Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Because if Meyer was any less subtle about how supposedly gorgeous Edward is she'd be coming round to beat our heads against the wall and scream it at us!. Apparently, a lot of people are lapping this up - enough that it makes them overlook the fact that he is the very definition of an emotionally abusive, obsessive stalker!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because SMeyer tells her readers that he's the perfect guy!.

She shows us something different, but the people who are infatuated with him are generally not the people who actually READ a book!. They take in the words at face value, nothing more!. They don't see beyond what the author tells them, and so to them, Edward is the perfect gentleman and unbelievably sexy!.!.!. Despite him showing EVERY trait of a abusive, emotionally-controlling stalker!. They see his suicidal actions and still being a virgin of one hundred plus years and "protecting" Bella from everything (except himself, of course -headdesk-) as romantic, because that's what Meyer says it is!.

Fangirl logic astounds me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's because he is portrayed as noble!. He has a strong potential for evil but also has strong ideas about what is right and wrong!. He is noble enough to overcome the evil part of him!. Most of us would like to think we are strong enough to overcome the monster inside of us!. I think that's what makes him an appealing character!.

I'm not a big Twilight fan myself, but I can see why some people are drawn to this story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is because he is so protective and he loves his girl Bella so much!. He puts his life in danger numerous times just to save her and he would be willing to kill a member of his own family to not let any harm come to her!. He would do anything to protect her and he loves her more than anything!.

Every girl would want a man to be like that!. Ready to jump in front of a bullet to save them!. I know I would kill to have Edward Cullen as my boyfriend!.

You really should read the books and you'll grow to love him to!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because apparently abusive, personality-less, controlling, boring, shallow, freezing stalkers are "perfect" as long as they are romantic and hot!. The fangurlz overlook his stalker qualities, though, and just accept the fact that Edward is "perfect", since the author says so!. They don't look any deeper into the story than what Smeyer says, because Smeyer is God to half of them!. I agree with the girl below me-- fangurl logic is appalling at times!.

They seem to have some obsession with vampires too, though I don't know why, since Smeyer's vamps are lame!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me the whole vampire thing drew me in!. I have loved them/wanted to be one since I first saw one around age 6!. When I read Twilight I was just like 'OMG Stephenie Meyer totally knows me!' But I don't want "Edward" someone like Edward!? YES!!
I think he has perfectly admirable qualities about him!. He cares for Bella so much, he is protective, but he doesn't keep her on a short leash, he is intelligent, passionate, kind, he can dance and sing!. A man that can play the piano absolutely melts my heart as well!. Oh and we can't forget that he is absolutely beautiful can we!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's just the way he is portrayed in the novel!. at the end of my cop of new moon [i don't know whether its in other copies too] stephenie meyer says that it's because hes a gentleman, and it so hard to come by one of those these days!.
and plus coz the actor is damn hot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

because hes a caring, protective, loving and also hot!.
hes like the perfect boyfriend,Www@QuestionHome@Com

They think he's hot and romantic and!.!.!. he's just been written in a way where infatuation is basically inevitable!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because he is forbidden!. People always want what they can't have!. Always have, always will!. Its Adam and Eve over and over and over!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

hey you have an infautation too don't you!?You said you "loved him"in your other question so maybe you should ask yourself why girls love him huh!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
