Why on earth would you want to be a vampire?

Sophie yeah being a vampire is just weird. i mean you're drinking people's blood as a supplement of food. it's gross and kind of revolting. being a werewolf would be so much better, simply because you're warmer, naturally, but then again on the negative side, you eat raw meat which is still pretty disgusting, but so much better than eating humans


BubblesTheMonkey (if you're referring to SM's vampires)...

I wouldn't have to be ugly anymore.


Jordan Bella doesn't nessisarily want to be a vampire at first. she wants to be with edward forever. but as the story goes along, she realizes that this life is right for her. but it is all about edward. if he died, she would never want to be a vampire because the reson she wants to be one is because she wants him.


Kaketin Who so you can kill ppl with ur awesome sparkles!!!

FACT: I wouldn't have to kill- BLOOD BAGS all the way baby. Even if I did, it would be okay I think because it is my nature. Like no one gets all bent out of shape when a lion kills a deer right?

Shae I'd hate being a vampire. Reasons!
-To become one, you suffer extreme pain.
-Eternal life, it might sound cool, but if you take the time to really think about it, it'd completely suck. Eighty years on earth will be enough for me.
-You wouldn't really be able to hang out with people (humans), it'd remind you of your thirst and you'll know that one day they'll all die. Talk about depressing.
-If you ever do die, it'll be extremely painful.
-You'd have to be careful with everything. You could break your computer in half as you try to type.
-Eventually I'd go insane. It's too many lifetimes for one person to live through.
-If vampires are allergic to sunlight, you'll never be able to visit the library. The library usually closes when the sun goes down.
-Sugar will never taste the same again.


Kaila i love bunnicula.. but not the point of this.. my add to this is that i woulda stayed human and gone with jacob lol.. not a big fan of edward ;) lol

NO offense or anything but you barely know us to actually consider us a pessimist, optimist, or even a realist. In my perspective your just prejudging when you don't know someone you shouldn't just put a label on them.


Siobhan Technically, I am a vampire. I have a small wound at the base of my neck, and have taken other people's blood into my own body.

Central line supplying me with donated blood. Still wouldn't recommend it, if you can avoid it.

Jeni I would leap on the opportunity in a heartbeat (no pun intended).

Who says you have to pick them at random, go for blondes if you want a sweeter taste, and darker colours for stronger and more refined tastes. :)

And dying, that is just overrated.


message 76: by Bea (new) - rated it 2 stars

Bea I would want to be a vampire. The pros outweigh the cons. You dot have to kill people. I mean drinking blood as food sustenance is the ultimate diet. You'd never get fat. Eternal youth and strength and speed. Plus if i get tired of being immortal there's always suicide.Not that i take suicide lightly, but im just saying

Dani The vampires from Twilight are more superheroes than vampires the pros of being a Twilight vampire are
1. the super speed
2. the beauty
3.superpowers such as reading minds, creating illusions, etc.
On the other side i wouldn't want to be a vampire becouse:
1 I would not like to sparkle
2 I do not want to live forever
3 I'm vegetarian
So I'd rather be a (beautiful) superhero


Ma- Nogoy aka Mimi I would not want to be a vampire. No going to the beach!! And sucking blood sounds cannibal-like

Eeva Lancaster Death is something we fear and if given the chance to live forever... i'd take it! And I don't have to watch my loved ones die, I'd turn them all too! (ok only those that I can stand to live with forever.. hahaha) I think having the opportunity to watch the passage of time as an immortal is a great albeit lonely gift. That's why vampires choose companions.

When it comes to food.. will it be any better if a vampire only drinks the blood of pigs, cows and chickens? We also kill them for food.

Yup... i'm ok with being a Vampire.... Lestat where are you? (oops wrong book... :)) I like Anne Rice's vampires better.


Penelope_5215 Liverakos IMMORTALITY...I would want to have the ability to live FOREVER!


Jolijn you stay hot... if you fall in love you can be with that person forever... (bella) you have superpowers.... but i guess you get bored of life.... if you live more than 4 generations....

But according to most fiction vampires are very instinctive creatures meaning that you would have a hard time controlling yourself if people are getting hurt near you. This would make it a lot harder to keep that "only animals" diet of yours :)

Also in a lot of myth/fiction vampires need human blood and can't really choose to drink animal blood. (This actually makes for better stories mostly, as you get people who have turned but need to get used to that they can't survive without human blood)

By the way f you go by the motion "I turn my friends and family too" they will probably do the same this would mean that you very fast would end up with a VERY big vampire population which would have a quite bad effect on earth climate as even more people would need to live by a animals only diet resulting in the need for more farms to feed the animals again resulting in the need to remove more forest to make space for this.

Yes i am saying that an increase in vampire population would destroy the rainforests


Courtney You caould have the immortality and the power to access your gifts (ie. prophecy, telepathy, etc).


Rel8tivity Courtney wrote: "You caould have the immortality and the power to access your gifts (ie. prophecy, telepathy, etc)."

Remember, not every Meyer vamp ended up with special gifts. (Rosalie, Emmett, Esme, etc.)

I'd say the best part would be the immortality. Think long-term investments. :)


Nyasia Walker You would like to be a vampire because you live forever and we'll what else?

Bluereader23 I love books involving supernatural creatures. Have I ever asked myself would I want to be one? Yes, I remember playing would you rather and the question being. Would you rather be a werewolf or vampire? I choose vampire. I always found myself fascinated by vampires. Their piercing red eyes, their thirst for human blood, their strength, speed, gifts that some are given (Twilight). Their alluring beauty. I wouldn't mind being a vampire but with the pros of being a vampire comes the cons. Being frozen in time in the same body from when you turned, never dying or aging, having human experiences, feeding off humans to stay alive, taking lives of animals to quench your thirst, never to live a normal life, never to have kids. If I had to be a vampire I would. But if given a chose I would stay human. But I wonder and daydream in the life I would live if I was one.

I would never become a vampire. Feeding on blood (whether it's human or animal) disgusts me. Also, living forever sounds good first, but that REALLY means FOR EVER. That is a very long time, spending loving one person. What is the guarantee that you won't have problems and separate. Or get bored. And when vampires get bored, they start murdering people. (I read an awful lot of books about vampires.)
So, no I wouldn't be a vampire. Only, if it was the ONLY way to save me from dying. I don't want to die, obviously. I'm a child. I've lived such a short time!


Rel8tivity Here's something people don't think about. According to Meyer, when a person is changed into a vampire their feelings, likes, basically their whole personality comes with them into vampire life. But physically, they are forced by their thirst to kill and drain people. Essentially, you'd have a normal human, transferred into the body of a serial killer.

Unless a person were already a sick serial killer, that experience would be bound to mess with their head. Meyer vamps should be suffering from major psychological problems or PTSD.


Sandstarr Publications There are definitely downsides, but a lot of people look at the upsides. When you're a vampire, you generally don't age, you often have supernatural powers, and the lifestyle is often portrayed glamorously.
