Carrie Bradshaw was not good looking enough for her dating life

What's up with the "is this person attractive" threads these days? |

This is why I enjoy British and other foreign shows. The actors look more real and are usually more talented than US productions. Side note, is the hair length in this picture attractive on anyone? I'm planning a hair cut and trying to decide how short to go. |

Unless you have a perfect face that hair length isn't good on anyone. It was transformative for SJP when she went long and much blonder. If you don't have the face, the sexy hair-body combo is key. |

+1 to all of this. |

| Nothing Carrie Bradshaw actually did or was as a character explained her lifestyle. Wonder how many women wound up moving to NY thinking they were going to be a fashion blogger and enjoy the high life. Lol. |

| I just want to say I have begun stepping off curbs exactly the way she does, complete with the look over the shoulder, and I suggest you all try it - tons more fun than I thought it'd be! |

| The ONLY good thing about that show was that CB was unconventional looking. Everything else about it I hated so much. Misogynistic crap. |

DCUM goes through phases. Sometimes it's "is this person attractive" but other times it's "is this person high class" |

What! Sarah Jessica Parker dated Robert Downey Jr and also JFK Jr, who is one of the most gorgeous men to ever live. |

The proof that men DO find her attractive simply cannot overcome OP's assertion that they must not. Are we going to acknowledge that she's Jewish, looks Jewish, and never deracinated herself, and perhaps that is part of what underlies OP's entirely query? |

I don't see anything racist about OP's original post. I read it as misogynistic, not racist. It's SJP's body and she can do what she wants, but she went blonde and chopped her big, beautiful nose so I'm not sure why you mention she "never deracinated herself" |

For its time, it was enlightening. It was a new concept to show women actively talking about and engaging in sex in a way that was stereotyped as only for men. At least it felt that way watching it as a woman in my 20s at the time. I had conversations with friends back then about how liberating it was. Does that mean it meets the test of time when viewed through the lense of societal advancement 20 years later? Perhaps not. But it was a step in the staircase. Can also still remember talking with a friend about how "shocking" it was that the opening to True Blood blatantly showed a woman with visible cellulite thighs wrapped around a man. Also liberating for its time. Another step in the staircase. |
