Sex and the City - what has it done to dating as we know it
According to a recent study done by social dating site Engage.com, the series, and now the long anticipated and awaited movie, have had quite an impact on dating as we know it. It turns out that 80% of women find it more acceptable to have fun dating, while worrying less about finding a serious relationship. It seems women are also more likely than men to actually accept this.
Fifty two percent of women said they the series influenced their life, and 55% single women claimed the show influenced them to approach dating the way men do. Fifty one percent agreed with Samantha Jones' quote: "Who are we in bed is who we are in life. I've never met a man who was bad in bed who was good at life."
Thirty six percent stated they borrowed ideas from the show and used them on real life dating occasions, while 50% of study participants, mostly men, said they believed women who are big fans of the series are more likely to have sex on the first date. Yippeee!
Finally, 39% of women said they would end up with a woman friend as their soulmate, rather than with a man. Meanwhile, 59% said the show reminded them just how much their dating life depended on advice and perspective from personal friends.
Well, there you go. I don't know which group you'd fit into, but I personally found the series to be nothing more than above average entertainment with an occasional critical reflection on real life. I guess the good old fashioned "let's start with a chat, and see where life takes us" approach simply isn't a good enough anymore. If nothing else, from a man's perspective, at least more women are now willing to let go and indulge in sexual satisfaction on the first date.

Firstly you need to make the man work to get you, or he has to come to you. Mayer's past girlfriend Jessica Simpson followed him around like a slave. Mayer is the one who takes time out of his schedule at least twice a week to spend time with Jennifer. Dating advisor Constance Hoffman for upcoming TV show "Why You're Single" says that this is the best advice for any woman hoping to keep a man. She says, "As much as you want to let your fingers do the walking, don't. If he wants to see you believe me, he will contact you."
