The appalling men in Sex & The City

I recently treated myself to the DVDs for all six series of Sex and the City and have been indulging myself with one or two episodes each evening.

I am currently with series 3, where Carrie meets Aidan. I recall how Sarah Jessica Parker was surprised when Jonathan Ross, on his show, said Carrie was very needy. She didn't believe it. But it's so true! It makes you cringe how she is with Big and Aidan.

I also got thinking about the various lovers. Somehow nearly all the men seem wrong to me. Aidan and Carrie never looked right together. I used to have doubts about Big but he just about pulls it off. Miranda and Steve, a big no. Personality-wise he is a good match, laid back to her control freak. But he looks shorter and somehow they just didn't look right together. Charlotte and Harry: no no no! And Smith and Samantha: ok for a one night stand, unlikely for a relationship.

Am I the only one who thinks this? What do you think?
