These 7 TV Quotes Prove Galentines Are Better Than Valentines

Nothing is more Galentine's Day chic than Sex and the City itself.

In Season 4, Episode 1, "The Agony and the 'Ex'-tacy" protagonist Carrie Bradshaw turns 35. During her birthday dinner, best friends Miranda Hobbs, Charlotte York, and Samantha Jones run extremely late, leaving Carrie alone before she heads home.

When her apologetic friend, Charlotte, picks her up, the four have a makeup dinner at their go-to diner where Carrie admits how lonely her birthday made her feel.

Finally, Charlotte, whose goal the entire show is to find a love interest, says, “Maybe we could be each other's soulmates. And then we could let men be just these great nice guys to have fun with.”

Suddenly we're reminded that the entire theme of the show is about friendship rather than finding a relationship.

Harlem is another show about four fabulous friends — Camille Parks, Angie Wilson, Quinn Joseph, and Tye Reynolds — in NYC.

Quinn, who has similarities to Charlotte York from Sex and the City, seeks her future hubby as if it's her second job. From a date who steals her wallet in Long Island to a meetup that ended up being a pyramid scheme, in Season 1, Episode 4, "Winter Solstice," Quinn becomes over it. Her best friend, Camille, encourages Quinn and the gals to go to a strip club and embrace themselves as beautiful, single ladies.

Quinn saying, "I have finally realized that Mr. Right is a lie. So Camille and I are looking for Mr. Right Now," takes the dating pressure off and allows her to recognize the empowerment of being single.
