BJDs and Couples

That sounds super cute My fiance found out about BJDs through me, and though he would never buy one for himself and he doesn't care to play with them like I do, he does like my dolls. He loves to do photography, so I told him he can buy w/e he wants for my dolls to do any photo shoots with them. I think he's waiting for a few more dolls to get added to my collection before he does anything with the dolls.

 

My BF doesn't really have any dolls so we can't mush his nonexistent dollies and mine together. T T Rather, I have two dolls that are more or less representative of the relationship we have, and satisfy myself with that. I let him choose the eyes and wigs of the boy doll, but alot of times my opinions override his anyway. > u>;; I really do wish he owned some, so we could play together, but I think he's happy "sharing" my dolls.

 

My boyfriend and I are both in the doll hobby, and it's honestly been very good for both of us I think! We both have characters for all of our dolls, and some of them we've joked about pairing together, but I think it's out of a mutual fondness for writing and role play rather than a representation of our feelings towards each other. Still, I'm happy every time I see him smile at his dolls or mine, or when he gushes over a sculpt he wants, and I love sharing this hobby with someone I love so much!

 

Me and my boyfriend at in to them, but he doesn't own any because he very rarely makes money so he'll just play around with mine and help me pick out new ones

 

My BF thought that they were weird until he found a doll he thinks looks like him. Now he wants it and is saving up for it xD

 

My husband got into bjds after a few years of me collecting them, and has about ten now I think. It's fun having someone around all the time that you can talk to about doll stuff and they not only know what you're on about, but are interested! XD

 

My boyfriend is also into BJDs (and on these forums). We got into them separately before we met each other though.
We both own dolls, but our doll characters aren't set in the same places/times/universes??? so there's not much between them save maybe the odd throwaway humorous interaction just for laughs since they already have their own preset relationships/plans for. So no, none of the relationships between our dolls are representatives of our relationship.... except maybe how much two grown men pick on each other ahahaha--

 

I think that would be neat!! I couldn't ever imagine a male being into dolls though =/ I mean, I know there are some out there that are but being a straight, non-cosplay/comic book lover, no anime, just straight up doll is just...unbelievable to me, lol!

 

My husband has shown little to no interest in my dolls but I think my msd boy is his favorite. Probably because he is my only boy. He is surrounded by girls. Haha.

 

I think I'm slowly pulling my bf into the hobby. He keeps saying he loves my interest in the dolls, he actively asks about them and my photos and listens to me while I go on a 20 minute rave and rant about resin color, restringing, etc.

He has even offered and driven me to locations that he suggested for photoshoots, and acted as a secondary photographer at those shoots.

He doesn't want to go out and buy a doll on his own, but he sure finds interest in the ones I have. We'll see how he reacts to my new boy, since I think the sculpt looks JUST like him!

(Compare that to ex-bfs, who have said they're weird, ugly, freaky, and a waste of money.)

 

My bf isn't really into the dolls,but he helps me with projects and he's going to build an MSD sized bed for me this spring. He even mentioned something about building a dollhouse for my puki. I think he likes my doll collection because they give him an excuse to hang out in his workshop building stuff.

 

When my SO was first introduced to the dolls, he was pretty well less than thrilled about their existance (as they were a hobby I'd gotten into while he was away training for the Navy)- however over time he's gotten much more used to the idea of them, and they don't bother him in the 'creepy doll' way they did when they first came into our home. Nowadays he's gone from avoiding them as much as possible to knowing each of their names, asking questions and even stopping his day to ask 'What did you -do- to ---?' if I change somebody's wig to something he doesn't fancy. XD

He's even got his own doll now - having hijacked my JID Ryan after I asked for his help in creating a character for him. It went from 'Pick out eyes and a wig and give me a short bio to work with' to literally being his doll. While Nathaniel doesn't have any connection to the other dolls (though the SO is pretty confident he's quite happy to flirt with so many girls) we are bringing in a new doll to the family specifically for Nate, his 'sister' Ashelyn. Sometimes I think he may be a little bit more excited about that than I am. ;3

 

I know four couples in which both persons own bjds, so it isn't as uncommon as one might think.

 

my boyfriend thinks that bjds are beautiful and he really likes mine, but not enough for him to get into the hobby. it would be sweet if he enjoyed it as much as me, but i like how we have our differences. :-)

 

my husband is infected. he now rants and bitches about the availability of certain coloured wigs and high heels when all his mates talk about sports and autos...it really is very amusing to watch a macho grown man carefully braiding a girl doll's wig.

we kind of got into the scene together & we timeshare our play. he's always been an open minded soul and craves the unusual, the bjd's were an extension of his action figure obsession.

 

my boyfriend isnt into the hobby but wants to see what my dolls are like and stuff like that, I have just gotten into the hobby but its lots of fun he wants to someday get me one too which is so very sweet, and go shopping for bjd clothes with me, I love sharing our interests with eachother its a special bonding for us and its always very fun to spend time with him especially with our hobbies

 

I actually got my fiance into the hobby! I had shown him the movie, The Doll Master, that originally gotten me into it years ago. We ended up buying our first dolls together; and now we have five girls here, and one on the way. We usually share all the clothes, shoes, and wigs we get, since they all are the same size. We also browse things together and have recently started going to a monthly meet together--it's like a date for us! I'm happy he was so psyched about it initially! It's a great bonding hobby to share with a partner.

 

My husband owns a doll, but isn't involved in the hobby. Ron is his buddy that sits on a shelf and watches him play video games. I used to own the doll, and was going to sell him, but my husband asked if he could keep him. This was during a rough patch in our marriage and he said he thought owning a doll would help us bond. I thought that was SO sweet! (btw, the marriage is great now!) He also goes to meets with me, and buys me dolls or doll items for holidays, and sometimes, just because. Our dolls are not related or couples. All of my dolly couples are with my bff and sister.

 

My husband doesn't own any dolls nor is he interested in owning any, but he still participates in the hobby with me. We talk about the doll hobby; he's attended meetups with me; and he's interested in the things I plan or buy for the dolls. It's nice to get to share something I am passionate about with someone dear to me. ♥
