    Translation for those who don't speak German:

  • goldennib · 3 years ago
    I like Aidan Shaw. First, he's just damn cute. Love a guy with a slow lazy smile. Plus, I like men to have standards, morals, ethics.
  • AWE · 3 years ago
    I am a cross between Steve Brady and Harry Goldenblatt because I have a shaved head, but I probably have the personality of Aidan.
  • miss anon · 3 years ago
    in theory, i love the charming and ever-elusive Mr. Big, however, in reality, i ain't havin' it.

    the best for me would be Aidan - lawed, i loves me some Aidan. i could just wrap myself around that huge frame of love for days ...

    lastly, why is he called Mr. Big, anyhows?

    Dr. Leeds was the only one I had to look up. Does that make me a woman?

    I'm probably closer to Big than anyone else. I like the finer things in life and have zero problem spending the money for them. I'm not as charming but I have the closed-off-from-emotion thing down pat.

    I can be a knight in shining armor providing it doesn't require a commitment.

    This evolved from Aidan. I used to be the guy who fell in love and was charming and lovable in return, but like Aidan, I always got crushed and hurt.
  • Blondie · 3 years ago
    I was IN LOVE with Aidan Shaw character!!! Everytime she went back to Mr. Big I was like NOOO!!! I know it is who here heart belongs to...but...but..still!!! haha
    Mr. Big always seemed to come off as cocky to me...like he always thought that there was prolly something better out there :-( DUH...this was Carrie!! haha
  • Nics · 3 years ago
    I loved Aidan, Smith and Jack Berger because he was a bit awkward. Are there men out there like Berger but without his inferiority complex and inability to sleep without noise?
  • Tonito Bandito · 3 years ago
    Smith Jerrod for me too, please.

    And Thank You!!!! Mwah!
  • Sid · 3 years ago
    Aidan. It was all about Aidan for me. He was huge! And sweet! And loved the hell out of her. I still think Carrie is retarded for ending up with Big. Even though I think Big was quite attractive. He was a shit. So...yeah, AIDAN.
  • MamaChristy · 3 years ago
    Mr. Big was the only one Carrie could end up with, but I woud have dropped him like hot potatoe when things went arwy the first time. I don't put up with that kind of behavior - I have too much self respect. I was so glad when he finally realized that Carrie was such a great girl.

    Miss Anon - Big was called "Big" because he had a, um, big talent, so to speak. You didn't find out his real name until the final moments of the last episode...

    My J is a cross between Steve and Aidan. Warm and reassuring without the games.
  • miss anon · 3 years ago
    i just looked online and found out that Big was called such because:

    "In the very first episode Carrie's friend Samantha Jones identifies him as "the next Donald Trump," and Carrie immediately tags him as "Mr. Big." He retains that appellation throughout the series: Carrie never addresses him directly (by name or nickname) in any of their scenes together, and within her circle of friends he is always referred to as "Mr. Big" or simply "Big." When a few instances arise requiring Big to announce his name, such as being introduced to an acquaintance of Carrie's, something interrupts the process (e.g., someone spills a drink on him)."

    ... so, is it more than that, or just an alusion to that, implying this is what always keeps her coming back to him?

    I'll take Aidan anything day of the week and twice on Sunday. BUT, the most recent one I dated before my wonderful current boyfriend (a DEFINITE Aidan-like lovely) was SO Mr. Big that watching the episodes where he slowly broke Carrie's heart would send me into a sobbing fit of rage, where I would silently yell at her for letting him do that, while I sat stunned knowing I was allowing someone like him to do that same exact things to me. Fucking Mr. Big.

    At the end of that series, when I found out she ended up with Big, I was happy for her in a "glad she's not MY friend" kind of way. Because you know what my next thought was after that? "If there was a seventh season, we'd be watching that a-hole move back to NYC only to drag out all his old tricks and break her already trampled-on heart all over again." DAMMIT, Carrie!!!!! ;o)
  • Anhoni Patel · 3 years ago
    It's true - all girls doe want to do Mr. Big. I had a boyfriend exactly like him. *sigh* such a bad move.

    I think Steve is awesome. Not my type, but awesome. I like Aidan - he was very sweet and cool and down to earth.The the kind of guy than could make you swoon but the kind of guy that would treat you really well and who you should be with.
  • Jay · 3 years ago
    I had the BIGGEST crush on Aidan. In fact, in my iPod are four episodes featuring his amazing short-haired return to the series.

    -licks lips-

    But I must admit Mr Big is a lot more fun. And Jack Berger is sexy too.

    Wait, today's question is which character I'm more like, isn't it?

    Um, I dunno.
  • MamaChristy · 3 years ago
    Jay - I had you pegged for a Smith jerrod kind of guy...
  • Homosexual Suspect · 3 years ago
    Ok, gay or not, I am not like Stanford or any of the gays in the show. I would say I was a cross between Berger and Aidan- cool, but also quick to temper and sensitive and dorky.

    Dating wise, fuck it, I'd go for Mr. Big. Fuck me, fuck me over, and then fuck me again. God love him.

    Excellent topic, Stolie.
  • ET · 3 years ago
    Aidan.
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    WOW!! First, I just want to say that I'm actually surprised by the number of people who really really really like Aidan. In TVland, he's the winner. In life, I'm not so sure that he's the guy that we all go for ... And, not to mention, I know a few guys (Le Canadian, is a prime example) who started out like Aidan, but turned into Mr. Big after getting screwed over one woman too many. Conversely, I know a lot of women who were once sweethearts like Charlotte, but they morphed into cynical Mirandas because they, too, were screwed over by one man too many. Ahhh life ... It's not as easy as it looks on TV either ... By the way, big fat thanks to everyone who commented yesterday. Each of the comments were are so goooooood ...

    ChrisWoznitza: And, ich bin ein Berliner! ;) Okay, okay, just a little history joke there. I’m not really a jelly donut, I’m an American.

    Pegs: Danke!! :)

    goldennib: Aidan is a cutie. But, I was *TOTALLY* turned off during that episode where he eats chicken and makes Carrie rub his belly. YUCK!!!!

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... Bald men are sexy. ;)

    miss anon: See, everyone loves Aidan!

    Carlos: No, it does not make you a woman. Sex and the City is a really good show; it’s okay to like it. By the way, are you sure that you and I never dated? From the way that you describe yourself, you sound like at least two of my exes. :) And, about the Aidan-to-Big evolution, you aren’t the only guy. Le Canadian used to be the biggest & sweetest nerd in the world. But, many years ago, he got shit on by one ex in particular and he was never the same again. Voila Mr. Big! I once told Le Canadian, “I wish I met you before that other girl got to you.” His response? “I wish she wouldn’t have ever gotten to me.”

    Blondie: The odd thing is ... on the show, I too hate Mr. Big. And, I hate Richard Wright even more. But, when I look at my life, those are exactly the kinds of guys that I date.

    Nics: Glad to hear that I’m not the only Berger-lover. I think he is really funny. And, I actually liked him a lot until he pulled the Cave Man act. Me man. You woman. You book sell more copy. You make more money. Me pissed.
    Tonito Bandito: YES!!! YES!!!!YES!!!! Smith is a fucking hottie.

    Sid: Big is cute on the show, but have you SEEN Chris Noth without makeup? I could fit my laundry in the bags under his eyes!!! But, God bless him for not having surgery, I guess.

    MamaChristy: I’m sad to say that I have put up with the Mr. Big shit for much too long. But, really, I’m trying to change. Hmmm ... so, J is warm and reassuring without the games? Sounds like you found yourself a winner!

    Miss Anon: Isn’t Mama Christy great???

    AmyD: Hmmm ... Maybe I take back what I said earlier about Mr. Big. Plenty of women date guys like that for a while, but it seems that women eventually settle down with guys that are more like Aidan.

    Anhoni Patel: I used to think that Steve wasn’t my type, but I think that might be the kind of guy that I need after all. Aidan was a good guy, but I never thought that he was sexy.

    Jay: Seeeee, Mr. Big’s appeal is that he’s a lot more fun. Aidan just isn’t “sexy”. He doesn’t have any X-factor. Did you see the movies “Raising Helen” and “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”? He’s in both of those and I don’t think he’s hot there either. I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t drink the Aidan kool aid. Steve, yes. Aidan, no.

    MamaChristy: I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Jay would be all over Smith Jerrod (and his dick) if he had brown hair and brown eyes. I think I remember Jay saying that he’s not a fan of blondes.

    Homosexual Suspect: YAY!!! I’m so glad that you stopped by the blog. You *have to* go to the next blogger event. :)

    ET: Nope. I’m still not drinking it. :)
  • Sid · 3 years ago
    Stols: Ha, I don't think I would ever pay attention to a guy's under-eye bags. Chris still looks okay to me in that shot. I mean, the guy is pushing 50, isn't he? That ain't bad. But I like my boys rough around the edges. Which is prolly why I like Aidan. (BTW, I think he is sexy, and a character like that would be appealing to me in real life, too! But I'd be quite happy with a man built like a lumberjack who does manly things like hew wood. It might have something to do with my most beloved father-figure, my gramps, who seriously rebuilt my grandparents' house with his own two hands so it could accomodate their 9 children. The man is 84 now and guess who's doing all the necessary renovations? That kind of rugged competence has filtered in to me as the way a man should be, I guess.Er, not that under-eye bags reflect confidence. Hm. I seemt o have gotten off track.)

    AIDAN FOREVER!
  • Sid · 3 years ago
    Competence. I meant competence. I think the stupid fruit diet i'm on has scrambled my brain. Hmph.
  • Mitch · 3 years ago
    Hey Stolie,

    Sadly, I'm probably Aidan - who always seems to get burned or not end up with the girl...

    Mitch
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    Sid: Wow, is he really close to 50??? Amazing. Kim Cattrall (the woman who plays Samantha) is 52. Aging, it works differently for different people I guess ...

    Mitch: Check your email.
  • Anonymous · 3 years ago
    am i the only one that LOVES THE RUSSIAN?!?! Aleksandr Petrovsky woot woot!! * yum :D *
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    I liked the Russian until he hit Carrie in the final episode. But, you know, I think the show's writers just threw the "slap" in so that we'd all want Carrie to choose big instead.
  • Carlos · 3 years ago
    Stolie, I'm fairly sure we've never dated. I'm friends with all my exes except one and I know you're not her. :)

    Of course the next time I'm in NYC, we can get drunk together and make sure.

    The problem with being a former Aidan is that every now then it peeks through and the right girl at the right time will be able to take advantage of it and crush me again.
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    Drinks? Yes. Getting drunk together and making sure we're not exes? No. :)

    And about what you said about getting crushed ... oh sweetie, be more like Aidan. Didn't you see all of my female readers take their panties off and throw them at their computer screens when they talked about how much they like Aidan more than big?
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    Sounds great!!! :) When are you in town again?

    About the vulnerabilty thing, I'll admit it -- I like a man who is a little bit submissive. And, I mean, a *LITTLE BIT*. I don't like people (men or women) without backbones. Having said this, I have to add: I don't want to destroy anyone. Spank? Yes. Destroy? No.
  • Carlos · 3 years ago
    I'll let you know through email when I'm in town next. I'm currently targetting the second weekend in June, but it will be determined by what city I'm working in at that time.
  • stolie · 3 years ago
    Sounds good; just give me a heads up and maybe you, Sid and I can hang out when/if we're all free at the same time ...
