I don't understand... enlighten me!

Jasper's a cool character; I enjoy him, particularly in the books. But really, he's my least favorite male character of Jacob and all the Cullen boys.

Looking at all the Team Jasper Facebook flair, along with the feel I get on here as well, it sounds like Jasper is quite the popular guy, and I just don't understand why!

Jasper girls, enlighten me!!

I'm not really a BIG Jasper person either. I do however L-O-V-E Jacksper! Oh yeah....he is tons of Texas cuteness. Book Jasper, uh...scares me a bit. Movie Jasper...meh, not so much. All I think about is ...."Wow...he's puurty."

P.S.
Did you get my Jacksper gif. (via my blog) I posted for you? He has a hella sexy eyebrow wiggle!

Jasper is no Edward, of course, but I thought he was totally HAWT in the movie! I guess b/c he wasn't in the forefront, it was more of a strong, silent type-thing! As far as the book, I just like how he is trying so hard to be a "good" vamp, and I like his Texas charm (grew up as a kid in Tx!)! I have trouble ranking my faves (except #1 of course is Edward!), b/c I like all the Cullens for different reasons. Hope that helps, Kim.

I like Jasper because he is understated. Emmett comes across as a bit of a lovable ‘goof ball’, if you will, whereas Jasper has been there, he has suffered and still carries some of that torment with him.

Alice and Jasper’s relationship also has similarities to Edward and Bella’s, I really believe they would die for each other, or want to die if they were apart from each other. I wouldn’t say that about Rosalie/Emmet or even Carlisle/Esme. There is an Eclipse quote, when we find out about Jasper and Alice’s back story;

‘Jasper smiled down at her. "You held out your hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. For the first time in almost a century, I felt hope."’

Its similar to the Edward to Bella quote;
‘You don’t know how long I waited for you’

In addition, in Midnight Sun, Edward talks about Alice and Jasper, and compares them to Rosalie and Emmett;

‘Though Rosalie and Emmett were more flagrant about their relationship, it was Alice and Jasper who knew each other's every mood as well as their own. As if they could read minds, too - only just each other's.’

I love Jasper for the same reason that I love Edward; their whole existence is about their love for their respective woman.
Am I just a hopeless romantic?!

Yes, Jenny, uo are a hopeless romantic & I love it!

To be honest I liked Jasper more before he was brought to life by Jackson. Every time they showed him in the movie I couldn't help but crack up. It made me upset when I was laughing when I wasn't supposed to be laughing. Someone somewhere said it looked like he had been constipated for a 100 years....I couldn't agree more. So, Jasper in the books--OK, Jasper, thus far, in the movie doesn't do it for me. Jackson seems pretty darling in real life and waaaaaay cuter in real life. I am, however, not too crazy about his music but that is OK.
