20 Memorable 'Sex and the City' Love Interests, Ranked By Dateability
Between Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte and six seasons of dating, there were quite a few boyfriends (and one girlfriend) on "Sex and the City." So grab your cosmos, ladies. It's time to rank the most memorable love interests, from worst to best.
20. Harvey Terkell
Um, this guy has a servant. That's just gross. And she's not even a nice servant. He'll always love his mean servant more than you and that's just not gonna work.
19. Vaughn Wysel
Writer Vaughn's picture-perfect bagel-eating, op-ed reading family is truly his only selling point. He's seriously insecure and has a problem, ahem, performing in the bedroom. Carrie told his mom Wallis they'd be dear friends for life, but we all know she probably said "new phone...who's this?" when she called her for brunch.
18. Wade Adams
Comic book store dude AKA Power Lad AKA Wade Adams isn't someone you want to take home to mom...because he lives with his! Sure, he had a sick apartment full of free lemonade and cookies, but the guy has to call his mommy before he stays over. And he'll rat you out to his parents when you get caught getting high.
17. Richard Wright
Richard is the worst! He has a smug, slimy look on his face almost all the time. And he's a liar and cheat. Samantha deserved better.
16. Skipper Johnston
Skipper is annoying and needy and he broke up with someone while he was having sex with them so he could be with Miranda. That's not exactly the best resume. But he was a website creator in 1998, so maybe he has tons of money now? Or maybe he was a victim of the dot-com bubble. Who knows. He'd probably do some nice romantic stuff for you if you could deal with the possibility of being broken up with during intercourse.
15. Ed
If you're into really old guys, Ed is like THE old guy. Wealthy, quick-witted, and attentive are all fine qualities in a man, but it's like they always say: "If you can't handle the sag, reach for your Fendi bag." They don't always say that, but don't you think Samantha should have uttered a corny line like that?
14. Bill Kelley
Oh, how we love John Slattery as a witty politico, but this relationship was doomed from the moment he asked Carrie to pee on him. Yours would probably be too if you're not game for his request.
13. Ray King
Ray gets points for being a jazz musician and living in a cool loft in Queens before Queens was cool. He's also pretty much the best sex Carrie's ever had, which is probably a good thing for women everywhere. But you literally cannot have a conversation with him. If communication isn't important to you, then he's the guy for you.
12. Jack Berger
It took a lot for me to not put Burger last on this list because he bothers me so much, but alas, I have to play fair. He broke up with Carrie on a post-it and that was plain awful. He wasn't secure enough to be with a strong successful woman and acted like a baby to distract from his shortcomings. And Carrie was right about that whole Scrunchie thing.
11. Mr. Big
A huge sorry to all you Big apologizers out there, but he is not a good guy! Carrie's no saint herself, but he jerks her around for a bazillion years and puts her through an emotional rollercoaster like its his job. Is it his job? We still don't know what he does exactly. We do know he makes a lot of money and can buy you closets full of Manolos, but that does not a partner make. Dump him? Abso-f--kinglutely.
10. Trey MacDougal
Trey isn't really all that horrible... if you're into stodgy, preppy guys who only listen to their mothers and have no sense of humor. If kids aren't a priority and you're fond of playing doubles in Connecticut, then he's the guy for you.
9. Sean
Sean has perfectly floppy hair and would take you on ice-skating dates, which is cute in a junior high sorta way. Carrie couldn't deal with his bisexuality, but we think he's kind of a catch if he ditches the bad hoodies and tees.
8. Aleksandr Petrovsky
The Russian won't exactly crack jokes left and right and he doesn't know who Billy Joel is, which is a bummer if you want to sing "Piano Man" at a dinner party. If romantic stuff is your bag, he's into poetry and opera and extravagant gifts. But he is a workaholic, so he might neglect you in a Paris hotel room while you're sulking pristinely in 1000 layers of fancy fabric. And you'll have to feign praise when he shows you his large scale light installations.
7. Maria
Maria is creative and passionate and enjoys sensual baths, which is nice? But we have to take points off for her jealous temper.
6. Aiden Shaw
Aiden has some very polarizing traits, which is why people either love him or hate him. He's jealous and possessive and acts immature when faced with conflict. But he does make furniture and keeps a rustic country cabin and is generally kind-hearted -- all maybe plusses if you're not Carrie Bradshaw. He doesn't really like going out, so there'd probably be a lot of Netflix and chill and KFC, which sounds pretty sweet! But we can't forget when he said "let's get Maui'd," which is just a big no.
5. Jeremy
Jeremy is funny and charming and likes picnics. Does it really matter if he was institutionalized voluntarily? He just wanted some peace and time to work some stuff out! We would all hole up with David Duchovny in the psych ward if we had the chance, right? There's pilates there!
4. Smith Jerrod
Smith is a really good person, but he's just not everyone's type. (What, you're not into babes with good personalities?). He's giving and understanding and cute to boot. If you're comfortable being with a celebritiy, then he's quite a catch.
3. Steve Brady
We're just gonna get the whole cheating thing out of the way and work backwards here. Yes, it sucks that he cheated, but he's STEVE. Steve has an adorable Queens accent, he's a total goofball softy, and he's a low-key hottie. And he would probably always have free drinks available. Marriage material right there.
2. Robert Leeds
Robert is drop-dead gorgeous and he's a doctor for a major sports team, which is a dream job you only encounter in rom-coms. He wears nice suits, makes enchiladas, and treats Miranda like a goddess. We're going to excuse the fact that he said "I love you" on a cookie because cookies are delicious.
1. Harry Goldenblatt
Ugh, does Charlotte even deserve Harry? He always says the right thing and seems like a lot of fun, so excuse us for finding him very attractive. He turned on the TV during Shabbat that one time, but if that's his biggest fault then whatevs. Harry is the best and nobody should take him for granted. You hear that, Charlotte?!
