To be honest, WHY do girls relate to her? I can't answer that myself, I'm sorry.

XD I do totally agree, I despise Bella (and the series for that matter).
I'm not sure if I'm over-generalising or not, but the women who seem to like "Twilight" appear to be very young, as in their teens to their early twenties. I mean I have yet to meet anyone late twenties or thirties or older who enjoys the series and/or can relate to Bella. I think it's more of an
age issue than a gender issue. Most youngsters like escapism and romance, they tend to be rather unhappy (damn those hormones) and this kind of stuff appeals to them, and hell, vampires seem to be the latest 'fashion' too.
I think girls enjoy Bella and love that type of romance because it
is romance. It's a never-ending, undying love that conquers all and knows no bounds, where good triumphs over evil, and no matter what she ends up happily ever after all all eternity . . . now for anyone
over a certain age that's just sentimental, cliche rubbish, but for an impressionable and hormonal youngster it's perfection and romance and something 'you'll never understand!'.
So yeah,
girls may like it, but
women sure as hell don't.
