SATC Has Ruined Your Dating Life
This weekend I had the pleasure of watching the Sex and the City feature film for the first time. It wasn’t a pleasure because of the film itself but because of the company I was in. An opinionated, Mr. Big-hating, Aidan-loving, heterosexual man, who paused the film throughout to blast the character’s decisions and reiterate his points.
“See, that’s what Carrie’s dumb ass gets for leaving Aidan for [Big]. She left a good guy and got left at the altar!”

SATC??? Are you KIDDING? Really, could you choose a movie more irrelevant than THIS? It glamorizes and espouses ALL the traits/characteristics that a decent black female is reared to shun, and turn away from as a young girl…Please, people..I know journalism..This is NOT it…

Is that a show produced by White folks for white folks? I have never wanted to see that BS. I know I am goood brotha, just ask my wife. Stop letting the TV dictate to you what a good man might look like.

You said: “Grown women have Carrie Bradshaw and Sex and the City, a over-stylized, fantasy-filled depiction of a city that in real life is one of the worst cities to meet, date and marry someone”…
I TOTALLY AGREE with you!
It sucks. SATC messed me up because all the men in that show have these great jobs, but what about us men who have hum drum boring friggin’ jobs? I guess we should get over looked….
