Yep this is one of the Big issues with this Hobby, Until some Day in the Far Future, where Sex Robots/ Androids, whatever you want to call it, are commonplace this will be a problem, whether you live alone or in a crowded apartment, some people are just not going to be sympathetic to the Hobby, until then you have to find ways to hide what you have..... :new-alien:

Hi UGG! We are all friends here so keep with us whatever happens - even if Rob has to go for a while!

You may be able to get the conversation round to dolls by approaching it in a different way. Say you have a friend that has a doll and you think it's cool! What does he think? Just a simple way of seeing his reaction! If he thinks it's cool too then maybe you can then say he was the main reason for you to get one as well! If he thinks it's not right then you know what your choices are!

I comes down to the fact that 80% of mankind is plain stupid. They reject anything they do not know, if possible with violence. Hence all the wars going on for centuries in the past en centuries to come. I am into BJD's and thats more the art and collectors side of the doll world, but because i am male, it is not accepted. Also not in the netherlands which claims to be such a modern broad thinking country....... kiss my you-know-what. I am afraid we have to deal with it.

I built a simple pine box -- erm, ok... its a coffin. Check it out from my signature link, if you're handy instead of handsome. I included details about dimensions as well.
alternatively, a full size wardrobe is a good solution as well.

Hope this helps you.

I've kind of just decided to burn that bridge when I come to it. I think this guy will understand if I do tell him. He's really nice, and he understands when I get word vomit, and he's understanding about a lot of other things that have come from my being alone for so long.

I honestly don't even know where I stand with him right now, anyway though. I think I've been friendzoned. We were acquaintances, then we became friends with benefits, and now we're friends, but there still seems to be something there, so I don't know. Like i said, I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

I did what you said a long time ago before telling my friend. I tested the waters, and she was completely disgusted, but i ended up having to tell her anyway. She tries to act supportive, but I know she's judging me.

As far as I know, when it comes to this guy, he has a problem with porcelain dolls, and a problem with their "cold dead eyes", so I don't know.

Thanks for the advice though, and I intend to stick around no matter what happens. I really have no clue as to what the future holds with Rob. I don't even find myself attracted to him like I used to be anymore. I can't even cuddle with him and imagine that it's my guy friend since my guy friend is a 6ft tall 310 pound prowrestler. The only men I'm sure of right now are the three wise men; Jim, Johnny, and Jack, and their good friend Mr. Boston.

Well, all I can say is just be yourself and not try to be what you think others want you to be! The truth may hurt sometimes but it's always the truth! I'm an oldie, been married twice and two daughters from the last marriage who are well in their 30s. I am very close to my eldest daughter and we have never had many secrets between us over the years and it's paid off. When I was considering getting a doll I told her and she's cool with it - she hasn't met her yet mainly because there's too much going on in her life at the moment.

I told her because she does come round quite often and I didn't want her to just 'discover' Ashaki in some way (Ashaki is also black so there would be a double whammy there!)! I've broken it in gently with my daughter as she is going to have to clear my place if something happens to me! As far as your dad is concerned, he is probably too old to understand fully now what your needs are but it's always hard for a dad to watch your daughter do things which you find strange and try not to get involved! That's something I've learnt over the years and, as I say, it's paid off for me!

Good luck in whatever you do! Hollows.

:D I guess I am lucky...the only people who come throught the lodge's door already know about my dolls, and my other businesses on the side including doll repairs/restorations for clients..my gals mostly are always out throughout the lodge as companions and visual security for the odd prowler when I am away....and I often have to moderate visitors affections of visitors trying to seduce them and vice versa...Natasha is the worst offender here 8O ...she encourages vistors to feel her butt and flirts outragously with them...but she is an older and very experienced campeigner....If I ever was going to run a doll Brothel...she would be the madam...and Lilith would be the muscle :lol: Lilith even scares the random o'possums away :lol:

Jessica Jade is looking right at me now...with her "you wouldn't...would you Anung" face on :lol:

You are safe gals..Anung :lol:

My dad has accepted it. Althought he doesn't like it. I was forced to tell my friend before because she's my dad's home health aid and is always in the house. It's clear that she doesn't understand it. She probably gosspips about it. There was no point in my telling her anyway. My dad had already told her before I could.

My guy friend is the only one that I'm worried about having to tell him about it, but as I said, I'll burn that bridge when I come to it.

I'll probably just burn it. That's usually what I do. It's the reason the reason I turned to dolls in the first place, lol. My guy friend actually says something similar all the time. He doesn't just burn his bridges. He burns them while standing on them so that everyone knows how serious he is.

Lol, The best possible scenario is that I cross his bridges then burn them from the other side so that no other woman can cross after me. It would be pretty hard for me to burn any major bridges with this guy, weMre too much alike, so we understand each other. I've already done things that would burn bridges with a normal man, but this guy couldn't care less. I never thought I would connect on ANY sort of level with a prowrestler/comedian of all people, lol, after not connecting with anyone in years.
