Why So Many Women Love Carrie Bradshaw

Why So Many Women Love Carrie Bradshaw

Sarah Jessica Parker explains why she thinks so many women adore the <em>Sex and the City</em> character

There's a reason so many women were drawn to Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, says Sarah Jessica Parker—and it wasn't just to see what crazily chic (or chicly crazy) outfit she'd whip out next.

SJP told Harper's Bazaar U.K. that she thinks women loved Carrie because "she was a really good friend. That's why they can forgive those very apparent flaws and selfishnesses. She was a deeply devoted friend, and I think women really respond to that kind of connection. I think we all want it, we all work towards having it, and we're not always the very best friends we can be. … It's kind of surprising to say, but in a way, [Sex and the City] was a more innocent time. I think so much reality television—and the women that dominate culture today—are pretty unfriendly towards one another. They use language that's really objectionable and cruel and not supportive. I like to remember that Carrie and the other woman in Sex and the City were really nice to each other."

We're inclined to agree, SJP.

Your pals just plain make life better, and they're even good for your physical health. So it's important to be kind to them. If you want to make new friends like Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda—or simply strengthen your already-existing friendships—use these pointers:
