Though you may love or loathe ‘em, I’m an unabashed fan of the Sex and the City gals have had a ton of fun following them over the years. At the very least, I think they cracked open alternatives for women and posed some good questions about dating, love, sex, and relationships. As I was thinking about the opening of the movie a few weeks ago (heart palpitations), I wondered…what if one of the girls had dated an Indian guy?
I’ve toyed around with several senarios in my mind…who would be most accepting of the culture? Who would bend to Indian ways (if necessary)? Who would offend? (heh hem that’s easy…I love her…but Sam!).
What do you guys think? Are you a Charolotte, a Carrie, and how to those traits manifest and play into your intercultural relationship (if at all)???

Good question! I think Charlotte would be the most accepting and bend if necessary and do pretty well. And yeah – Samantha would definitely get in trouble BUT I think her confidence and fiery nature could also serve her well – she just wouldn’t let things bother her. (Btw, my favorite line in the movie was hers – when Carrie came out of her depression to say something funny and Sam said “Oh Honey! You made a joke! That’s so good.” So condescending – but absolutely hilarious! I think it was all in the delivery.) If Miranda hit any resistance I think she’d walk away in a heartbeat. And I’m not sure how Carrie would do – I know her materialism and narcissism would not score a lot of points with my guy’s family (but then again he does family members who are a lot like her in that regard.)
I think I’ve probably navigated my relationship like Charlotte might – keeping positive, open to change, yielding when necessary. However, that said – I don’t really think I’m much like her personality-wise – she’s way too naive and prissy to be like me.

Sorry, no comment from me on this one. I didn’t watch the series, nor have I seen the movie LOL.
