Who's your man?

I am a certified Sex and the City follower, who isn't? I have watched every single episode up to this recent movie version. We can one way or the other relate to any of the 4 girls or their GBF's (Gay Best Friend) at least, the love lives, the friendships, clothes and those SHOES!!! One would never really understand what it is about women and their shoes as with men and their cars.

During a recent Bachelorette Party we threw for a friend with an SATC theme, I came around asking the ladies, who they liked better, Big or Aidan? ( Big is Carrie's husband while Aidan was the one who got away). Most women answered Aidan but that didn't stop me from wondering what is it with Big that made him so irrisistably charming and why would eventually a typical girl would choose Aidan over Big.

Big represents power, prestige, good looks and money. He can give your dream life (and build you a nice, big, closet) but He was commitment-phobic for a very long time. This is the type of guy who would always keep you on your toes until he tires and gets ready to settle down which may take forever. Aidan represents the typical Joe, sweet, easygoing, hardworking, nice, dude who may be ideal to get settled with type.

While there is something about power and prestige that makes a man very attractive, I would choose someone like Aidan, a typical, simple Joe, the real one, true thing, simply settling. A relationship with a potential to grow steady with less headaches and heartaches. Agree?  Who would you choose?
