"It's a guilty pleasure to see dating from the woman's side, even if some of the drama seems totally preventable. For example, the show explains my girlfriend's irrational behavior as just something women do sometimes. If she has a problem, she has to tell everyone but me and make me figure it out like we're playing Clue. The same thing happens on the show. Carrie can tell all of the other women at brunch her issue for 25 minutes of screen time before she finally gets around to telling Big." -Mitch, 23
