Sex Hags And The City?
The Fashion Time Magazine ^ | The Fashion Time Magazine

Posted on 06/25/2008 9:22:17 AM PDT by Mister Ghost

Just call me an agnostic when it comes to the fever and the fervor SATC inspires among many women around the world. I simply don’t understand it, don’t get it, and wouldn’t want to have sex in any city with any of those four women.

Ahhhh, but what do we straight men really know? We live by our double standards of wanting pretty women in the boudoir who can function as hyper-orgasmic frauleins and bump booty with the best of them, while on the outside, we like our women to be perky mom types, wholesome and sociable.

Oh I don’t know....Kristen Davis is pretty cute. The others do nothing for me.

Kim Cattrall was HOT back in the day.

She’s honestly not bad looking now, but her schtick isn’t age-appropriate at all.

and being able to have control over a major aspect of their femininity and sexuality, led to an uplifting experience for millions of females.

Somebody 'splain to me how watching a TV show gives "control over a major aspect of their femininity and sexuality" to anybody.

Kim Cattrall was OK in that movie Mannequin, but does nothing for me now.

Again, I don’t believe straight males are this show’s target audience.

A T.V. show written by gay men about four narcissistic, slutty, foul-mouthed, harridans who are obsessed with the topics of sex and fashion who just happen to talk and behave like narcissistic, foul-mouthed, slutty, gay men who are obsessed with sex and fashion?

Wow, I'm shocked.

“The film should have a Lesbian sub plot involving comely looking women engaging in an occasional lip lock.”

Since I’ve never watched one episode of “Sex and the City,” does this mean that heterosexuals gave rise to all the queers coming out of the closets?

That article was NOT written by a straight man. Regardless of his protestations to the contrary.

Just gotta weigh in on this. I've never gotten this show, didn't find the lifestyle depicted as desireable or particularly interesting. And, much like with the characters in the show Friends, since I never wanted to know or associate with people of this ilk in real life I certainly didn't want to spend an hour every week watching their fictional antics on tv.

The lifestyle just isn't appealing, and the characters are just so vapid and hollow. Bleah.

Now -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer, any of the CSI shows, etc -- I'm right there. But I never got these broads or this show.

I would like to apologize for being so crude. Besides, I could never get that drunk.

These women portray fictional characters. So you can’t “have sex with any of these women” author of this article.

Straight Men watch Desperate Housewives. Unless they conflict with a Sunday night Pats or Red Sox-Yankees game.

RepoGirl, I heard the impetus for SATC was four Gay guys who hung out together and the producers just made the cast women for marketing.

Sadly, that horse looks prettier. You couldn’t pay me enough, even when I was single and desperate, to touch parker.

Never watched the show, but the little brunette is kinda cute. I feel sorry for the horseface one, but the other two are nasty.

I'm not surprised. Most, if not all, women are just not wired for that kind of lifestyle. They may emulate or strive for it, but it doesn't come naturally. JMHOP.

The gay men I've known, even the "monogamous" ones, are another story...

I asked Lincoln what he thought about Sex and the city...His reply? “Well...Four Whores and 7 years ago we did not have to deal with them!!!”

“apologize—crude”
Tut tut, FRiend—not necessary.
There are basically two types of women in this world: those who pack rubbers in their purses and those who don’t.
Like TV prostitutes and the real article, those who travel `ready to rumble’ only resemble their television counterparts.

The show is about four of the most unlikeable, self-obsessed, screechy, vain, odious, crones every to grace the screen, large or small, and who make the witch in Snow White - the "transformed into an old woman with buggy-eyes, hook-nose and warts" version, mind you - look like Sophia Loren in her prime.

Never have four such harpies been attractive to any straight man, not even at 2 a.m. when the bar is closing.

Right on! Our thirty-something daughter and I argue all the time over SJP. She thinks I’m mean because I say it is an insult for Hollywood to try to pass off SJP as a beautiful woman. She’s a good actress but absolutely NOT a sex symbol. She may have gotten Danny DeVito but absolutely not Chris Noth. She’s married to Matthew Broderick, a nice guy, but he’s no Chris Noth, either.

Who are these gay men everyone here says write Sex and the City? As far as I can tell, the show is written by women.

I am drunk,and they are ugly.It must be me.If their only claim to fame is sluttiness[sp],It makes me wonder what nasty stuff is there?
I believe in sharing,but it only goes so far.
It’s not Burger King.
NEXT,..would you like condoms with that!?
How long can a movie sustain itself if the women have done the whole city??!
Dang,a remake of so and so does Dallas?
Ah,that was a better movie.
