Miranda Hobbes is a successful, and independent woman, who seemingly has everything, with a few great friends by her side. But one of the things that seems obvious in the show is Miranda's interesting dating life. All four women have some ridiculous and questionable dating choices in Sex and the City, but it seems like the various men in Miranda's life were particularly the worst, for one reason or another.

From the liars to the hotheads, these flings are enjoyable to watch on television but it would be interesting to meet these types of guys in real life. While she's had some undesirables cross her path, Miranda's also had some of the best boyfriends in the show. Overall, all four favorite fashionistas have had some of the most interesting dating moments in television history, and if they were all perfect, it wouldn't be Sex and the City.

In the episode, "Cover Girl," Miranda has given birth to Brady and in turn, is having trouble losing baby weight. She decides to join Weight Watchers where she randomly meets another member named Tom.

While this is fun and rebellious at first, Miranda just wants a normal-ish relationship, without the risk each time. When they finally "seal the deal" at Jack's apartment, Miranda realizes mid-makeout session Jack's parents are in town visiting. They walk into the bedroom, and Jack reacts like it's the most normal thing to happen to him in the world... while he's still on top of Miranda.

While Carrie was off proving to viewers that her relationship with Big was, for the most part, toxic, Miranda gets to know her colleague, George, who is in town for business. Coming from Chicago, Miranda's fling with her cute Midwestern co-worker seems fun, but with the distance, there's really not a lot of hope it'll stick.

George and Miranda continue to talk on the phone after George leaves, and after several conversations on the phone, she finds out she's not the only one George is talking dirty to. This duo was only together for a night or two so George isn't technically the worst, but it is a weird situation to be in.

6 Thomas: Season 1, Episode 12, "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"

Up-and-coming playwright Thomas John Anderson seems perfect until Miranda realizes he immediately jumps out of bed to shower after they are intimate. At first, Miranda chops it up to good hygiene, but after a while, she learns it's a result of his upbringing.

Nicknamed "Catholic Guy" by Carrie, Miranda finds out if this habit began when he was younger. The nuns at his church would repeatedly say being intimate was a sin, and Thomas couldn't get past it in adulthood. Eventually, Thomas becomes defensive when questioned by Miranda, and their fling doesn't last after that.

5 Detective Stevens: Season 3, Episode 17, "What Goes Around Comes Around"

This is when Stevens and Miranda click, and after a date out on the town, Miranda becomes self-conscious by how good-looking he is. One thing leads to another and Miranda has downed six martinis to ease the nerves.

After making a spectacle of herself after they went home together, Miranda wakes up alone, except for an AA number Stevens left her. Stevens was being kind because he's used to helping people, but he should've been more accepting of the fact maybe Miranda was just nervous, instead of ghosting her.

4 Manhatten Guy: Season 2, Episode 3, "The Freak Show"

"The Freak Show" is an episode that would qualify Miranda as a good friend. While Carrie goes out with a man named Ben, Miranda decides to be a wing-woman of sorts and goes on a "non-date" double-date with Carrie and him.  Ben brings his friend Luke, also known as the guy who hasn't left Manhattan in ten years.

Luke shoots down any other city or state outside city limits, and after a short walk, Miranda has seen enough. After telling everyone she has to go "feed her cat," Luke makes one last under-the-breath comment about cat people being "freaks," which confirms Luke is sheltered and judgmental.

3 Harris: Season 3, Episode 12, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

She can see situations that will set him off and wants to avoid them, which is alarming.
