Mikhail Baryshnikov. Sex in the city. 2

[@humanormachine2936]

I never found him particularly alluring, but as I get older, I'm increasingly attracted to him for his calm demeanor, creative mind, good taste, sophistication, and worldliness.

This was such an odd pairing, I never felt the chemistry between these 2. But have been a huge fan of Baryshnikov's work so I was happy to see him join the show.

[@iamsultana]

Really? I feel like the chemistry is oozing! One man Carrie didn't have chemistry with (imo) is Berger.

[@KishBish]

yes, this pairing was way weird.. she was never comfortable with him.. I hated her with him.. he was cold and condescending.. I respect him as a dancer in real life, but didn't like his character on this show at all..

They don’t match at all. She fit with Big perfectly despite him dissing her for years.

[@ninaalfa797]

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.

[@purpurina5663]
