I could also be relationship myself, however when the unique sequence of Intercourse and the Metropolis was airing on HBO, I used to be smack in the course of my formative teen years. After all, like actually everybody on the time, I used to be glued to my TV each week to see what shenanigans Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha have been getting as much as. There have been loads of good classes to be taught from the present, particularly in relation to intercourse positivity. However that’s not what we’re speaking about in the present day. There have been some classes from Intercourse and the Metropolis that ought to be averted in any respect prices.
Writers make mad financial institution.
Carrie Bradshaw manages to afford rather a lot simply by writing a weekly intercourse column for the newspaper. She’s acquired a ravishing residence in a walk-up in Manhattan, and, most perplexing of all, a closet stuffed with designer garments and sneakers. She’s having day by day brunches with the women and spends her nights consuming in costly golf equipment and bars. I’m sorry to say, however this can be a whole fantasy. Until she had a belief fund we didn’t learn about, there’s no manner she was affording any of that on a author’s wage. (Which is actually a disgrace.)
I ought to have the ability to run across the metropolis in heels.
The women of Intercourse and the Metropolis have been at all times sporting loopy excessive heels–particularly Carrie. They’re frolicking round Manhattan as in the event that they’re dancing on clouds. Perhaps all these individuals who complain about heels are simply exaggerating? Nope, it’s the present that’s fallacious. Why designers determined to create torture units for our ft, I’ll by no means know.
My life will revolve round males.
I understand that it’s known as Intercourse and the Metropolis, however the present actually did revolve round solely the romances of the 4 most important characters. Positive, we’d typically get a distinct storyline, however I actually can’t consider a single one. Regardless of the present starring an virtually completely feminine forged, SATC actually doesn’t go the Bechdel check. Each dialog is about males. Fortunately, in actual life that’s not the case. It seems girls have extra to say than what their boyfriend’s dick seems to be like.
One thing extremely attention-grabbing will occur almost every single day.
In comparison with Intercourse and the Metropolis, my actual grownup life is extremely boring. I’m not getting damaged up with by way of a Put up-It observe or shifting to Paris with my Russian boyfriend. I’m not falling on runways or making my buddies purchase me sneakers for being single. Nope, I’m simply sitting right here watching Love Really for the fifteenth time and fascinated by ordering a pizza for dinner. Actual life is usually low-drama and I’m cool with that.
I ought to pine for the unavailable man.
The worst lesson of all comes from the largest storyline of the present, pun supposed. Carrie begins the sequence with Massive and we be taught rapidly that he’s not proper for her. The quantity of heartache and heartbreak she will get from this one man is outrageous. He’s a commitment-phobe with main points who treats her like shit, and but she spends the complete sequence pining over him whereas relationship or being engaged to others. Positive, they find yourself collectively in the long run, however at what value? Is a person like that actually well worth the bother? Let’s all do ourselves a favor and neglect in regards to the troublesome guys. Actual, high-quality love feels simple.
