Why does every vampire in every damn book have to:

1) Be insanely hot
2) Own a goddamn nightclub
3) Be a sexual tyrannosaurus
4) Be conflicted and overly emotional

I mean, where the hell are the fat, balding, middle aged car salesmans that got made into a vampires? Or the granny vampires (which would rule so much)? Why is every single one a super hot stud muffin with no chest hair, chiseled features and piercing eyes?

You think that they could branch out in professions too. Where the hell are corporate vampires and political vampires or the redneck vampires that want to watch football and drive their pickup trucks around while drinking a six pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon?

Why does almost every author write the same goddamn thing?

I'm getting so bored with this cliché that I actively avoid any book in it with a vampire now. Unfortunately I broke this rule the other day when I picked up Nora Robert's new book Morrigan's Cross at the airport before jumping on the plane (yes - I read romance novels on rare occasions and Nora Roberts is a decent, albeit rather repetitive, author) and I'm regretting it now.

Serves me right.

Maybe. Or the write write the vamps in such way to please themselves. Explains why it keeps going on. We all fantasize to have the perfect man. XD

Heh, maybe my irritation and bitterness stems from the fact that I just don't find that type of physical beauty attractive. Vampires tend to be pretty boys and I personally am not attracted to that aesthetic. I prefer my men of the more manly variety (broad shoulders, tough looking) and when the guys are more pretty than me, it's not a turn on rofl.

Ditto. Pretty boy vampires just don't work. But they're better being just pretty boys in the entertainment industry or something.

Muscles... vamps need muscles...the good-looking ones that is.

*blink*...you know, this could definitely explain why I prefer werecritters to vampires. Shall have to ponder. Preferably with visual aids.
