Five Things About Vampires Women & Cowboys

by The Urban Cowboy on August 6, 2010 · 85 comments

So I’m out and about, and there is a trend blowing in the wind (and it stinks) within the ranks of the female population that I cant quite get my tiny man brain to grasp. What’s this I’m talking about? The overwhelming attraction women have to 500 year old blood sucking, walking corpses!

Not only do I have to put up with the latest buzz surrounding Twilight and the overly feminine, glittery skinned, sit down while taking a piss Collins clan. I now have True Blood to contend with, every frigging week! At least these Vampires resemble more of a man’s man, but still…they aren’t real MEN, at least live one’s, that is.

Much of this I blame on the guys that would rather play nerdy, fantasy online games, fantasy football, and prefer to watch porn through an LED screen while eating a Big Mac; rather than treat their women like the princesses they are.

I mean, come on gals…what’s a Vampire REALLY got that the average guy doesn’t…let alone a cowboy? Lets take a closer look at women, vamps, regular dudes, and cowboys (TUC).

Vampires Women & Cowboys

Vampires Women & Cowboys

Vampires Suck

5. Vampires are loners.

Just think, you have your man all to yourself. No longer are you forced to share quality time among your guys buddies, most of which, you really can’t stand anyways. You are now the sole object of his desire and time.

Regular Dude: Too busy playing golf, watching the big game, or out beer drinking…all of which takes place with other dudes. What’s a girl to do when most of her man’s free time is spent male bonding?

Vampires: Have you ever seen a vampire playing golf? How about sitting in front of a television rooting for his favorite team? As far as male bonding goes, well…that’s just not very vampish,(unless he’s from Twilight), now is it? No, the vampire is all about spending that quality time with his lady friend. So what if it’s biting her neck…she actually loves that!

TUC: Cowboys do enjoy SOME time with the guys, but that definitely takes a back seat to a woman’s time. Cowboys would much rather be riding horseback, or serenading their women, than hanging with the guys. I take that back…cowboys are with the guys a lot, but it’s usually doing manly things, so it’s okay. Plus, we like to bite necks too!

4. Vampires stay in great shape.

It’s no secret that most women prefer their main men, or dead corpses, to be in great physical shape. Muscles and strength exude confidence and an ability to protect their mates. What woman doesn’t want to feel protected? A great bonus would be the stamina to pull all nighters (see number 2).

Regular Dude: Roughly 71.3% of men aged 45-54 are overweight in the US, but from what I actually see on the street…I’m going with 85%.

Vampires: Okay, I have to concede that from what I gather about the undead, vampires are in great shape. But who wouldn’t be, especially if your diet consisted of nothing but blood, and an occasional tampon?

TUC: Have you seen me? Nuff said.

3. Vampires are very persuasive.

I’m going out on a limb here, but I believe women, no matter what they say, love to be persuaded…especially if it entails anything naughty in nature. Guided by emotions, most desire a man that has mastered the art of persuasion. If you think about it, it’s the perfect scenario. To be able to place the “blame” on someone else for all the sexual debauchery she all too well enjoyed.

Regular Dude: Trouble convincing himself he’s a man; the regular dude also has difficulty convincing women he’s a catch, let alone to try new sexual positions.

Vampires: The vampire has had centuries to cultivate a suave, smooth and sexy demeanor. They have had the necessary time to master the art of persuasion, able to convince even the smartest and savviest of women to do their bidding. If a vampire can convince a woman that sucking blood is cool, what else do you think he could convince her of?

TUC: A cowboy must learn to live by his wits, and this includes the ability to persuade people and animals. He must be able to convince others to do what is against their natural instincts. What’s sexier or more manly than taming a wild Mustang? That’s what every woman wants to find out, of course.

2. Vampires rule the night.

For obvious reasons, it must be a huge turn on for women to imagine spending every night with their very own vamp friend. I mean, what woman wouldn’t want to be at the receiving end of an all nighter?

Regular Dude: Spends most nights playing some nerdy goof ball online game with hordes of other nerdy goof balls, when his attention should be on games of a more “adult” nature.

Vampires: While it’s true the vampire is a creature of the night, he is more than likely out hunting for food. No goof ball nerdy online games for the vampire, but also no time to play under the sheets because he’s too busy looking for his next meal.

TUC: Cowboys don’t play online games, and we don’t have to hunt for food at all hours of the night. This leaves plenty of time for us to shower our attentions on lady friends. Bonus…there are positions named after us.

1. Vampires are the ultimate unpredictable “bad boy”.

Most women are attracted to men who are spontaneous, creative, and lives by their own code. A man who thrives on life itself. A thrill seeker unafraid to try new and exciting things, yet possesses a sensitive side rarely seen by anyone else.

Whether he is fending off a bear attack, or involved in a discussion about which pair of shoes look best, he does so with equal enthusiasm, desire, and genuine interest. Plus every woman knows “bad boys” are awesome in bed.

Regular Dude: He will put the toilet seat down for you, and clean the sink after shaving. He will carry your lip balm for you, and even apply it when needed. He will even watch your vampire shows with you. Nuff said…

Vampires: Living their lives by their own rules, a vampire answers to no one. Every vampire needs a woman to survive and will search until finding his eternal love. Plus, sex couldn’t get any more dangerous than with a vampire, as you never know if this will be the time he devours you in a fit of hunger.

TUC: Cowboys often live their lives by their own rules, answering to no one as well. They will tell you what you need to hear, whether you like it or not. Cowboys are often hopeless romantics, that aren’t afraid to be themselves. Plus, they look good in cowboy hats and boots with nothing else.

So, the next time any of you ladies find yourself out searching for your vampie friend, remember…cowboys are the real deal…and he may just have a pair of fangs with him just in case!

I’m just sayin…

Twilight series aside (those are boys not men) Vampires are just plain sexy. Its the fantasy. I can see a cowboy around here any day of the week. No biggie! But Vampires are not only hot they can provide instant orgasms with one bite. Sorry but cowboys just cant do that. I am a fan of the vamps for sure.

“…with one bite.” What about a cowboy with spurs? What about a cowboy with fangs? What about The Urban Cowboy…? Many deep things to ponder. :)

I have to admit that vampires leave me cold (and not only because they would suck all the life out of me). Give me a real man every time. My hubby is a regular guy (but in my eyes he’s about as awesome as a man can get), but unlike that 85% of overweight males, he’s in great shape. :)

Reply

The Urban Cowboy August 6, 2010 at 8:26 pm

Your hubby isn’t a regular dude. Regular dudes are reserved for guys that fit all five. What you have is an extraordinary dude! :)

Michele August 6, 2010 at 7:00 pm

Uhh…
TUCs are real people though rather obsessed with “real man food” (it’s that meat thing). Vampires = dead. Regular dudes = real, quirks and all.
TUCs = open your car door, pull out your chair, and generally treat you like the lady you are. Vampires = still dead; oh they are also fictional. Regular dudes = question whether you really need that desert. TUC = pay the check. Vampires = pay the check then make you pay in blood Real dudes = want to go dutch.
All in all I think I like my guy. He’s old. Which means that he is a cross between a real dude and a TUC.

The Urban Cowboy August 6, 2010 at 8:27 pm

How old did you say he is? You sure he’s not a vampire?

Raven August 6, 2010 at 8:12 pm

While I do have a thing for vampires, I hate both Twilight and True Blood, and personally would choose a Cowboy over a vampire anytime. So don’t you worry, there are some gals out there who have sense. ;)

Jessica @ One Shiny Star August 6, 2010 at 8:13 pm

Hahaha, you have me giggling. I guess my husband falls somewhere between normal guy and TUC. ;) I think he’s scared of livestock, but he’s definitely the kindest gentleman I’ve ever met. I personally like the good guys, having dated enough bad boys in my “youth” – I can appreciate a toilet seat being put down and a clean sink.

Reply

The Urban Cowboy August 6, 2010 at 8:34 pm

There are two different types of “bad boys”

1. bad boy the jerk – He’s out for himself, doesn’t care about anyone else. A user and abuser.

2. bad boy Mr. Exciting – He’s a lover of all creatures, lives life to the fullest, isn’t afraid of the new or taking chances. Spontaneous, strong, sensitive, and supportive.

Good guys can be bad boys, they can also be regular dudes, too.

CityMom2 August 6, 2010 at 8:31 pm

Hey DUC (dear urban cowboy)!

I’ll try to explain this…but, we still have to talk about shapeshifters, werehunters and immortal gods & goddesses. Oh, and time-traveling highlanders.

1. My friends in chicklit all said not to bother with Twilight so…I didn’t. The movie was gadawful! So just forget about Edward and the other pale pukes.

2. Now, “quality” paranormal literature…which I will not be naming on your site – (not sure of the rating.) Quality Paranormal authors make their fictional characters and plots H.O.T. – I mean panting, adrenalin rushing, knees weak HOT. BUT

3. There is plenty of great Cowboy Literature available too. In fact, after a three year affair with the vamps, Celts and wolves, I’ve been indulging in some top notch cowboy books. (Prior to that I had a thing for Navy Seals/any spec op dude)

4. The regular guy – why do you think there are SO MANY successful authors…hmm?

5. And finally, TUC – OMG! “Have you seen me?” I’m screaming, no HOWLING. I’ve got to send this to my girls. BUT, in all fairness we need to see a “Chaps” shot. If you need more direction visit http://ThePioneerWoman.com

Your faithful reader.

Well…I’ve always loved cowboys, but I’ve read the Twilight series and seen the movies because of my daughter, and only read that vampire series, but I will ALWAYS choose a cowboy over vampires or wolves…yall are the only real men! I only dated cowboys until I started dating my exhusband (maybe I should’ve stuck with cowboys…lol). I used to spend every weekend on the dance floor.

I think i want to talk more about these cowboy positions!

I would not want to date a vampire for fear losing my soul, i don’t mind giving my heart in a relationship, but I like to still be ME. They do have some qualities that appeal to me especially in bed…bites in all the right places, sexy voice, pircing eyes…i don’t know about sparkling (that could be a sign you are using too much lube) cold, hard, and undead does nothing for me. I would rather have strong, throbbing, and heat.

No vampires for this girl.

Funny post!

However, Twilight isn’t just for girls. My son has read all the Stephenie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’ series books and we’ve seen all the movies out so far together. That is kind of our thing to do though the books are better than the movie.

Now on cowboys!

Couldn’t you put a cowboy hat on a vampire and he’d look just as good? Or you could put a cowboy hat on a regular guy and he’d look just as good too.

It isn’t the man himself that is sexual appealing to the woman. It is the hat and what the man represents.

It seems to me that some women are infatuated with firemen. (Me included lol) Why do women love firefighters? Men in uniforms to some women= sexy appealing.

Then there is the sex appeal of bald men. ( Wowzers) I can go on and on and on.

Some men are attracted to a woman in a red dress. It isn’t the woman though. It is the color red.

You get it right?

The Urban Cowboy August 7, 2010 at 1:23 pm

Sure, I get it…it’s always about what the man represents.

You could put a cowboy hat on a vampire, but vampires are not only dead, they are fictional.

I read this and had to laugh out loud…even at 4 in the morning when other folks are trying to sleep in this thin-walled house of mine!

Personally, I think having a Vamp for a beau would get a little tiresome. I mean, it’s not really healthy for a gal to spend every waking moment with her man, is it? Especially a man who never really has to sleep! She should have some hobbies, preferably some that involve interaction with the living.

And besides, vampires USED to be frightening creatures. And they still are in some places of the world…like some parts of rural eastern European countries. I don’t consider a man drinking my blood to be romantic.

I would much rather be ridden off into the sunset, I think.

I LIKE my guy to watch sports, male bond, and basically do whatever the hell he likes, so I’m left in peace to do my own thing – these vampires sound far WAYYY too needy for me.

And, um (blush) – cowboy boots, the hat, and a pair of chaps..? Works for me, anytime!

I’m laughing so hard inside at all of this- post and comments alike- but like I said, inside because my real man is trying to rest. Personally living in the sticks I know that cowboys should be the norm they’re just running out of range. Here, men open doors, carry groceries, work jobs that get not just their hands but everything else dirty too, don’t swear when there’s a lady present, and love going home every night to their old lady whether she’s 21 or 91.

Nice post! I’m glad I stumbled over here from Magpie Tales :D

Hey, just discovered your blog via Pioneer Woman. This is hilarious! Ironically, the original famous vampire, Dracula, didn’t have sex, and the later famous one created by Anne Rice, Lestat, tried sex and didn’t like it. Plus, they’re DEAD! Wouldn’t they need Viagra for sure?
