The annoying problem with models

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

In this episode of the Sex and The city series, we have an important dilemma to be solved: do men prefer models or ordinary girls? Carrie is decided to write a column about it,after seeing how many people,specially women, feel bad about themselves after comparing their looks with a model's look. Samantha is the only person in the episode who really likes her body, and she even goes out with Barkley, a guy obsessed by models. Stanford has a thing for Derek,Miranda Hobbes stays very disappointed with Nick Waxler, a guy she went out and only likes to date models( and stays with Skipper again, after he confesses that he find her luminous!) and Carrie starts feeling bad when she discovers the big superficiality of people,specially when she sees that even Mr. Big thinks are going out with models.

But is beauty everything after all? No one better then Mr. Big's to answer the question in the last minutes: ''After some time, you do prefer a nice and funny women to be at your side''.
