Older women and Twilight


DirtyMagic97

Recommended Posts

That's the thing. As women become bored with married life (or bored with pursuing the married life), I think they long for the lust and romance of their youth.

I think that's why Twilight is a hit with women of all ages. It appeals predominantly to young women, but also to women who want to remember what that youthful love was like. Vampires just so happen to be the vehicle Meyer uses to deliver her romance. You're kidding yourself if you think these women are into vampires.

You are right. I guess it's not as creepy as I originally thought. And yea I figured it definitely wasn't the vampire thing that had them hooked.

Maybe I'll read it next. :leaving:

One of my wife's friends is in a "group"... something like "Twilight Moms" or some such... they went to the midnight showing last night... most of these women also do not have kids to take to see it... they're all in their early 30's with really young kids.

Might be my wife...she left the house with a group of her friends and got in line about 7pm for the midnight show and got home around 3 am. When I got home from work today, I asked her how the movie was and she said not good.....when I asked why she said it was not good for me in particular.

Then I started to get a heated lecture about how much such and such loves Bella and men will never understand and if they only had a clue things would be.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Woke up an hour later with King of Queens reruns on the TV and her no where to be found. I really try hard to be a good husband....I do.... but I can't compete with the Immortal Casinovas of the silver screen

Moral of the story: Never let your wife watch Twilight during that emotional time of the month........or ever.

its the beetles in 2010. except with everyone wanting to feel younger, its ok for older women to go nuts for that stuff.(i bet some watch the lost boys) i remember when only 14 year girls texted, now grown men with kids of their own send LOLs, eh...

i will say it would have been wrong for millions of older males to go insane over a 17 year girl, the jails would have been overfull. but the ladies did it and no one cared.

They are socially accepted pedophiles yet I am the one who gets chastised for noticing that Miley Cyrus is beginning to dress a bit more slutty as she nears legal age. Sheesh....

Nurse and 2 assistants went to a midnight show. They showed up for work the next day, so whatever.

I guess if it gets people in to reading, like the Hairry Pooper stuff, awesome.

So splane to me how becoming a vampire is "sexy".

Undead, bad hours, soulless and evil. Can't go out during the day. No heartbeat therefore no erections....

I don't understand Twilight. I've never gotten into it. I think Bella is emo as hell. And I prefer my vampires not to sparkle. Much better vampire books out there, even romance vampire books.

Now my viking vampire Eric from True Blood? Whole nother story. Rawwrrr.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
