You wouldn't be able to go out in daylight, touch silver, eat garlic, enter a house without being invited, etc. And of course, you'd also have to drink blood and perhaps kill humans.
Dude, I'm super antisocial, don't wear bling, not that crazy about garlic and I'm basically a misanthrope, exluding very few selected people.

So, bring on the undeath I guess.

If possible I'd rather be a werewolf, but meh, can't have everything.

Let's see... Absolutely not. Think of the all cons! Think of the vampire hunters and all the other issues arising. I rather keep being a human. The only thing I will probably turn into would be a dragon though...

I have to say no, vampires flicks have been going down a steady downfall rate after blade 2 and twilight was rock bottom so the appeal have vanished for me entirely

It means I would be closely associated with Twilight, and that simply cannot happen. I vote Nay.

No. A thousand times no. I love my warmth, my sunshine, don't particularly like the taste of blood, nor the idea of killing people. Plus, why would I want to sit around for eternity and watch everyone I love die around me? It would end up being a very lonely existance. So no, never in a million years.
What if you could turn them into vampires too?
And subject them to the same misery I'd be experiencing? I'm not that cruel. If I ever became a vampire I would commit suicide.
what misery? you'd be there, you'd have your vampire friends, you would sleep in the day and you wouldn't need to kill people, just turn them into vampires. and i'm pretty sure blood would taste better as a vampire.
That was part of my point...I LIKE the daytime. I don't want to be immortal. I don't want to drink blood. And I love warmth. Being a vampire sounds horrible.

Let's weigh up the pros and cons here. I'm going to assume, for the record, that we're talking about vampires that still have blood-flow, because contrary to popular belief most fictional vampires still have some sort of blood-flow in their bodies, as do most of the traditional vampires in older myths and legends (that pre-date Stoker and Le Fanu), and indeed a lot of traditional vampires needed this because they used sex as a tool for attracting their prey, similar to the incubus and succubus that are so commonly associated with the vampires of legend.

Pros:

- I find the gothic style to be really attractive.
- I have a bizarre fascination with darkness and the occult.
- I'd be immortal.
- I'd be much more able to seduce girls.
- I'd be able to turn into certain animals, which would be awesome.
- I'd be able to limit my prey to criminals, thus doing society a favour while I feed.
- Super strength.
- Super speed.

Cons:

- I like garlic.
- I like daylight.
- I have to cross running water to get to plenty of places, including work.
- Immortality is no good when all your friends and family eventually die.
- Too much risk of me touching silver.
- It'd annoy my flatmates if they have to 'invite' me back into the flat every time I go out.
- Angry mobs would kind of get annoying after a while.

Hmmmmm, it's a tough call. It depends. If it's a sexy female vampire who seduces me then turns me into one, a la most vampire fiction, then maybe yes. Probably, though, I'd prefer to stay human. There are too many benefits of being human that I wouldn't want to give up.

If I get the sexy female vampire lovin' anyway, without being turned, then sure, that would work. Or if I could be a vampire like the sort on TV series 'Being Human' then I'd be willing to be turned. But otherwise, probably not...

I couldn't become a Vampire. I would love it so much, and I wouldn't care about the lack of sunshine - but I don't have it in my to kill people for sustenance.

Yes, mainly because of the immortality and increased strength and speed, also I hate the sunlight, gives me horrible headaches and is just plain annoying.

I would however not kill humans, just purchase human blood from a blood bank or something like that.

Pretty much as long as I can survive without killing other it would be a dream come true. Freedom from sickness and death, the chance to see all the wonders of the future. I'm shocked the poll isn't all yes.

Sort of a maybe-yes. I'm more or less nocturnal anyway. On the other hand, I'm not quite enough of a sociopath to simply write off the kills necessary to sustain the blood-lust.

I don't care for garlic, dislike sunlight, hate humans and think blood is delicious. I've also always liked vampires, at least before f*in' twilight! So being one would be a dream come true. So to answer your question, FUCK YES!

If we're talking proper Stokeress vamps then no way, being evil aint an attractive prospect

Yes. The ability to watch the ages pass and witness the changes in society would be a very fascinating experience.

I'd have all the time in the world to do whatever I wanted and experience a wide variety of things. I'd jump at the chance.

YES. I would only do it if the vampires were the Ann Rice type like the vampire Le Stat.
