I'm just watching season one,and Carrie is annoyingly obsessed with Mr Big, hasn't she ever heard of treat them mean keep them keen?she even catches him on a date with another woman and she is still constantly chasing after him and doesn't seem that angry when he said he goes on other dates?
shareshe was truly pathetic.
shareMr. Big was the worst romantic interest ever. Mr. Big Bore. The guy barely spoke or smiled or seemed interested in anything. What was the attraction? His wealth? Pff, shallow. His looks? Nothing much there but a suit filler. Were they trying for a Mr. Darcy type here? They missed the point if they did. Even after he ditched Carrie at the alter, the only effort he made to reach out to her was through email. Weak!
shareI know, he was so arrogant and unlikeable. But I still couldn't feel any sympathy for Carrie,but poor Nathan on the other hand,he didn't deserve the way she treated him.
shareMr. Big had his flaws...and so did Carrie. But deep down, they were perfect for each other. In fact, in many ways...they were mirror images of each other. Sure, they knew how to push each other's buttons. And yes, they both played a lot of games...and danced around their true feelings for each other. But in the end, they had so much in common. They loved New York. They loved going out on the town and enjoying the city. They loved going out for a great meal, going dancing, doing quirky, classic things (like horse-drawn carriage rides...dancing to oldies....going to jazz clubs.....)
Plus, they cracked each other up--brought out the silly side of each other. That's when you REALLY know it's right--when you can be in the midst of a heated argument...and suddenly burst into laughter. I think Big was cooler than people give him credit for. And he came through for Carrie in ways she needed most. I loved the episode where...at the end of a crummy birthday, in which she was left hangin' at a restaurant by all her friends who never showed....she walked home alone, only to find Big waiting for her with a bundle of red balloons and champagne....and a Happy Birthday when she needed it most. He was cool like that.
Sure, it's easy to rubber-stamp him with various cliche labels. And neither Big nor Carrie were perfect. But they were perfect for EACH OTHER. And there's no doubt they loved each other. It just took a long time for them to finally admit it to each other.
I agree, they were perfect for each other.
I guess he had his good points too,she always saw the good in him.
shareYou answered your own question.
Wealthy and good looking. You can always divorce him and take a lot of his stuff when you get bored.
This comment is wildly inaccurate.
> The guy barely spoke or smiled or seemed interested in anything.
What about the episode when he is so deeply engrossed by watching a sports even on TV that he gets upset when Carrie keeps trying to have sex with him? In the second movie he is also shown to show interest in the stock market. He also loves old movies and classic records. He is shown to love chinese food and can cook. We are only shown the part of him that is relevant to his story with Carrie, but that does not mean he is empty.
> What was the attraction?
He has a power over Carrie because she perceives him as perfect. This is said out loud MULTIPLE times through the course of the show.
> Even after he ditched Carrie at the alter, the only effort he made to reach out to her was through email.
Untrue again. He called her dozens of times and left her messages, but when Carrie saw that, she simply threw her phone in the ocean.
