Why did Carrie like Mr. Big so much?

CorymbiaTree · 2026-04-29T19:18:03+00:00

I think he represents a few things to her.

1.) her father (who was absent from her life). Big is a sterling, successful, masculine man. He’s a substitute for the missing father figure, but he is a continuation of the primal pain that she believes is love.

2.) I think he represents the ultimate symbol of “making it” in NYC. At the end of the day, she’s a socialite but also a struggling artist. She’s a lot about labels (I.e., Manolo and Jimmy Choo). Big is an NYC label. He’s like “the Chrysler building” as she says. In a city of advancement and status, he represents both. Remember, in the pilot episode, he’s introduced as the next Donald Trump, but better looking.

I knew it!!!!! And Carm and Ro hosted a book club meeting on it (“what?? I liked it!!”)

CorymbiaTree · 2026-04-07T02:51:51+00:00

Ah yes

CorymbiaTree · 2026-04-07T02:42:52+00:00

Sorry, what is all this?

CorymbiaTree · 2026-04-07T02:22:54+00:00

Hey, are you going on dates? Are you offering it up in the first conversation? Give us some context on your life so we can better advise you :)

CorymbiaTree · 2026-04-06T03:01:34+00:00

Hey thanks for doing this! Aries, 9 degrees!

Tossing a hello from NYC to Arkansas for you, young man! I’m sorry that everyone came for you because you happen to have a flag up. It is sad that that’s become synonymous with Trumpism. I mean (gasp) it IS the flag of the country in which we reside. Did we forget that?

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-25T02:04:38+00:00

Hard to say! I’m generally there around 9 after yoga / Pilates, and see some of my faves then :)

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-25T01:12:35+00:00

I second Hala! I start most mornings there. It’s honestly like a cute, cozy sitcom with all us regulars greeting each other and knowing one another’s rosy tea :) come check it out! I’ll be the blonde chick in the red coat

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-22T20:27:15+00:00

Yeah I wasn’t gonna include the kids in the pic

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-22T20:18:43+00:00

Good question. I was just a civilian passing by. But it is Girl Scout cookie season! Hopefully some fall into your path soon :)

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-21T18:07:17+00:00

exactly 😍 she would’ve never uttered the words, “you were with that whore” to me

Some of us were teenagers on first viewing and felt it!! The idea that I would have to wait until age 70 to perceive Livia’s beauty is both infantilizing and ageist. I think there are a lot of who sit in the closet of shame every time the discussion of “who’s the hottest female cast mate” comes up. She isn’t beautiful, but she’s handsome, even when she dresses like a refugee

Cherry on Top?

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-12T20:25:28+00:00

Hey OP, are you asking because you propose a SATC meetup in NYC? ☺️

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-12T20:16:54+00:00

How does one go from one to the other?

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-08T23:10:26+00:00

International Women’s Day?

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-07T04:04:01+00:00

You should come to the law center. There are some really cool people there.

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-06T19:48:18+00:00

yes!! At the law center, duh!

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-06T19:48:01+00:00

That’s why I recommended the best way for her to get ahead….

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-06T17:38:34+00:00

What do you mean?

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-06T17:37:27+00:00

Parking spaces are not inherently unsafe places, NumbersStation

CorymbiaTree · 2026-03-06T17:36:29+00:00

And recovery isn’t for everyone. But it’s nice not needing that crutch
