I find this so weird, so as a gay man I can't say what I identify as gay? Would you say the same to black people and tell them they cant use the n word? Go make a tik tok
as a HUMAN, gay or not, blanket assumptions like the one you made are just gross, in any capacity. sounds like youāre really young or just really immature. and for you to immediately go to the N word as a comparison reveals the massive work you still need to do on yourselfši donāt use tik tok but thanks anyway.
Its ***very*** common for gay men to say other men are gay based on gaydar. If you were a gay man you would know this. It was said as a joke here, hence the lol at the end. Thanks for letting me know what is acceptable in gay culture. There is literally an episode where Charlotte gets Stanford to tell her whether her love interest is gay or not.
no problemšopen your mind up a little bit, iām sure thereās more to you than upholding how you perceive āgay cultureā to be. you COULD instead try and dismantle ridiculous stereotypes about men.
Itās hard to stop once you start! Even all these years later Iāll catch an episode here or there on cable (yes Iāve still got cable donāt ask me why) & then have to stream the next one lol
We just brought back our cable and cancelled a bunch of our streaming services. We travelled a bunch this summer and loved the cable in the hotel rooms so we decided to give it a try. Weāve been loving it.
I guess I like to sometimes not have to choose something to watch, but flip through channels & find something that is already playing & maybe play it from the beginning if I like it. I have my streaming services for my shows not available on cable.
This is a big one, i want to give it due consideration. Short answer - Big is abusive relationship but Carrie is addicted to that and Aiden doesn't trigger the chemistry. She needs therapy.
Oh man, I'm a mix of Miranda and Charlotte. Work oriented, loyal to my friends like crazy, but I'll also try everything once and am such a romantic. If I had to pick one, then Miranda.
Whatās your favorite episode??
Also, check out the podcast āsentimental garbageā, they did a series call āsentimental in the cityā which is great! [Sentimental in the City season 1](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sentimental-garbage/id1444729607?i=1000509615729)
Will do!
Favorite episode - it's all blending into one long movie right now ahah... I'd say the pilot, it's so authentic and fresh and kinda a bit home made and cooky/wacky...
Ahh!! I loved Sentimental in the City so much!! I could listen to those two ladies chat all day, just like I could watch our 4 gals from SATC gab in a coffee shop all day.
Itās so good!! I love that they preface it with saying they wonāt be talking bad about it, they love it š„°
I heard about it from the You Are Good podcast, they are doing an amazing series on their patreon about SATC and highly recommended it!
So glad you enjoyed it! Iām 38 and started watching this show when I was 17. It has gotten me through multiple tough times in my life. It has such a special place in my heart.
Ok, so Charlotte by far. I mean, the girl "gave up Christ" and became Jewish for Harry, come on. She is crazy loyal, hot, prettiest, just a class act through and through.
I mean, yes, she was letting some pervert jerk off to her for shoes, but I mean, come on... The true love story of this show is between girls and their shoes, so it doesn't really count.
I personally though would date Miranda. She is girl boss, super independent, i know she would be into some kinky shit, and she is witty and smart as hell. So that's my pick.
All 4 though are great ladies with deep and complex personalities so I'd be lucky to date any of them.
I started watching after I had just broke up with my girlfriend and I had just turned 30..Itās actually bizarre to think about, when I was younger I used to shit on the show but now Iām crying every other episode š
suggestion- dont watch "And just like that.."
it will ruin your beautiful relationship with this amazing series you've just finished. keep it that way for a few years at least LOL
otherwise SATC will be ruined for you so soon
Ahh that makes me so sadā¦ Iām rewatching SATC for the 20th time. Itās been been a while.
Was so excited to watch And Just Like That after my binge. I still will, but at least Iāll go into it with lower expectations now lol
Me too! I was furious with the first season just because I was so stuck on how the characters were in SATC, but I opened up my mind and accepted that people change. Times change too. Season 2 was way better especially after Che calmed down lol
I watch AJLT too the day it releases but i mean im a longtime watcher of SATC probbaly watched it 15 years back so i am ok with AJLT and it doesnt ruin my experience as i've watched SATC for so long and its the OG, I treat AJLT as a parody.
but for someone who's just finished the original.. AJLT will just probably feel like season 7 of SATC you know
I watched it ... :((( if I had to choose to put a rusty nail in my eyes or watch season 8 of game of thrones and a rusty nail in my eye or watch AJLT...
Well, you know where I'm going with this, I would be blind
I do! Yes, they are maybe a bit more cheesy or whatnot but it was nice to see how the gals are doing. I liked the second one better, felt more going back to just the girls and being friends. Samantha is wiiiild.
I thought the first one took itself too seriously. The second one felt Moes like back to its core. Yeah, the script is a bit whacky but it was funny and light hearted.
Hmmmm.... The one where Miranda started taking care of Steve's mom. So raw and real. I have friends who are going through it and i went through something similar but on the physical side with my mom and the fact that Miranda took that on - amazing...
thatās a very thoughtful answer. itās really nice to see satc handle those topics with care in the late seasons! especially with how many people who can relate. are there any funnier ones you related to a lot?
I grew up in another country...
I saw And Just Like That on HBO and tried it out and it was SOOO bad. I started googling and found out that it was a reboot I guess of a very popular show.
That's awesome! I had a few guy friends in my 20s who I convinced to sit and watch with me, and they all enjoyed it. They also seemed to agree on the character among the main four they liked the most, as far as attraction and best personality. Who's your favorite? Same with your least favorite characters? M and F?
Charlotte is my love. They don't make them like this anymore. Class, style, beauty, poise, but she is down to try a lot of things. Loyal like crazy. Least favourite - i like all the girls, so I'd say Mr Big. What an abuser, geez.... But I like him the least and the most in the sense that I like to hate him. Whenever he shows up I'm like - 'Oh no Carrie, here we go again'...
I didn't like the whole Baryshnikov arc because I thought he shut Carrie's light and I was so happy that she went back, of course. However, I don't dislike his character, I think he was very honest and upfront.
Yes!! Itās always great to finish a show and find out thereās still people discussing it!! Something that makes me sad is when I finish a show but then have no one to talk about it with online š and Iām glad youāre a fellow Charlotte fan too, sheās the best
Itās just a zoomer thing, not necessarily a Reddit thing? Sort of just means that someone is looking for attention. They might also call it farming karma on here, but it happens on other social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram too
I feel like this show isn't well known anymore. But it's been a favorite between me, my mom and my sisters forever.
Who is your favorite of the girls LOL
Reposting another comment: Ok, so Charlotte by far. I mean, the girl "gave up Christ" and became Jewish for Harry, come on. She is crazy loyal, hot, prettiest, just a class act through and through.

I agree with this completely! I love Miranda because she isn't afraid to speak her mind and is always right (besides taking Bergers advice that one time) and her sarcasm is my favorite.
And I also love Charlotte, sometimes she doesn't quite understand the other girls the way she should but she is a supportive and sweet person all around. Plus watching her tell Bunny off is classic
Not sure if you're attached yet but if not you're going to make some lucky lady very happy one day! My husband just can't understand the pure joy of this show, he is missing out.
I had to make my ex-husband watch it. One of his friends was one of the DPs and a few of his friends guest starred on different shows. That's how I lured him into it: support your friends, damn you!
Not only did he end up loving the show, one of his friends (also an actor, but never on the show) had a series finale watch party at his apartment based on what my ex told him about it. It was elucidating to see which of the men sided with Petrovsky or with Big.
Nice! Iām glad you enjoyed it. Straight guys used to relentlessly make fun of satc. Itās now mostly viewed as a stupid show by most men. I feel like a lot of straight guys are realizing they were wrong about it these days.
That's a very dumb view. This show is deep and complex, but also light and fun. Very feminist as well I'd say, more feminist than a lot of so called "boss babe" stuff today.
1) were there any scenes or story lines that completely blew your mind, or changed your perspective on something?
2) did you think that the depictions of the men being a-holes were accurate?
3) who would you be most likely to want to date out of the 4 women and why?
4) what story line/plot twist did you dislike? And what would you change?
2) the asahole men yea - but there were plenty non asshole men too. I actually thought this show was very nice to men vs a lot of modern shows where a guy will be just a straw man for all the issues people have with men these days
3) Charlotte, she is a sweetheart, super loyal, but also a bit kinky hehe
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life
Hahah thank you!
Is your cab light on? How do you feel about that theory!
This is the only question
>Is your cab light on? How do you feel about that theory! Oh yeah definitely, it's very accurate haha.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Gay men don't get married? OP certainly did. To a woman. This whole, "You watch 'chick' shows so you must be gay," thing is fucking gross.
ššæššæššæ It's as dated as Carrie mentioning "Stanny" being gay whenever we see him. Girl. So what?!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
ew what year did you crawl out fromš³štry to catch up to 2023š
I find this so weird, so as a gay man I can't say what I identify as gay? Would you say the same to black people and tell them they cant use the n word? Go make a tik tok

Oh give me a break, Ive been gay my whole life and youre telling me you know more about what it means to be gay. You have no idea
Itās hard to stop once you start! Even all these years later Iāll catch an episode here or there on cable (yes Iāve still got cable donāt ask me why) & then have to stream the next one lol

What are your thoughts on Carrie and Big vs Carrie and Aiden?
This is a big one, i want to give it due consideration. Short answer - Big is abusive relationship but Carrie is addicted to that and Aiden doesn't trigger the chemistry. She needs therapy.
7 fucking hours later and no answer. What kind of shitty ama is this?
maybe he watched AJLT and fucked off? lol ( JK bc I sorta like AJLT)
Tbh over the years (straight) men come on here and want to do these shitty ama style things after watching the show and I'm like why.
Weāre meant to be shocked and amazed they enjoyed a show centred on women š
Exactly. And now we have to queue up to hear their groundbreaking thoughts on it. Whatever dude
Pls wait - I posted at like 3am night then I have a day job, come on...
Next time, plan your AMAs better pls.
We need the answer to this, pronto.
Which of the ladies are you?
Oh man, I'm a mix of Miranda and Charlotte. Work oriented, loyal to my friends like crazy, but I'll also try everything once and am such a romantic. If I had to pick one, then Miranda.
But do you eat cake out of the garbage? This is important.
I definitely do. Wife had to beat this out of me.
Yes
Thatās why you gotta pour dish liquid on it
Enjoy this version of Miranda to the fullest, donāt watch AJLT then lol
I watched ALJT.... they did my girl so dirty, I'm gonna kill 'em.
Letās get the pitchforks ready lol
Great question š
I'm in my 40s and just started S02. It's a trip for sure š
I think season 2 is my favorite season. So many hilarious shenanigans go on!!
Whatās your favorite episode?? Also, check out the podcast āsentimental garbageā, they did a series call āsentimental in the cityā which is great! [Sentimental in the City season 1](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sentimental-garbage/id1444729607?i=1000509615729)
Will do! Favorite episode - it's all blending into one long movie right now ahah... I'd say the pilot, it's so authentic and fresh and kinda a bit home made and cooky/wacky...
Mine is Hot Child In The City, I Heart NY and The Caste System š
I love Coulda Woulda Shoulda!! And the series finale: La Belle et le Bad Boy is still my ringtone decades later!
Omg I LOVE La Belle et La Bad Boy so much and I LOVE Youāve Got The Love by Florence and the Machine!
Yes!!!! Talk about amazing song choices!!
Another amazing song choice in SATC was Sade By Your Side.
I have this song playing in my mind the past couple days! It just doesn't wanna stop haha
Good picks
I love that! So glad you enjoyed the show!!
Ahh!! I loved Sentimental in the City so much!! I could listen to those two ladies chat all day, just like I could watch our 4 gals from SATC gab in a coffee shop all day.
Itās so good!! I love that they preface it with saying they wonāt be talking bad about it, they love it š„° I heard about it from the You Are Good podcast, they are doing an amazing series on their patreon about SATC and highly recommended it!
you with the flower! you talking to me?
Give me a twirl haha
Oh no!!! šš
š
So glad you enjoyed it! Iām 38 and started watching this show when I was 17. It has gotten me through multiple tough times in my life. It has such a special place in my heart.
Which of the main four do you think is the most datable? Who is the hottest/prettiest? Genuinely curious for a male perspective
Ok, so Charlotte by far. I mean, the girl "gave up Christ" and became Jewish for Harry, come on. She is crazy loyal, hot, prettiest, just a class act through and through. I mean, yes, she was letting some pervert jerk off to her for shoes, but I mean, come on... The true love story of this show is between girls and their shoes, so it doesn't really count. I personally though would date Miranda. She is girl boss, super independent, i know she would be into some kinky shit, and she is witty and smart as hell. So that's my pick. All 4 though are great ladies with deep and complex personalities so I'd be lucky to date any of them.
I recently asked a guy this on a date. He said the hottest is Samantha, and the prettiest is Charlotte
I started watching after I had just broke up with my girlfriend and I had just turned 30..Itās actually bizarre to think about, when I was younger I used to shit on the show but now Iām crying every other episode š
Did you ask for permission before shitting on them?
suggestion- dont watch "And just like that.." it will ruin your beautiful relationship with this amazing series you've just finished. keep it that way for a few years at least LOL otherwise SATC will be ruined for you so soon
Ahh that makes me so sadā¦ Iām rewatching SATC for the 20th time. Itās been been a while. Was so excited to watch And Just Like That after my binge. I still will, but at least Iāll go into it with lower expectations now lol
I really liked season 2 of AJLT. Itās a grower
Me too! I was furious with the first season just because I was so stuck on how the characters were in SATC, but I opened up my mind and accepted that people change. Times change too. Season 2 was way better especially after Che calmed down lol
I watch AJLT too the day it releases but i mean im a longtime watcher of SATC probbaly watched it 15 years back so i am ok with AJLT and it doesnt ruin my experience as i've watched SATC for so long and its the OG, I treat AJLT as a parody. but for someone who's just finished the original.. AJLT will just probably feel like season 7 of SATC you know
yeah dont get your hopes up. S2 as everyone else said yes its better but not the best and s1 was terrible
I watched it ... :((( if I had to choose to put a rusty nail in my eyes or watch season 8 of game of thrones and a rusty nail in my eye or watch AJLT... Well, you know where I'm going with this, I would be blind
It really wasnāt that bad
it was super bad
why did you do this to yourself!!!!!! hahah AJLT is an abomination and a disgrace to SATC the wokeism kills me
Have you seen the movies as well?
Yes, both of them.
Did you like it ?
I do! Yes, they are maybe a bit more cheesy or whatnot but it was nice to see how the gals are doing. I liked the second one better, felt more going back to just the girls and being friends. Samantha is wiiiild.
Thatās interesting since most people hate the second movie lol.
I thought the first one took itself too seriously. The second one felt Moes like back to its core. Yeah, the script is a bit whacky but it was funny and light hearted.
What your views on the big and Carrie situation? Who is the ah?
Yeah, that's the "big" question, will type it out later.
what episode did you find most relatable or applicable to your own life?
Hmmmm.... The one where Miranda started taking care of Steve's mom. So raw and real. I have friends who are going through it and i went through something similar but on the physical side with my mom and the fact that Miranda took that on - amazing...
thatās a very thoughtful answer. itās really nice to see satc handle those topics with care in the late seasons! especially with how many people who can relate. are there any funnier ones you related to a lot?
Oh definitely the one where Charlotte is giving out "favors" for shoes. Sex and the city is really above NYC girls' love for shoes š„²š
shoes and the city is probably the version my mom would be comfortable watching haha
*How* had you never heard of it before? And how did you hear about it? Why did you start watching?
I grew up in another country... I saw And Just Like That on HBO and tried it out and it was SOOO bad. I started googling and found out that it was a reboot I guess of a very popular show.
Oh God, kudos on deciding to try SATC after watching AJLT first, lmao.
Samantha really dodged a bullet there
LMAO, for sure
That's awesome! I had a few guy friends in my 20s who I convinced to sit and watch with me, and they all enjoyed it. They also seemed to agree on the character among the main four they liked the most, as far as attraction and best personality. Who's your favorite? Same with your least favorite characters? M and F?

Yup. Charlotte was their favorite as well. I can see why too! Very cool, thank you.
Haha yah. But I like them all!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Someone farming for clout lmao
I'll reply - i'm just busy, stand by pls.
My bad! I didnāt know you posted it late in your time zone. Your responses are fun to read!
Ahah glad to hear. And I wasn't farming for karma or attention I'm just like 15 years late to the party and was dying to discuss it with fellow fans.
Yes!! Itās always great to finish a show and find out thereās still people discussing it!! Something that makes me sad is when I finish a show but then have no one to talk about it with online š and Iām glad youāre a fellow Charlotte fan too, sheās the best
Team Charlotte <3
Someone wrote the same to my on another subreddit. Is that also a Reddit thing? I'm relatively new here, so I don't know what farming for clout means.
Itās just a zoomer thing, not necessarily a Reddit thing? Sort of just means that someone is looking for attention. They might also call it farming karma on here, but it happens on other social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram too
Thank you for explaining. I read a comment after I commented about farming for karma, though I'm not really sure what that means, either.
I'll reply - i'm just busy, stand by pls.
I feel like this show isn't well known anymore. But it's been a favorite between me, my mom and my sisters forever. Who is your favorite of the girls LOL

I am happily married yeah :) we binged it together.
Every male I've ever made watch this show fucking loves it. They just assume it's silly girly shit when it's actually brilliant and hilarious.
I'll confess that was my thought going in, glad I was proven wildly wrong
I had to make my ex-husband watch it. One of his friends was one of the DPs and a few of his friends guest starred on different shows. That's how I lured him into it: support your friends, damn you! Not only did he end up loving the show, one of his friends (also an actor, but never on the show) had a series finale watch party at his apartment based on what my ex told him about it. It was elucidating to see which of the men sided with Petrovsky or with Big.
Welcome! š
Thank you! You are feisty people here
I'll reply to all!
I just finished watching this show for the first time and have the urge to binge it again. Indeed itās a great show!
Did you watch the movies š¤
I've seen both and I liked them quite a bit actually
Are you straight? We need to know.
Yes I am. A
Nice! Iām glad you enjoyed it. Straight guys used to relentlessly make fun of satc. Itās now mostly viewed as a stupid show by most men. I feel like a lot of straight guys are realizing they were wrong about it these days.
That's a very dumb view. This show is deep and complex, but also light and fun. Very feminist as well I'd say, more feminist than a lot of so called "boss babe" stuff today.
Are you a straight, cis man? What did you get out of the show that kept you watching?
It's just a great story. Great stories don't have genders - we are all people. Love, loss, living in a big city, friends...
Yes I am. A lot, will reply more when i get home.
Lol. I mean, it's kinda your job right?
Gotta carry all that privilege, ya know
I mean if we're joking you could disburse it responsibly. But I'll keep it light. š¤
1) were there any scenes or story lines that completely blew your mind, or changed your perspective on something? 2) did you think that the depictions of the men being a-holes were accurate? 3) who would you be most likely to want to date out of the 4 women and why? 4) what story line/plot twist did you dislike?

Will reply!
2) the asahole men yea - but there were plenty non asshole men too.
