Twilight and Edward... from a dude's perspective

Ladies, enjoy reading about what your husbands REALLY think about our obsession with everything Twilight.... oh, and Edward. The name "Edward" alone has become every woman's code word for "swoon", and every man's nemesis.

Here's a snippet; you MUST read the entire article to gain full perspective:

"I was hoping to at least put off my fate for an extra day or two, but nope. Didn’t happen. Colette bought a copy of the film Saturday morning, and by Saturday night she was already batting her eyes at me and asking if I wanted to watch it with her. In hindsight, I should have held out until she rolled out the really good bribes, but I’d had a couple drinks at dinner and figured it was a rare opportunity for me to appear magnanimous. “What the heck, go ahead and pop it in,” I said, magnanimously.

"So we started watching "Twilight," and I found myself waiting for the first appearance of this dude Edward. He’s the romantic male lead in the story, which I know because I feel like I practically live with the guy. For well over a year, I’ve heard Colette and the girls gush over him, and how he’s super-hot, and ... well, and how he’s super-hot. You know how, if you’re a chick, you kind of hate people like Angelina Jolie, the one woman that pretty much every guy fawns over? Well, Edward is that guy for us dudes. I’m sure there are women out there who aren’t hot for Edward, but I haven’t met any of them yet.

"Every time Edward walked on screen, the first thing I noticed was that hair. That ridiculous, three-inches-high, pointing-in-every-direction hair. His hair always looked like a mongoose had a seizure in it while he strolled through a hurricane. It was the dumbest thing I’d ever seen. The worst part of it all was that the actor who played Edward, Rob Pattinson, somehow made it look good. Scratch that. He made it look, though I am loath to use my favorite word of all time in this context, awesome.

Thanks for the tip, Regina and Hope!!

  3. Thanks so much for putting this out there for us - it's hysterical! {He's "scaring off his kids first two high school boyfriends just to make things square"?! LOL!)

    I kinda figured this is sorta what DH has been thinking all along; this just confirms it (for better or for worse). Although he does have good hair. : )
