Confessions of a Twi-Guy
Andrew, a junior editor at GQ, wrote an article confessing his love of the Twilight series.
You can read the whole article here.
I say you go Andrew!!!
You know you are not alone!!!
Here is an excerpt:
What I’m about to say ain’t gonna be easy. It’s not going to win me any points with my co-workers. It’s not going to help me out in the women department. And it’s definitely not going to impress my fraternity brothers from college (Sorry guys). It is going to feel a hell of a lot better once I spit it out though…
I like Twilight.
After hearing that my colleagues were viewing New Moon this afternoon for Worst Movie of the Week, I realized that I couldn’t cower in the closet any longer.
I know what you’re thinking: How does this happen to a guy? I couldn’t even tell you. I got my ass handed to me by Let the Right One In. And then there was True Blood. And then the True Blood reruns and just about every cult vampire flick made in the last two decades…and one day I did it. I’ll just hit and quit it, I thought. No one has to know about this. I shelled out the $12.50—that’s right, I didn’t even stumble upon it via On Demand or something. I saw it in theaters—and gave the confused preteen next to me with acne, pigtails, and braces my best STFU face. Six months, one movie, and all four books later, I’m one of those certifiable Twihards with advance-purchase tickets.

Just try to ignore it like I ignore you. ^^
Glad someone said it…you so are not the only one!
yes. true point. i comment first sometimes. and when i comment first i actually type a comment on the subject AND THEN type first comment.
thank god
Ugh, everyone’s a critic. -_-
Don’t be mad Team Alice, but it is anoying… you do write goob comments when you actually comment lol
You know, “first comment” is not a comment
.. and now past the first comment convo. … I see nothing wrong with a guy being obsessed with twilight. My best guy friend and I buy our tickets as soon as possible and then wait in line for ( our record) 4 1/2 hrs for both twilight and HP ( and by the way, I think I just posted the first real comment)
Well I have to admit when twilight hit theaters my wife wanted to see it one night but i said heck no, no chick flicks tonight it’s my B-Day we are watching action. So she waited until Dvds hit the shelves and she jumped as soon as they hit. Took me a week to finally watch the whole movie with her. Three kids make it hard to pay attention to a movie. Anyways once I sat down and watched the movie all the way threw I had to admit I loved it. She told me if I liked the movie then I should really read atleast the twilight book because the movie was lacking a bunch of details. I’ve NEVER been able to pick up a fictional book and read it like I did the twilight saga. I really enjoy history, thats my thing, Non-Fiction used to be the only type of books that could hold my interest. 4 days after watching twilight with my wife, I had already read all 4 books, it took just 4 days to get me totally hooked. What I find remarkable is that I saw twilight before I read the books and when I read the books I can only picture the cast from the movie as the characters in the book. O yea and the whole pre order tickets thing, Yea we bought ours they day they were avaliable on fandago.com.
i’m not ashamed ot my twi-guy status i love the volturi and the wolves and vladimir and stefan in breaking dawn

i think more guys should get into twilight.i know once they read it they would start to like it.
team edward<3
i’m with you…go and slap it to their faces…hahahahahaha….
Well, I believe you would have to introduce the books carefully to the younger guy crowd. I don’t know how to explain it, but I think you know what I mean. Don’t take that the wrong way and think I’m in my 40’s or something I’m only 27. My wife and I have actually been together for 11 years, we meet in high school and we have been married for 5 years. I told you that to explain my point, because I believe it takes the kind of guy that dosen’t care about what his other guy friends think of what he does or what he likes. At the same time he must be willing to put aside is testosterone fueled tendencies to shy away from anything “Girly”. Like I said my wife and I have been together for 11 years, well as you can imagine after 11 years we know each other inside and out just like best friends. Now that I’ve said that I have to admit something and it’s probably going to sound corny. It’s not something my wife and I talk about but, I feel it and I’m positive she does as well. I believe that shareing the Twilight saga experience has actually brought us closer together. I know how that sounds but I don’t know how else to explain it.
as you can see I’m not the type of guy that has trouble talking about my feelings.
