Something that you said, "His only care in the world is Bella." Typically, when a guy has no other cares in the world besides his girl, that generally means that he probably doesn't even know how to truly care about her either. Men of good character have many things that they care about, work, accomplishments, friends, family, church, the community, animals, the list goes on. If a guy doesn't care about ANYTHING, it's because he doesn't know how/won't make the choice to care. You cannot make the decision to not care about anything, while simultaneously caring about something at the same time. I disagree with you that this story shows vulnerable love. It actually shows the opposite. Neither character opens up to each other on a deep level of understanding. Both characters are lonely and want to avoid major things in their lives. So they put all of their energy towards each other and obsess. Again, these movies set a terrible example of ''love'' and romance.

My boyfriend is no longer happy with his life since the last movie came out. He wants to change his whole life and physical appearances to emulate the characters. (So much for his college degree.) Aside from that, these movies give HORRIBLE examples of teen love. Bella is a very weak character first of all, and she has no personality or life. Her whole world revolves around these guys that supposedly ''love'' her and nothing more. In real life, marriage-material men want someone who has something going for her; hobbies, interests, a personality, a career, self-respect. Bella has none of those things. Girls who follow after these movies and books religiously, need to realize that the type of romance which is portrayed here, is actually setting them up for failure, abuse, and an unfulfilled life. There is more to life than just getting married to someone, or just having a baby. I was absolutely horrified when I saw twilight merchandise that said ''I would rather die than live without you.'' This is not a romantic sentiment. This is especially promoting girls and even women to place their entire sense of self-worth and value one whether or not a man of romantic interest in some faction is prevalent in their lives. Women, I urge you to not base your idea of what your love story should be on these movies. No man is EVER going to live up to your EXACT standard of Edward. If the reason that you like Edward so much is because he wants to remain celibate until marriage, because he is ''old-fashioned.'' There ARE in fact guys like that currently residing in the world! Don't devalue them because they aren't ''exactly'' like Edward. Edward is an emotionless, creepy stalker, who claims to ''love'' Bella and is mostly intrigued by her because he ''can't read her thoughts.'' How degrading is that? Edward is only interested in her because she has nothing going on in her mind. Bella is a bad example because she is needy, clingy, stupid and has no sense of self-worth. Stand-up guys do not want to be in a relationship with a girl that is like that. These are not people we should hold up as good examples of a healthy romance.

I too am In a relationship that is starting to be effected by the Twilight movies, only its the other way around in my case. Twilight is not only changing the way girls act in life, but males too. My boyfriend LOVES these movies and now he wants to change careers and change his looks to be more like the twilight characters. The people who are obsessed with these movies are leaving rationality behind them. Aside from the very poor writing, and directing, and acting, these movies have a TERRIBLE impact on society!!!
