So, the relatively new (or at least new to me) phenomenon of a vampire who doesn't want to be a monster is very appealing to me!

I am not attracted to Robert Pattinson, although I think he's handsome. Sometimes he does look too thin and disheveled, but I think he's a good looking guy for the most part. But, I kinda like those pretty boys sometimes (look at Johnny Depp, he's definitely got a delicate look about him in many ways!). But, on the other side of the coin, Russell Crowe makes my heart flip flop. And, there's nothing "pretty" about him!

And, don't get me wrong, I know there are many people attracted to others strictly on good looks, but beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. One person's trash is another's treasure, right?
You are definitely right!! I probably sounded shallow and I am as far away as a person can get for being shallow. I always think it's what a person has inside that's going to be lasting and important. Nothing wrong with good looks but it isn't in my top 5 important things.

I really pride myself on giving everything the benefit of the doubt and I try not to judge anything without doing this first. I know some of us "older" folks are very quick to stereotype people and trends and it just isn't right.

Kari, I think I was crazy enough to believe that the attraction described on tv was purely for looks. People refer to Rob as "hot" and I took it as a looks thing. I heard Rob say he is exhausted from touring to promote the movie. Poor guy looks worn out. I don't mind the disheveled look either. With him, I think I worry that he looks sick sometimes and extremly thin. This must be my motherly instincts kicking in. Like saying, "He looks like he could use a home cooked meal and some sleep".

I'm not really sure why the vampire thing has gotten so popular. Back in the day, it was Dark Shadows--dating myself terribly. I guess there is a certain darkness involved here. Dark romance.

Maybe this older lady needs to go see the movie and find out what I'm missing!! Huh?
