Sex and the City ?!


Question Posted Sunday August 17 2008, 1:11 am

So, I'm a huge fan of Sex and the City. Call me stupid or whatever but I have this weird feeling.
I sometimes find myself in the same positions as Carrie.
We're both in love with guys that aren't really in love with us.
Like we have casual sex with these guys. Everything that has happened with her and "Big" has happened to me and my "Big". It's very peculiar. For example, in the show he always leaves her for another woman, same happens to me. And he always chases back for her when the relationship is over with another woman. And when she was in another relationship with Aiden he comes back which leads her to cheating, this has happened to me before. Like in the movie, they ended up getting married. I sometimes picture me and him one day marrying. I really don't need the criticism but do you think this is a sign ? Or what ? I always find myself wondering this...


Thanks In Advanced.

My friend felt the exact same way. The problem is, that is an entirely made-up story and nothing about it is real--not even the names of the characters. You really need to keep that in mind.

Many men play the field by going back to the ex-girlfriend who will give them what they want, when they want it. So, when a woman they are interested in leaves them for various reasons, they go back to the ex that they can use for awhile. These men are simply creeps and nothing can ever come out of that.

Chances are you two won't get married. Chances also are that he'll use you right up until he finds the woman he is going to marry--and, even then, you still may end up being the mistress. Even if a miracle happened and you two got married he would use and abuse you like he does now--he would, most likely, end up cheating on you with various women for awhile before leaving you entirely. THAT is real life.

My friend would go back to her "Big" every time he called. He would string her along, pretending that they MIGHT have a future together. She would get all worked up and excited, but then suddenly he would move on to another girl. The whole deal was that he wanted something that my friend could give him--sex. He knew she was attached to him and he knew he could play that to his advantage.

People who have various sexual partners tend to be very insecure--which isn't portrayed in the show at all. They tend to be used for sexual pleasures and then dumped off like yesterday's garbage because they allow themselves to be used.

Carrie and "Big" simply could not survive in the real life. Carrie would be an insecure woman who needed reassurance about every move she made. She would sleep around to feel loved and appreciated. "Big" would step into her picture and realize that she was, simply put, easy. He would play that up because that is who he is--a manipulative, cold-hearted person. "Big" would not really develop any feelings for Carrie, but Carrie would hang onto his every word simply because he played her so that she thought he was always interested.

Real life just happens a lot differently than television and movies.

In short, no, I don't think it's a sign that you two are going to be together in the end; however, I think you asking this question and getting this response is a sign that you need to stop belittling yourself with this type of men.

Your "Big" will never be the guy in the television show/movie. He really just isn't that into you if he isn't with you.

I do hope I've sparked something that will make you change your ways before you're old, grey, and miserable. You deserve more than you are giving yourself credit for. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! :)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think it's a sign. Pretty much every woman throughout time has experienced this, which is what makes this such a popular show. The everyday woman can relate to Carrie.
