You know, I can empathize with the teenage frenzy that would swim into shark-infested waters to bring Edward “RPattz” Cullen some supplementary hair product. After all, Edward Cullen is really no more unrealistically attainable than, say, Jake Ryan (Sixteen Candles) or Jordan Catalano (“My So-Called LIfe”), and teenage girls (and boys) are rather uncultivated when it comes to matters of taste. However, I do not understand the “Twilight Moms” phenomenon… that’s just creepy.

As a tween/teen I never expressed any interest in pop-culture and seemed to be one of only a few girls at school who didn’t subscribe to Teen Beat magazine. My first crush was at about age 7 and it was Donny Osmond and that was the end of it right there.
By 13 I had seen Cool Hand Luke and found myself utterly enamored of a certain already middle-aged man. To this day I still think Paul Newman was one of the sexiest men to ever live.
The idea of 40-something year old women masturbating to the fantasy of R-Pattz or, worse, the Taylor kid, makes me more than just a bit embarrased for them.
Worse: imagine being their teenage daughter.
Oooh, Paul Newman was entirely attractive. Don’t forget about Al Pacino.
I am mystified by the whole “cougar” phenomenon actually. If I screwed 20-somethings for sport I’m sure I’d get some kind of nickname, but I don’t think it would be very flattering.

Dude? stud? Da Man??
Well, I don’t really find “cougar” that flattering at all. It only reminds me of Sharon Stone… even in her younger years.

Here, here.
I have a teenaged daughter and I can commiserate. Hell, my first celebrity crush was Tom Brokaw (no shit) when I was around 10. I am in my early 30′s and I know other mothers who I am almost ashamed to admit I am on a first name basis with.
I do NOT see the appeal of Robert Whatshisnuts, sexually. Even his fucking doll looks like a junky. Give me Eli Roth any day of the week and thrice on Saturday.
I don’t think all those older women love rob but more the romantic ness of Edward Cullen in the movie. His character is exactly what every woman dreams of. Even older housewives!
its pretty simple really, compared to men women dont get that much to drool over. what madonna said about men her age comes to mind. and yes there is a double standard highlighted in “I R A Darth Aggie” post. yeah its a bit creepy, but men have been drooling over teenage girls for years-no one remember britney back in the day. i dont remember them getting chastised for i mainly she got that. either way its not right but thats the truth.
btw i mean either way its not ok older pervs drooling over teens no matter their sex.
