So we, as Twilighters, all know that even IF we both like Jacob and Edward, we're secertely more devoted to one than the other. Come on, addmitt it! You can't help but love that crooked smile of Edward's just a little bit more than Jacob's big grin. And what's so great about a white body? I want my man tall (prefrably 6'7 around there) and dark.
So here, on this soapbox of happiness, we're going to go over the amazing traits, that Edward and Jake DON'T have in common. If I leave something out that you think one has, leave it in your comment! Shout out your Jake or Edward support!

Edward
-He may be 100+ years old, but baby he don't look it!
-Could there ever be anyone as tender as him? *shakes her head* we only wish!
-Auburn, ruffled hair and golden eyes. Grr baby!
-That crooked smile *sigh* melt my heart.
-How many of you can honestly say that when they kiss their man, he takes their breath away? Bella put your &$#@)$)(*!#@ hand DOWN! We get your point you spoiled )&$#)!&$!!!!!!!
-Overprotective, yes. Overbearing, no.
-SOOOO understanding of Bella, no matter what. He gets that she's human and makes mistakes.
-How he NEVER yells at Bella or blames her. Lucky girl.
-He's AWESOME vampire abilities! Speed, strength, sight, hearing, smelling, tasting? Hmmm touching? OH yeah! lol jk
-He's unbelievable love, how it spans time, distance, and all rules. He never loved anyone but her, and he waited for Bella to show up for over 100 years.
-His patiance. You have to love the way he's so tender, even when he's fed up.
-How he whisperes her name after being apart from her for a few hours. Like he can't believe she survived her bad luck without him there and is so relieved to see her again!
-He's so dang smart! Dartmouth?! Wise guy's smart and stylish :)
-Let's face it, NO ONE can romance like Edward! Dazzle me dazzle me, Edward. I'll fight it as long as I can, as long as you promise to keep looking at me like that until I'm dazzled to pieces! lol
-The fact that he's willing to do ANYTHING for his woman. He's willing to leave for her safty, come back despite his better judgment, let her go if it will make her happy, forgive her for making out with another man, change her into a vampire even though he doesn't want to, do the dirty with her, even though she's just horney and doesn't listen to his warnings, and do ALL these things while kissing, hugging, loving, and treating her like a porclin doll!

Jacob
-Talk about maturing/growing up over night. Jake went from boy to man instantly! . . . a very hot man!
-Could anyone (besides Jake) say that they got Bella Swan to do something dangerous and spontanious? Nope! They can't! . . . well maybe Alice but we're talking MEN here! lol
-Shaggy black hair, blackish brown eyes, tall, dark skinned, wicked smile. . . man, Jacobs hot Hot HOT!!!
-Let's talking about "my Jacob" for a second. Who can be a kid like Jake and then a man like Jake so fast? No one but Jake!
-Jake can be my personal space heater any day! Just let him get those gangaly arms around me and he can heat up my personal space!
-Can we talk werewolf here for a second? How cool is THAT? If you get sick of his arguing, tell him to grow a tail and cuddle up next to your horse sized teddy wolf! How cute his is wolfy smile?
-Jake's not afraid to let a girl have her space and be independent. He's Bella's adventure buddy. You want to be crazy and careless for a day, you call Jake.
-Not to mention his complete and utter stupid devotion to a taken woman! Despite his odds, Jake gives it his all. . . not always the best thing but that's how he is. He loves Bella so much that he KNOWS he will NEVER imprint on anyone. He can't see beyond her. Awww! *Sniff*
-I forgot to mention his werewolf abilities. Fast, strong, smell, . . . don't forget NO ONE can brag about how awesome his girl is like a werewolf. The whole pack knows how Bella kisses lol.
-The fact that Jake can make the simplest day great just by his sense of humor. Need we forget about the Washington Taj Mahal? (How the heck do you spell that?! lol)
-He's good with his hands. Fixing cars, motorcycles. He's my handy man! :)
-Come on, let's face it, ALL Native American's are cool! Their history is WAY more interesting than ours! lol Jake's werewolf history included. Don't forget the fact that he would have the most adorable kids! What a cute daddy Jake would be!
-He may fight dirty, but he can bow out. . . ok KIND of gracefully. He knows when he's lost and he does it without malice to Bella.
-If he gets pissed at you about something, he can't brood about it forever. He'd break the house apart with all his dramatic trembling and shaking :) lol. Let it out honey, just tell me what's bothering you?
-The fact that he's willing to stand around a bunch of vampires, fight his instincts, work with them, fight with them, and befriend them all to protect a woman who doesn't want to be with him. He's willing to do anything to keep her safe, loose sleep, piss off his pack, even go against Edward (Tent scene) to make Bella comfortable and safe. How can you not love that?

In conclusion (after 15 GREAT traits each) I'd like to say that although we might hate one and love the other or love both but favore one, Edward and Jake are two great guys. Heck, roll them together and you've got. . . wow there are no words! All I know is I want two!

That's brilliant and true :)
I love both Edward and Jacob, what's not to love in either of them?! I do like Jake a bit more though :) Bella can keep Edward, I'll have Jacob. The only reason why Jacob's hasn't imprinted is because he hasn't seen me yet, Fact!

Edward - He was going to get himself killed when he thought that Bella was dead.

I loved that. It made me laugh sooooo hard. I love both Edward and Jacob. I am glad though that Bella chose Edward cause it would hurt her so bad when Jake imprinted but...Since she chose Edward meaning I cant have him I would gladly take Jacob!

Aw this was too cute!
I loved it.
I still dont know what team I'm on.
Whenever I read the books, I always switch from Team Edward to Team Jacob.
But deep down I think I'm on Team Edward but am a HUGE Jacob supporter!
I love them both equally, but I can't help thinking Bella was made for Edward.
I always think that if she had chosen JAcob, he might end up imprinting on someone else..
I mean it could happen, look at Sam and Leah.
It would be heart-breaking for that to happen with Bella and Jacob.
Jacob's perfect girl is out there somewhere, he just needs to open those gorgeous dark eyes of his and find her. He'll get his happy ending, I know it.

i know a lot of people may disagree but i dont see why your in love with the twilight characters. i mean i love them too...but not in,love. (i still have a crush on edward and jacob even though i am writing this.) and the only reason i would say this is beacuse i visited florida for two weeks and all these guys just fell at my feet! and there was this one guy at a restaurant (i was too much out of his leage) he was a lot cuter! he liked me a lot. and then he kept looking at me. not like that omg she is wierd. but an omg she is cute and/or cool. it was so cool!

ok forget about what i said earlier-i am totally in love with edward! i still love jacob though. i met someone like edward once. he had a bunch of gfs but broke up with them all a day later. i sort of had a ccrush on him. he started totally crushing on me at the last mont of the year, but by then i only liked him as a friend... but i know i will meet someone like jacob or edward one day, they just wont be as dangerous. i mean everybody is already crushing on me! i think my height gets the cuter older ones

Bella is made for Edward, we all realise that.
I love Jacob, but he is just a friend to Bella.
She loves him yeah, but I think just as a friend.
Also she feels so attatched to him cos she feels sorry that she will never be able to love him like she loves Edward.
Pleasee Bella end up with Edward, and you could say:-
"why should Jake just muscle in on Bella when she loves Edward and Edward has been waiting for her for yearssssssss??"

I totally love Edward and Jake but i like Edward best. I respect Jake but he is tearing Bella up by trying to make her love him instead of Edward.Plus Edward is the most awesome boyfriend (in Bella's case fiance)on the face of the planet!=D

Edward Rocks!!

If I had to choose between Team Edward and Team Jacob, Team Edward would win hands down!

But if I had to choose between any of the Twilight men, I'd definatly choose Jasper!!!=)
