Was your first doll a boy or girl?

Jun 17, 2014

    1. My first was a boy but I quite quickly realised I should have got a girl. I'd really like to get a girl one one day! I prefer feminine clothes, hair, etc, not that you can't have that stuff on a boy, but I'd rather it on a girl doll.
       
    2. My first doll was a girl! But now I''m thinking about buying a boy. :) I never really planned on getting a specific gender I just wanted one that spoke to me.
       
    3. Its a girl! :chibi
       
    4. Girls exclusively and I have a strong size preference towards SD (I have one luts kid delf and honestly I would have sold her had she not been 2000% perfect upon arrival because she just isn't "showy" enough for me). I'll glance at the boys but the girls are just so cute to me they always manage to trump the me.

      Plus the clothing... even though I'm getting older my girls can wear lolita clothing forever and it makes me happy.
       
    5. My first was a girl, but I usually prefer boys. I do have an even split between genders currently though.
       
    6. My first was a boy. I only have one girl and i'm still trying to figure out exactly what to do with her lol. I love boys more for some reason lol.
       
    7. My first doll and all dolls after are girls :sweat Male dolls aren't appealing for me.
      But wait a moment :ablink: I also own a little Griffon, Apollo. But i think it's more a neutral one than a male ;)
       
    8. My first doll was a girl and for a while my group was heavily skewed towards the ladies. But on the flip side my girlfriend's first doll was a boy and she has mostly boys so we have a fairly balanced group between the two of us.
       
    9. Boy for me. In fact, I mostly prefer the boys. There are many pretty females, but because I prefer the fantasy style dolls, the only females you can seem to get are either fawns, faeries, mermaids or elves. I'd like to see some darker female fantasy that isn't just a vampiress. Maybe an eastern style dragoness!
       
    10. So far only girls cos i only collect yosd its kinda hard to find boy i like but i m still searching. :)
       
    11. My first was a boy. Followed by 5 girls. :lol:
       
    12. My first doll is a boy, and at the moment I prefer boy dolls. They are really fun for me to dress and shop for Haha :)
       
    13. My first doll is actually a boy. and most of my characters are boys. but i do have 2 characters that are girls. Girls are exciting to dress up :)
       
    14. I only have boy dolls planned for the near future, but in a vacuum I have no preference and love the aesthetics some people create for their girl dolls. Not to mention there are way more options for feminine bodies and forms.
       
    15. The first doll was a boy. Now looking for a girl for him
       
    16. My first is a boy, but with a sculpt that's actually meant for girls? I generally like feminine sculpts more, but as for body and character choices, I have 0 preference so far.
       
    17. My first doll was a girl :) I like girls the most ^^ I have three girls (one on the way) and one boy one the way :3nodding:
       
    18. My first resin was a boy. And is the only resin boy. (I have three boy Obitsu's I had before him) He's honestly the deciding factor in what goes in the collection. If I don't think they'll look good standing beside my first boy then I either have to think about it or just don't get it.
       
    19. Mine was a girl, and now I own more girls than boys.
      In my country more BJD owners seem to prefer boys, though.
       
    20. My first is a girl- I guess it has to do with me being a typical girl when I was growing up. I loved dressing up my barbies and playing/braiding other girls' hairs (still do!). But I do love both boys and girls BJD! i bought 2 girls and 2 boys XD.
       
    21. My first was a boy, i still preffer boys. And im planing to get more boys xD
       
    22. Well, the first doll I received was a DragonDoll Tiny Girl, but the first doll I ORDERED was an IH EID Dexter LOL Quite the disparity in everything :D My Debbie is Harry's (Dexter) daughter. I do love my boys, but I have about 50/50 male/female, & while most of my dolls are adults therefore SDs, I have lots of kids running around, plus one of my SD ladies is a BJD collector herself - so I've ALL sizes! Except I won't be getting any BJDs larger than 75 cm.
       
    23. my first doll was a girl
      And then I became interested in boys rather than girls, and now I have boys mostly!!
       
    24. My first was a boy, and so was every doll I've gotten since then! I'm not sure why, I guess aesthetically boys just appeal more to me. I find that boy sculpts usually have more varied expressions to choose from, compared to girls which tend to lean towards more classically 'pretty' look most of the time.
       
    25. My first doll was a little boy. I bought him to find out if I like BJDs. And I just fell in love with these dolls right after my first purchase!)
       
    26. My first doll was a female sculpt but I turned it into a male character.
       
    27. Girls all day erryday. The one guy I plan on getting is to represent my spouse's character, so 'eeey.
       
    28. Boy.
      and I still only have 2 girl dolls lol.
      Almost all my ocs are male, so almost all my dolls end up male too.
      I dunno why, my brain just defaults to male.

      I still want an msd girl who can be GIRLY because my one msd girl refuses to wear skirts and dresses and just kicks me if I try.
      She's grumpy.

      so currently 7 boys to 2 girls. Oops?
       
    29. A girl, I prefer the cute little outfits and accessories. I also find many of the male sculpts and face ups are very feminine which is not to my taste and I find uninspiring.
       
    30. A girl. She is a 1/6 one and Chinese branded.
       
    31. I got a boy doll. No rhyme or reason just he spoke to me and that was it.
       
    32. My first is a boy, and my last will be a boy :)
       
    33. My 1st one was a boy tho i really wanted a girl before but now im an all Male crew.
       
    34. My first doll was a girl! I plan to buy another girl or two soon. I'm interested in a boy sculpt that I hope to buy possibly next year.
       
    35. All my dolls are female, no exceptions.
       
    36. Mine is a girl (but I'm waiting to receive her). She's just such a delicate, beautiful creature!
       
    37. My first was a boy :) I did buy a mystic kids yosd girl but turned it into a boy anyways. I get much more inspiration from male bjds than I do from the females
       
    38. A girl, I use to prefer girls vs boys
       
    39. Mine was a girl, and I only have girls at the moment. I did have a boy once, but sadly didn't bond with him.
       
    40. first doll i ordered is a girl ^^ but i purposefully bought a sculpt that would look good as a boy too !!
       
    41. My first doll was a Realpuki, which are more or less designed without gender, but mine is a boy. And my second doll is heading home now and it's another boy. Though I have plans for 2 girls in the future as well. I like both and I think I'll either end up half and half.
       
    42. My first doll will most likely be a girl (IslandDoll Ivy or Aggie, depending on who I want to shell first), unless I go gonzo and spring for those lovely Granado heads available now.
       
    43. My first doll was a boy, and so are thirteen of my fifteen dolls. Of the two girls, I only bought one, the other was free. XD

      People mention clothing options, but I much prefer boys clothes, in real life and on dolls.
       
    44. My first floating head (getting a body soon) was a boy! Although he took a while to tell me his gender lol
       
    45. My first doll can be a girl or a boy. It's a LumeDoll moon, but I haven't received it yet. It's waiting for me under the Christmas tree. I haven't decided yet if it will be a male or a female character.

    46. My first was a girl. I can't imagine myself doing much with male dolls tbh
       
    47. My first doll was a male sculpt (DIM Ace) but I painted her as a female because I just prefer a girl crew :)
       
    48. My first doll was a girl. I'm thinking about adding a boy to my collection but... I can't find the right sculpt so I continue my reshearchs ^^
       
    49. My first doll was a girl and I can't imagine ever getting a male doll. (Although batchix's clever little almost tempted me so I guess it could happen)
       
    50. My first doll was a boy. But I dunno, it was hard finding clothes for him to be honest, there's so many dresses and tops and skirts for girls that I found buying clothes for my girls a lot easier.
       
    51. Girl! I've always had girl dolls, even the ones who dress more androgynously--I honestly don't know what I would do with a boy. I haven't ruled one out, though I don't have any sewing patterns that would really work for a guy.
       
    52. I have mainly girls, but Im definantly looking for some more mature sexy boys for my beautiful ladies
       
    53. Girl. I'm planning on getting a boy, but I feel it's much easier to find wings and clothes for girls than for boys.
       
    54. My first doll was a boy - RS Wu.
      I currently have 26 boys and 16 girls. I realised as I was counting that I don't have any SD size girls at all.
       
    55. I was certain that my first BJD would be a girl, but both my first full doll and floating head were male! :XD: I definitely prefer male dolls over female dolls.
       
    56. I was insistent that my first doll would be an msd size boy. Turned out to be a tiny anthro girl ... The following 3 have been boys none have been as big as an msd though! :XD:
       
    57. my First doll was a Little Monica; Sofia. But I bought her as a male. So I’m not really sure XD
       
    58. My first dallis is a boy, and i also prefer boy dolls.
       
    59. A girl, then bought her a brother soon after.
       
    60. My first doll that I had was a girl, I ended up giving her away and now I prefer boy dolls:drool
