Why? It was the first of its kind to discuss sex and relationships so openly, of course. Liberating amongst its female viewers \u2013 and the fellas too \u2013 it gave us a sense of realism and acceptance (with our thought process often being, \u201cok, so everyone discusses penis sizes over cocktails\u2026 ironically\u201d.)<\/p>\n<p>Though we didn\u2019t know Carrie and co personally, they taught us a number of valuable life lessons and ones we so proudly use on the daily.<\/p>\n<h2>Relationships Don\u2019t Always Work The First Time Round<\/h2>\n<p>We all knew Steve and Miranda were the perfect couple, in fact they were the only two people NOT to know it. Through all their insignificant other halves and the beautiful red-haired Brady, we knew Steve and Miranda would somehow find themselves in each other\u2019s arms once again. The life lesson learnt here? That relationships are about trial and error &#8211; things may not always work out on the first run but you\u2019ll probably end up marrying him and moving to Brooklyn with Magda.<\/p>\n<h2>You Can Wear What You Want At Any Age<\/h2>\n<p>This lesson comes courtesy of none other than, Samantha Jones &#8211; who cared little for anyone\u2019s opinion on her lifestyle, actions and choice of clothing. Samantha promptly shuts down those who dared to question her ensembles and reminds us all that \u2018fabulous\u2019 comes in every age, shape and size. A lesson we all need drummed into us!<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s Okay To Be Both A Woman AND Successful<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that each of the girls struggled to find love, but having studied law at Harvard Law School and gone on to become a partner at her firm, Miranda struggled the hardest. Many of the dates she went on were intimidated by her successful career &#8211; not ok. I mean, Steve even ended their relationship because of it. But proud as she was, Miranda taught us all that being successful in your chosen field beats having \u2018the one\u2019 three times over.<\/p>\n<h2>Your \u2018Happy Ever After\u2019 Comes When You Least Expect It<\/h2>\n<p>Charlotte was in search of the perfect love. From the perfect guy to the perfect fairy tale ending. But when things with her first husband Trey fell to pieces, she found love in the complete opposite of her heart\u2019s desire, Harry Goldenblatt. Proving to women worldwide that the greatest love comes when you least expect it and often from the guy you wouldn\u2019t look twice at.<\/p>\n<h2>Dogs Have The Power To Fix Anything, Marriage Included<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re all well aware that dogs are instant mood lifters in addition to being our best friends, but this point was only proven further when Carrie\u2019s cohort Susan Sharon\u2019s marriage fell apart. She and her husband were at breaking point but found solace in one another once again, when Charlotte gifted them her dog\u2026 because in the words of Ms. Bradshaw the dog \u201csh*t all over her perfect world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Break-Ups Via Text Are Not The Worst Break-Ups<\/h2>\n<p>Who can forget the notorious scene where Carrie steps outta bed in search of Berger only to find a post-it note pinned to her laptop screen that reads, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, I can\u2019t. Don\u2019t hate me\u2019. Teaching women worldwide that being dumped via text, is not the worst thing in the world.<\/p>\n<h2>Always Tell Your Friends How You Really Feel<\/h2>\n<p>There were very few moments when the gang pulled up Carrie on her narcissistic behaviours. In fact it was almost infuriating at times. That is until Miranda called out Carrie for being a terrible friend when her back pulled. Sometimes telling your friend that they\u2019re being a sucky friend can actually make them a better person.<\/p>\n<p>(Although Carrie is exempt from the analogy as she\u2019s just an overall awful person IMO.)<\/p>\n<p><b>GIF source:<\/b> Giphy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Lauren Rae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[123],"tags":[3108,550],"class_list":["post-593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-us-2","tag-life-us","tag-sex-and-the-city"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Life Lessons We\u2019ve Learnt From SATC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"by Lauren Rae One of the most relatable TV shows of our time is Sex and The City.
