I realise he is a fictional teenage vampire but I can't help it!

Yes. Grin

ThatllDoPig · 19/11/2010 21:00

YABU! He is an emotionally manipulative bully. With stupid hair.

YABVVVVVVVU!
Horrid, possessive, manipulative stalkerish wierdo type. I'd lock my daughter in the under stair cupboard if she brought him home!
Crappy character in a crappy book which gives The wrong messages to vulnerable teenagers!
And while we are on the subject, get the boy a damned good eyebrow wax!

AnnieLobeseder · 19/11/2010 21:17

He's revolting!

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 19/11/2010 21:18

If you must love a fictional vampire, can I point you in the direction of Anne Rice? She has real vamps made from real men who do exactly what vampires are supposed to!

gapbear · 19/11/2010 21:18

YABU
Ick.

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 19/11/2010 21:18

Or even charlaine Harris! Eric is to die for!!!

SalFresco · 19/11/2010 21:19

I'll back you up and say YANBU if I'm allowed to be similarly smitten with Aiden from X-factor. At the age of 31 Blush Blush Blush Blush

SleepingLion · 19/11/2010 21:21

YABVU

Simply because as sexy fictional vampires go, he is at the very bottom of a bloody long list.

I present for your delectation:

Damon Salvatore

The True Blood boys

Angel and Spike

all of whom make Edward Cullen look like exactly what he is - a sulky, passive aggressive control freak of a teenager...

LaWeaselMys · 19/11/2010 21:23

Ah, Damon.

Not that he's obsessive too or anything.

PhishFoodAddiction · 19/11/2010 21:26

sleeping lion DH ordered true blood from lovefilm...the first disc came, it only had 2 episodes on it!No more have come yet Angry It seemed really good though and I do think that vampire (Is he called Bill?) is pretty hot Grin

OP YADBU wrt Edward Cullen- he's not very sexy for a vampire...and that sparkling in the sun was so silly!

SalFresco I had a bit of a thing for Aiden too Blush just something about him...

OTTMummA · 19/11/2010 21:27

I'll have them all ta very much Grin

What i wouldn't do.

PussinJimmyChoos · 19/11/2010 21:28

YANBU....I heart Edward Cullen and I shall be 34 next week

IWillCountToThree · 19/11/2010 21:28

YES

If you must, then Jacob all the way. I'm 30 too btw!

Tidey · 19/11/2010 21:28

Oooooh, Angel and Spike any day.

SalFresco · 19/11/2010 21:31

PhishFoodAddiction glad I'm not alone.

DH called me a cougar Blush Blush Blush but I just love him. And I've never fancied anyone younger before.

PhishFoodAddiction · 19/11/2010 21:33

SalFresco Grin at cougar! My DH just called me sad! I'm 27, can I be a cougar too?!

IWillCountToThree · 19/11/2010 21:39

Emmet: Yes, despite sparkles!
Angel: Yes
Spike: Yes
Damon: Yes please!
Guy out of True Blood, not so much.

As my bf would say, 'Sparkly Vampires, WTF??'

flibbertigibbert · 19/11/2010 21:40

YABVU.

I find the Twilight films very disturbing and I hate the thought of young girls seeing behaviour like Edward's as acceptable in a relationship. He's controlling and possessive.

wintersnow · 19/11/2010 21:41

Funny thing is I don't actually fancy the real life Robert Pattinson (ok I do but only a little bit) but get kind of obsessed with Edward whenever I read the books/watch the films!!!!

OP posts:
SalFresco · 19/11/2010 21:42

PhishFoodAddiction I'm afraid the official definition of "cougar" specifies a woman in her 30's...so I just squeak in Grin

DH called me sad too, but I don't care. He's just so beautiful [inappropriate dreamy lust emoticon]

OTTMummA · 19/11/2010 21:44

Wintersnow IKWYM, first time i heard RobP on t.v interview, i was like,, hmmm, nope definately more into 'Edward'.
Can't explain it, maybe i just like anemic, brooding looking fellas haha!

PussinJimmyChoos · 19/11/2010 21:45

I really don't get all the fuss over how Edward behaves...it is fiction

If he made me come every time we shagged, I wouldn't care how brooding and possessive he got Grin

EricNorthmansMistress · 19/11/2010 21:46

YANBU
