Deborah HarknessMy ideas about vampires may be romantic, but your attitudes toward women need a major overhaul.
About This Quote
Vampires are a metaphor for the wild and uncontrollable desires of a man. In this case, a woman has romanticized an already fictional creature to make herself feel better about her own self-esteem issues. The fact that a woman thinks she is a "vampire" is no surprise given the modern world's hypersexualization of women. She probably enjoys all the attention she gets from men and she is completely oblivious to the fact that she is only using them for validation and self-esteem.
