I've never seen an entire episode of this show. Twice I've stopped by at a friend's and she had it on, and I saw about five minutes. Both times I was fairly repulsed and depressed by it. The more recent of the two featured the Sarah Jessica character trying desperately to get Mr. Big to introduce her to his mother. They'd been "dating" for months but he wouldn't introduce her. Finally she stalks them to church and corners them, where he reluctantly introduces her as "my friend."

All the agonizing, all the trying-trying-trying to get a man to commit to them... it was just painful to watch even those few moments.

Then my friend told me about the whole "He's Just Not That Into You" conversation that spawned the book by the same name. I was interested in the book, so I picked it up and read it... and it was The Rules but from a guy's point of view! Literally: men are the hunters, women are the hunted. So just hold still, look pretty, let him do the chasing, and if he doesn't chase hard enough, move on.

And that was depressing too, really, in its own way. So my current view is that feminism is a failure, the old fashioned me-Tarzan-you-Jane is dehumanizing, and I am taking a vow of celibacy for life and concentrating on keeping my house really, really clean.

With the exception of a cute any woman can relate scenario in the first episode I saw, I didn’t care very much for the show either. There was something about the SJP character that I found to be almost seedy.

It was also contradictory. Here these women wanted relationships, but anyone in a relationship, let alone a decent marriage was a villian or scorned.

Never saw the show, sat thru MAYBE 2 commercial previews of the show, didn’t even know they were making a movie.
Seemed like a bunch of whiners. I took a vow of celibacy years ago and my house is really really MESSY!

Don't forget cats...lots of cats...LOL!

(seriously, though, you're too pretty to worry for too much longer!)

How about this,
Take a vow of celibacy and read all the books that you’ve been wanting to read (housework is so boring ;) )

I just saw the pics in your profile. I would “commit” to you in a heart beat! I’d even help you do the housework too.

That has done so much harm to men-women relationships. Most single women I meet seem to have a core of anger to match their liberalism and lack of moral values. ugghhhh!

Where in the world are the nice, warm hearted conservative single women? :-)
