Meh, I think it just illustrated how similar women are to men. And it really showed just how bad some guys are at game lol.
When your incredibly airbrushed and tweaked "sexy" professionally-shot photo makes you look like a dude, you know you're ugly.

An insult to the nature by comparing FUGLYness to a Horse!
Well, her apartment wasn't exactly huge, and the conceit is that she'd been there since the 1980s and it was a rent controlled apartment - wikipedia claims there's some dialog saying she's been in the apartment for 20 years at whatever point in the series she says it. I've never lived in NYC, so I have no idea how true to life that all is.
In fact, her apartment and wardrobe figure in an entire plotline when one of her relationships ends and she may need to get a new place or buy he apartment back from her ex (who had bought it and the one next door from her landlord I guess) and she realizes she's actually broke (as in no savings whatsoever) and does the multiplication in her head and realizes she's spent more than the down payment she needs on her shoes. Miranda, the practical one, of course, is the one to point this out to her.
Later in the series and the films she's turned her column into a series of best selling books, writes for Vogue (maybe in addition to her newspaper column, I was never clear on that), and of course, marries fairly well. So money, at that point, is definitely not a problem (though she never gets rid of the apartment).
I loved the show and think it has one of the best series finales ever. I still think the first movie is rather superfluous given the way the series ended and just retreads old themes explored enough in the series. It's still fairly well written though, so I can enjoy it.
The second film is absolutely horrendous though, and I can see why it took them forever (and money) to get Kim Cattrall (Samantha) to agree to do it.
When I was really young (before the time of the internet), this show would come on late at night on HBO I think. I'd be so excited because I figured I'd get to have some spank material (based on the name of the show) which was hard to come by for a young lad of my age.
Sara Jessica Parker made me sterile.

Do their lifestyles have any basis in reality, or is it just a reality that is only experienced by a minsicule percentage?
Vaccuous, horrible, consumerist pile of shit that also - miraculously - did quite a bit to advance the modern female sex discussion.
I would attribute a massive part of the de-stigmatization of female masturbation to Sex and the City. Hell, the makers of vibrators the world over owe the show a massive debt of gratitude.
Slamming the movies is absolutely fair, but it's hard to be objective about the TV series for the above reasons. It's a relic and by today's TV/pop-culture standards absolute pig shit that diminishes women, but I'd also wager that the show did a lot to help to elevate those pop-culture standards in the first place. Like the (seemingly) over-the-top first-world gay pride movement explosion of a couple of decades ago, having a show that screamed loudly, "Yes women can have sex - even casual sex - and discuss it without shame," was quite an important thing.
Just don't ever be tempted to re-watch it now, out of context.
