Photo: Hbo/Darren Star Productions/Kobal/Shutterstock Sex and the City found me as a high-school virgin, and I clung to it like a staticky skirt on tights. It was my escape hatch through college , postgraduation , and, finally, my most important firsts — and then more relationships, better sex, and more disappointment.
As a single woman living in New York City, I turned 34 in October, and yes, SATC was indeed the first and only television show that exposed me to the kind of glamorous, exciting life I could make here — one filled with book parties for best-selling authors, hairstylists who give good layers, and exquisitely mixed cocktails.
SATC wanted to make single women in their 30s feel more seen and less alone. But that’s the point. Many single women in their 30s, even today, do feel left behind. Most of our friends are married and have children. We see one another less. We have fewer meandering, intimate conversations over brunch. The idea of four friends who stay both single and tightly bound well into their 30s feels almost as extravagant to me as the show’s iconic clothing budget.
Oh no, there is a phase of social menopause.
