If you can say this picture isn't FUCK HAWT Rachel, then I actually kind of feel sorry for you.
I found this chick. Her name is Rachel Marsden. And apparently she is not going to be in line anytime soon to do Rob. Fine by me. Bitches need not apply. But damn chica, can you set down the hater-ade and listen to me for a couple hundred words? I read your whole shiteous article, so now you can read mine!
Confused? Here is why I am hating on Rachel:
Have you noticed how many Hollywood casting choices nowadays seem to be made by gay men? How else can you explain the prominence of Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson, Shia LeBeouf, and every male in the Twilight movies? No real woman finds these guys attractive. I don’t want to witness anyone’s voice drop over the course of their silver screen “leading man” career. Real women fantasize about a man who can carry them to safety – not one who would rescue her from a poor choice of dress colour in the dressing room at the Gap.
I realise that many of these leading “men” are meant to appeal to young girls rather than mature women. That’s even more criminal. These girls really shouldn’t be developing a taste for boys their age. That’s just not normal. They’re at the age when they’re supposed to find boys repulsive. They should be spending their day at school trying to avoid “boy germs”, then on Friday night going with mom and dad to see a film featuring a real man who embodies a high standard of manhood with which they can taunt and challenge their male classmates.
It’s no wonder teenage girls are having sex with all sorts of losers in their class at an increasingly younger age. The mop-heads to which they’re exposed on the big screen – these featherweights seen to be fending off realistic looking computer generated monsters when in real life they probably couldn’t carry their mother’s groceries with their spaghetti noodle arms – serve to inflate the fantasies of young girls vis-à-vis their similar looking male classmates.
When I was a teenager, I lusted after Tom Cruise in Top Gun. My mother’s generation had Rock Hudson, James Dean and Marlon Brando. As this list demonstrates, it isn’t even a question of the sexual orientation of the actors themselves – but rather whether they can convincingly pull off portraying a real man. For some it may involve more acting than we realise, but that’s why they’re paid millions.
I just read a survey showing that many of these young effetes score at the top of the “talent cost” vs “bums on seats” value ratio, so using them is perhaps just a question of economics in Hollywood. Alas, manly men are in short supply and cost more. You can’t just find real, convincing leading men in the playground, or getting mom-and-son matching frosted tips at the salon.
Don’t worry! I defend Rob right after the jump!!
Wow, right. I mean, Rob may not be for you but to say that no real woman would find him attractive is kind of absurd. And before you go thinking I’m some teenage girl who’s all swoony and lusty because I don’t know any better, that is not me at all. My name is Amber, I’m almost 28 (gah!), I have 2 kids, I’m married and I’m very close to having a Masters degree (in journalism of all things!). I’d have to say, all in all, I’m a real woman, I work a real job, I have a REAL life!
I’m not even touching the whole gay thing, cause we all know Cougar Cathy cast Rob as Edward. Kinda punches a huge hole in your whole headline, I know, but that be the truth. I know that cause I’m a journalist by heart and I research before I say shit.
So, you think Rob is lacking manhood and well, I gotta disagree with that. In fact, 2 of the 3 guys you say are real men, yeah, Rob has been compared to them. By the way, that’s James Dean and Marlon
Only a real man can carry a hot pink sleeping bag...
Brando, since I know that research is not your forte. And wow, you really are obsessed with people’s sexuality. Not that it is anyone’s business, especially yours, but people who tend to do a lot of questioning of other people do so because they question themselves. Just sayin’. I mean, personally, if Rob were gay as a 3 dollar bill I’d still think his ass was sexy and, well, I’ve seen him in Little Ashes and it’s just as hot when he kisses a man.
And honestly, I think Rob could carry me to safety if need be. If you want to test that theory, I’m willing to help experiment!
And on the whole fashion comment…With Rob, we’ll be at the thrift store anyway cause he doesn’t give 2 left shits about fashion (research, say it with me, RESEARCH!). I mean geez, did you even take the time to just Google his name?!?
Oh, and you read an awesome survey about how Rob is cheap to hire but brings a huge fan base so now all of your assumptions must be right. Um, I don’t think that will be lasting too much longer, trust me. And understand that once all this Twilight madness fades away, Rob will still be there and their is a huge fan base of older, real women who will follow Rob’s career. And while I don’t compare him as much to Marlon Brando or James Dean, I do compare him to Johnny Depp. Now, really, I want to hear you say that Johnny Depp is not manly! Cause those may be fighting words and I will send TheShagDaddy out on you (his man crush is strong for Johnny!).
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:52 am
WHY are some ppl so sure Rob is gay? and metrosexual? I find him rugged, he is still young yes but I think he’ll mature as a more rugged guy as he get older, he just is NOT that preppy pretty young guy like Zac Efron is.
Also as far as clothes go. have this hater SEEN the prices of the duds he wears? They’re namebrands, EXPENSIVE stuff! No thrift store material there even though it may look like this lol. OK maybe with some honorable exceptions like the repeatedly sewn up vodka shirt…*giggle* Rob got pretty damn expensive tastes in clothes and accessories! I sure as hell can’t afford that stuff lol
This hater lusted after Tom Cruise? He never did squat for me. As for her mom lusting after James Dean and Marlon Brando, well as you posted in your brill post here Amber, Rob HAS been compared to them, and well I compare him to Johnny Depp too. I wonder who this hater chick drools after now?
I would say it takes a man to have an universal appeal and what is it with haters claiming fans have no life, no brains and whatnot? Seriously ppl are that ignorant that they think EVERYTHING evolves around who they drool/admire/fantasize about? Really? I wonder what kind of life this hater has since she can spew out so much nonsense venom against ppl she do not know, against an issue she clearly never bothered to research, and seemingly be so obsessed with ppl’s sexual preferences…
Wonder who doesn’t have a life here, us the fans or her the hater? Seriously why bother writing an ENTIRE article about something as trivial about why you hate certain “leading men” in Hollywood when there are REAL issues out there you REALLY can hate, rape, murder, robbers, wars, poverty, environmental issues, corruption, and what have you. Sheesh.
Sure Rob isn’t for anyone and her loss our gain I say. LOL. One down, 10000000000000000000000 or whatever to go. Who’s next? *puts fighting gloves on* lol
September 3rd, 2009 at 7:33 am
Sounds to me like she has a bit of a crush on HHH and is just in denial.
I don’t know. I just don’t understand how people compare Rob to the other “mop heads” in Hollywood his age. I mean, he was doing the crazy hair thing WAAAAAY before Zac Efron or Chace Crawford even thought about doing it. He’s made role choices that consistently show his depth and range as an actor and he continues to make those kinds of choices in the roles he’s accepted.
I mean, the man wears a Stoli t-shirt that’s so old and worn out it’s been mended with random blue thread for cripe’s sake.
And the whole teenager crush thing, Rob is way more manly than the guys I crushed on as a preteen *coughnewkidsontheblockcough*.
I think she doth protest too much. But that’s okay, because his real fans will still be around when the Twi saga is over and that’s one less person standing between him and me and our eternal love. lol
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:01 am
Ugh! Who the hell is this hag? What’s her address? I would like to send her an herbal supplement for her menopausal symptoms. I don’t normally pay any attention to Rob-haters, but this lady’s cuckoo for cocoa puffs…What’s a “real woman?” Would that be the kind who spells it “womyn” and doesn’t shave her legs? WTF?
I can’t believe I’m copping to this, but I’m a married 34 year-old mom, and I’ve got mad love for Rob (obviously, I’m checking your blog every day), both for his acting and his lack of interest in fashion. Okay, and his intense hotness. There, I said it.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 am
I notice that you obviously think little of “womyn” who don’t shave their legs. I may fit neither of those categories, but may I ask the question, “What have they ever done to you?”
Do people enjoy bashing on stereotypes of feminists because it makes them feel secure? (No, I’m not accusing you, I’m going off on a rant.) Hello – these people ensured us that we could vote, get a proper job, not have to stay at home all the time. I don’t believe women are superior, I’m more of an equality person. But, geez, give a little thanks.
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:02 am
this gal is not getting her paws on rob. well i guess rob fans gain and her lose, like the poster above my said. he is worn some pretty expensive stuff. those tuxes he wears are not thrift store walmart, they are designer brand tuxes and the rest of the stuff he wears to as well are expensive as well. tom cruise i can’t stand him he has never done anything for me. now i might be too young (21 btw ) to understand the acting of james dean and marlon brando but everybody is saying that he is the next of them. johnny depp as well he is amazing. to be compared to tne next johnny deep is an honor for rob. i don’t care what ppls sexual preferences are. i compare rob to the next Johnny Depp as well.
im with maryann it is time to put fighting gloves on.

September 3rd, 2009 at 9:38 am
Did she just imply that I’m not a real woman? *puts down Twilight magazine with dreamy posters of JBone, RPattz and PFach and gets in fighting stance*
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:39 am
I think she didn’t get the list of internet rules that forbid mentioning Gayfron and Rpattz within the same sentence. Opps, guess I’m in trouble too. Good thing I’m a lawyer.
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:48 am
I totally agree with Amber, and might just shove off a missive to this woman when I have the chance.
I’m curious as to her age. Her demeanor sets her a someone at least my age (just over 40 *gah*), whose ideal “man”- at least how we were told he should be – was the brute who would sweep you off your feet, have his way with you then leave you in the dust a la John Wayne.
Now, I gotta admit, my “Top 5 list” includes two such men: Russell Crowe and Clive Owen. In my age range, not traditionally handsome, could make you orgasm with a stare; and either could just about punch any other Hollywood pretty boy back to oblivion.
That said, also on my “list,” Johnny Depp and well, Rob. Of course, Rob. Although, seeing I’m old enough to be his mum does make me a bit squeamish, but I can still look, right? Add James Franco to the list, and well, I wouldn’t ever need anyone else.
Why? There’s something about a person who has an artist’s soul. Who has intelligence beyond what is seen in the pretty face. Who smacks down the stereotypes of what “men” are supposed to be and embrace their femininity, at least on an intellectual and spiritual standpoint. That’s what women want these days, and yes, there’s research to back it up.
Sorry, lady, times have changed. Blame it on feminisim or some other cultural phenomenon, but the days of worshipping the testosterone-infused he-male caveman are gone. Long gone.
Particularly telling of her diatribe is that she learned to love Rock Hudson (gay), and Tom Cruise (ahem). Need I say more?
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:49 am
She probably also thinks we should stay home with our babies, cook and clean for our man and rub his feet. Ick!

Apparently this woman hasn’t seen the Twilight movies (RESEARCH WOMAN – there is only one twilight movie as of this writing).. Cuz there are some varied choices for casting of “every male in the Twilight movies”. Varied spectrum from Eric (obviously a hint at gayness) to Charlie (the a-typical masculine dude who’s not allowed to show any emotion or discuss his daughter’s period with her). I don’t think anyone would accuse Billy Burke of having spaghetti noodle arms that can’t carry his mother’s groceries.
Pfft. Go back to burning all the controversial books in your kids elementary school libraries and giving abstinence speeches at the local church.
And get a clue – there are varying degrees of masculinity. You don’t have to be a grunting caveman to be straight these days. You can be a metrosexual and still be into women. Not that Rob is in any way metrosexual. Although he does pluck his eyebrows.. tee hee..
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:08 am
Or Kellan? Seriously, there ain’t no way that boy could not be called masculine. Grrr…
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:18 am
I am sorry but what gave you the idea that Rob is Gay! On what planet is that any of your business any how, either way!! I can not believe that you think just because he has a billions girls following him, that he has to be gay automatically. Of course that is the Hollywood way to make sense of it all if someone becomes to famous or instantly recnognized but that makes absolutely no sense.
I just think that maybe you should be aware that Robs fans are not going to like what is being said about him, not like they are going to care but they will defend him. But one think is for sure, a month from now Rob will still be famous and no one will remember who you are!
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:51 am
Seriously? Seriously! This lady needs to check her facts.
Funny thing is, the supposed teen girls that are supposed to be all over him, like my daughter, don’t think he’s cute. My daughter makes sure I know that.
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:14 pm
I’m a cougar’s cougar….and i’ve learned that Karma rules! Keep those pitchforks ready but you probably won’t need em….these days Karma is almost immediate

this just made me laugh has the woman not seen how rob dresses himself for fuck sake i really couldnt see him giving any one fashion advice unless its well just look on your floor for the least smelly shirt.roflmao
and as a mature woman of 33 i love rob for his personality as well as his looks and i dont care who knows it.
September 3rd, 2009 at 1:15 pm
The woman is obviously a Nazi who can’t stand ambiguity. She doesn’t get that what make Rob fuckhawt is that he just oozes sex in general. Like someone said above–guys like Rock Hudson and Tom Cruise have to try harder.

Damn, that woman (and I hate to say this) needs to get laid. Or get a hobby. Or something. Just keep her poisonous fingers away from the keyboard.
(Though, I do like me some good ol’ Jimmy.) Rock Hudson… I won’t even go there.
Ya, James Dean was so “manly”. And Tom Cruise…. Both way under 6″
Even if Rob were gay, I’d still find him fuckhawt and would still be lusting after his fingers, jaw, lips…. ~sigh~
What is disturbing, as somebody said in the comments, is that she thinks the girls should be lusting after guys old enough to be their fathers. Ya, way to start a habit…. *shakeshead* I’d sure as heck find it disturbing if my daughter one day had crushes only on older, “mainly” guys, and not the guys her age.
oh, and I’m way over 30, married, one kid… guess I’m not “real” enough….
I’ll get off the soapbox now
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:37 am
Because you have to be over 6″ to be a man. OOPS.
Are you under 5’4″ then? Because then obviously you wouldn’t be a “real woman”, by your logic.
September 23rd, 2009 at 9:22 am
My, you must be really bored out of your skull to read all the comments here and then reply to some.
My “logic” is that short guys do not fit “tall dark and handsome” formula. The author stated that the girls should be lusting after some real, manly man, not “gay-looking” Effrons, Pattinsons etc. Pardon me, I have no desire to go back to her article and search for the exact wording. It is at least my interpretation that tall guys are considered more manly.
Finally, this is a blog about Rob, where we come to talk to each other about our admiration for the man. Might not be your cup of tea, but we’re having fun here. Free speech and all. Welcome, but I hope you don’t stay if you’re here just to be pushing buttons.
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:35 pm
I’m late on this, but…WTF? I don’t really even understand what her point was. Her statements are all very broad and completely judgmental – like you said, no research whatsoever. It doesn’t even bother me so much what she says, but more that she lays everything out as though it’s fact and not just her opinion (which is ALL that it is).
I’m glad you stuck it to her. I’m all for Freedom of Speech, but some people should just shut the fuck up and keep their idiot thoughts to themselves.
September 23rd, 2009 at 12:30 am
“I’m all for Freedom of Speech, but some people should just shut the fuck up and keep their idiot thoughts to themselves.”
“Freedom of speech” and “keep their idiot thoughts to themselves”? Um, did that never occur to you that they are total opposites?
Oh please. I might as well say I’m a vegetarian, but eat a Sunday roast each week. Why do you even try to justify yourself? You obviously only like this “freedom of speech” when it suits YOU – and that obviously isn’t what it’s supposed to be!
I can’t believe you can go around making a statement like that, telling people to shut up but then trying to pretend you’re all “politically correct” and crap so you don’t get in too much trouble. You’re even worse than the people who just straight out say how much they hate others.
Go ahead and argue back if you want, because guess what, I actually believe in freedom of speech!
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:06 am
I think we are all totes down with freedom of speech. Trust me, if I wasn’t I wouldn’t have approved your comments!

Sorry – to be honest I was just having a bad day. I have no problem with Robert Pattinson, I stumbled onto this site from another one which already bugged me, and well…
September 25th, 2009 at 8:53 am
No problem! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! Look at today’s post. That should turn your bad day around!!

she is saying Rob is gay…but hellooooooooooo look at Tom Cruise!
This chick has a pole up her ass.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, AND………… wtf! teenage girls are wayyyy hormonal and unavoidable to like guys. so this chick must be a lesbo or some sort of religious freeeeeeaaaakkkkkkk
September 4th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Not a whole lot more I can say – everybody has pretty much summed it up. But to go ahead and add my two cents – I am a real woman that has (sadly) hit cougar status (I’m told anyway), and I think Rob’s the hottest thing on the fucking planet right now. That Bitch Is Crazy! Absolutely fucking-lutely crazy! And stupid as shit. Nuff. Said.

To me, this article lacks just as much authentic research as the other one. (Even though I agree with you more). Sure, this is an alright opinion piece, but…
Googling a name does not equal research. Slapping a couple of references stolen from the first site that popped up does not add much credibility to your article.
But you knew that since you’re getting a Masters in Journalism, no?
September 23rd, 2009 at 8:15 am
Well hello there and welcome to my little blog! We must have something in common if you are at a Rob blog, perhaps you too share my fondness for Robert Pattinson. You are in good company if that is the case. Either that or you googled “haterade” looking to purchase your next batch and landed here.
I never stated that my blog was an research based blog. I do not get paid to write this, therefore I do not have the time to go and make phone calls and do the proper research that comes with proper journalism. I do not think a blog should be interpreted as an authentic journalistic source. Never have, never will. But, and I do realize the original article was an opinion piece, this woman did get paid to write this. This is her job, therefore she does have the time to do proper research. If I had 8 hours a day to crank out pieces, you best believe they would be of a high quality, well-thought out and well researched. That is why I have served as senior staff for newspapers in the past. But this is a blog. It’s meant to fun and non-serious. I don’t anyone to ever take me to seriously, and today, I think you did.
Other than that, if you are a Rob fan, I hope you stick around. We have a lot of fun over here and I’d hate for you to miss out!
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:18 am

Tom Cruise?! Tom Cruise is more likely to help you pick out clothes at Gap than Rob is lol. Okay back to reading the rest.
