Questions Overview

1. Let's get started! Which of Carrie’s boyfriends is your favorite?
  1. The charming Mr. Big, a.k.a. John Preston. Their love story had its fair share of obstacles, but when it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.
  2. Outdoorsy furniture designer Aidan Shaw. Total golden retriever boyfriend!
  3. Writer Jack Berger: cute, funny, and they had so much in common. (OK, the Post-It note breakup was super uncool, but other than that…)
  4. Aleksandr Petrovsky. A brilliant and sexy Russian artist who’ll whisk you off to Paris? Swoon.
2. Of all Samantha’s love interests, who do you like best?
  1. Hotel magnate Richard Wright. Handsome, mature—OK, maybe kind of a scumbag. Don’t judge me!
  2. Actor Smith Jerrod. Super hot and utterly devoted! He’s the total package.
  3. Artist Maria Diega Reyes. Creative, passionate, and sensitive—and she challenged Samantha in valuable ways.
  4. None of them—why should she be tied down by a relationship?
3. Now for Miranda: which of her love interests is your fave?
  1. Comedian Che Diaz. Sure, it was a messy relationship, but when it feels right, it’s worth it to go all in.

More on Sex and the City

Sex and the City is an HBO rom-com drama TV series created by Darren Starr based on the newspaper columns and books by Candace Bushnell. The show centers on the lives of 4 New York City women in their 30s and 40s who are best friends, despite their very different personalities:

Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker. Carrie, the show’s narrator, is a sex columnist and fashionista. While occasionally irresponsible (both financially and in relationships), she’s insightful, creative, and devoted to her friends.

Charlotte York, played by Kristin Davis. Charlotte, an art dealer from a wealthy Connecticut family, is considered the most innocent, idealistic, and conservative of the foursome.

Miranda Hobbes, played by Cynthia Nixon. Miranda is a fiery, hardworking, career-minded lawyer. She can be a bit cynical about relationships and men, and she values her independence over just about everything, but she’s a loyal and protective friend.

Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall. Samantha works as a successful publicist. Generally considered to be the most experienced of the four, Samantha is confident, sexy, and adventurous.

The iconic show first aired in 1998 and ended in 2004, after 6 seasons, but its popularity resulted in 2 spin-off movies, Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010), as well as a reboot TV series, And Just Like That…, which aired on HBO in 2021.
