I think I see the Vampire appeal now...

I mean, what do people of our age group, 15 to 21 fear the most? That impending doom that approaches year by year…. Adulthood.

Not the kinky parts of adulthood. The responsibilities of adulthood. No one wants to pay bills or be considered too old for certain hobbies or put up with the demands of society (both financial ones and ones by peers).

We want to stay at our prime, man. Whether your physically fit now or not, we aren’t getting more in shape as we age. Things get bigger (not the way we want them to), parts sag, we get sick, wrinkles, loss of metabolism…..

we just… Lose ourselves to age. This especially is scary for girls.



Oh… But this immortal sexy guy shows up. And he’s offering 2 things.



1: He’s so alone and miserable for no reason, and he’s brooding, and for another dumb reason he’s desperate for love, either emotionally or physically (whichever the lady prefers). And he chooses you. And wants to please you and blah blah blah blah blah blah fulfills your deires blah blah makes your "boring life" better blah.


2: He can easily make you immortal as well. And these powers can also make you hot as well (depending on the kind of fictional vampire your dealing with).



Yes, I see why this is the ultimate geek girls’ fantasy. A good looking immortal guy that can make you the same and is offering unlimited sex, devotion, and attention. 

And sex. No matter how unattractive you seem to everyone else.



HOWEVER— there is a big flaw. Yes, this vamp/wolf guy can give a bite and make you awesome…


BUT— and every guy will do this:


We wouldnt stay. Even if you were left alive with neck intact. The reason is simple. 


If there is an immortal 15 - 21 year old dude out there, he’s having the time of his never-ending life. 

Just keep it up.... she's gunna put out any second...


Not fulfilling the mortal girl’s fantasy, but their own fantasies. And oh what fantasies us pig headed men have.


Vamp/wolf boy would just travel the world and mate with everything he sees. Even your mother if he’s curious. And he can leave. Maybe come back for your daughters and granddaughters years later. Like friggin Peter Pan. 


Why? Because he has the benefit of facing no consequences. He can binge drink, do a butt load of drugs, eat a ton of food and NEVER gain weight (well, assuming you're vamp powers keep you at your physical peak like some super soldier serum). 

He can do what he wants, and never be seen again.

Cops gonna stop him? Pffffff, like normal bullets have ever worked on vampires or wearwolves (well maybe if you take off limbs and heads, but we’re speaking practically here)

Yes, its true. Being a vampire isn’t about feeling bad because you out-live people (that would eventually annoy you anyway) or complaining because your sexy forever. It’s about doing what you want without consequences.


The movie Lost Boys had the right idea. Twilight and TruBlood and Vampire Diaries just played to to the female ego and libido.

And yes, I am a huge believer that women have a bigger ego than men. Think about it.

Oh, and you know why so many vampires seem gay? Because they're selling this fiction to geek girls, and alot of these girls have yaoi/gay fetishes. I don’t recommend googling it.
