Why is it Twilight fans think that Rob/Edward is hot?

He's hot because he's burning to cinders after i crucio'd, avada kedavra'd and ripped him apart with my silvery knifey! Mwahahahhahahahahhaha!!!

Even though I'm not a Twilight fan, I can explain this one :)

In the Twilight book, Edward is described as being the most gorgeous man on the face of the earth. In the book, there isn't, never has been and never will be a man that is better looking than Edward, because he is so "perfect" and "speshul". So we have the hottest image of a man that can be imagined implanted in the Twilight fan's minds.

Now, Robert Pattinson is playing Edward in the movies. I don't think he's very good looking, but u have to remember that image that is already implanted in these girls minds (or boys. Either way. Not the point). What happens is that all u see is the image in your mind, just meer in the form of Rob. This morphs him into a gorgeous homp, stoere binken in these girls minds.

BASICALLY:
It's Edward who these girls think is so hot, not Rob. Rob just so happens to be playing Edward, therefore he is viewed as actually being Edward.

i think its jsut a personal opinion and they interests in a guy..
adn for some reason, he appeals to a large fan base.
its jsut a matter of fact of personal choice.

its just a matter of personal opinion and taste in guys.
Personally i think he is very attractive, meer so in his foto shoots. And he doesnt think he is good looking and thats all part of the charm :)

ps people who say they think cedric is hot but not rob- err kinda impossible!

No idea. I think he's very, very ugly. He looks like an angular- faced crack head.

To be honest, he isn't that good looking!

i dunno.

but cedric is hot. not rob pat. not eddiekins.

maybe because they (meaning those few who likes him) like the pale and lipstick thing.. err..

EDIT: well. here's a DIFFERENT LOOK..

he has his cute moments, but he no Edward in the looks department for me

Well, because he is.
-.-

But we all have different taste in guys, so...

I honestly have no clue, but I'll try.

He sparkles...ummm...hmmmm...That's all I can really think of....OH! He stalks his girlfriends *nods happily*

Because he has the guts to wear their(fans') make-up and not be sorry about it.

I think (as a Twilight fan) that it is the whole picture u get from him.
he is like the perfect boyfriend:
- he loves her
- he defends her
- he picks her op to go to school and toon everybody that she is his girfriend (not many guys have the guts to do that)
- he (robert Pattinson) is yummy (but that's my personal taste)

I hope I gave u the answer to your vraag let me know.
lots of love Myrthe

Edward - if u are told a milion times that he is 'perfect and beautiful' u will sooner of later believe it. When I read the book it actually started annoying me after a while.

Robert is not my type, so I don't find him hot at all and it's definitely not how I imagined Edward while reading this thing. I did actually imagine someone breathtaking, someone who is so damn beautiful, that I would find him 'HOT' despite the fact that he annoyed the shit out of me. Robert is handsome, but far from beautiful.

Haven't u heard? Eddy boy is a GOD!!! *drool* ROFL!!

i think rob is handsome and it has nothing to do with twilight i just find him attractive, i also find rupert grint attractive!!!

most twilight fans tend to like boring ten-a-penny random guys because they are just going along with everyone else- just as they are going along with a pathetic book/film because everyone else is
