Is it just me, or is Edward Cullen a prick?
I mean, he might be physically perfect and all that junk, but he's rude, selfish, creepy, and a severe pedophile. Not to mention, fictional. And yet somehow, all these teenage girls love him? Why did Twilight's author have to set a male standard that's impossible, let alone unideal, to reach? Heck, we have enough trouble already trying to deal with girl's anorexia to be as skinny as supermodels. This is even more ridiculous. It just don't seem right to me.
Plus, ya gotta admit, the books are poorly written. The only outstanding thing about it is Edward. Edward Edward Edward. When are the REAL guys gonna get a chance? Stop masturbating over fictional vampire pedophiles and go out there and get a non-fictional gentleman that will treat you better than a geriatric vampire ever could.
(the following is sarcasm)
...mind if I sneak through your bedroom window in the middle of the night? Ya know, to "protect" you? *wink wink*
(/sarcasm)
Wake up, girls. Your Knight in Shining Armor will not be located between the covers of a book.
And guys, you don't have to live by the Edward standards. The last thing this world needs is millions of self-absorbed pedophiles. If a girl won't date you because you're not like Edward, then just walk away and let it be that way. You wouldn't come to like a shallow-minded obsessed teenage freak in the end.

Well, considering the extent of my knowledge of twilight comes for the disscussion description and all those facebook stickers floating around, I can't really answer the question. But it is ridiculous how women tend to size people up based on standards set by fictacious characters. From what I know of this Edward, he's an ass, and by the way people here are talking, everyone without a vagina agrees. The thing in the end is that, just as chicks think, the perfect guy doesn't exsist. So, instead of look for a nice guy who pays for the date and aways has the girls comfort on mind, they go for mind numbing erotica. If they can't find a kind guy, they might as well just go for looks. In the end, the author of this book is not to blame. IT'S US DUDES. He writes it cause women will relate and buy it by the shelf-fulls. Can't stand the fact the girl your chasing doesn't want a "not Edward"? Well, tell her thats a good thing cause your a sensible gentalmen and not an egotisicle and untrust worthy freak who wants nothing more than blood. Mabey if guys were more gentalmen like, they'd make sensible book with sensible characters.

If it changes your outlooks at all, the author of the book is a woman, and even a few people who have vaginae agree with me that it is poorly-written and Edward needs to be hanged.

Exactly, I am a romantic guy and was going to ask out this girl. I was going to pull out all the stops. But before I could, when she was hanging out with me, she starts talking about how she wishes she could find her Edward and how she won't take anything less. So when I do ask her with a bouquet of blue roses she says, "I'm sorry (blank),but I am waiting on my (giggle) Edward in-shining-armor". I think I may become a monk.

Dangit, not you too! And a bouquet of blue roses, no less. You DO NOT say no to a bouquet, let alone one with blue roses. There is no excuse, unless the guy was a total perv. If she's looking for someone that's anything like Edward, she may as well join a nunnery. That's not to say guys should live up to some fairly high standards, but Edward shouldn't set them, being who he is.

XD The only excuse is that if she seriously doesn't like the guy. I've been asked out a couple of times by other guys and I turned them all down, not because they weren't nice or good-looking, but because I just didn't like them that way. It all depends on the person.
But the Edward excuse...HAS no excuse...that is just sad. Existential, you have my sympathy.

Well, okay. But if you MUST say no, you have to do it in a sensitive manner, and explain that you don't feel that way about them in a compassionate and understanding manner. But who says no to blue roses, anyway?

I agree...just saying 'No' and then giving an excuse like that girl did is just plain mean. Letting down someone easy is definitely important, but a lot of girls just throw it back in their faces...it's painful to just watch T-T
But you also shouldn't get together with someone you don't like in the romantic sense just because they are willing to give you the world (Or blue roses) however, this girl didn't say that she didn't like him...only that she was going to wait for her Edward. She might actually like him, but decided that she also wanted someone like Ed because he is so 'perfect'
That is just pathetic, but people do it all the time.
I dunno, that's just my view on it.

Well, you could always try climbing in through her window at night and watching her sleep. That may impress her more than the bouquet of blue roses...
