I was attacked by Twilight fangirls on the bus... Scariest moment of my life.

[Dango]

Tis' true. You don't look like Shrek.

I told a girl I didn't let Twilight and she slapped me. And then her friend slapped me. We have to stop this madness!

Wait, what!? I've old plenty of girls I don't like Twilight and all they say is something along the lines of "Well, you're a boy, so..." I've never had to deal with that kind of fandom.

You know, I have the opposite situation. I share a flat with two girls. And although they're entertained by the films (they've just been watching New Moon, as a matter of fact), neither is particularly a fan of the series. I, on the other hand (a guy, by the way), own the four books, and enjoyed the films when I saw them in cinemas (though I've stopped short of getting the DVDs or the extra novella that was released with the latest film). And I know a mix of girls and guys who enjoyed the films (not sure if they've read the books).

Don't judge me, okay? I see them as a guilty pleasure in the same way I sort of enjoy reading Dan Brown books, or watching 'kid's anime' like Yu-Gi-Oh! - that is, I enjoy them as entertainment but don't really appreciate them as good examples of their media form, because they genuinely aren't. I also enjoy reading Discworld or the works of Horowitz or Gaiman (more modern stuff) and Tolkien (well, sort of). I have an interest in gothic literature such as Dorian Gray and Dracula. So I do know what good literature is. But I still enjoy Twilight for entertainment purposes.

Then again, I'm somewhat fortunate in that I've never seen crazy-ass Twilight fanboys/girls anywhere. The only time I've ever been in a position where meeting such crazies was likely was when I saw the films, but I avoided it by doing my usual ritual of only ever seeing late screenings of films (I prefer going late at night because it means fewer people around, so a better and more immersive atmosphere, and fewer people talking and ruining the film - besides, the McDonalds by my local cinema is open until midnight, so perfect place for an after-movie supper ).

You could always get an odd haircut or could just, you know, tell them they are being creepy and weird. Seriously, that whole scene just sound so surreal.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

I've been told I look like that Robert Pattinson dude before. I see only a very slim resemblance, but every few days back in highschool some girl would come up to me and told me I looked like him. It didn't help that I didn't care about my hair back then, and let it go wavy and everywhere, like Robbo does.

But yesterday I had to catch a bus home that picks up students from highschools around the city. Lots of younger teens I had been glad I could avoid going to college. When I sat down, I saw about six girls, (around fifteen or so) looking and pointing at me and giggling... I just ignored them.

BUT THEN one of them came and sat next to me, and just said: "Do you know you look like Robert Pattinson?"

I said I had been told that before. And yeah, that's when the chaos started.
Long story short, they kind of mobbed me, played with my hair and tried to force me to sign their legs and stuff. It was so awkward, because a girl I had known from my old school was sitting behind me, and we exchanged disbelieving looks now and again. Eventually half of them had to get off the bus (THANK GOD).

I swear, Twilight is like a cult. It's insane how some people can be so obsessed with something they lose all self control. Remember those stories about how people have been trampled to death at Twilight movie premiers?

Have you had any run-ins with Twi-hards or Twilight fans? I once told a girl I didn't like Twilight, and she has barely spoken to me since. If I told these girls they'd probably exorcise me or something.

What about you, though?

I understand how you feel, I'm told I look like the one guy from the Vampire Diaries. (<url=http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4048/damon2.jpg>this guy) Luckily, that show isn't anywhere near as popular, or filled with fangirls. You shouldn't take it as an insult though, if anything, it's a compliment.

If they really piss you off, tell them you are Robert Pattinson, and they should go die or something. That'd break their psyche for a bit. XD

 

[Motiv_]

Back before I got my most recent haircut, I was told that I looked like Mark Wahlberg. Not the old man Wahlberg, I'm talking more 4 Brothers Wahlberg.

I wasn't swarmed like you were, but it was kinda funny all the same.

 

[Ickorus]

If I was you I would so be taking advantage of looking like that guy.

 

[Kristoffer Sivertsen]

Quit your bitchin', at least you don't look like Shrek.

This combined with your picture = WIN

 

[archvile93]

You know, a lot of people would probably say "what the fuck are you complaining about? Girls were all over you and telling you you're hot and stuff!" But, I'm not like them. I know what it's like to have standards that supersede sex (and pedophilia for those not paying attention to the girls' age). A "hot" body does nothing to outweigh a brain taken over by this Twilight crap. So, in all honesty, I can say: dude, that sucks. I'm so sorry you had to be subjected to that much retardation.

Gotta agree with this.

 

[vxicepickxv]

Thank god Hawaii 5-0 fans aren't crazy, because I do look a bit like Jack Lord.

The most awkward thing was I had just spent a day together with the girl I really care about... Gaaaah...

Yeah, thanks man. It's nice to see another guy who's not just into it for the sexy times. A guy who actually cares about 'that romance crap that girls love so much.'

Well that's just shit, man; way to have a good day ruined. I don't get why so many guys automatically assume having multiple girls crawling all over you is a win win situation. That happened to me once in Vietnam, and they were basically trying to rob/rape me. (Plus I'm not sure all of them WERE girls...)

I have no problem with people who like Twilight, but many of them act like evangelists who have to silence non-believers. Plus they often act as though it's a standard against which to judge all literature. I was in a Creative Writing course last year and there was a pack of about four girls who compared Every.Shitting.Thing to Twilight. When I had to submit work I deliberately wrote a parody of the genre and Stephanie Meyer's godawful style: imagine the grin on my face when the most annoying of them said 'It really reminds me of Twilight!'

 

[pyrosaw]

I know what you mean....sort of. i look alot like Slash from Guns and Rose, and I get all the metal chicks. The difference is that they aren't all that annoying.

 

[Daverson]

Grow a moustache. This will prevent Twilight fans mobbing you for two reasons:
1. Moustaches are manly. Manliness is like poison to these people.
2. You won't look like that other guy anymore.

You could also grow a beard, which would have a similar result.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Wait, they played with you? That sounds bad, but not tortuos. Very creepy, but kind of...

Well, Twilight is what it is; I've never seen a movie or read a book, so I can't criticize it.

Oh, that very sentence written above has gotten me made fun of by a lady friend I had.

 

[CrazyMedic]

for Halloween I went as like a vampire hunter van helsing I had a cross-bow hat and trench coat with a little messenger bag with these wanted posters with Edwards face on it and was just handing them out to people I made a point of handing them to the girls I knew liked twilight and christ they are space marines "and we shall no fear while the great Edward watches over us in pitch battle with his nemesis (insert werewolf guy's name here" I was at least a head over most of the girls and one tried to kick me in the balls not to mention the glares and such I got, so overall it was a good night.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Best way to deal with known Twilight fans: Start talking about vague, vampire themes that could pertain to Twilight. Then, when one of them asks if you're talking about Twilight, respond with "No, we're talking about vampires." Don't add on a direct Twilight insult or anything, just say that. I have pissed off so many annoying Twilight fans with this.

Luckily, every friend I have that does enjoy Twilight can acknowledge how bad the series actually is.

 

[GenericAmerican]

I asked my little sister if she like Twilight...she said 'Hell no'

 

[ANImaniac89]

I was once bitten by a Twi-hard, the ***** even drew blood.
I had to go to the ER and everything.

Also Robert Pattinson looks like a Foot and resembling him is nothing to be proud of.
