Raise your hand...How many of you went to see the randy yet romantic romp, Sex and the City: The Movie over the weekend?
Encompassing four wildly different dating styles, many of us have enthusiastically agreed and bitterly disagreed (and passionately screamed at the screen) over the years throughout the relationship misadventures of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.
The show prompted a mad dash for Manolos, a real-estate run in the Meatpacking District (Samantha’s then up and coming neighborhood) and a new found fancy for cosmopolitans, apple-tinis and other candy-colored adult beverages. But, in a study just released by Engage.com, we learn that the women of Sex and the City had an even bigger influence over the dating habits of adult singles. The poll shows that:
- 52 percent of singles say Sex and the City influenced their dating life.
- 36 percent said they borrowed ideas from Sex and the City and used them in their dating life.
- 55 percent of single women said Sex and the City influenced them to date more like men date
And, according to the men polled:
- 19 percent said it changed dating, as it gave women permission to play the field
Stop by Engage.com to see more results from the Sex and the City and Your Love Life survey.
As Carrie would say: “This made me wonder...” As much as I craved a great pair of shoes and a VIP invite to stylish shindigs, would I trade my romantic life for Carrie Bradshaw’s? Would you?

I agree that SATC totally changed how women date. It not only made it acceptable for women to be older than 23 and single--it made it (as Sam would say) FABULOUS. Now it seems so much more glamourous to play the field and defer all romance quiries to your girlfriends. I think that SATC made it ok to experience many different types of love and many different types of romance. Plus, the eye candy (both in footwear and would-be beaus)wasn't so bad either!
