Preferring one gender of doll over another

I also have only male dolls! I don't think it's odd or creepy to prefer one gender over the other; from what I've seen, many, many collectors seem to have mainly girls or mainly boys. It's just personal preference.

 

At the moment I seem to only want boys. A little girl is going to be in my household soon, so we'll see if that influences me any. There are a handful of girls that I've seen and thought "she's gorgeous and I would love to have her" but it's the boys that make me go "WANT WANT WANT WANT" and make me fight my urges for the sake of my credit card.

 

I am so glad to hear from all the people out there who love their boys. I love my boys. I thought it was because I had sons for children, but there could be an argument for the opposite. Thought maybe I was a little off, so thanks for letting me know that you love your boys! I am not alone!

 

I love the idea if a boy doll, and I do have some boy dolls that make me swoon, but then when I get to dressing them I get kind of frustrated.. Like it feels like the only thing I can dress my boy doll in is a shirt and pants, it stifles my creativity! With girls there are so many options and so many frills and bows and pink I just feel more at more and comfortable with girl dolls. I still want a boy though!

 

I think there's plenty of room for creativity in dressing boys... My next guy is going to be something of a fashion disaster sometimes, I can feel it.

I'm sure I've weighed in before, but... well, while I now have some off-topic girls (and boys, of course), my resin crew is still all male, and my saving-up plans have switched from 'I should get my first lady' to 'Ooh I love this guy!'... So I definitely feel for people who wind up with single-gender collections in spite of intentions otherwise.

 

Well, girls outnumber the boys at the moment. And the only boy is just a head (a body will be his soon...I hope). But I don't think I have preference to having one gender over the other, not yet anyway.

 

I only have girls at the moment, but I think that's because there are only female Dollfie Dreams for now. When I'm looking at resin dolls I like men more, so when I'll be getting my first resin doll it will be male :3

 

Thanks for everyones replies, it's put my mind at easy!

 

I'd want male and female, but as certain characters I want

 

I prefer female doll over man, mainly because I feel female doll is more versatile than man. You know, just like little girl who prefer barbie than ken lol
I like how female face sculpt can have a nice, angelic smile while male sculpt need to have this ' ' look to masculine and cool, if they smile, it can become a feminine sculpt.
But maybe it just that I haven't seen male sculpt that caught my interest so I'm choosing female doll.

 

Same here! Gosh I really love boys.. Though the boy I have now crossdresses.. Mm. I just prefer beautiful boys to girls.

 

The first doll i wanted was a boy, and i really wanted to get him gorgeous mate but whenever i would start to look at girl dolls i would get distracted and end up buying another boy.lol
I had 3 boys and one girl, whom i was never able to bond with and ended up selling. But i adore all of my boys.lol

 

I currently own two girl dolls and ordering another girl soon. I've always had female characters as well... just never really bonded with a male character. I have seen some gorgeous boy bjds but its always a girls sculpt that captivates me. I think the issue too is that a lot of the guy sculpts can look very feminine. I would be able to bond better with a more masculine/older build but those generally are bigger and more expensive. I really like the yosd sized girls and they fit my price range better then a SD+ male.

 

I am an all girl kind of girl I am not drawn to boy sculpts, as beautiful as they can be they just don't interest me.

This could change but for now I definitely prefer girls. I don't even look twice at the boy sculpts.

For SDs, it's mostly boys I like. For MSDs, I think it's either girls or a tie...

 

It has been so fun to read through everyone's posts and thoughts on this.
I seem to prefer girls, as I only have one male doll. I do have another male doll on my wishlist, however, and I am hoping to get him soon so my poor Colin doesn't have to be all alone. XD
I think it may be that, in general and dolls aside, I seem to prefer developing female characters. I guess, being a girl, I feel like I can get into their character's psyche better. I do like male dolls, though.. I just feel like I can't identify with them as well and I feel I do a poor job of understanding them. Even with Colin, I don't feel like I have a very good grasp of his character.. but I do love him so
Another reason I think I prefer girls is that I like all the clothing options for them. I am super girly myself, so I fall head over heels for all the cutesy girly fashion.

 

I definitely favour the boys! My only doll is a boy, and if I ever did decide to get another one, it would be another boy. I can appreciate the girls as beautiful, but for me personally I wouldn't own one. The boys are just more appealing to me, and I prefer writing male characters.

 

I am a mix. I love both, but when I am BJD shopping I find myself leaning mostly towards male sculpts, as they seem more interesting to me. Yet in other toy collecting, I collect a lot more girls. That may, however, be a biased sample, as in most lines there are many more girls than boys.

 

I only really ever feel like I want to buy girl dolls, I think it's the cutesy-ness factors swaying me. I know there's cute boy clothes too, but I just really love playing dress up... But if I were to get a boy, it'd have to be a tiny doll for sure

 

Now I have bunch of girls and just one boy doll. I bought him last year impulsively, but still haven't finishing his face make-up.... Which means, I am definitely female doll owner.
