| I have a hugging monkey (well not that stuffed really) which makes a monkey noise when u hug him/press his belly, however the batteries ran out and it now sounds as if someone is killing him... not sure which one i like best, but regardless it's a present from some friends and i love it ^^. |

| No worries, I probably have more plushies than you |
| Liking lolis or playing with teddies isn't abnormal... It's something not many do, thus it's seen as abnormal, but it's only something you do in your private space, why would you care? Trapalicious said: JReitan said: Why does he have this unusual interest? What does it say about him? What kind of hidden thoughts does he contain in the back of his mind that made him this way? Is the girl that is attracted to him okay with these things? Dude, you have Anime like Princess Tutu on your list. I'm not sure you're in any position to say that his enjoyments could have some "deeper" implications behind them. Just pointing out that it's a little silly, considering much of society would look at a lot of Anime in the same way. So there's not much use treating it any more than it is. Which is that it's a silly arbitrary line that society has made up. The thing is, anime is completely different from collecting plushies, anime can also have a deeper meaning and actually talk about the problems in society at the moment (Think of Accel World). I also don't see how he isn't in any position to give his opinion on this matter just because of an Anime like Princess Tutu. I can think of very colorful G rated anime (for children) that actually are pretty dark and hard to understand truly, but still giving the "child vibe". Ratings on anime are not about their deeper meanings. Him, collecting plushies can be something psychological. I just don't want to think of the possible answer at the moment. |

Which is that it's a silly arbitrary line that society has made up. Your analogies are weak. I can explain why Princess Tutu is a notable Anime worth watching, in fact, others do this in reviews and Anime blogs of their own. The same can be said about Anime in general. In fact, it can be considered ridiculous that you even talked about Anime as a whole like that, since it is simply another way of storytelling, and that it is very difficult to criticize Anime as an inferior method of storytelling that lacks all possibility of telling a story with deep meaning. However, the OP has yet to explain his interest in treating stuffed animals as living things. I can try and predict a few reasons in order to explain the phenomenon, but I won't because it wasn't the main point of my argument. The main point of my argument was that if a girl were to be interested in him, it would have to be a girl who most likely already sorted out these ideas in her head. (We're assuming this girl is interested in him for more than just a moment.) If you would like to change the main subject and talk about the possible explanations regarding the OP's condition, then please say so. |
| The dude's got a massive Kuragehime-esque jellyfish toy. Oh the envy. |
| I think it's normal, unless you love them to such extent that you sleep with them in bed and try to kill anyone who touches your favourite teddy (although the second thing is pretty understandable) |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| I like them if they are a sentimental gift, but I don't collect them. I got a stuffed rabbit from my ex-gf once (when we were still together) because she was going to visit family out of the country for a while and she was a stuffed animal collector and she gave me one of her favorites to know how much she cared for me. It's unfortunate that relationship didn't pan out. She became more cold and distant after she left and then came back. I do also have a stuffed Garfield the Cat that I received a long time ago. I've always had an attachment to Garfield the comic strip and cartoon (the one from the 80s, not the new stuff). |
| While stuffed animals by themselves are fine, I think some alterations are needed to create the greatest impression. Before having anyone come over, you should put a sound box in one of them which plays a short clip of a crying sound effect at random times during nighttime hours, and have another one which uses a motion sensor to rotate its head to follow any moving object in the room. Oh, and make sure it's capable of rotating a full 360 degrees. Also, have some very soft, barely noticeable instrumental music playing on a loop on a hidden music player, and if someone asks about it just say that you don't hear anything. |

| Nah, I think it's cute :) As long as you don't sleep with bunch of those everyday/can't sleep without them. I find it kinda creepy. |

| OP has already been confirmed for trolling with his loli thread and investment thread. Mark my words. In a couple of days he's gonna say he's allergic to water or something. |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

The OP is obviously messing around, but either way you didn't get my point. I didn't say that Anime is 'inferior'. Why would I even say that on a website made for the whole purpose of showing the anime I've watched? My point was just that a lot of popular anime would be considered very girly for guys to watch, so trying to say the OP is somehow odd while you have those shows in your list makes no sense. Adults collect stuffed animals, dolls and other toys all the time. |

You didn't get the point. Yet his liking for stuffed animals can have a deeper meaning. You ignore "that".

Hahahaha, I guessed it also, but I'll still stick to this. |

| Nope. I think its perfectly fine. lol |

Trapalicious said: The OP is obviously messing around Shhhh! Don't kill my jellyfish-toy-envy. |
| are they dolls based off a show, or are they bedtime companions. I mean if you bought one yesterday, or if its been a part of your life since you were 5 or 12. |
 |
| I think it's completely fine for a guy to have some stuffed toys. I still have a teddy bear from when I was little, a bunny from when I was born and some other things. I just can't abandon anything with a face on it... |
| I have some stuffed animals, played with them about... 10 years ago :D I think they are cute, and doesnt matter for me if guy or girl likes them. |

| hmm.. I guess it isn't that bad in this day and age, with the whole trend of girly men |

| It is unusual obviously, but if you want to have one then go on |
 |
| My family had a garage sale this past summer and we sold a bunch of stuffed animals. A few of them went to a middle aged man, who told us (even though no one asked) that they were for himself. He just enjoyed collecting them. It was unusual, but he appeared to be an otherwise "normal" guy. |

| Daniel was funnier when he had that other fake personality. This new fake personality is just obnoxious. |
 |
| is it unusual for a guy to like blow-up dolls? |
  |
Noinochi said: Plot twist: he tucks them in and then stabs them again and again with scissors...Also Daniel, I see nothing wrong with that picture, just see someone going out of their way to tuck them when it's still SUNNY OUTSIDE >:( |
| If it's ok for woman to love stuffed animals, I don't see why men can't Everything else is just sexism ;) |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
Trapalicious said: Oh no. Someone has just disrespected Princess Tutu.Dude, you have Anime like Princess Tutu on your list. Now it is time for someone to die. |
| Yeah it's definitely strange. I never even liked stuffed animals much as a kid. For grown men to enjoy having them is weird. There are exceptions, like if it has sentimental value (your first bday gift, etc.) but in general its not ok |

| This isnt a current event. And i have a big teddy bear from when I was a kid I still have that I found recently and keep it near me. |
Tsuyuu said: Yes.I really like stuffed animals, especially cats, is this really unusual for a guy? Will people find it weird? |
| I'm looking for a plushie right now, however I haven't got any results so far. |

Link_StartIII said: im 23... i cuddle/sleep with my plushies. Is this messed up for an adult who is always in a state of turmoil with no friends or a close relationship with anyone and not even family members and with many medical problems biggest one being TMJ which i may need surgery to fix so I think my plushies right now are my big supporters... Anyways, should I stop cuddling with them and just start displaying them? I'll appreciate an answer. Have you thought of buying a dakimakura? |
|
| I don't know, but my im prety sure this doesn't belong to the "current events" board. |
| I still sleep with my Winnie the Pooh plushie I got from my cousin when I was a baby, although I'm not a guy. I don't think there is anything wrong with liking them, but obsessing over them would be a bit weird. |
| I'd say yes, it's unusual, but nothing to be ashamed of |
 |
| I'd say as long as you're happy with it, I wouldn't let anyone else influence your likes. Who cares about other people's opinions for your own interests. |
| As long as you're not doing anything weird to the stuff animals, I'm sure you're fine. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| Nothing is unusual until you tell everyone about it. |
| Why? Is it unusual for a guy to ask stupid questions? No. So why are stuffed animals unusual? There's a barrier though, are you 25 and obsessed with buying stuffies, or are you 25 still clinging on that one favorite teddy bear since you were a baby? Latter one is more normal. |
| yeah it is pretty weird, unless it's something you've had since you were a kid, then i guess that's ok. but actively going out and buying some? ehhh... even i'm embarrassed to admit i still sleep with my stuffed animals and i'm a teenage girl |
