Date Runner Analysis — Twilight
In the first and second Twilight films, Bella thinks she is confused over existential and emotional dilemmas regarding her love interests,
but, even when there are vampires and werewolves involved, it’s not that deep or complicated. Given the Date Runner parameters, her choices are predictable.
Bella is a fairly high score in the Date Runner system. Despite a lot of internal dialogue, Bella doesn’t speak very much and her minimal communication style is usually indicative of an approach
style we call a Minus. However, Bella’s physically proactive behaviors
reveal a more passionate personality underneath with a willingness to participate in physical touch which would make her a Plus. A person with a mixed communication style may be what we call a Hidden Plus due to this masking of sexual approachability.
Jacob’s approach style is a Plus as well, as his comfort with his physical self and desire for intimacy with Bella is quite evident. His communication style matches Bella’s perfectly, but his overall score within the system is not as favorable. Jacob is in great shape, but, if we go by the books, falls outside of desirable dimensions, growing in one Summer from 6'1" to 6'7". Tall is great, but too tall means a point deducted in the appearance category. Women may also blacklist physical features and Bella might not be into hairy guys.
Edward, by comparison, is tall, athletic and classically attractive, though some might say he’s a bit vintage or old-fashioned. His family net worth is 34.1 billion and he has some connections in high places, including the Vatican, which gives him top status marks. Under normal conditions Edward would suffer a penalty for being 105 years old and consequently having an 87 year age gap with Bella, but in the Twilight series vampires do not age like humans do. Edward was turned into a vampire when he was
17 and still looks and acts that way.
Given all this, Edward would be deemed a Great Catch, whereas Jacob is just a good match. As many times as Jacob may try to impress Bella with his shirtless physique, he is doomed.
