I can't believe there is a new thread on this, reiterating exactly the same tired points.

Yeah, the "Carrie is not good looking enough for her dating life" thread droned on endlessly.

I will repeat what I said on that thread. A killer body and great charisma will make a woman attractive to plenty. A cooler, calmer, more boring beauty like Natasha or Charlotte will probably appeal to the rest.

Yea except people like Big are money obsessed and would never actually marry someone like Carrie who brings charisma but low income and expensive taste. He would’ve just lead her on forever

Huh? She was a local minor celebrity, had a weekly column, and a successful book deal by the time they got together in the finale. You're acting like she was just a waffle house waitress or something.

Sorry how much do you think a weekly column would have paid well. And there were story lines on the show about how little money she had/paid. Also Sex and the City was based on Candace Bushnell’s column that was later made into an anthology. Carrie Bradshaw was based on CB (initially in the column so her parents didn’t know they were reading about her sex life). Big is based on her relationship with Ron Galotti (who she did not end up with) The earlier seasons were better because they were more realistic and different but over time as Darren Starr took more creative control the show it started getting predictable and cliched. The marriage to Big is a huge part of that and the distance from the source material is why the reboot is donkey doo.

I'll say the character was nuanced. Flawed but relatable and often endearing which made it a great show, especially for those of us single at the time. Any married smugs watching the show can opt right out.

SJP is like scarlett o'hara. You just need to replace the Irish features with Jewish- same result. Not conventional but certainly arresting:

"Scarlet O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin-that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.”

This. She was nuanced and imperfect. I don't get the dislike, the substack posts about how "In a world of Carries, be a Natasha" (mind you, Natasha had about 15min of screen time over the course of the franchise), etc.

Yes, she was neurotic. She could be self-absorbed. She was definitely a jerk to cheat on her bf with her married ex. But few women are perfect.

It's like the meme "Y'all will ask for more complex characters but you couldn't even handle her" and then a pic of Carrie in her little beret lmfao.

No wonder she was an in demand bachelorette!

Charlotte was the one I always thought was the most beautiful. Her hair was so glossy and thick, and her face was beautiful. Her body was...fine.

I would prefer to have an OK body and a beautiful face with straight, glossy hair, like Charlotte, rather than a beautiful body and an ugly face, like Carrie. And this was a debate girls in my dorm had when SATC was airing.

I do think that many men would prioritize the gorgeous, tiny body and find this enough to make the woman "hot." However, I also remember that most guys I knew said Charlotte was the most attractive when we watched SATC in college.
