Before I begin, I must admit that like most high school and college girls around the globe, I am completely and irrevocably in love with vampires. In fact, I often have a tough time deciding which among Edward Cullen, Stefan Salvatore and Damon Salvatore should be ranked higher on the hotness scale. Most of my guy friends have adopted a weird habit of cursing all the abovementioned characters. The grapevine says men around the globe are baffled and at a complete loss to fathom the bizarre attraction these undead lethal creatures hold to girls around. They have come up with various hilarious theories for the same including one suggesting that women love vampires because the vampires are perfect depictions of gay guys. Preposterous, right? Guess its time to get a girl's perspective.
The fact that most of these fictitious vampires are described as being nothing short of Greek Gods makes up only the tip of the iceberg. They are also described as having these superhero characteristics, the mind reading, all the ultimate macho qualities, and top it all with extra dollops of sensitivity..and what do you get..its the perfect guy. Almost all high school movies have shown girls falling for the football team captains. The strong athletic vampires are no different from the typical high school jock who dates the prom queen and is every girl's dream hunk. With a difference, our new hero is empathetic and understanding, he listens, he shares, he even weeps. Be it as Edward or as one of the Salvatore brothers, he would go to any lengths to protect the love of his life, even if it involves putting himself in danger. Come on, which girl wouldn't fall for such a guy. His described lifestyle choice makes him shine out as a good guy, who makes a conscious decision not to be a monster, despite what nature has bestowed upon him, unlike most guys who use I am a guy, nature made me so as an excuse to get out of any and every thing girls want to do. Of course, we are bedazzled by him. And honestly, which girl has ever come across a guy who would pull back from a girls embrace because he doesn't want to hurt her. Of course, we swoon at him. Add to that the classic allure of the ultimate forbidden romance, he becomes totally irresistible. If only he were real. Call me vampire-struck, you bet!
wow This is another one of your weirdo obsessions? I hope its not because you are fed up of the common human beings :P btw wt is the chance of vampires being real?
ReplyDeleteThe line was "unconditionally and irrevocably in love" BTW, I really hope this makes the male population out there a little more perceptive to our point of view.
ReplyDeleteEdward or the Salvatore brothers as gays?!! tsk,tsk - Honestly, what is it with guys haan? jealous of fictional, 100+ year old, blood-sucking mythical creatures.... that insecure???
I think the following order on the hotness scale is "irrevocable": Damon Salvatore >> Edward Cullen >> Stefan Salvatore..
ReplyDelete@Nits: I think there is a 90% chance of vampires roaming amidst us..!! I seriously want to meet one..!! :D

"They are also described as having these superhero characteristics, the mind reading" - Are you sure because we are talking about the girls mind. The most complex thing after the Paul Adams bowling action :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply. And the order has definitely got to be Damon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Edward>=Stefan. No contest there!!!!
ReplyDelete@ Pratik: pch pch....
@ Everyone: Read Pratik's comment and you will understand what we mean by saying "It is useless to reason with them" - They can't even figure it out when you shove it in their face or under their nose.
Just to prove a point!!! Its not just girls who are fans of twilight and vampires. For example:
