What that he slapped her around the face , for her asking to get to see him , initially the Bob joke was funny , until he was so particular about how she pronounced his name

To be honest , I do not find anything in common between Alexander and Carrie, and I was surprised he pursued her given the ignorance she showed off the bat ( that phone scene alone , I had second hand embarrassment of how Carrie behaved because some one with an accent called her, how condescending ) He is a sensitive, smart, cultured, creative and a man of few words and is brutally honest , these are qualities that you appreciate in a man as you grow older. Carrie on the other hand is materialistic, shallow and cynical and does not know what romance and proper courting is if it hits her in the face. It is sad how the show portrayed his character in later episodes to prepare for Big’s return into Carrie’s life. But true, the man who matches her ( in all her imperfections) is Big, not Alexander ( nor Aidan for that matter). These two “deserve” each other.

I remember watching White Nights when I was very young. I was very impressed with the dance routine he did with Gregory Hines. European men have a seriousness and confidence often lacking in American men, as well as a worldly sophistication. A certain type of woman finds these qualities very attractive especially when balanced out with a good sense of human and dry wit that is, on occasion, self-deprecating.

Aleksander was my favorite SATC boyfriend! So sexy and sophisticated!

The rest were just pathetic.
