Twilight Series Boys reading Twilight

So, how many of you know boys who diss on Twilight ALL THE TIME?

Quick story for you: my best friend Julia invited me to spend Easter with her family. Julia's sisters husband (you still following me) had the nerve to say that Twilight is the "destoyer of marriage". He was being sarcastic but, as you can image, Julia, her sister, and I all complained about it instantly.
He felt that once a woman reads Twilight her husband/boyfriend suddenly isn't romantic enough. His attatude about it was "I'll be as romantic as Edward when I'm over 100 years old too!"
I know of 3 guys that have read Twilight and liked it. Julia actually made a deal with her husband and now he's reading it (and liking it as far as we can tell :D)
So out of curiousity, how many of you have guy friends that have read Twilight and are liking it? If you don't have any, leave a funny story about a guy and his reaction to the books.

Wow. I did always think of Twilight as a major "chick" book, soon to be a major chick flick. No, right now I don't know of any guys who've even read the book, but I'll look into it. I'll force my cousin to read it over the summer if I have to! That would be fun... But yeah, a guy's reaction... "Dude! Edward is gay as hell! And when will this thing end!? How many pages does it take to write about a vampire falling in love with a girl ad killing her!?" THE END
We all know boys think differently.

Haha! I like your guy's reacation! Well Julia's husband finished Twilight. And though he'll never admitt it, we both think he likes it. He says it is a major chick book but he seems to like the fighting. Thanks for responding to my post!

I've sold the Twilight series to a couple of boys at a bookstore, and knew that at least one was actually buying it for himself. But I don't know of any of my guy friends who are reading the book...that is, I haven't asked them.

I heard about Twilight from my guy friend. He's got all the twilight books signed and Stephenie has his address and wrote him a letter. And he's straight.

i found out some guy in my music class really likes the Twilight series too. He's pretty obsessed like me. I think he's read Twilight about 4 times. He always brings it into class to read it, and i take it and read all my favourite parts.

My brother read the first chapter of Midnight Sun and he liked that but when i tried to make him read Twilight he would not because it was from a girls point of view, lol though he said when Midnight Sun comes out he would read it then! lol

I have also thought of Twilight as a chick book. I don't know any guys who are reading it but whenever I talk about it they're always like, "What's so good about the book?", and I'm like' "Everything."

I only started reading Twilight two weeks ago (Yeah....read all three of them now though =P ) and I was sitting on my couch, leaning against my friend reading the book and I thought he was watching tv but then I got to the end of this one page and he said "Hold on! I haven't got to the end of the page yet" and I hadn't realised it but he had been reading over my shoulder the whole time =D He also refuses to admit he likes it but he did want to know if Bella and ALice got to Edward in time =D I think I should buy him the books for his birthday because nobody I know is a twilight addict and I need somebody to squeel with =D

The girl who introduced twilight to me had a guy friend who liked the book, but he's the only one I know. I don't think the books a chick thing, 'cause I don't normally read chick books, ya know, romances and such. I never thought of it as a chick thing, I don't see why guys would either.

its weird, i got one of my friends into it and he LOVES it. and he doesn't like to read. Its now his favorite series lol.
Then another friend of mine saw my DP on msn which was something about edward I think and he was all like "another edward fan?" and making fun of me and stuff and saying that he is edward ect. I think hes read the first one, but thinks of it more of a chick thing and hates how everyone loves edward lol.

I'm in the process of convincing a male Fanpopper to read the series. I'll make him come to this forum and express his thoughts once he gives in. =P

I made my brother read it. I KNOW he secretly liked it. His reaction: Um, yeah, it's pretty good, I guess. But, not as good as Dune.

Hehe. I'm gonna drag him to the movie, too!

cool
Im a guy and love twilight. However I would like to point out that Edward had a unique oportunity to show Bella how he felt on a consistant level. She was always getting into trouble and he there to save her. Most relationships aren't that adventurous and lets face it most men aren't that good at comunicating. Personally I don't think Edwards behavior is out of proportion. If anything it seems like a pretty standard guy reaction (him wanting her safe/feeling like he could do anything because of her).
It's only the semi constant danger that throws things out of proportion.

Trust me when we find the one thats right (relationship/girlfriend) we know it too.

As I sad guys aren't good at communication.
