Gender Preference?

So far, my preference is largely for female dolls. I'm not sure why, I'm just drawn to them more.

But I'm also a bit of a sucker for the tiny fantasy animals with no obvious gender, so maybe I don't really have a gender preference, just a "cute" preference, lol.

 

When I entered the hobby I only wanted male dolls, but then in the end most of my collection - past and present - are feminine bodied. To be fair, in the past 4-ish years I've only tried to shell my non-op, gender-nonconforming transman OC so although I was shopping for a feminine body and sculpt that really matched his body, it was for a male character.

Now that that hunt is finally over, I might actually look for a male doll for his partner.... iiiinnnnn a year or two, when he is here and I got a better grasp of his scale and how to translate their height difference... ehehehehe

 

I currently have all girls (even within my non BJD fashion doll collection), with one male DD on preorder! When I first discovered the hobby, I actually wanted a ton of male dolls, but I guess I changed my mind! Eventually I'd like to add some masculine dolls to the family!

 

Girls only. I had a male but with his head, I instantly felt that he was too masculine that I hesitated to keep him. To be honest I just prefer female body

 

My collection is pretty mixed I have both but I'm more drawn to male dolls! My female dolls are all of beloved OCs or character I wanted to shell while my male ones are more driven by "he's pretty I need it" lmao

 

The goal is to have a mix but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tending towards males a bit more. I think with dolls I will just end up in the same position as with art OCs! Although I have to say, there are way more female dolls in the size category I plan to collect that appeal to me..that or having a lot of cute males. So who knows where I will end up!

 

My preference is definitely female dolls. Don’t even own a male doll. More than likely it’s because I am a female & can identify more with female based characters that I make up in my head.

 

Girls are just more endearing. Also I'm getting a girl doll that is forcing me to look at 70cm male clothes and that reminded me how narrow male fashion is. I'll have to go custom.

 

I looked back to my really old post here in 2019, when I was still trying to keep an even amount of boys and girls.

Yeah, I gave that up awhile ago.

Boys, Boys, Boys, Boys, Boys!

My girls dolls might be a little more special because of how selective I am when choosing to get get them.

But the boys are where my heart is.

 

have 1 male doll. the rest is female dolls .. so im leaning toward female. they are a lot easer to find clothes for - no matter the size. I do have one incoming male doll I ordered just in the start of december, so im looking forward to him. - finding things for him, have been a challenge, right now I just wait for him og take it from there.

 

Right now I only have girls, but I'm definitely not against getting any guys in the future.

 

I really prefer male dolls, I'm not sure why! Just bought my first ever female doll this year compared to my 5 male ones.

 

I only have male dolls so far. There’s a ton of very pretty girls, but after having had so many female playline dolls, I’m definitely more interested in male sculpts.

 

My collection is all boys!
Character dolls of the same two characters to be exact, have been shelling them in all sorts of scales and different brands/sculpts.
I do like them quite a lot.

 

My first doll was a 1/3 female doll, but as I got into the hobby a bit more, I've come to realize I prefer male sculpts for 1/3+ sizes.

For 1/4 sizes and below, I have a mix of boys and girls.

 

Boy dolls! I just like looking at men, lol.

Honestly, what got me into the hobby in the first place was an otome game about BJDs turning into humans... I believe the company had a limited time deal with a dollmaking company to have character dolls of them. Will always lament never having got my hands on them.

But outside of that... my OCs are a variety; male, female, nonbinary... But I also want to make dolls of characters from media I go crazy for, and those are usually men!

 

So far, it’s mostly been males. I think it possibly stems from a very rigidly gender specific upbringing. I had Barbies, my brother had action figures and G.I. Joe’s. We played together but on no account would my parents have ever gifted us with a doll of the opposite gender. So I never owned any boy dolls until I was an adult with my own money.

 

I generally prefer femme dolls. I don't want to limit myself to only femme, but for masc dolls I tend to more gravitate towards ones that would work for characters I have, while femme designs I can just be like I want it cause it's pretty.

 

I have Men Woman and non binary dolls! no preference!
