Edward Cullen

Its called hollywood magic ladies...alot of this stuff is so over exaggerated...

A lot of real guys are like Edward Cullen. Maybe not rich with perfect looks but in the ways that should count.

Why does it need to be on a big screen for girls to SEE it? Chances are, ladies, you've got an Edward or a Jacob in your life but they don't look like Robert Pattinson or drive a luxury car so you don't see him.

Think about it.

Cause most of us are assholes.

Oh yeah I totally wish I was some emo vampire. That would be awesome... BS! Ugh! Look I'm sorry for being an ass, but honestly its a movie and book, it will never be reality so stop wishing for it. I'm sorry, but die hard Twilight fans really irritate me.

Guys like that do exist but human nature is not attracted to someone who is willing to just lay it all down. Many times have I seen a beautiful woman mistreated and stays with the ugly asshole. I will say this, if you continue to look for movie romance you are going to find a liar and a cheater 90% of the time. Movies and stories give hope to the hopeless and I still think Disney royally f***ed everyone as a kid and led them into false hope. I'm not saying love doesn't happen or life can't be romantic but it doesn't happen overnight. I haven't seen the movie nor read the book but know enough girls to get the jist.

If you want a romantic chivalrous guy, just wait, be patient, and just keep trying but not too hard. There are red flags to watch out for and things that can hint you as to how the person is going to be. A perfect person won't fall into your lap, you have to get your heart broken and break some hearts to find the one that works with yours, figuratively speaking. Get out there and date. Best of luck.

because they're human?

you mean dead?

There aren't any girls like Bella either, sadly.

I think it's kind of funny that you call him Edward Cullen instead of his real name. Edward Cullen doesn't exist! When people talk about Robert Pattinson, why do they always call him by his character's name?

I don't go around saying "I really like Jeniffer's Body", I say "I really like Megan Fox."

Twilight sucks.

Twilight is soooo retarded, if anything I'd watch True Blood.

You watch too many movies. Your expectations are way to high there are a lot of guys that are pretty cool and don't cheat or act like jerks. So either you have extremely high expectation or you hang out with the wrong people. Also his a vampire who kills people why would you want people to act like that.

I know that there are many guys who are kind, understanding & extremely loyal. They also have the looks. It's actually pretty f***ed up that you say this because these guys are the guys who are always seen as boyfriend material, but they never do get many (or quality) girls. I've been told by at least 12 girls that their boyfriends aren't nice enough, but they tell people like me that I'm too nice & that they respond to jerks. Get your head straight.

Guess what. There ARE a ton of guys out there who have all the personality traits as Edward Cullen and treat girls the same way.

But in real life, they come across as being overly clingy, obsessive, desperate, and borderline psychotic usually. Edward gets away with it because he's rich and handsome, and that, for some reason, changes everything.

Because we are not gay, lol. Stupid movie. People don't act like that. Sorry, just my opinion.

He resists the temptation of killing Bella and that amounts to resisting having sex. Plenty of real guys are like that in reality.

He's overprotective and jealous and controlling, but not abusive. Meaning, you like those assholes that are like that in real life, but they tend to be abusive and you don't like that particular quality but continue to go back, despite the abuse.

Edward's whole life revolves around Bella, but in real life you would feel smothered by this.

Really, you want Edward Cullen because you're a typical female who finds all the bad guy qualities with the good guy perseverance and caring. That's the ultimate dream for a girl, right?

Well, typically, your Edward is someone who will try to get you in bed at any cost, be overprotective and jealous, and make you seem like you're all he cares about because of his own insecurities and he'll beat you because of them, as well.

See, what most females miss in those books is that Jacob is the ideal guy. Not only is he caring and observant, he's loyal and endearing. He's the same guy that girls tend to disregard and take advantage of (as in the books). Somehow, his love isn't good enough because he's not obsessed beyond reason and suicidal at the thought of losing you.

Honest to God, those are the qualities of a user and abuser and you'd be well off avoiding anyone with a Twilight Edward persona. Fiction is one thing, reality is another.

Any Edward Cullen you're likely to be with is dangerous because he'll most likely end up abusing you and taking advantage of you in some way or other. I'm not either of these characters in persona, but I find it discouraging that so many females want Edward, given the repulsive way real life guys of this type actually behave.

Fantasy is fine, but I know females who have fallen for the character type and dealt with the consequences only too often. I'm just aghast at the amount of females that are likely to fall victim to this same persona now because of a fictional fantasy.

I'd also like to know how women would react to certain unrealistic female persona put to page and/or movie form that guys thought were what women should be like. I'm sure the outcry would be just as evident.

because were not gay duh! or the lamest vampire EVER! Ever seen Dracula 3000 that was a better vampire than Edward.

Wow um wow... There are way too many Edward fangirls and this is a key example of how far it has gone. He's a freak seriously get over it.

There are too many dumb sluts who fall for any man's bullsh*t to get into their panties. It's the girls' faults, because they make it so easy for us.

i projectile vomitted all over my screen while reading this. all those homo lines he uses in the book are all good on paper. if someone said that in real life they would look dumb.

LOL because he is a HOMO! Guys that like that stuff usually have problems. I had to watch that movie and it was horrible! I've seen better acting from a Independent Film. Plus if my girlfriend was as in love with him as you our, I would think that me as her boyfriend wasn't romancing her enough.

Because we don't sparkle shimmering prettiness in the sunlight.

Oh. My. God. I'm sad to say that I saw Twilight. I watched it just to see how bad it really was, and because my girlfriend kinda made me. She kept saying edward cullen was gorgeous. Now I'm straight, but I can tell that if I was gay I would not find him attractive in the least! That guy has to have THE ugliest face I have EVER seen! His eyebrows have more hair than my entire head!

To be Edward, would be too much drama. I find drama very awkward. I'm a very up beat a cheery guy. I'm also romantic, just not a very smooth talker. So, I wouldn't even wanna be like Edward.

I did love the movie though, my friends girlfriend bought him all the books, I'm waiting to get my hands on em.



...no homo

Because I enjoy being me... and most men feel the same way. To suggest something dumb like this is just hilarious... Ed C. is a character in a book turned sorry-ass movie... it's FANTASY... all men don't cheat, all men are in one way or another, a one-of-a-kind. The girl who wrote this question is obviously in love with the premise of love, and not the reality of love... Do you see me askin dumb questions like 'why caint all women be like Beyonce, or why all women caint be like Jenna Jameson/Jazmin St. Clair?' What a jacklegged, dumb way of seeing things that would be! Girls, don't be like the girl who wrote this question.. please! LMFAO

Men like Edward do exist, but they're hard to find ;) Same thing goes with girls. .

-wiseman

he hurt bella when the had sex how would you feel waking up with bruises everywhere not good no no

How could you like that guy? did you see the way he walked at the mtv movie awards he looked very insecure. I think you guys like the character in the movie not the actual actor. Yeah right you wouldn't like that, I bet if I stayed up on a tree staring at a girl through the window like in the movie I would get the police on my ass lol.

Edward just gave off that mysterious vibe in the movie I guess that's why you girls like him.

Me? A douchey vampire? No way!

Because the nice ones are always already taken! :-D

I don't have a problem with the ladies falling in love with me.

yeah well the guys who act like him in real life, usually finish last. It's hollywood magic.

you have to look in the right places to find a guy who won't cheat on you...frats and bars aren't the places to find trustworthy guys or girls.

I'd never base my life on a fictional hollywood character...lol I don't think any trustworthy guy would.

The world would be full of stalking sparkling weirdos .

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing that there's like 10 guys watching you sleep?

i doubt you would smile

because ill tell you this guys don't know what they want and that's when cheating on people comes in and their realy not cheating on anybody going out for a couple weeks and then going out with someone else isent cheating but that's not what I do I know who I want to be with but I don't know what she feels for me yet and sadly I don't think its gonna happen :(

A shallow question in my opinion. I think he's gay and would never be like him. I say either like me for who I am or get lost.

because not guys are the hollow hot guy
that has no emotion
besides slight raspiest tendices shown thought the book

Well...I've always been the guy no girl would get close to. However, the first to show a genuine interest in me, was after I was caring enough to sit up all night talking with a stranger when her baby was sick. She came to call me her Edward later and we've been happily together for 5 months this next weekend :)

because nice guys finish last...

This is a troll right? I mean this seems to me like an obvious troll.

What are the characteristics that he has that draw you to him? (I may take notes here.)

because he's a PRETEND PERSON.

you're setting yourself up for disappointment, luv.

Because God is a guy and not every girl looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt...so I guess this isn't heaven :(

Sorry just had to comment.

Edward Cullen is really a scumbag.

First off, he just wants to kill someone and falls in love with them mere seconds after meeting them. He has traumatic tantrums every other day and he can never make up his mind about his feelings and acts impossible about showing them. He constantly puts "his woman" in danger even though he supposedly loves her.

I am glad to be nothing like this sparkly woman abuser :)

Because not every guy is a movie star than can afford the training and hair cuts and make up 2 look like a movie star like that guy says why can't every girl be as hot as taylor swift or megan fox well those girls are beautiful they also have millions they can afford the latest look and training.Lol I also wish I looked like Edward some days but I don't I just work with what I have:) And I'm def not a cheating scum bag I always show a girl a great time and I would treat her like Edward does its just a lot of girls are wearded out by nice guys and unfortunatly It sucks but I'm still nice 2 them no matter what.

*i really hope one day people can stop staying "he/she's hot" and look pass the skin. I assure you everybody has their own charm, enough to sweep you off your feet, you just need to give them a chance. And if you treat them like Bella treat Edward, they'll turn right into your real life Edward for you.

Why can't every girl be as hot as taylor swift or megan fox?

Thats easy..because those guys do exist and they are called emo kids..haha. Plus women, especially young women, want a bad boy. Clearly that is not what this FICTIOUS character is. The truth is guys like that do exist, but theyre not vampires, so they go under the radar. They are sensitive and loving, but are considered less of a man for doing so. No one would say that to this fake vampire because he'd literally rip your face off. Plus he says a lot of things in that movie, that a regular guy couldn't get a away with because it comes off creepy. "I watch you while you sleep"...seriously dude! (I went and saw this with a woman I was seeing at the time) If I said that to a chick I was interested in, she'd excuse herself from the table and never come back. You don't like the guys character as much as you like the fact that he's a vampire...its ok to admit it.

I think this may be a contributing factor to the whole "There are no good guys out there" syndrome that girls get. I understand how girls have the fantasy-type of guy that will play some kind of adventurous/exciting role in their lives; no doubt guys have their fantasies too. But you have to be careful about comparing fantasies with real life, or even hinting at it. I think Yvonne Strahovski from 'Chuck' would be my fantasy girl, but I don't expect to meet a gorgeous, blonde, deadly super-spy in the real world. If you're expecting to meet a guy like Edward Cullen (like in his movie role), you won't. In fact, if you even met Edward Cullen you may find out he is a totally different person in real life (very likely). Is it normal to fantasize about fictional characters? Absolutely, in fact most people enjoy it. But it is a waste of time and effort to think a person can be like that in real life. Like I said, there's no problem with having fantasies, but you have to know where that reality line is drawn.

Hmmph. Heaven, huh? Why, why, WHY would you want ALL GUYS to be the same as a fictious
character? I haven't seen the movie, or read the novel but the way that everyother guy acts is what makes him unique. The way I act makes me unique. I have zero desire to be like someone else, I'm happy with who I am, period. But as far as the way he treated the girl, look around you. As has been noted, there are a lot of guys like that. I hope I didn't get too far off track
on this one-

you're joking..right?

You can't be serious...

That'd be so awful. lol

the world would be boring if all men looked the same. no girl could be proud of her boyfriend, cause her bff got the same! LMAO. and if he broke up with her, she'd just pick the next edward. hmm... how exciting!

furthermore some girls want real men ;)

I haven't seen the show (movie?), care to explain?

i hear this question all the time and I do nothing but laugh. I've treated women like angels since my first girlfriend I had in highschool but really it seemed to never pay off, I would get lied to cheated on broken up with passed around laughed at and treated back like sh*t because they didn't apreciate me when I treated them so well... you say you want someone like that but do you really? or do you just tired of bad boy type this week and want a little change for a bit then back to the bad boy and leaving the great caring guy in sewers. I'm finaly happy I found the girl of my dreams and that apeciates me for being me and she tells me every day that I am her Edward. but anyhow do you really want a nice guy if so show them! they are all over the place. next time a guy comes up to you all shy and afraid to talk to you say yes and talk with him don't reject him because he doesn't have a assload of confidence and is not smooth with the lines give him a chance he might just surprise you

Why can't all girls be like Elisha Cuthbert in The Girl Next Door? Or look like Heidi Klum in her prime (even though she is older, she is still gorgeous)? Or be as sexy as Jessica Alba?

What are you talking about? Who the hell is that and what does he do?

i am like Edward Cullen. I falls passionately for this girl before, but this is not Hollywood, this is reality. There are so many other factors that comes into place.

AND when a guy treat a girls so sweet like that, the girls tend to lead them around, play with them, and they don't usually appreciate what they have.

Ask the guys, I'm sure there are plenty of them who treat a girl genuinely like Edward does, and I assure you almost all of them will tell you that they're un-appreciated.

Maybe you could date the actor?

The vampire part or the dark mysterious part?

are you serious?

Meh, You don't really want a guy like that. Real men are so much more rewarding.

Also, men shouldn't be expected to be more like Cullen just like women shouldn't be expected to be more like...whoever it is that men like these days. We should only expect for the other person to be themselves. We should love each other for who we are not because we wish they were more like a fictional character in a Hollywood movie.

Wow, people get totally worked up about Twilight Edward Cullen! I bet you didn't think you'd get this many answers! lol I confess I'm a little obsessed with the whole saga myself and I've got a crush on Robert Pattinson along with 50 trillion other girls and I can't wait to see Jacob in New Moon.

The thing I love about Edward is the way he looks at Bella (obviously, Rob Pattinson looking at Kristen Stewart). Such intensity and total desire.

I think that's why we all love this guy...we want someone to want us with that much passion. We want someone to look at us that way.

Maybe they do and we just don't see it? Maybe we should write in a journal and put to paper real stories of real guys who aren't necessarily Edward but the way they feel about us is the same.

And have somebody follow him around with a video camera so you can capture the way he looks at you when you aren't looking. Guys aren't supposed to show too much emotion so maybe it's in their eyes and on their face when no one else is looking. Spy Cam Pen - maybe you already have your Edward!

I think there are some things you can take away from the movie that are good, though everyone gets that Bella and Edward are both idealized characters. I think the idea that people should wait for someone who is really in to them and that both parties to a relationship should be in to each other is great.

The idea that people can and should make sure they are with someone they enjoy without any sex involved. Beyond that the movie is just a yummy (from a girls perspective) romantic escapist treat to have fun with but nothing more.

LMAO! this is soo funny! :) he is awesome! yet, so pale... He needs a tan

Men can be. Edward Cullen is a character played by a real, normal human being and...men are normal human beings.

meh, Edward is nice and all but he has his bad points too...you know like the stalker thing watching Bella while she sleeps. I'm more of Jacob fan wouldn't mind a boyfriend like Jacob minus all the anger management issues xD

because if all boys were as perfect in character as Edward Cullen life would be BORING yeah it's a nice dream but being not perfect with a 100% perfect guy that never does anything wrong would just cause problems...I think that everyone is unique in their own way and that dating someone that perfect would just get old,yeah sure you wouldn't have to worry about them doing anything wrong because their just "perfect"

But how can you define "perfect" when everyone's opinion on what is attractive in the opposite sex (or same sex depending on your preference) rather varies?

I mean sometimes we have the similar likes in someone as someone else but in the end our level of "perfection" in the interest varies drastically.

So maybe Twilight Edward Cullen is perfect to you but I think he has his own flaws in reality.

why can't all guys be vampires? because the whole world would turn into vampires...

Trust me, Edward is one of kind.

I have been waiting for my Edward Cullen for three years-and he's never came. The closest thing we have to him is Robert Pattinson lol who plays him =)

Because life just isn't like that. I'm not a huge fan anyway...

hell yeah! Boy!

Ew he's ugly and I don't go for the brooding, emo type. Speak for yourself!

I'm a Twilight fan and I love the books and the movie Edward Cullen is hot his lines are really cute and sweet. Yes I would want a guy to say some but I wouldn't like all the drama he brings with him. I would want a guy who would actually be there for me and not leave me in the woods crying.

That wasn't cool! I think there is a Twilight Edward Cullen out there for every girl but it's what the girl wants in the guy not a character from a book and movie

egh edward just doesn't do it for me... now jacob :DDDD

I can't lie I do like Edward but I don't want my guy to be like him! I like badd boys /good boys :)

You know, I don't find Robert Pattinson as attractive when he's just being Robert Pattinson... haha. :) Edward is yummy though. Sparkling vampires.

hmm well as much as I LOVE Edward cullen, idt there are any guys out there that could be like him because noone is perfect...everyone has their own special flaws that we live to deal with...but if guys were like edward life would be good! :) haha they take some tips on how girls want to be treated

a stalking weirdo? thanks but no thanks love...man those books are so sh*t...go read something worth the paper the paper it's printed on!

terrible writing, terrible characters, terrible representation of 'love', terrible repitiion...
