Yup. That’s been discussed throughout the series run. The gals on the show somehow have money to burn AND all the free time to socialize AND never seem to spend much time working out.

AND have all these alpha males slobbering after them at their ages.

Wow!! What a great plot-line!

I can't believe I have missed every single episode of this life-altering, clearly enlightening, and self empowering show.

Clearly the best America has to offer.

60 is the new 60. Be retired by then.

Why is the author fixated on whether or not it’s “ok” for a woman to be single and at what age it’s appropriate? I have news for the author, as long as a woman is happy with herself, no one cares whether or not she is married. The subplot of the movie or was simply about women’s relationships with their gal-pals. The author reminds me of a FReeper intent on hijacking a thread to suit their own agenda.

Criminy, my wife is a complete Jane Austen fan. I might have to actually go re-read Pride and Prejudice again.

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.

“Is 40 really the New 20?”

No, 40 is still 40. Reality sets in when I look at my hairline and waistline from 19 years ago. I may ache a little when I get out of bed, but I am nowhere near as naive as I was about EVERYTHING back then.

You are in good company. Lauren Hutton expressed that exact point here (in case you didn't see it).

No — 40 is having to deal with the harsh realities of the real definition of marriage and that it is not a rose petal-covered walkway with Cinderella-like fantasies that we as girls are taught. That part only lasts about 5 seconds.

I only wish I had been taught the harsh realities of life — the good, the bad and the ugly — rather than just the typical “girls get married and have babies” bit.

One good thing I must say about being 42 years old and a wife & mom is the fact that I have so much love in me, and a lot of love to go around. Being over 40 has taught me to be less selfish, self-absorbed & egotistical.

ummm....Emma is not a character in Pride and Prejudice, she’s the main character in Emma (go figure). Either way, Jane Austen is a marvelous read, her character descriptions are phenomenal.

“But still, you will be an old maid—and that is so dreadful!”

Puts me in mind of the movie "Its a Wonderful Life" when Clarence tells George of the horror that Mary has become "an old maid." We then see Donna Reed in librarian getup being scared of every man she meets.

I certainly hope this show was able to get enough anti-Bush and anti-republican coments mixed in to get nominated for an oscar.

And it’s the women’s relationships that has sent women to the film to celebrate just that.

The show is Sex and the City. It is a bunch of women sluts, not her relationship to her gal pals.

I'm not. What I'm fixated on is this: this movie does not say what people think it says.

Surprisingly, I didn’t notice any bashing. I’m usually on the alert for that, too, but I don’t remember hearing any. They were all too busy gushing over shoes and agonizing over men.
