SATC 2
With the release of "Sex and the City 2" just around the corner, I can't help but take a moment to reflect on how life has changed since the first movie came out. The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the financial meltdown, real estate prices down by 20% - New York City isn't quite the place it used to be.
While Wall Street is on a downward slide, I wonder if the same can be said about single women in the 30's. Are we already past our peak (which seems to be what some reviews have said about the SATC girls)? Famous cougars like Demi Moore and Susan Sarandon would seem to indicate otherwise, but are regular Janes out there without the celebrity status on a downward slide?
Perhaps, like all over aspects of life, it's individual. For those single ladies who still take care of themselves (i.e., continue to dress stylishly, workout and keep fit while fighting the change in metabolism that seems to kick in sometime in the late 20s/early 30s), the odds seem good that the best years are yet to come. Better jobs and more disposable income that come in your 30s plus more self awareness and confidence would seem to present more opportunities to become well round person and potentially meet more interesting single men. But for those that don't work (both at a real job and work at still looking good), perhaps those are the single ladies that are destined to have a tough time dating in their mid to late 30's. So for US, there's nothing to worry about, right? ;)
