Everything he does, he does for her. With his intense personality comes his intense love for this once human girl. Bella craves this type of fairytale intensity, which Jacob honestly cannot provide for her. The idea that she can forever travel, learn and live with Edward is a much more appealing idea than staying in Forks forever with Jacob and his werewolf pack.
Additionally, Edward has always spoken about Jacob with respect, while Jacob made a point of constantly belittling and speaking ill of Edward.
Though both men have merits and drawbacks , Team Edward wins out. Team Jacob has valid points and often seems like the better choice, but Team Edward is the correct choice for Bella specifically. This debate will remain intact for as long as the Twilight Saga is around and there will always be people who back Jacob over Edward. But at the end of the day, and at the end of the series, Bella ends up with Edward.

While Jacob becomes more attractive as he gets a little older and becomes a supernatural creature himself, Edward starts off having the mysterious thing down.
Edward might have been exciting as a vampire character with a lot of classic romance tropes of the brooding, mysterious man, but Jacob was more relatable. He was just a teenager that lived a pretty normal life, had a caring father, and hung out with his friends.
In New Moon, he was a good friend to Bella, and he struggled to cope with learning he was a werewolf. Jacob could have been a much more interesting and lovable character if he had stayed more like he was in the first two books. The whole imprinting thing was just strange and unnecessary, and many fans wish it never happened. When Edward broke up with Bella , he was trying to do what he thought was best after seeing how easily Bella could be injured or even killed by other vampires.
That is, keeping her alive -- not letting her spend a perfect eternity with her undead crush. Cons: He's like Bella's kid brother, or something -- they used to play in the sandbox together making mud-pies.

Not to mention the fact that he spoiler alert imprints on her daughter. At least Edward's all about letting Bella make up Bella's own mind. News U. Politics Joe Biden Congress Extremism.
