker said that. 
Charlotte was a giver & Carrie was a taker.

Carrie either made everything about her; or she was about to make everything about her.

Remember her hissy fit when she felt entitled to Charlotte's engagement ring?
She thought Charlotte should sell it and give her the money, because she was so financially & fiscally irresponsible.

She put on this phoney act of "faux" concern in regards to Charlotte still wearing her engagement ring... [i]SHE[/i] thought it wasn't healthy to do (she's the last one who should be dispensing advice on what's healthy).
She didn't care about Charlotte's health -- she wanted that damn ring. 
So she manipulated & shamed her into selling it.

Carrie needed to buy her apartment or she had to get out, but of course she had NO savings, NO retirement, NO collateral, NO steady source of income (writing her columns were per diem,  and she was paid by the word) & she had abysmal credit.

The only thing of value that she had was her overly abundant & ostentatious shoe collection. Look, I love shoes as much as the next woman, but I don't recklessly live above my means and make irresponsible choices & purchases with money I don't have... especially rent money.

She was never, ever there for anyone else, especially her closest 3 friends, and even the few times she pretended to actually be there for them, she'd always find a way to bring the attention back to her (ala Miranda and the bagels).

Carrie never did a single thing that didn't benefit her... she was never selfless.

Her looks were the least of her attributes she was bankrupt in.

Yes, I realize she was a fictional character a TV show was based around... it's a show that I loved too!

I actually didn't realize how morally bankrupt Carrie was, up until I rewatched the entire series again about 10 years after it ended (and I was 10 years wiser).

I really didn't mean to go into a whole dissertation about Carrie's faults, however I just don't like it when I see people putting her on a pedestal, like she was some Joan of Arc.

At a certain point, the writers merged Carrie the character's personality with SJP's real one, and the latter took over as the show progressed.  Like we're seeing on AJLT right now, with Miranda becoming more similar to Cynthia Nixon than to the character we remember from the OG SATC run.[/quote]
