When you're in your 30s with kids, mortgage, housework and responsibilities in general, those feelings seem a lifetime away so I think that's why the books are popular amongst women. My friend said "god they make me feel just like a teenager again"
Also Edward may be a ridiculous character to a lot of people, but again to women he has it going on.. big time! He is quite dominant and selfish in a lot of ways but will do anything for his woman and also (as he was born in 1901) has a lot of old fashioned values...
God, I'm wittering on on a public forum and standing up for a fictional VAMPIRE!! WTF is wrong with me??

As poorly written as they are, I can see your points. However, most of them relate to women. So we can draw the line .

Any man that likes Twilight is off the cool list forever.

Forever.

Hahaha... I have to agree with you there.
Although, my brother in law was feeling left out I think as my sis and I and friends were into it/talking about it/having Twilight parties etc and to prove how crap the whole thing is, he has started reading them.. Now, he says they're complete nonsense..... but he's still reading it?
