I think Sex and the City did some good making sex more open to talk about, but also put a lot of unrealistic expectations out there. Maybe it was already like this, but the show perpetuated the problem.
Four young extremely successful women living in New York, dating and dumping guys for often very little reason, while chasing the "perfect guy". They even mention how few eligible single guys there are, and at a few points that they themself may be the problem for not finding mr perfect, they quickly carry on.
Carrie Bradshaw is obsessed with Mr. Big. But when he doesn't live up to her expectations, by not reacting or saying something other than she expect, she flips out and have a near mental breakdown. She acknowledges this behaviour, but never once seeks to solve it or talk to him about it.
The amount of times I've meet girls here in Denmark who reefer to someone as "the Miranda" or "Charlotte" of their group just means the show has stayed with a lot of women as something to identify with... which is a problem when its a show about fiction.
