Blammo! Nailed it.
Never read that book but that made me laugh. For some reason I find ‘pants’ to be a particularly endearing nickname.
“Imagine everything women want in a man, then exaggerate it by ten thousand - and you’ve got Edward Cullen.”
Heh.
I wonder how many times is Superman then?
But in Superman, the love interest has a lot of character…
I don’t think it’s everything a woman wants in a man - it’s everything a woman THINKS she wants in a man. what woman actually wants a man that is constantly around them, intensely scrutinizing and listening to them? that has almost no sense of humor, and is always COLD (think about that for a while) and never knows how to lighten up?
Unless you want Serious Husband. In which case Twilight is REALLY for you.
i’ve long felt that bella is simply a cipher for readers to slip into.
A little harsh, but very accurate and humorously written.
So, pretty much every woman (and more than a few guys.)
Damn. Why didn’t I think of this…
Superman was not created to be everything a woman wants in a man. He’s every adolescent boy’s fantasy. He just has a wider appeal.
That said, I always find authors who describe anything on their characters as “perfect” to be annoyingly unimaginative. No one is perfect, your Mary Sue’s shouldn’t be either.
Are you saying adolescent boy’s fantasize about a grown man in tights? :eek:
We all know what women really want is George Clooney.
A sparkly George Clooney.
I thought it was a sparkly Brad Pitt?
judging by quiet a number of mangas out there, i’d say what some woman really wants is a sparkly George Clooney on top of a sparkly Brad Pitt…
Do women really think sparkles make everything better?
I can’t wait for the SFL Project Runway Challenge!!!
Vote Team Sean!!!
I posted this during the Sanctuary frak last night. You be the judge…
How did this topic came up? It all started with a Ghost Whisperer commercial on Sci Fi…
I smell crossover!
“Twilight 4: Blood Ocean’s 11” (soundtrack by Dethklok)
I judge that the commercial had nothing to do with it. If you are in a frak party with Badger the topic of JLH’s privates will come up eventually. I also judge that vagazzling is contributing to “global warming” unless you show it off.
On another note, WHO THE FRAK GAVE GEORGE “Fing” LOPEZ A TALK SHOW. Anyone want to take some talent from me so I can qualify for a hosting gig where I get dumptrucks full of cash to destroy the braincells of American’s? :mad:
I also judge (with the help of my extremely large ego-TYKWIM) that my mention of Clooney was the inspiration for this weeks FSL Challenge. Yay me!!!
They took down the video…:mad:
