Okay, so I struggled through Twilight (Yeuch!) and I've read The Vampire Diaries and the Sookie Stackhouse novels, and I just can't work out why all these vampires seem to fall for teenage girls!
I mean, these are supposed to be vampires who've been around for 100+ years. Wouldn't they be looking for something a little deeper than could be provided by 17 year old girl? And I'm not talking about sex here but simple things like a decent conversation?
Maybe I'm being too cynical, or trying to read something into these books that just isn't there, but the fact that these old beings who have (on average) over a century of life experience are falling head over heels for 16 year olds really doesn't ring true to me.

LOL that's so true, I never even thought about it before. The only thing I can think of is their age when they became a vampire. If they were turned as a teenager, then maybe they'd relate more to a teenager.
But I do think you're right though. They've been alive for over a century so they should have matured by now lol
Sookie Stackhouse is 25 years old in the first book. Not so much a teenager. And in these vampire books the girls have something the vampires want. Like Sookie she reads minds and has fairy blood and the vapires in the series love fairy blood. And Bella has blood that supposidly is great and she can block things out of her mind. And in the Vampire diaries she looks like a woman that change the boys.
Because the target audience wouldn't read a book where the hot male character sniggered at the concept that a 16 year old was mature and went off and found someone who was?
Most books which aren't aimed at adults have a plotline which depends largely on the adults staying out of the way so the kids or teens can drive the plot. How well they work, for me, depends on the plausibility of the adults staying out of the way.
Vampires never age. It would sound funny if you had one that looks 17 falling in love with someone that looks 50 wouldn't it? If the author wants to sell books, the best way is capture the interest of teenage girls.
because they taste the best? if you were a vampire, would you want some greece old man, no youd want a young hot stud. same with guys with girls. its just like what attracts them so obviously fat people have it set agaisnt vamps. If i was a vamp id deffantly be going for people my age teenager isntead of some 40 year old. just the thought of it makes me kinda sick. gross. to old
