Ann Coulter once made the observation that the women in “Sex and the City” don’t act like real-world women, they act like gay men.
It just so happens that the scripts are written by gay men.
Coincidence?
I hate hate HATE that show. I loathe it with a white-hot passion.
We call girls like that whores and they do not make it past the sift as wife prospects so they will always be alone.
Hey! I'm insecure! Will one of them date ME?
(Gee I wonder if I could ever keep one of them happy)
(I mean, I'm not all that)
(Matter of fact, just forget it)
(No woman would ever want me)
(Ever)
(sob)
I’ve always referred to that show as ‘Sex and the Sluts’.
It only mildly annoys me.
Now, FRIENDS, I hated.
They were NO FRIENDS OF MINE!
I will stipulate to hating Friends as well. Not quite as much, but how the hell did they afford those huge NYC lofts on cook/waitress/itinerant actor salaries?
On the other hand, if you hate Seinfeld, our affair is over.
I believe in personal responsibility, however, I heard on the radio that some girls were blaming SATC for the fact that they were sluts.
Seinfeld is a god.
Now then. Where are we meeting again? ;)
SOCIALISM is how the “Friends” afforded a NYC loft. It was rent controlled (Socialism) and formerly occupied by a relative of one of them.
All the agonizing, all the trying-trying-trying to get a man to commit to them... it was just painful to watch even those few moments.
Then my friend told me about the whole "He's Just Not That Into You" conversation that spawned the book by the same name. I was interested in the book, so I picked it up and read it... and it was The Rules but from a guy's point of view! Literally: men are the hunters, women are the hunted. So just hold still, look pretty, let him do the chasing, and if he doesn't chase hard enough, move on.
And that was depressing too, really, in its own way. So my current view is that feminism is a failure, the old fashioned me-Tarzan-you-Jane is dehumanizing, and I am taking a vow of celibacy for life and concentrating on keeping my house really, really clean.

No wonder that premise has no appeal for me.
Never saw it and never will.
And the eternal answer will always be that it's all well and good, but men will leave them in a split-second to be with a woman who wants to be a woman.
***...and I am taking a vow of celibacy for life and concentrating on keeping my house really, really clean.***
LOL!
After enduring all of 15 minutes, all that could be said was, "WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP!"
With the exception of a cute any woman can relate scenario in the first episode I saw, I didn’t care very much for the show either. There was something about the SJP character that I found to be almost seedy.
It was also contradictory. Here these women wanted relationships, but anyone in a relationship, let alone a decent marriage was a villian or scorned.
I thought it was pretty obvious it was sex and the city was really a story about the sexual hedonistic life of homosexuasl using women as a “cover”
Seinfeld is a god.
You blaspheme against the Lord and His Only Begotten Son with your idolatry! Repent now - it's not too late. If not, you ensure an eternity in HELL!
/LOL
I watched a few episodes when it ran on TBS, and thought it was dreck too. The women were all pathetic. SJP - eternal fashion victim. Kim Cattrall (Samantha) acting style - say something risque, turn head sideways, smirk/smile at own lame comment. Repeat ad nauseum.
