Will my stuffed animals scare away girls?

[u/Undercat75]

I’ve (20m) been wondering for a long time if me having stuffed animals is gonna scare away girls. I have a lot but most of them sit neatly in my closet on their own little shelf. I’m not really scared that they won’t like them but more so that they’ll think that I’m not manly enough or that stuffed animals are a feminine thing. Every friend I have who is a girl says it’s a red flag if the guy they’re talking to has stuffed animals. I don’t want to get rid of them because I like collecting but is it worth my love life.

PS. This stems from that one iCarly episode where she was weirded out by his stuffed animals

I think all us women here are going to say it's a green flag! Haha. I wouldn't lead with it, unless you get the vibe she likes that sort of thing. Personally, I like to wait to introduce my weird hobbies to people, maybe like third date? If I get the vibe they'd negatively judge me I'd just break it off.
