Sex and the City For Men

I often wondered why men are so drawn to the television show Two and a half Men? I just didn't get it until a recent radio interview with a male jockey.

We were chatting about dating and relationships, a topic close to my heart, when he revealed how much he identifies with Charlie Sheen's character on the show Two and a half Men. "Have you heard of it," he asks as I roll my eyes. Heard of it? I suffer through it every week, I thought. I asked what was so appealing about the show and he lit up speaking breathlessly about how much he and Charlie are alike. Saying it's as if they wrote the script around his life.

It was at this moment that I got it. Two and a half Men is to men what Sex and the City is to women. I shared my relevation with my man and watched as the lightbulb went off in his head much like it went off in mine. Now we get it and now we sit through Sex and the City and Two and a half Men-together.
