Sex And The City: Miranda's 10 Worst Flings, Ranked | ScreenRant
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.

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.
7 George: Season 3, Episode 10, "All or Nothing"
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.

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.

One thing leads to another and Miranda has downed six martinis to ease the nerves.

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.
