1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Gender Preference?

Feb 16, 2017

    1. I feel like I've only been buying male dolls, just really drawn to their aesthetics and how you can dress them up! I really like modern streetwear, dandy boy, and dapper suited-up boys. For me, it's also fun to cross-dress them or give them a more feminine aesthetic :lol:

    2. I only like girls because I think woman are beautiful and I'm attracted to woman so I think that's why I love girls, I just want to have pretty feminine dolls with girly dresses, long wigs, etc. I know a lot of people style male dolls in feminine clothes and whatnot but I just prefer girl dolls.

    3. I’m starting to get lowkey mad at myself for my apparent inability to like girl dolls LOL

      ah well I should just embrace my miniature masculine army

    4. Same, but in reverse. My collection is all girls and I feel like it gives off a "no boys allowed in our treehouse" kind of vibe. I don't dislike boy dolls, but I have a much harder time feeling grabbed by sculpts or feeling inspired to style them in certain ways.

    5. I'm totally biased towards girls because the entire allure of dolls for me is dressing them up. You can do that with a male doll of course, but the clothing options are much more limited. I also want the ability to twin with my doll(s) which would be difficult if they were a boy! I'm not putting on pants, so they better be ready to put on a skirt!

    6. 100% biased towards boys, after all these years of collecting I realized I only have two girls... :lol::sweat

    7. Very much biased toward boy dolls. I love going to meet ups where I can see other types of dolls too.

    8. I love female dolls. I would like a male doll sometime in the future. And, admittedly, I’ve always dreamed of modding a doll to be both. Just happy to exist as any other doll would. I realize that might sound weird to some… :sweat:sigh
       
    9. There’s actually a body that does that out of the box! The Abidoll Boy and Girl body has two different chests: one flat and one with boobs, and then it has a sculpted vulva, and penis parts that magnet over it. You can make that body any gender, cis or trans, or have it swap through multiple options. I have 4 of them and they’re awesome bodies!

    10. I want to think I don't have a preference, but my doll stats don't lie. All my dolls are overwhelmningly female gendered in doll and character. Even my one male body is a female character xD I think I would like to add some male male dolls someday, but there hasnt been any to strike that just right feeling to prompt purchase just yet
       
    11. I only like girl dolls except for Doll Chateau's 1/4 boys. IDK why but I think they're so cute.
       
    12. My first doll was a girl because I thought that's what I was "supposed" to get as I'm a woman, so getting a male doll would be weird right? Lol. That was over a decade ago and I only recently started liking girls more. Totally biased towards male dolls and I collected only them up until recently. I have a lot of minifee, but I never counted minifees as female dolls for myself, only because I love them for dressing up/playing with the hands, but they never offered many boys (and the boys are impossible to dress). Fullsets just about always girls. So it felt like it was my only compromise.

      These days I'm annoyed with myself for STILL not being able to bond with girls, but it's changing. My feelings of what "bonding" means for girls is way different from boys, though. I don't think I could ever feel as deeply for a girl doll as I do my boys. I feel like boys are more open aesthetically than girls (for my preferences) and the traditional fancy, lacy doll-like dress for girls isn't too much my thing, so that cuts out a lot of options.

    13. I like both male and female dolls. Though I will say I like dressing my girls more than dressing my boys.:whee:
       
    14. I prefer female dolls in general, but I did end up randomly getting a male head b/c it looked scary :lol:

      I've figured out that I really like dolls that are a little unusual, so while I might prefer a female doll, it won't stop me from getting a male one if they're cool enough!

    15. I don't really prefer one gender over another and I feel like I will go through phases over the months and years spending more energy on my guys or girls, but because I especially love sewing dresses over other types of clothes I usually end up with more girls in my collection at any given time.

    16. All of my dolls, except one, are boys. Even though some may look a bit feminine with big lips and j-rock/k-pop makeup. I really don't know why but none of the girl dolls, except just that one (Coralreef Caroline), caught my attention. Yes, I like looking at girl dolls owned by other collectors but I don't feel I need any in my own collection.

    17. Definitely more into girl dolls. I actually bought a male body for a head, originally planning to make the doll a dude, but she ended up a girl in the end. I love looking at other people's boy dolls, but I think they're just not for me. At least for now!
       
    18. Ohhh my goooshhh! That is amazing! I’m so glad you mentioned that. I’m gonna have to add that to my wishlist! :love:D
       
    19. I like getting boy dolls and dress them in feminine clothes
       
    20. At the moment I’ve got into the hobby I’ve been thinking that my collection would be dedicated only to female dolls. No guy is allowed, I thought. My girls are self-sufficient. Yes of course, a week ago I’ve got a realpuki Soso and then a pukifee Halloween Event 2014 (he’s definitely a boy). My small girls are happy. My bigger girls are asking for bigger guys now. I begin to think that males in my collection is not a bad idea…
