Bella July 20, 2014 Share July 20, 2014 Carrie is spending all her time with Mr. Big, and then finds he's not being exclusive, which she can't handle. Miranda has broken up with Skipper, but when she sees him out with another woman, she tries to get back together, on a non-exclusive basis, which he can't handle. Samantha goes apartment hunting, supposedly with a realtor on an exclusive basis, but actually continues to use others. We're supposedly opening this up on Mondays, but my schedule has gotten weird, so just have at it - if you've rewatched and have something to say, the thread is yours. Link to comment
Hanahope July 21, 2014 Share July 21, 2014 There's the quote: "You're breaking up with me while you're still inside of me?" I wonder if Carrie's friends pay for all her meals at these nice/fancy NYC restaurants. Another reminder that Charlotte is a one-position type woman, hah. Still, kindof hard to believe a guy would be that insistent over getting a blow job, and insist it was a deal breaker right then. Can't believe Miranda didn't realize that Skipper was so infatuated by her. Skipper, you're an idiot in how your treated your girlfriend. Carrie, maybe you'd be perceived as more of the 'stand still' type of girl if you weren't always wearing 'fuck me' dresses on your dates. 1 Link to comment

Given the Internet fervor today over a woman posting an email she received from her husband where for an entire month he tracked and compiled the data in an Excel spreadsheet all the ways she rejected sex with him, I can totally buy that a man (any man, many men) would consider it a deal breaker if he didn't get head from the woman he was dating. My take on the matter is totally Miranda--I give to get. Or, as I said to my girlfriends during one conversation about this very topic: "Give and ye shall receive." As for the way Carrie dress--she can't want to like to look sexy and still want to be in a monogamous relationship? Are the two mutually exclusive? 2 Link to comment
Maherjunkie July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 Maybe the sex on first date thing is more likely to put you in that category. Link to comment
Inquisitionist July 22, 2014 Share July 22, 2014 I haven't seen the episode for a while, but I found the closing scene on youtube. Mr. Big should have run away screaming. 1 Link to comment

ShellSeeker July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 (edited) I didn't think the content of the discussion at the party wasn't out of line, but the timing of it was. You don't ask the question, "Just how many women are you dating?" in the middle of a bunch of people at a cocktail party. You save it for when you're alone and have a bit of privacy, and then put it out there. It's not unreasonable to want to get your expectations aligned (for lack of a better word) with those of the person you're dating, but it is childish and immature to just demand to talk about it right then and there. But the drunken phone call was waaayy over the line -- even so, it's still in the realm of being understandable. Drunken dialing, anyone? I'm lucky enough to have never actually done it, but oh man I have come very, very close a few times. But expecting Big to drop everything and come get her at 3 AM was just crazy, and it's hard to believe that he actually did it. Maybe he was worried about her out drunkenly meandering the streets at such a late hour. Edited July 25, 2014 by Queasy-bo 4 Link to comment
Maherjunkie July 25, 2014 Share July 25, 2014 Especially since she didn't know the front from the back! The question was not unreasonable, but it seemed like they just met when she asked, or not too long after. Link to comment
Inquisitionist July 25, 2014 Share July 25, 2014 The question was not unreasonable, but it seemed like they just met when she asked, or not too long after. I know the first season was rather compressed (only 12 episodes) but I agree that this all felt very rushed and premature. 1 Link to comment

The party wasn't the time to bring it up, even if she was bothered by 1) the other woman slinking up to Big and 2) the other dude thinking that Carrie was some other woman. But I think it was definitely something she should have broached once they left. 1 Link to comment
andromeda331 August 5, 2014 Share August 5, 2014 The question was not unreasonable, but it seemed like they just met when she asked, or not too long after. This is what I thought. It seems like they've only been going out a few times which to me always seems too soon to discuss whether or not your going to be exclusive yet. If they had said something like how long Big and Carrie had been seeing each other that might have helped. Obviously, Carrie was upset to see him with another girl so I don't know why she didn't just ask him the next time they talked? Link to comment
Gothish520 March 11, 2018 Share March 11, 2018 Charlotte, oh Charlotte...no head, really? Giving or receiving? I gotta be honest and say that would probably be a deal-breaker for me too. 2 Link to comment
