Why do we always want the bad boy?

Okay ladies, I know it is hard to pay attention with His Hotness so close to the words...but try!

I have just finished reading Twilight, even with the warning of Kristina, but I kind of liked it. Am I going to wait in line over night to get tickets to see the movie?? NO...but I thought it was a fun read. But, it got me thinking (hence the title), why do girls always want the bad boys? Take the fine specimen of a man to my left. He almost always plays the bad guy in movies, but wow, hotness! Don't worry, I am not obsessed, just admiring some of the Lord's finest work ;-)

In Twilight, I kind of wanted to smack Bella around a little for being so whiny, and Edward for putting up with it. And, he tells her over and over, that he is no good for her, she can get hurt...but she can't stay away.

I put a pic of my boy Vin on here instead of the kid that is playing the movie version of Twilight b/c I don't think the actor is cute at all...and I needed to prove my point. (yeah, that is a good excuse!)

Am I the only one that has ever pursued a guy I knew was bad for me, and completely ignored everything people were telling me, and what I was seeing for myself (this is in NO WAY related to my Sexy beast!)??

Do we really think we can change them? Do we want to change ourselves just to be with them?

I also didn't think that the book should be geared towards teenage readers...yeah, a little too much sexual tension, in my opinion, for that target age group.

I am going to continue to read the rest of the series...sorry Kristina...b/c I thought it was entertaining, and it is nice to have something to read that isn't related to Nursing, and the only other thing in my house is military war history books...or Halo (um, that would be a no).

Who else had read the series, and what did you think?
