Please. It’s what I expected it to be.
This whole Edward thing is such a joke.
It just creates the idea in people’s minds that this person is the ideal husband.
Why?
It’s like watching a corny love movie. Let’s just say it’s one of “those” Indian movies.
Guy likes girl, girls parents reject guy, guy won’t give up, guy pleads love for his woman, guy says he’ll do anything for her, guy says i love you too many times.
But the difference is, in the Indian movies, they never really show what happens after the marriage.
Edward is different in the sense that he’s fulfilling the promise all the way. He protects her, he takes care of her.
He’s caring, generous, understanding, and always has Bella’s best interest in mind. It’s the small things, like how he always opens her door or how he composed her own lullaby that make girls all over the world swoon for him.
And I quote: “All I want is a boyfriend who will call me beautiful, not hot.”
LOL please. I’m Muslim. I’ve gone to high school. I’m not stupid.
Edward doesn’t have to worry about money. He doesn’t have to worry about kids. He doesn’t have to worry about whether or not his mother-in-law is happy. He doesn’t have to worry about problems between his woman and his mother.
So why is he so attractive? Because it’s a fake relationship.
Yes. Fake relationship.
It’s a fake marriage.
For crying out loud he’s a freaking VAMPIRE.
Stephanie Meyer is just showing you the highest peak of a relationship, except that peak lasts through the ENTIRE FREAKING BOOK.
This relationship is exactly what a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship is in high school. There is no difference. All it is is “blah blah blah I love you so much, la la la let me write this song for you, let me sing for you how much I love you.”
Yeah.. NO.
He has no sense of any responsibility other than Bella being safe. That’s all he literally does.
Sure there’s that honeymoon period in every marriage where you don’t care about a thing in the world. There are tons of guys that are like this. You really don’t think Muslim guys would like their wife as much as this guy likes Bella?
We’re Muslims for crying out loud. We’ve been WAITING our entire freaking lives for one woman. It’s that point you reach when your emotions are crazy and you listen to feelings rather than reason.
That feeling you get when you want to just buy her anything she wants just because it’ll make her happy. It’s like your heart is pumping 10,000 times faster and you’re loving every second of it.
But then, you also have to understand why girls DON’T like Edward, mostly non-Muslim girls.
They like Jacob more.
Why? Because non-Muslim girls don’t really look towards the long-term. They don’t like Edward because he comes off as too much of a needy, obsessive like freak. Jacob is desired more because he’s much like the dream guy. Funny, outgoing, sweet, romantic. He’s all in one.
Edward just gets boring after a while.
Muslim girls know that there’s only really going to be one man in their life. Thus Edward is the perfect “man” because he treats her like she’s the only girl in the world who deserves his love.
The reason Edward is prized more than Jacob is the fact that Edward just loves the living hell out of Bella. Someone put some Vampire love spell into him and he’s just addicted to her like a cocaine addict.
Sure you can say they get married in the later books but it still doesn’t change any of the facts.
Muslim guys don’t even have to try to be like this kid, we’ve been channeling all that emotion and all that feeling for that one person we’re going to get. There’s no reason to try to be this guy.
Imitation is a sign of weakness. It shows you don’t have originality, that you have certain insecurities.
Not caring what the heck people think of you emits a sort of self-worth. It doesn’t really matter what you look like, it will always be on how you present yourself.
It doesn’t matter how good your looks are, because in the end if you aren’t interesting enough, people won’t be interested in you.
Believing that you’re not as cool as one guy or as daring as another guy just portrays what you think of yourself.
Don’t conform. Be who you really are.
This whole relationship image of Edward and Bella sucks. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad book, but it’s more of just an influence thing than anything else. Same thing happened in other books, like with Mr. Darcy and Heathcliff. Mr. Darcy was pretty cool though, not gonna lie.
But overall, Casanova FTW.
