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

In wikipedia it says a cougar is a woman in her 40's who likes younger guys and a puma is a woman in her 30's, just a bit of trivia for ya!

wintersnow Ha! I knew I was too young to be a cougar!!

PhishFoodAddiction · 19/11/2010 21:47

Dammit, I'll just have to be a sad 20-something for the next few years then! He is just gorgeous and brooding...all the good looking boys seem so young these days. Maybe I'm just getting old!

ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave · 19/11/2010 21:47

YABU. And what ThatllDoPig said.

wintersnow · 19/11/2010 21:50

I think he's 25 in real life... and he's over 100 in the book... surely that's not too bad?!

Ugh - don't understand why anybody likes either Edward Cullen or Rob Pattinson!

I shall remain firmly in the True Blood camp...

Showaddywaddy · 19/11/2010 21:57

He's cold you know. Really cold. Cold skin. Cold. Cold. Cold.

Bella falls down too.

And it rains.

Shodan · 19/11/2010 21:59

Ahem. That makes me a cougar then. Blush

But, yes to Angel too, deffo (actually my karate instructor bears a more-than-passing resemblance to him).

But then I always rather fancied Jack Sparrow too. Johnny Depp always, of course, but Jack Sparrow most particularly.

ThatllDoPig · 19/11/2010 21:59

pussin Yes, it is fiction, BUT it carries powerful messages to teenage girls. Look at how utterly miserable Bella is most of the time. He really manipulates her and this is presented as if it is not only ok, but desirable in a 'loving' relationship. Makes my flesh creep, and it is nothing to do with him being a vampire.
There are enough women normalising abusive relationships in the world! Teenagers should be having fun and forming positive strong opinions about themselves and about life.

Puss, if someone started a thread here..'my dd is dating a bloke who breaks in and watches her sleep, won't let her see her friends and wants to take her away from everyone she knows to be with him'.....
It's not acceptable in RL and young girls reading this are being given the idea that it is romantic!

SalFresco · 19/11/2010 22:11

That's why everyone should fancy Aiden instead. He's even prettier, and he will sing meaningfully after sex, rather than engage in some sort of ritualistic blood letting.

At least, he does in my head Grin

MorticiaAddams · 19/11/2010 22:15

YABU, he is cold.

A nice warm werewolf is far more appealing.

ThatllDoPig · 19/11/2010 22:16

But wouldn't Aiden rather 'sing meaningfully' to Joe McElderry IYKWIM ?

SalFresco · 19/11/2010 22:19

ThatllDoPig noooooooo!
He's just a bit shy Grin

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 19/11/2010 22:26

Thatlldo, that would be nice if only Aiden could actually sing! Confused

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 19/11/2010 22:27

Sorry, was meant for Sal! Blush

ThatllDoPig · 19/11/2010 22:29

Yes, I think Joe McEld wouldn't put up with the whinging for long. Grin

SalFresco · 19/11/2010 22:32

He CAN SING!! Like an angel. A beautiful, singing, sex angel.

Thank god someone has said it.

SalFresco · 19/11/2010 22:54

ThatllDoPig it's the sound of hilarity ThePork made at your unfounded inferences re Aiden's sexuality Grin
