What made Big a Catch?


he was wealthy, attractive (played but at least an average looking actor) and, we were led to believe, intelligent and funny.

i mean, what more would he need to be to be considered a catch by you? sure, he was ambivalent about committing to carrie but that's because he was out of her league, like he wasn't sure if she was the one the way she was sure about him. which merely reinforces the fact that he was, in fact, a catch.

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


Played by my freshman college crush Blair Underwood! It's actually not out of his own span of interest - I recognize he was playing his part. One of his college girls was a Miranda.

It is entirely plausible that the doctor would have been "obsessed" with her for a short-term, fast-burn fling, especially if they lived in the same building. The doctor struck me as a player anyway: very insincere and too practiced with the romantic gestures and rhetoric. That would never have been long-term, and the doctor (in his head) never expected more than a fling.

And the man who Miranda ends up with is exactly the type of man someone like her would realistically attract. There was nothing unrealistic about Miranda's dating prospects (except that there were too many: no way she would have had time to date so much as a single while building her career).

Volume aside, I think all the women attracted reasonable prospects for them EXCEPT Carrie: there is no way guys like Big, Aleksandr, and a few others would be interested in a low quality prospect like homely, childish, spendthrift, neurotic, clownishly dressed Carrie.


Agree completely. Carrie was okay in the beginning but became more and more annoying and insufferable. No way a person like Big would end up with a Carrie; he would end up with a Natasha. Carrie was ugly, needy, and immature.

I could see someone like Carrie ending up with the Russian. He was old and crusty and not shallow enough to go after someone who jwas just a pretty young thing; he and Carrie were both creative types and moody. Carrie f** up that relationship.

Agreed that Smith is by far the catch of the show, hands down


I forgot about him- Yes, he was the best by far. Gorgeous and kind and didn't seem to have a big ego.

Loved him. Alexsandr too. Hated the others. Whiny wimps.

Inability to commit, traded her in for a younger model, jerked her around every time she was seeing another man, cheated on his wife, left her at the altar, the list goes on and on. I think the ones saying he's a catch actually mean he had money.

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.

Big was the only male I found attractive/intriguing on the show. He was an interesting character. He was unpredictable, and you never really knew what would happen with him.

"Everyone knows it." haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa okay, sure. Not sure who the everyone is you're referring to. Bitter much?

Why did you have to go and ruin this post? Can we get back to talking about SATC?

I feel like I'd end up in a five year relationship with Berger that would start off amazing and end up killing me inside. Oh wait I did that. Married someone more like Harry; better choice.

One night stand? That's a tough one. So many good options!
