i will miss you, sal.

i really find it hard to understand why people are so obsessed about carrie bradshaw. i've never watched a single episode of it until recently.
by relying on thousands of women wanting to be like her and dress like her and also several cultural references to the character, i would think that she's what every woman wants to be i.e. independent,successful, "stylish" and so on.
however, this is not true. well..at least to me it isn't.
i've not completed watching all the 6 seasons but it's pretty clear that carrie says that she has no idea about men or so she claims.
her words are usually along the line of  "men are confusing and they're the problem"
however, i feel that it's pretty obvious that she IS the problem in all her relationships. she's the reason mr. big and aiden both left her the 1st and 2nd time (or maybe more)
even in sex and the city 2 she managed to jeopardise her marriage by kissing aiden.
anyway, it puzzles me also that woman want to be like her. i may be saying this because i watch episodes back-to-back so her voice does become annoying and the things she does seem stupid but it's still mostly true.
so far, carrie can't cut mr. big out of her life although he is obviously bad news. this is apparently the main plot in all seasons i suppose because there will be that one stupid episode each season where she's in another relationship and then big shows up and then she's confused blablabla...
hence, what i have gathered from all my unorganised blabbering is that woman should not try to shape themselves to be carrie.

maybe try miranda.
