Gender Preference?

I only own boys, and I think that won't change in a while. I haven't found many female dolls that I would love so much I'd like to actually own them. (Lillycat's dolls are a total exception to this! I would any day take one.) Most of my characters are men, and this hobby is very much about shelling them to me, soooo... Yeah. I also usually always feel much more attached to male dolls than female dolls. Can't really explain, it has always been like this to me.

 

I have a pretty even split between the 2, with slightly more males atm. don't really have much of a preference either way.

 

I've only collected girl dolls for the most part; ended up selling any boys that came home because I just didn't bond with them. Sometimes I think I'd like a specific boy Volks releases, but then I realise I just like the head and want it on a girl body.

 

I have all girls except for one SDGr boy and one pukipuki who’s a boy. So that’s 4 SD-sized girls to one SD-size boy and my tiniest tiny is male. I guess I have a preference?

It’s funny, though, because I love dressing my girls and thought they’d be easier to sew for. Nope. My big boy gets all the handmade stuff and my girls wear whatever I buy them.

 

that's the most relatable feeling ever!!! I fell in love with a fallen angel fullset, until I realized what I actually wanted was exactly the same doll, wings, and aesthetic, but a girl.

 

Before I ordered anything I would have said I have a preference for guys but both of my girls are…well, girls! This probably won’t change as most of my male OCs are older (the oldest one is in his late 60s) and would be very difficult to find sculpts for, while most of my younger OCs/favorite characters are female.

 

Interestingly enough I find myself drawn to the male dolls, as I love the photography the stores use for their models, along with their clothes and face sculpts. And yet I find myself intimidated by the sizes of the dolls I love...
I have currently settled on purchasing a 1/6 YoSD female doll, as I love her mold and manageable size for a beginner!

 

Mostly girls here because their clothing options are so fun. Also, I'm not a fancy person IRL but I love dressing my girls in fancy things.

 

All but one of my dolls are girls, and rather feminine ones at that, to my surprise. I myself am quite butch and a part-time guy so I figured I'd probably like dolls Like Me, right?

No, I've got one boy with a vaguely fem style and a bunch of girls with various, mostly feminine styles, too. I even tried dressing one as butch! But no! I was meh about her until I gave up last night and put her in a tube top and a skirt! (It doesn't help that she's a Resinsoul Zhen, so every pair of pants had to contend with her big ol' dragon feet.) I know I personally bemoan the lack of variety and fun in human menswear but come on. I have the chance to fix it for my dolls! Yet the clothes don't get made.

And whenever I consider another boy doll, I look at their bodies and go egh, never mind. I just don't find them as visually appealing, I guess. I feel like with MSDs in particular, you get a lot more fun shapes and flow in girl doll bodies than boy ones, which are pretty much rectangles with limbs.

 

I have a nice collection of both boys and girls but definitely more girls...the boys are mostly surrounded. I've made one boy a girl and either way he's gorgeous but his face-up as a girl makes him the prettiest ever

 

I have three girls and one boy, but I play more with the girls.

 

Right now I have one girl and one boy, and I think I probably play with both equally, but enjoy sewing for my boy more cause it's easier, lol. I'm not sure I have a preference overall, I have another boy on my list and another girl (head only rn) on the way, so I think things will probably stay pretty even.

 

I prefer men! Probably because that's true in real life lol :P But also BJD girls don't normally fit my aesthetics, I'd love one if she were tall and intimidating instead of cute!

 

I only have female dolls but would like to get a male doll but usually their sculpts seem too feminine for my taste. But iplehouse has a nice vamp scupt I might get ..

 

Mostly female dolls. It just so much more choices for dressing them up

 

If I look at all the dolls I've ever owned, past and present, I've had 4 girls and 4 boys -- but 3 of the 4 girls were mini/tiny (with one 1/3 girl), whereas all the boys were 1/3, though I've genderswapped one of them to be a girl. So I think it depends a lot on doll size. The smaller sizes just had/have more variety of girl sculpts and styles that interested me.

Now I'm focusing just on 1/3 sized dolls and no longer have any smaller ones... and I definitely lean towards males. I currently have one boy and two girls - but one of the girls is that genderswapped boy head on a girl body (it's a very androgynous sculpt, and the character herself is quite androgynous in style). The two dolls I'm going to bring home next are both boys -- and I'm looking forward to that, because I just want more boys around. I do like having girls around, but when I browse photos or product pages, I find myself always looking more at the boys. Since I currently have a small crew, I think the gender balance will end up more boys, but not by too much.

 

I only have one doll and it's a girl. I originally wanted a doll that's gender neutral and the sculpt for my doll had options to choose between two bodies. One was actually gender neutral but I liked the female one because it was chubby and cute. So I don't really have a preference but if something speaks to me then I'll go with that one!

 

I highly prefer boys, but I have girl dolls, too. As to the why, it probably has something to do with not finding girls' aesthetics as interesting. Even when I do dress my girls, they tend to dress very masculine. I find that cuter than them being all dolled up, tbh. Only one is cutesy, as in her character didn't really come alive until I bought her a petticoat. Now I plan to buy her all the cute dresses I've seen but never had a doll to put them on. I'm going to spoil her rotten!

 

I have both in the past but currently I have only guys. But if u ever have extra funds I like to buy more girls I feel I prefer them as I like to make girly outfits and hair and such

 

I prefer guys more. As all of my original characters are guys I kinda lean towards it. Not to mention I like guys clothing a bit more.
