On Gossip Girl, they do a wonderful job in separating the sexes. They both have well defined images for each. The perfect example of their idea of a guy is Chuck Bass. Why? Because he is Chuck Bass. He has a persona larger than life. He is charismatic, suave, attractive, smooth, romantic, manly, mysterious, powerful, and intelligent. Blair and Serena describe both sides of girls. Blair is girly, proper, formal, sweet, jealous, vindictive, and bitter. Serena is a different kind of girl. She is free, fashionable, flirty, in control, and confident. They even separate the two groups for most things. The guys do "guy things." They go out drinking to clubs and bars with lots of women involved. He always has girls falling all over him, one on each arm. He throws around his money, waltzes in when people need help, and makes everyone fall all over their feet. The girls do things like shop, party, meet boys, gossip, fashion shows, and go to photo shoots. They epitomize an uptown New York girl. The show uses these two opposing forces and pits them against each other, making for even steamier hook ups. They monopolize on the ideas society has created for each of the genders and make them larger than life and almost unrealistic. No girl can be that perfect, nor can a single guy really have that much game.
