...Twi[cough]light...

So, it's been a while since I posted anything regarding this topic. While doing research for a paper (I swear!) I stumbled across a blog entry comment that made me nod my head in agreement.

Twilight is a huge controversy between the male and female sector throughout my peers, with some exceptions, and many of the men think that we are holding them to ridiculously high standards - impossible standards - and that Twilight is "emotional pornography." They find it hard to believe that any girl can fall in love with a vampire that (1) wants to drain you of your lifeblood, (2) sneaks into your bedroom and watches you sleep, (3) is super over-protective to the point of controlling, (4) is a little gloomy and pessimistic.

To the last one I say, he's more brooding than emo. And brooding is hot!

Anyway, the comment reads as such:

Fellas, it's time we concede that Edward is every girls dream.

Let's list his qualities:

1. Superhuman strength - the ultimate "protector"

2. Has the desire to suck people's blood - the ultimate "bad boy"

3. Fights his desire to suck people's blood - the ultimate "bad boy with a big heart"

4. Has been alive for a hundred years and has read every book, and mastered every talent (piano playing, etc.) - the ultimate "smart and talented guy"

5. Exceptionally gorgeous - the ultimate "hot guy"

6. Desires Bella and only Bella (despite the fact that, considering his above qualities, he could probably have any girl he wants) - the ultimate "he loves me and only me!" guy

7. Lastly and probably most importantly, despite his own passionate desires, refuses to have sex with Bella even AFTER they're married - the ultimate "he cares about me and doesn't objectify me" guy

Whoever Mike Allen is, he's one smart cookie. I think he's hit the proverbial nail on the head. Unfortunately, he goes on to say the the ultimate protector/bad boy/hot guy/caring/faithful guy doesn't exist.

Too bad.

I'll take the hot brooding guy that makes me laugh, instead.
