Although I never watched the series, I did catch a few episodes here and there because all the women I knew at the time LOVED Sex and the City.

I much preferred Aiden over Mr. Big because Mr. Big is the epitome of all the sexist alpha male tripe that was fed to boys and girls at that age.

We see the echoes of that shit still today, playing out in cities across the US today. I got nothing against a successful man but the measure of a man IMHO is determined by how well he treats the people around him. Anyone can be a big Prick and excuse the behavior for success, maybe that's why he was Mr. Big.
