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.
@Earth League tbh I never understood why Americans struggle so much with foreign names, I'm Russian and speak English more or less without accent why couldn't she pronounce a simple name? xD
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.
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..
The very questioning of their chemistry was the whole point! On paper - he was perfectly for Carrie, but the practicalities of both their worlds coming together was a huge, HUGE no-go. (Womp, womp).
I love seeing Baryshnikov here or anywhere, but the pairing of these two characters is mixing gold with tin. Carrie is much too immature and superficial for someone like Alexsandr.
lol, good luck... men like that know what effect they have on women and are therefore insufferable when not charming. Notice how the master player said: "I think about what can happen today, tonight... what MAY happen tomorrow" That's not to excite you, it's a warning! You do not exit such relationships unscathed...
Unless you too think about what can happen today, tomorrow. There are such women as well, "they have the same effect on men". Sometimes wrong people meet wrong people
Pay attention - a narcissist will always find a way to make you feel bad about yourself, even in the most subtle of ways. Example - Carrie - ‘I write a column for the newspaper’ Alexander - ‘Congratulations’ 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨
and he has sagging ass that you get s sneak preview through his face. Carrie was so desperate then. She traded her life for a fantasy, Beauty and the Beast.
YES!!!! why aren't more people seeing this?!?! they are caught up in his accent or maybe who he is in real life.. but he was NO GOOD for Carrie.. I honestly found him to be far more toxic than Big!
@@KishBish I think you hit the nail on the head! Your exactly right. I think people ignore his behaviour because women are so used to toxic men like this and we’ve all been in relationships with these men that this almost seems normal. Definitely agree that he was worse than Big! Big just has commitment issues, he wasn’t toxic and he would never hurt Carrie like that.
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.
@@shivapejman8155 absolutely. They don't have girlfriends, they have assistants. Exactly like in the series, it's their way or the highway. Fascinating and enriching as the experience can be, I don't envy the women who renounce their life to be near them
@@captaincrunch784 yea then when she talks about what she does for work he gives that snide remark "... Congratulations." I didn't really catch the attitude in the beginning but after revisiting this scene yes he was.
Captain Crunch he’s a typical famous artist. I’m an artist myself and the more famous they become the more rude and difficult they become. I’m not famous yet.
@@captaincrunch784 you know what's douchey? Getting a person's name wrong because you can't be bothered to learn any other language. Why should we have to put up with you mangling our names?
What that he slapped her around the face , for her asking to get to see him , initially the Bob joke was funny , until he was so particular about how she pronounced his name
I remember watching White Nights when I was very young. I was very impressed with the dance routine he did with Gregory Hines. European men have a seriousness and confidence often lacking in American men, as well as a worldly sophistication. A certain type of woman finds these qualities very attractive especially when balanced out with a good sense of human and dry wit that is, on occasion, self-deprecating.
He is quite rude. He was rude to Charlotte when he first met her and Carrie. And he sarcastically says congratulations when she tells him she's a writer.
I felt that they didn’t have a connection at all . It was so strange to see the romance being forced . Carrie knew he wasn’t for her but I guess she was tired of being alone and just wanted some companionship
Yeah that’s what worked about them- the palpable discord and air of something that could never last. It was interesting to watch because they had no business being with each other. Two totally self-absorbed people. He makes no secret of it; she hides behind a curtain of false empathy. The only relationship in the show that I actually found watchable. The rest were just pathetic.
I find this character's aloof demeanor unattractive, but I guess that is a trait which some women are pulled to. I liked Steve the best out of any character on this show, personally. I thought he was the most realistically written. Carrie looks lovely here though! Love that flapper-esque dress, very glamorous.
Steve is lovely, but I always preferred mr big. I suppose I’m a masochist. Im probably just as scared of commitment as he is though. So we’d be ok I think.
@@mirawenya I think you'd never be attracted to each other. It's usually the clingy ones like Carry that see the appeal in the emotionally unavailable.
I personally find Harry and Steve most attractive. Then again, personality-wise, I am like a mix between Charlotte and Miranda... Smith is obviously the most gorgeous of them all but I could never match him physically.
I know i'm in a minority here, but i never warmed to Petrovsky at all. I thought he was rude to her, cold, unfriendly and then he hit her. Aiden was lovely though.
Yes, you're right. He wasn't truly rude. He wanted to be a full owner of her. Her body, her soul. He wanted to possess her 100%. And that didn't suit her.
Women need to pay attention to early signs more. She met him at his preferred time and that was a sign that he was inherently self centered and wouldn’t bend for Carrie whatsoever.
@@stefania471 No, slaps are never ”accidents”. You can call a slap a *mistake* however, if you want to down play what happened, (which you shouldn’t, because DV is a serious problem) since most violence in the world essentially is unnecessary in the majority of cases. But to call it an ”accident”, as if he just happened to fall with his opened hand right on Carrie’s cheek, is nothing but wrong.
This reminds me of my life now. A man from Poland wants me to come there and meet him. He buying the round trip plane ticket. We met on Instagram. And of course we’ve done FaceTime etc. I’m a gay male. He’s much younger than me and he’s amazing and everything I’ve ever wanted in a man but he could be crazy or evil and he’s hiding it well or he’s just not mentally ill or evil. I’m not sure if I want to go there and meet him and I may regret not going but I don’t want to live in a country that’s on the other side of the world and not know anyone there except him.
@@amandacosta1566 I told him I could not come to Poland. We stoped talking for a while but he has been texting me and staying in touch. He knows I will never go to Poland. It’s ironic that I’m an artist and he not. So that makes me like the Russian and the Polish man is Carrie.
no tendrían que haberlo vuelto violento para justificar que tenían que terminar para que Carrie este con Big...es obvio que el no es asi....medio forzado ese giro de guion....es mas copado este!
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.
@Earth League tbh I never understood why Americans struggle so much with foreign names, I'm Russian and speak English more or less without accent why couldn't she pronounce a simple name? xD
@Earth League that makes no sense.
And no humor
he's my fav love interest in this show for those reasons. clever artist.
I love him so much in this film !!! Sexy and romantic even older !!!
And his alluring eyes !!! Gentle yet so masculine !!!
The sexiest man in the entire series, but completely unsuitable for Carrie
This racist cold thing?😂😂
Даже здесь русский все испортил. Творческий, но не в любви .
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.
Really? I feel like the chemistry is oozing! One man Carrie didn't have chemistry with (imo) is Berger.
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.
The very questioning of their chemistry was the whole point! On paper - he was perfectly for Carrie, but the practicalities of both their worlds coming together was a huge, HUGE no-go. (Womp, womp).
I love seeing Baryshnikov here or anywhere, but the pairing of these two characters is mixing gold with tin. Carrie is much too immature and superficial for someone like Alexsandr.
I'm totally in love with her dress ! 😍😍
My favorite dress of the whole series!
Amandine Raganelli I’m in love with him :)
Lisa M the nude dress was the best.
She's wearing her pijamas, lovely pijamas😅😂.
One of Carrie's very rare displays of good taste.
Just love the gentle piano theme plinking in the background of this scene, so soothing and romantic to listen to, really lovely.
"Call me Bob" I love him so much😂😍
That was so funny! He's the best!
Only comfortable line in the script
How are they even together? Carrie doesn't appreciate anything.
I was young and foolish when I watch this for first time! He’s so charming 😇😍
This man has a different aura about him
Hives a very secure feeling
Honestly this one was the cutest of Carrie's men.
actually she looks the best with this haircut
He is so handsome but I think he would intimidate me.
I agree... Me too. hehehe.
Exactly, so smart, intelectual, cult, rich, make art, o shit!! Why Carrie stayed with him.
Yes he would intimidate me as well, but that is exactly why I would love every second of it. I find him so damn sexy and intoxicatingly seductive.
I just don't see it. He looks like Paul McCartney. He's quite patronising and not sexy at all.
@@charlottebruce979 Paul McCartney is lovely. Aleksandr Petrovsky, on the other hand, isn't. He comes across as very arrogant.
I wish I could find my Petrovaky some day, he is totally my type❤️🌹 serious, romantic, artsy and knowledgeable.
A narcissistic, sexist, holier than thee, pushy, needy, unsensitive psycho ?

He's also pushy, arrogant and annoying
Petrovaki lol
I wish I could see there whole scene, especially when Aleksandr insists that Carrie put the banana in her purse. I LOVE that part! :)
I would love to meet mikhail bryshnov! !! I saw him dance in little Rock, arkansas in 1983.thank you for the memories! Love, jenifersuzannesmith
Lucky! I have loved him since White Nights came out in theaters. Hope to see him perform in a play one day..
The scenes with him are the most romantic!!
Pay attention - a narcissist will always find a way to make you feel bad about yourself, even in the most subtle of ways.

Misha is very sexy and works very well in scene, besides being the best dancer in the world.
He's truly incomparable!!
Да с этим этим не поспоришь Михаил Барышников лучший!
Uuuggggghhhhhh Carrie's dress tho 🥺😩❤
he was by far my favorite character, I would totally date him, he so serious that is sexy
+pamela reyes He is appealing because he comes from a culture that uses birth control.

Glad I found this comment. Agree on all points. Alexandr would find her philistine and shallow.
How could THIS MAN even noticed her. He's like... holy fuck.
+Lilly Jones He liked her because she was not impressed by the artist or who he was.
Plus have you SEEN how russian women look?
@@LeWildSister as a Russian myself i'm interested)) How?
@@Lana_mind Way more beautiful than Carrie. They don't have horse faces.
@@muppetlove77 women who put down other women are the worst of vermin

He was my favorite out of all the men she dated. I was sad they didn't work out.
That dress is beautiful
Misha. My favorite Russian.
There’s no room to breathe with someone like him
He’s awesome.
@@shivapejman8155 I have met some artists like him and trust me, in real life it’s both illuminating and torture.

He’s gorgeous.

What that he slapped her around the face , for her asking to get to see him , initially the Bob joke was funny , until he was so particular about how she pronounced his name
I would go CRAZY for a man like that !!!!
this outfit!!! it's irresistible!!!
Choosing Big over Mikhail Baryshnikov is absolutely crazy, Carrie had no taste!
I'd be pissed if some guy said that about my job especially one I've wanted to do all my life (Carrie has wanted to be a writer since her teens)
Such good memories of this for me of these series.This with the Russian and season 4 5 6.
Honestly I want a sugar daddy like this lol
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Misha seems Anthony Hopkins
So much
Yeeeessss,!!!!! I was like he reminds me of someone but I just couldn't think of who?!

They met at that hour to go see the artist in the installation at 3am, no?

Yeeeeeeesssss!!! I couldn't stop staring!
Any body knows where can I find the scene in where he sweeten tea with black cherries
How she struggling to pronounce aleksander??? Just copy him.
Right?!!
My gawd what a cringey awkward date. They had nothing in common.
Carrie and Big, carrie and Alekhsander - BOTHDISASTROUS RELATIONSHIP..

Beautiful blue eyes and graceful too !
Where is this restaurant?
He is bored by everything she says
Call me Bob jaja
Omg the dress!!!!

She was like literally so bad in this scene. Thank goodness it wasn’t all about first impressions
Hopefully tomorrow Andy Warhol wigs will come in Vogue!

It's seems pretty autobiographical. MB was indeed a regular at 54 back in the 70s.

Lmao he said congratulations 🎈 hahaha
It’s kind of a Russian joke to say “Congratulations” (Поздравляю) in that type of context. Sort of like “good for you” in a mildly ironic way.
Remind me again, why was Mischa's character intrigued by this shallow nitwit?
I love her face when she says "Vodka Martini please " she looks like n angel
Carrie's sarcasm is annoying in this scene. No man would find her snarky attitude attractive.
well it's almost as snarky as his
luckily no man needs to really. We need to be ourselves.
Can't even pronounce his name right oml
