Gender Preference?

I'm always looking at boys but funny enough, all my "finished" dolls are actually girls. I only have one boy, more precisely a body and a floating blank head. But I don't really prefer one to the other. I love both gender

 

I like the aesthetic of anime girls so all my dolls are anime styled girls (also the reason why I am in the hobby to begin with).
I’m open to the idea of an anime boy dolls but its not something I’m planning on getting.

 

I only have girls at the moment, but that's just because I'm waiting on a male doll to arrive!
I would definitely love to get more boys for sure.
I'm really into the anime aesthetic, and would love to see more male anime styled dolls in 60cm+ size

 

I only collect smaller dolls (MSD) and so far I haven't found any male ones that I like. All good sculpts that I've found are mostly 65cm+ and that's too big for me. So all of my dolls are (currently) female :3

 

I have more male dolls; no particular reason why. I had more female dolls back when i collected Pullips.

 

I don't know why, but whenever I see female dolls, no matter how pretty they are or how impressive they look, they never seem to leave an impression for some reason?
But when I look at male dolls, they somehow captivate me? And I fall in love with their sculpts.
Not to say female dolls are bad or anything. It's just that, no matter the size, from tiny dolls to hefty 65cm+ dolls, female ones don't bond with me. I've looked at quite a few styles and sizes, but it seems they reject my companionship.
But I definitely have a preference for male dolls. Everything under 1/4 size does not seem to like me either and I prefer the style and articulation of 1/3 and up BJD's. But I can make an exception for 1/4 ones if they check all the boxes of my preferences.
Maybe I haven't encountered the right female doll yet.

 

I have owned two cis male dolls, and I couldn't enjoy them. Something about the male dolls really throws me off. Now I enjoy other people's male dolls, but I stick to dolls with female bodies currently. I do have a Doll Chateau Cecile on one of the really exaggerated DC female bodies, but that OC is mtf trans. In my mind, Mina (the afforementioned OC), has a very deep voice still and has decided to not do any vocal training, yet did decide to undergo gender affirming surgery (meaning the body she is on is post surgery). I keep meaning to add some light scarring to her body to indicate surgery. I like playing with gender with my dolls, but mostly on the fem side of things most likely because I fall into that category rather effortlessly even with my head totally shaved like it is right now. I would someday like to try having some male dolls again, but they will likely be rather gender nonconforming.

 

I have only girls! I don't know why, because I know many beautiful boy dolls like kpop idol (I love kpop) but maybe I am obsessed with female body and feminine clothes, accessories and more

 

I'm much more drawn to girl sculpts—this isn't really unexpected for me since I have overwhelmingly more girl characters than others. But when it comes to BJDs I just feel like they have far more clothing/accessory options (and really cute ones!) and their sculpts are usually more aesthetically beautiful to me. I've found myself really drawn to the way certain companies shape their dolls' hands or legs.

Also, I mostly want to collect dolls that are similar in scale to each other so that they can interact and 70cm+ male dolls are a little intimidating as someone who's still waiting on their first 1/3...

Though I think if I saw a guy sculpt that I liked enough to buy, I'd get it! But for now even if I think a sculpt is beautiful I haven't fallen in love with any enough to think putting down money is worth it. On the other hand, so many girl sculpts have given me that feeling so far!

 

I prefer girl dolls. I just don't connect to boys, and I feel bad having a doll laying around when I don't connect to it. I like dressing my girls up really femininely, so I suppose that if I had a boy doll that wanted to dress that way, I would connect to him, but I have not found a sculpt that I would want to make a feminine male.

 

I just like cute boys a lot. Pretty much all of the dolls I customized are meant to be boys too, though the majority of "fullsets" (they're mainly Azone fashion dolls) I have are girls. I just don't bond to girls as much as I do boys, and on top of that I have a lot more male characters I want to make into dolls too.

 

I don't think I have a gender preference. More of a sculpt style and size preference more than anything. I prefer more realistic dolls in MSD and up sizes. However, these days I am leaning more towards boy dolls as that is the gender that I am building a character from.

 

I do not own any male dolls. But all of my female dolls have different gender identities. Multiple of them are either non-binary or gender queer. I haven’t found a male doll I’ve fell in love with but I love fem presenting dolls easily probably because my own gender identity is fem presenting genderqueer lol

 

I LOVE my girl. I really do. I think I'll always favor female dolls, they're just pretty, and I have a long track record of almost always playing with female characters.

...but she needs some male companionship, and now my problem is narrowing the selection down to one.

 

Girls, for sure. I've seen some boy dolls that I can appreciate, but some are cartoonishly muscular in a way that I just can't dig. Frankly, it's probably a hangover from the fashion doll world, where most of the male dolls just aren't worth bothering with. I think I've been trained that "pretty doll" = girl. and it's hard to get deprogrammed from that!

 

Definitely girls, but I'm open to looking for boy sculpts that I could like. Just haven't found anything that speaks to me yet.

 

I've only ever collected boy dolls, the only girls that have appealed to me have been limited or really hard to find ;-;

 

This is a great question and it's fun to see other member's answers.

My preference is for females over males.

 

I only have girls and mostly look at girl dolls. Feel like not a lot of boy sculpts in the size range that I like (40-50cm) end up appealing to me for one reason or the other, but for character reasons I’d love to find one that does someday.

 

I honestly seem to gravitate towards males myself. I actually like androgynous males or feminine guys that I can dress to be cute of course. One thing that I can say is its hard to choose a body since most of them are quite too masculine for my taste in what I'm going for in larger sizes above 68cm.
I'm not adverse to female dolls though my first one will be my character I created in game in FFXIV. I just really wanted to have him with me is all!
