If you're not taking them out the box then keep the box in the attic and don't reference it.
Simple as pie.
Regardless, you like Twilight. You're not a ladies man. You're a lady, man.

Moar arguing over something so simple?
You didn't get it. You can't deal with that. Get over it. The aind.
Why do you need to say anything else?
I won't respond to this again.
There's no doubt that if you're going to be critical about Edward Cullen, his behaviour will come off as manipulative, abusive, and downright creepy. However, like I said, fans will choose to see his positive traits (protective, sincere, romantic, etc.) as opposed to the negative ones.
And it's not as if Bella is a well-adjusted individual before meeting him either. She's brash, naive, anti-social, and submissive -- qualities an average teenage girl might be able to relate with. It all comes down to perception.
As an aside, I just came back from a screening of Remember Me. While his acting was not particularly remarkable, it was refreshing to see Robert portray a wider range of emotions other than "brooding". If anything, his American accent is getting better.

WOMEN will choose to see the positive traits. Replace "Fans" with women and you've got it.
I remember reading a particularly scathing and hilarious New Moon review that said something along the lines of Bella being an intolerable character. Someone so mentally unstable, selfish, self-absorbed and hard to please that it's worrying she's being portrayed as a heroine.

Just thought I'd update this thread.
They ARE werewolves. Not only are they Werewolves, but Jacob confirmed that they are werewolves. In book one. In book 2, Bella confirms that they are werewolves.
On top of that, they are directly referred to as "werewolves", many many many times. On top of that, Bella also has an epiphany in chapter 12, page 293:
It says:
Originally Written by Stephanie Meyer "There was something stuck in my throat, choking me. I tried to swallow it down, but i was lodged there, unmoving. I tried to spit it out.
'Werewolf,' I gasped.
Yes, that was the word I was choking on.
The Whole world lurched, tilting the wrong way on its axis.
What kind of a place was this? Could a world really exist where ancient legends went wandering around the border of tiny insignificant towns, facing down mythical monsters?..."
In other words, I'm actually correct on both accounts. Even inside of the world Stephanie Meyer created, I'm correct. Nevermind that fact that I was right to begin with: they are werewolves no matter what they are called in the mythical universe Stephanie Meyer created.
What does this mean? I really don't forget these lame arguments. It's a shame AC is not around to finally admit that he's wrong...something never seen done from him, before. 🙁

Seems like a lot of effort to prove AC wrong, considering he's been perma-banned.
You also have no penis, it happens when males touch any of the Twilight saga novels; it's also irreversable.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i mever thought youd be so wrong 🙁
they arent true werewolves cause they dont change under a full moon, theyre merely shapeshifters whose ancestors happened to have chosen the form of the wolf to change into
[spoiler]its all explained in the last book by the Volturi when Jacob changes in front of them and the three elders get scared shitless at first[/spoilers]
and either way... Stephaine Meyer is a dumbass who wouldnt know what a vampire or werewolf was even if they popped out of her hoo ha and started chowing down on her 🙁
Edward is hot
Bella is me
Both are suicidal
.....They're in love!
Oh, and I want to post my reaction to DDMs quote.
"There was something stuck in my throat, choking me. I tried to swallow it down, but i was lodged there, unmoving. I tried to spit it out."
What, like an apple or something?
'Werewolf,' I gasped."
Oh my ****ing god. Who the hell describes a metaphor in such a way? I'll admit it had me fooled and is artistic, but my whole expectation of wondering what she was choking on disintegrated, as she was just gagging on a taboo word. An actual object she was choking on would've been better, cos then there'd be tension cos she might choke...and die. But no, she just really really really can't believe werewolves exist...and I assume this is after vampires have already been explained to her...and since she's like, really really really smart, the first thought in her head probably would've been werewolves anyway, since everyone else associates the two.
"Yes, that was the word I was choking on."
OMFG. Yes, I know. It sucked.
"The Whole world lurched, tilting the wrong way on its axis."
Ummm, it's just Werewolf. As I said, surely you already know about vampires and such.
This is an example of over-acting/exagerating. Yes, it's a trait all women do, but it's no where near appealing to me.
"What kind of a place was this? "
Hmm, maybe she's in a dangerous place n I'm taking this quote out of context.
"Could a world really exist where ancient legends went wandering around the border of tiny insignificant towns, facing down mythical monsters?..."
Oh, she's on about the world. She's probably in her bedroom then, thinking.
"Mythical monsters"?......... That sounds like something a child would write. And again, ancient legends wandering around the border of tiny insignificant towns? HAVE YOU MET EDWARD? Do you know what he is? He's a.....a.....SAY IT!!! A VAMPIRE!!
Man, this book sucks. If it weren't for every girl thinking they're Bella and wanting to **** Edward, it wouldn't've sold a single book.
Lets just say it how it is:
People in the Twilight universe often don't make the difference between Werewolves and Shapeshifters who can only take form of a wolf. Stephenie Meyer however as "voice of God" differentiates between Werewolves and the Shapeshifters of the Quileute, saying there are also "real" werewolves, like the one that attacked Caius. Now, in this universe here where we live, reality, you might say, that the Quileute Wolves fit at least one definition of Werewolf and can therefore be called that, but they also don't fit other common definitions, and they aren't traditional "werewolves".
We all agree with that, right? We only argue about which part of these things we all absolutely 100% agree about we put most value in. So when we say "they aren't werewolves" we really mean People in the Twilight universe often don't make the difference between Werewolves and Shapeshifters who can only take form of a wolf. Stephenie Meyer however as "voice of God" differentiates between Werewolves and the Shapeshifters of the Quileute, saying there are also "real" werewolves, like the one that attacked Caius. Now, in this universe here where we live, reality, you might say, that the Quileute Wolves fit at least one definition of Werewolf and can therefore be called that, but they also don't fit other common definitions, and they aren't the traditional most famous "werewolves". and similar when we say the opposite.
Okay, can we just leave it now?
