More Sex and the City Boyfriends, Plus the REAL Reason You Hate Berger So Much

I think the reason people hated Berger so much is that he and Carrie were so much alike. Slightly kooky, self-deprecating, insecure, both writers, insecure, spent money on stupid stuff (overpriced clothes for her, motorcycles for him), and did I mention INSECURE?

Carrie DID buy him a nice shirt (which Berger looked delicious in) but prior to that, he remarked that a shirt that expensive should come with a studio apartment. Carrie was able to buy it for him because she just got an advance check from France. Yay for you, but have some sympathy for your fellow writer, who just got dropped from his publisher. Instead of a shirt, you might have asked him if he needed help with rent or something. I’d be a bit pissed if someone flaunted a $20,000 check in my face after I’d told them I lost my job, but that’s me. So sorry if I’m not jumping down with glee at your hard work. I’d invest that shit, but who am I? Carrie, instead of being financially responsible, blows 10 percent of it on a shirt for a guy she won’t ever see again. If anything, she should have bought something for Big. After all, he DID write her a $40,000 check so she could buy her apartment after Aidan evicted her. And since she insisted that Big was “in her life” and she couldn’t completely cut ties, he deserved something for coming back to such a nutty broad. So yeah, naaah, naaah, nah, nah, naaaaah to all you Berger haters.

You hate him because he’s male Carrie.

I love him because he’s Ron Livingston, hottest man on the planet.

Sex and the City Boyfriends, More on Berger and an analysis tomorrow

Berger was insecure, but not as much as Carrie.

Carrie laughed at him because one of the characters in his book was wearing a scrunchie. Carrie said NO NYC WOMAN would be caught dead wearing a scrunchie, and proved it when they saw a woman in a restaurant. The woman was from Macon, Georgia, and was thrilled someone mistook her for a local.

Meanwhile, Carrie freaks out whenever she had a book released, especially if Michiko Kakutani didn’t like it. After a less than flattering review, Carrie asked a friend once (might have been in AJLT) if she thinks Carrie thinks men are “disposable.” By this time, she’s rich as fuck, and if she never has another best-selling book, she ain’t gonna starve.

One of her last relationships is with writer Jack Berger, who has been unofficially crowned CARRIE’S WORST BOYFRIEND EVER. All because he broke up with her on a Post It note. I find this crappy behavior, but consider this:

Berger NEVER hit Carrie.

Yes, he was insecure, but he was coming off a break up with Lauren, and then, when he was with Carrie, his publisher dropped him. There are people who commit suicide for less serious reasons than this. I’m sure he wasn’t feeling confident at this time, but the hard-core SATC fans won’t give Berger a break. But if the same thing happened to Carrie, her girls would have rallied around her. And if Berger had gotten a big advance check and blew it all on dude stuff, he’d be labeled, “insensitive.” He earned his money. Just like Carrie did.

Berger wanted a break. He came back, and quickly realized it was a mistake. And left. And didn’t come back. Unlike Big who always seemed to know when Carrie was happy and did the “I need to talk to you” speech until she broke down.

Aidan was stupid to come back not once, but TWICE. He allowed Big to come up and complain about his woman, getting so drunk he was forced to stay overnight. Aidan should have thrown them both out into the rain. I mean, Big DID say he could get his driver to come up, right? And Carrie could have driven Big back, but if either of those had been chosen, we wouldn’t have had the middle-aged men fight in the mud scene, would we? We can’t ever forget Carrie screaming, “You HAVE to forgive me, you HAVE to forgive me!” Bitch, WHAT? If anything, I think I hate Aidan the most, because he had no spine at all. Bitch cheated with him in Big and Natasha’s bed, came up to the cabin, STAYED OVERNIGHT IN THE CABIN, and yes, proposed to Carrie anyway. And then his nasty side came out.

Next post: the money shot. I talk Berger and why he wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone thinks he is.

Carrie went out with some interesting types. She fucked up big time with that super normal guy, then had to start rooting around in his “secret box” while he was out playing basketball. Big floated in and out while she took her time with certain men. Aiden was just too nice for her. But he was a bit of a bumpkin too. Reluctant to fuck her, Carrie was wondering why he didn’t nail her within the first two weeks of their relationship.

Sex and the City Boyfriends! (Samantha’s Turn)

With Samantha, we heard about “funky spunk” guy, but she was a serial dater, so it didn’t much matter who she got with. I remember the woman artist she was with and the guy with a small dick, but that’s about it. Oh, Richard, and of course Smith. I thought Richard was a dick, and Smith was okay. Younger than everybody, but at least he was nice to Samantha during her cancer battle.

Charlotte, the wholesome, seemingly innocent sorority girl, got a serving of “Dirty Talk Guy” and the “White Knight” who left a trail of recently slugged men in his wake. She was probably the most likely to die at the hands of a serial killer. But she skipped the ear plugs and got rid of Sluggo. She ended up with a somewhat nebishy New York lawyer who didn’t seem like her type either. He certainly didn’t fit Charlotte’s type: WASPY New York banker types who graduated from prep schools and expensive colleges.

Hey! I have a YouTube channel too, and the stats really are blowing up! Thanks for looking! Here is one of my better efforts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B69_gn2-V08

If you want to know what Hong Kong Disneyland looks like (from a cynic’s eye) take a look!

This is for the Sex and the City Fans! We’re Talking SATC boyfriends!

Remember Miranda’s “Catholic Guy”? Her beef was that he always showered after sex. That’s bad?

My one and only boyfriend stood in front of me once and asked me if I smelled bad. I smelled him and told him he seemed okay, but I asked why I was smelling him. He said he couldn’t remember the last time he showered. I told him to take a fucking shower.

So Miranda, does Catholic Guy seem so bad now? Well, dumb question. She hooked up with Steve, who supposedly has decent hygiene but a hefty body count. Steve had that refreshingly “young” vibe about him, but had strangely unrealistic goals for his and Miranda’s relationship. He wanted to have a baby with her, but settled for a puppy. Then they actually had the baby, and considering the writers and their gay bosses, did what we all knew she was going to do and kept the baby. Of course she did! She’s Miranda! She’s Superwoman! What I wonder is why she didn’t go for someone more ambitious, but then love is strange, I guess. We envision people with certain types of people, then we get floored when the drop-dead gorgeous woman ends up with a toad for a husband. Or some tall, skinny guy ends up with a butterball. Or someone with decent manners ends up with someone raised in a barn. Steve had skid-marks, which is disgusting. But that’s what happens when you do your boyfriend’s laundry. Samantha would NEVER have put up with that bullshit.

Next: Talk dirty to me, Charlotte

This is for the Sex and the City Fans! We’re Talking SATC boyfriends!

It’s a long one, but I’m breaking it up into several parts. It will be a thought-provoking week. And huge thanks to the people reading my blog! The numbers have been great (for me, at least!)

I remember the phenomenon of Sex and the City. We must not have had HBO. I shared a hotel room with some friends on a trip and getting excited about watching an episode. And no, I can’t remember what episode it was.

The show seems a bit problematic now, but one of the things that irked me about the show were the boyfriends. The ladies were complaining about them. And I’m thinking, “What the fuck are you complaining about?” Why?

Because the men aren’t all that terrible. The things women were complaining about were minor.

Hear me out. Did the women honestly have to worry about being murdered? No. These days, when women go out, they have to update their friends, especially when dating someone new.

Back then, was it different? It sure seemed like it. Because the women were complaining about stuff that made me roll my eyes.

Next post: Catholic Guy wasn’t that bad, Miranda.
