Why do people love/idolize vampires?(read on)

from twilight to the vampire diaries, I have observed people pretty much worshiping vampires as sexy, strong, and misunderstood gaurdians when in actuallity they are satanic, evil, and demonic creatures of the night. Why do people idolize them? ( answers preferably from people who feel this way)

Because they have endless energy, are sexy in their own way and immortal. Besides they like the nitelife!

But they are souless, ruthless, and emotionless! They are killers that just put on a facade to get to prey. What about that draws you to them? What is so sexy about them? I really want to know. It has been bugging me

In a way your right, but TV always show them on the glamorous side! Besides, I don't think they like themselves either.

They LOVE their lives! They sell their souls for immortality. I don't know any better example of self preservation, but I appreciate your input:)

Hmmm... Explain. Is it their secretive lifestyle or their unknown behaviors?

Their power, immortality, outter beauty. WHY they need to live on blood, and their mere existence. Sexy? Yes. Would I date one? No. Not even if his name was Edward.

Haha! Thanks for your input:)

Maybe because of the ideas of vampires shown in Twilight and The Vampire Diaries. These ideas of the undead have gotten to peoples heads and they idolize them, not as demonic creatures but as powerful, sexy, and strong guardians.

I'm a vampire.

JKLOL
I'm just wise.

So are they just blind? How do you idolize the most ruthless demonic figure ever to exist? It is horrifying that people think this way!
Report as
You have a point. Actually a lot of points. Some people are new on the idea of vampires I suppose because they only recently became popular. Twilight made them seem harmless and sweet and sparkly but maybe Stephanie Meyer expected people to be thinking of them otherwise. Cold blooded, heartless creatures, sparkly on the outside, but icy on the inside.

Because they look sexy to some people. And maybe Edward looks cute to people because they are strong. P.S. Jacob is WAY more cuter than Edaward.

Exactly! Because when you grow up as a christian reading 30 days of night and dracula, you can't help but stare in disbelief at how people idolize them. It confounds me...

They are usually mysterious and good looking...I like that. '-' (Liked them before Twilight.)
(As for the satanic thing, I know vampires aren't real, so I really don't take that seriously.)

You know for a fact? Define vampire. What IS a vampire. A Blood cannibal? A satanist? Or is a vampire something all together. Folk lore is what spawned vampire myths and legends but the true vampires are actually found to be (usually) stray dogs, wolves, and bears that have aquired a taste for human flesh. After that, peoples imaginations run wild. But there is the far more terrifying form: the man who makes a covenant with the devil. Then you could potentially have a true "vampire" as we call them. They must drain the life from others to sustain their own un-natural ones(the blood is the life of the animal). In this way, vampires are VERY much a possibility.

lol, I have no idea! I think that what people have already said pretty much covers society's feeling about it, even if it seems silly. It's something different and mysterious.

Besides that, maybe part of it is that some people are intrigued by the idea of masochism. For those people, it may play into the rape fantasy that some people have. As in, getting over-powered and subdued into submission where a part of their body is invaded. See what I mean?

I'm not sure they were that serious about this question! lol Besides, it sounds like they are already christian anyway.

I am a professing christian who is very enveloped in the word!!! I will not be preached to!!! Vampires are very much a possibilty. A man seeking assembly with satan could potentially become a vampire or someone possessed by a demon can become one, yet people idolize them as sexy, mysterious, gaurdians when they are really souless killers.

because the idea or thought of having the power to use mind control,run super fast,grow sharp fangs in the blink of the average eye,having colored eyes,and being able to take down an entire swat team with out thinking about it is very intriguing

In actuality? No, actually THEY DON'T EXIST! Hahaha but I get your point. It's simple, the movie makers know that young minds are very impressionable, so they force this crap on the kids and they just eat it up, and the filmmakers laugh all the way to the bank. Vampires are the "boybands" on the movie industry.

I like them because of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Most are evil, but a few have redeemed themselves, but they can still be bad at times. It's in their nature. No Twilight for this girl. Buffy could kick Edward's sparkly a$$. I have read Twilight though back when I didn't know better and I hate to start and not finish a book or series.
