When it comes to Sex and the City, some lessons shouldn’t be learned from the show.
There were plenty of good lessons to learn from the show, especially when it comes to sex positivity.
But thats not what were talking about today.
Sex and the City / HBO
There were some lessons fromSex and the Citythat should be avoided at all costs.
Writers make mad bank.
Carrie Bradshaw manages to afford a lot just by writing a weekly sex column for the newspaper.
Shes having daily brunches with the girls and spends her nights drinking in expensive clubs and bars.
Im sorry to say, but this is a total fantasy.
(Which is honestly a shame.)
I should be able to run around the city in heels.
The ladies ofSex and the Citywere always wearing crazy high heelsespecially Carrie.
Theyre frolicking around Manhattan as if theyre dancing on clouds.
Maybe all those people who complain about heels are just exaggerating?
Nope, its the show thats wrong.
Why designers decided to create torture devices for our feet, Ill never know.
My life will revolve around men.
Sure, wed sometimes get a different storyline, but I honestly cant think of a single one.
Despite the show starring an almost entirely female cast,SATCreally doesnt pass the Bechdel test.
Every conversation is about men.
Thankfully, in real life thats not the case.
It turns out women have more to say than what their boyfriends dick looks like.
Something incredibly interesting will happen nearly every day.
Compared toSex and the City, my real adult life is incredibly boring.
Im not getting broken up with via a Post-It note or moving to Paris with my Russian boyfriend.
Im not falling on runways or making my friends buy me shoes for being single.
Nope, Im just sitting here watchingLove Actuallyfor the fifteenth time and thinking about ordering a pizza for dinner.
Real life is mostly low-drama and Im cool with that.
I should pine for the unavailable guy.
The worst lesson of all comes from the biggest storyline of the show, pun intended.
Carrie starts the series with Big and we learn quickly that hes not right for her.
The amount of heartache and heartbreak she gets from this one man is outrageous.
Sure, they end up together in the end, but at what cost?
Is a man like that really worth the trouble?
Lets all do ourselves a favor and forget about the difficult guys.
Real, high-quality love feels easy.
