14 'Sex And The City' Quotes From Samantha Jones That Are Still EVERYTHING
Samantha Jones: The feminist we'll always need.
Since its raunchy release, Sex and the City has become a right of passage for women everywhere as we watch Carrie Bradshaw and her dearest friends discuss the mysteries of Manolo Blahnik shoes and men in New York City.
While each of them brought something different to the table personality-wise (making them each relatable to a certain extent), it was Samantha Jones who put the sex in the city (and wherever else she chose). It wasn't just because she amused us with her sexual escapades or her willingness and even preference to remain single.
Say what you will about the woman, but she knew her sh*t and she was feminist as f*ck.
In all her hilarious one-liners about sex, she also brought a certain wisdom when it came to sex, dating, and even sometimes love (as much as she tried to avoid the "motherfucker").
Resonating deeply with my singledom, Samantha is hands down one of my favorite and most real characters on the show.
And if I ever I needed dating advice from any of the ladies, there's no denying that I'd run to her first because even though she's perpetually single, she doesn't hold back. And from where I'm sitting (behind the TV), she's never been wrong. Well, at least when it comes to the lives of her friends.
She was ahead of her time with her openness and carefree attitude toward sex and dating, and by all accounts, she was the modern, sex-positive woman to look to back then. Truth be told, she still is!
Sure, we're more sex positive these days, but every now and again you need Samantha Jones to remind you that what you or anyone else is doing is their own damn prerogative — whether it's a good time you're looking for or love.
She's usually got all the answers to your sex woes and by answers I mean she'd tell you this: just do it.
Here are 14 Sex and the City quotes from Samantha that are still every bit relevant today:
If you're searching for the best quotes and memes to share with the people you love (or just want to feel inspired yourself) ... look no further! From the sweetest love quotes, inspirational sayings, and hilarious friendship truths, we've got you covered.
1.Screw You
The good ones screw you, the bad ones screw you, and the rest don't know how to screw you.
When you're single, it seems that options come down to these three categories, but it took Samantha to assure me this wasn't a figment of my imagination.
2.Monogamish
When you're the only single gal in your group, they tend to turn you into a sap for love and what not.
3.Ex Sex
...Or, if it's good, you keep dipping back for more and more until you have a situation-ship on your hands. I'm sure Sam has covered this in the 90s terminology or were they calling it a "situation-ship" back then, too?
4.Tough Love
Sam was in her 40s and hadn't quite figured the love thing out. What's a girl to do?
5.Get a Man? Why?
Amen. This is why I don't enjoy my hand or anything that's not battery operated. It simply requires too much manpower for one woman and that's not what I came for.
6.Never Forget
This was what Sam told Carrie before heading out to be "friends" with Big. When you're single it's easy (and even fun) to fall back into old habits and that's fine every blue, lonely moon, but just keep Sam's words in the back of your mind.
7.Wait For It
Before Beyonce, here was SJ telling you to put a ring on it.
8.P*ssy Power
You may not agree with the method, you may never use it. But, it's never your place to judge the next woman for leveling the playing field whenever and however she does so.
9.Dildo Dates
And it's never, ever late or inconsiderate.
10.What a Shame.
My vagina? It's sort of like God's gift so there's only so many times we can allow you to disappoint. But I'll always take the blame the first f*ck up because I was likely blinded by horniness.
11.Waiting is Worthless
All those books we keep reading that tell us guys sh*t on us because we didn't wait? Bullshit! I've waited. I've not waited. And it's usually the same outcome if a guy really likes you.
12.The Unspoken Truth
It's a shame more of us can't say this! Self-love and growth should always take precedent.
13.Grab 'Em by the Balls
Giving a B.J. is by far one of the most accessible power trips to take. And it costs you little to nothing.
14.Never Wrong
There's absolutely nothing wrong with knowing yourself and Samantha made zero excuses for it. Neither should we.
