Want to shout out to my new subscriber! My numbers continue to go up!

But Carrie isn’t happy and the girls find out and Big arrives right after Petrovsky accidentally hits her. Big and Carrie make up and they go on to get married.

My point was, the shit the girls complained about were such superficial problems, made me roll my eyes. Just about every guy they dated was successful in some way. Even bartender Steve went on to have his own bar. Comic book guy had HIS OWN BUSINESS. How many guys did the ladies date who were unemployed, had bad hygiene, weren’t particularly educated, dressed terrible, had zero class, bad grammar, overly horny, or homeless?

Part of the reason I think this show was so popular is because it really WAS a fantasy. Women watched it thinking they too might have good jobs or own successful businesses, and have nothing really earth-shattering affect them. They didn’t have to worry the guys they dated might be serial killers or serial rapists. For the most part, they were good-looking, had nice builds, good hygiene, good breath, etc., etc. and no arrest records. Yeah, Samantha DID get cancer, but presumably she had insurance and enough money to get her through. The last person I know who got cancer worked full-time at Lowe’s and probably didn’t have $100K saved for emergencies.

More Sex and the City Boyfriends, and Carrie’s Never Ending Complaints

But could ANYTHING/ANYBODY satisfy Carrie? I’m thinking no. She bitches at Big for his crappy dating behavior, yet does the same thing to Aidan. Bitches at Petrovsky for being “too romantic” instead of just romantic enough. Bitch, he BOUGHT that pink dress for you. That wasn’t enough? The poem he recited wasn’t enough? Dancing at Lincoln Center wasn’t enough?

So of course Petrovsky wants to go back to Paris. Having broken up with Big because he didn’t tell her IMMEDIATELY that he might have to go to Paris for a few months, they break up, but not before splattering McDonald’s all over his kitchen. But a friend of hers falls out of a window, and Carrie decides she’ll go to Paris, even though she can’t speak the language, and has nothing to do all day. She and Big have one last big blow up, saying that whenever she finally feels happy, Big comes along and screws it up. (He does.)

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
