Shag, Marry, Kill. The Men of Sex and The City

Ok ladies, we’ve all seen the show…or maybe you live in a cave, in which case I will include pictures for your viewing pleasure. The gossip, the shoes, the torrid love affairs, and of course, the delicious men that made up said love affairs.

We have Jack Berger who broke up with us on a post-it note, but was still cute in his own shy, meek little ways. Berger is a writer, need I say more? Then of course we have Mr. Big who I feel like doesn’t even need an introduction but for those cave ladies, I’ll fill you in. Mr. Big, whose name we don’t learn until the end of the series is John (I called it from day 1), is a rich, successful, older man who can charm the pants (or skirt) off of anyone with just his grin. BUT he’s a major player, commitment phobic and an all around roller coaster ride. Then there is Aiden. Sweet, sweet Aiden. The all American country boy that would run into a burning building to save a cat. Aiden builds furniture and owns a bar. He’s the guy every parent wants their daughter to bring home.

These scrumptious men of SATC all have their plus and minuses BUT this is a game and I take games very seriously. So hypothetical gun to your head, you must chose. Who are you going to shag, marry and kill? (I just want to add that I put far too much thought into this).

Shag: Aiden, my sweet boy, this was a tough decision and probably not the best one, but I’ve never really made the best decisions when it comes to men. Aiden is cute as hell (I wouldn’t say hot) and he’s sweet and caring…but a bit too sweet and caring for me. Aiden seems like he wants to cuddle…a lot. And hold hands on the couch. He may even cry after s*x and I just can’t support that kind of behavior. I bet my parents would love him…I bet Aiden would even suggest we go visit them once a week for quality family time. To me, that’s just a lot. It’s a lot of emotion…not coming from me. It’s weird. Don’t be weird, Aiden.

He may be able to create beautiful things with his hands, but I don’t need a man that’s going to cry harder than me when Thomas Jay gets stung by the bees. So Aiden, you are a one and done. I’ll bring the tissues.

Marry: Is there really any surprise here that I chose to marry Big? The emotionally unavailable, mysterious, older, reserved, head case?! I didn’t think so. But he’s handsome as hell, has money, gets whatever he wants, when he wants and that’s that. Even though Big is going to put you through years of emotional turmoil, you’ll still always pick up that phone when he calls. You’ll still blow off your other plans when he last minute tells you he’s in town. Damn it, why do guys like Big always get my attention (probably a question my parents also asked a lot)?! But deep down he’s a softy (waaaay the hell down) and once you’re in good with him, he’ll protect you and keep you safe (and maybe pay for your years of therapy from dealing with his shit). Life with Big will be a total crapshoot and full trust will most likely never be there, but hey, this is the path I chose. If it doesn’t work out, maybe Aiden will be available…

Kill: This was the easiest for me. Berger’s gotta go. Berger is the guy that is always going to be searching for his niche. For his way. And you will be dragged along on every new venture and subsequent fail because well…he’s searching. He’s too whiny and too much of a moody Judy for me. He’s too all over the place all the time. And I truly have nothing else to say about him. He’d be killed before the first date.

So now I must know. Who’s your guy?!
