Does every woman have a Mr. Big in her life?

Brought to life by fiction, most of you ladies must be familliar with Mr. Big (played by Chris Noth) The question is however, do most women have a Mr. Big in their life? Either currently, or someone in the past who still holds that very cliche, yet true... "special place in your heart." More like, we are the ones that are powerless and completely, utterly consumed by this successful, gorgeous, yet arrogant commitment phobic man :)

In Sex And The City (SATC) Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) falls in love with Mr. Big who clearly has commitment issues and is ever so fickle minded. Mr. Big in SATC is one of those men who shudders at the thought of commitment yet, cannot see Carrie Bradshaw (his on-again, off-again girlfriend) with anyone else without sparks of jealousy setting off. Now, how well can you relate to that? I certainly can! There are men that just don't want to put a label on it, yet still think they can push their weight around and call the shots when you show interest in someone else.

Personally, Mr.Big represents that one man in your life, who you fell for, pined for and for no good reason, but it remains to be one that you will never forget. In the case of Sex & The City the movie, Mr. Big leaves Carrie standing at the altar on her own but as the movie unfolds, they do eventually get married in the end.

So for the sake of entertainment they do find their "happy ending". However, in real life... to love a man like that takes patience and a woman that is not emotionally so driven. So, in other words it's highly unlikely for most women to get that happy ending with your Mr. Big.

There are women out there that would patiently wait for the man to eventually come to his senses and realize that it doesn't get better than this and voila! A very rare happy ending.

And what is it about Mr. Big, even in the TV show that makes him so sexy? He's always suited up, charming yet witty. There's something about a succesful man, a gentleman, yet one with edge that we find sooo irresistable don't we?

Now, speaking from personal experience though, in my most cases Mr. Big ends up being that "one that got away" or "that one that never realized how much you loved him". It boils down to women ultimately always pining for that emotionally unavailable man doesn't it? What makes them so darn sexy? It's as if we love rejection, we love to just give, give, give and feel emotinally disconnected. Or is it just because we always want what we can't have?

This video of Mr. Big jilting Carrie at the altar as he succumbs to commitment phobic issues had me stunned. Every woman's worst nightmare..... this is why, Mr. Big should remain in just the past :) But, you just can't help but forgive them over time can you?




Stay tuned ladies, to see what happens between Mr. Big & Carrie Bradshaw in Sex & The City 2, showing in the cinemas June 1, 2010.
