How Real Is Sex And The City?


**the sex and the city - expert ladies**

I'm not sure about the guys, but I bet most gurls watched this show **big big smile** I bet with my lit finger (Desmond, did mentioned to me that I'm such lousy in betting, but this for sure) **smile** Sometimes I had a tummy ache and it all because of laughing too much **rolling eyes smile** It's damn fucking funny, man... (Hip!hip HOORAY for SATC)

For those who didn't watch this show, allow me to intro the show to you. Here goes: On Sex and the City , Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) lives the high life and writes about sex and relationships whilst sleeping with a few men here and there in search of the perfect man. Her friends -- Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), the woman who will sleep with anything that has a penis and a pulse; Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), the successful, independent woman who always ends up in bed with the weirdos; and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), who believed that marriage was the be all end all of love, life and the pursuit of happiness - all seem equally promiscuous and quirky. (Now, you got the basic understanding... goodie) **smile**

Questions: Are these women real? Do you know anyone like them? Believe it or not, metropolitan women are more like these babes than you might think (and this is the fact, ok) Is it just a fact of life that women who are unmarried and over 30 become promiscuous naturally? Of course not, it's a conscious decision they make (agree?!!!) **rolling eyes smile** There was a time when virtually all young girls grew up envisioning their wedding day and a future filled with children and wifely duties. Those days are long gone and with every new generation, this little dream seems to be obsolete.

Have women really become so sex oriented that they've become blind to love, marriage and the whole nine yards? Well, obviously not, since Carrie fell for Mr. Big and Aidan -- even though she did sleep with a married Big while she was dating Aidan. It seems monogamy is dead on both sides of the coin. At least from this show's perspective. Samantha, by far the most promiscuous of the bunch, finally fell in love, but to her dismay, she caught the man she loves doing to her what she did to most of the men that came and went in her life -- he cheated. I guess what comes around goes around (do you believe in "karma" - as for myself - YES! I do, very much) **winking smile** Do women think the show's true to life? What about men? **wondering smile**

Asking many women (mostly my gurl frens) if they watch the show garnered a very enthusiastic "yes" But when I asked how close the show was to their real lives, only a handful of city women agreed that there were quite a few similarities between the characters and them and their friends **weird smile + rolling eyes smile**

Although it's hard to believe that many women live the crazy lifestyle that the four babes of the popular hit series enjoy, there is nevertheless an element of truth to the show. After all, where are all the ideas coming from? (agree with me!??) **smile** ...You do the math.... **winking smile**

WHAT IS IT ABT MEN, WOMEN AND SEX? SOMETIMES I DO FEEL THAT THOSE SUBJECT ARE TOO TRANSPARENT TO SEE AND YET TOO DAMN CONSTRUCTIVE TO ELABORATE. YES, IDEAS NORMALLY COME FROM THE REAL SITUATION BUT IDEAS AND REALITY DOESN'T ALWAYS END UP RIGHT...LIFE IS PARALLEL IF THAT'S THE CHOICE I HAVE TO PEN DOWN
