She’s problematic, dresses like a drunk toddler in her moms closet, expects people to deal with her mistakes and on top of that has the nerve to be broke and maxing out cards for designer. Whew !

There is a lot to unpack (as described above) but for me it’s the fact that she is very self-centered. This could be because the show’s story is told from her perspective, but there are many scenes where her friends are going through real crises and she manages to always turn the conversation back to her own usually less significant problems. She is also quite judgmental for a “sex” columnist (she would be more accurately described as a relationship columnist). This could be a reflection of the time period in which the show was filmed (they didn’t handle LGBTQ dating, interracial dating, or anything outside heterosexual relationships well IMO) but still annoys me. Samantha and even Miranda/Charlotte were more open at times to different things in the bedroom.

Ladies, love to hear your thoughts. I’m in my late 20’s with a handful of close gfs (most of them live far) but I have a history of losing girlfriends. I’m self aware to a fault and am very supportive/responsive but other than my core group, it’s hard for me to keep gfs around other than 6 month span. It’s happening to me again right now and it’s really hard, she’s going through something and pulling away/towards others when we have been VERY close before. Anyone else have this experience?
