Because Twilight is Gay and Women like gay shit. It is the way it always has been. If it were to change the whole universe would asplode.
You, sir, are a winrar.
So, you both agree that video games are gay shit, because I'm a woman and I like them?

Damn. BRB, throwing all my Call of Duty games in the 'gay shit' bin.

Vampires are sensual creatures.

They attack by kissing women on the neck.

Women love vampire stories because its generally like romance stories with a twist of horror.. so women who like horror typically love Vampires.

Twilight is just the first really accessible vampire book for younger girls to read. There was the Anne Rice series, and multitude of other Vampire literature, but they're all very heavy stuff.. Twilight is light, and accessible.

That's why girls like it.

I'm posting without reading the last 7 pages, so forgive me if I'm not in the stream of the current argument.

I get a full dose of Twilight praise from my sister every day, mostly about Edward and how he's a dream guy and etc. etc. When I finally asked her why she thought this (mostly to shut her up, yeah) she rattled off a bunch of chivalrous (best word I can think of) things that he does for her, like holding open a door or not ogling at other girls, I can't remember them all.

So replying to all of the guys who say this book plays on a supposedly unreachable fantasy for a girl, all I can say to you is that you must be doing something wrong. I'm a guy with a girlfriend, and I do almost all of the things that my sister keeps on raving about (besides fighting vampires, that's not in my resume). Maybe I'm just an outlier, but if you don't do enough of those things that you think that this is an impossible dream for a girl, then in admittedly blunt terms, shape up.

Little girls don't understand the allure of a vampire's embrace..

but they feel it in their little girl bones. They know they want it.. they just don't understand why.

You know, I think my girlfriend said the exact same thing. She's one of the few who actually hate Twilight with a bloody passion, since she "likes guys who don't sparkle!"

Just to add into this. If I'm not mistaken, Twilight fangirls are retarded stoopids that blitz you like they're armed with BFG9K guns VS wooden targets you-shaped.

The fangirl thing came from a male friend of mine in The Philippines.

Tell your GF she rocks.
If my boyfriend sparkled, I think I would freak out and hit him with a bat. Plus, how stupid is that. "We don't go into the sun because we sparkle!."

I personally haven't read the books[though a friend is pressuring me into reading them], but some of the ideas are just insane and stupid. I just feel they don't really give you the real feeling of a vampire story. I expect some seductive, tall, dark, stud who wants to drink from my neck. I don't want some pussy who won't bite me because he is 'scared'.

Alucard FTW! Give me that erotic blood-sucker over pussy depressed looking Edward from the movies.

You have to admit though... Carlisle is hot ^.~

you're past the need for Twilight. Twilight is an accessible stepping stone for little girls to get into vampire literature.. If you're already a big fan of vampires, it will seem shallow and tame.

I have a few female friends, who I respect greatly, and they did not like the movie. That being said, they did like the books. I think that's understandable. Books are usually better than their film counterparts.
Bella(I believe that is the name of the female protagonist)may be a Mary Sue for the author. She's supposed to fulfill all of the authors fantasies rather than the readers.
I have no interest in Twilight so long as Hellsing exists.
Alucard > Edward

Hows about we end the Twilight threads. Mmmmkay?

Twilight exists for one reason. Emo's werent bad enough so now we have girls that have fake vampire teeth, wear black emo clothes, whine alot about life AND now want to be vampires. It's my view of the true irony of life. Humanity.

Tons of my female friends "LOVED" the book but didn't like the movie, I personally see any reason why the book is so popular. I know all the common arguments because I've tried arguing it. I think this is a dumb fad and girls will get over it eventually.

Should I also break into her house and watch her sleep for months on end? Threaten her? Dump her? Make it so SHE is Subserviant to ME?

No thanks, My girlfriend hates these books as much as I do, and we take it in turns who dominates who, or if we just want to be concentual.

I would also never let a FULLY GROWN MAN WANT TO FUCK MY 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER! NO MATTER HOW HIS FUCKING MATING WORKS.

Oh yes and this lovely logic.

Vampires Don't Age. Oh but Baby Vampires Age Rapidly.

Bella refers to people being nice to her as dogs, she is surprised when her father, who shows her nothing but love and even buys her a car and gets up early in the morning to make sure it won't slip on the nice. Shows care for her.

Because ya know, He treats her like Gendo treated Shinji.

EVERYONE loves her, EVEYRONE loves him! So why is she such an ANGSTY LITTLE *****! 'Oh I have a car, all the boys want me, all the girls want to be my friend, nobody cares I don't pay attention in class, they all SWARM to help me in Vollyball because I don't have to get better, My father is kind and loving, and my boyfriend is a Vampire.

God my life is so depressing'

I mean I could understand if NOBODY liked her and her father didn't care for her, but she can't even show the respect of calling him Dad all the time. No no, only to his face, like it's a FUCKING CHORE.
If I understood what you were actually trying to say in that rant, I could replay. But, well, you know...I didn't.

Edward is so dreamy. he's tall, dark, handsome and mysterious.

Oh, and they're not vampires, they're fey. Everything they exhibit are telltale signs of fey.
