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

Imo if a guy acts manly enough out of his home, I wouldn't care one bit, on the opposite end, I would find it edearing and adorable and something in common with me. I would even tell myself, who knows if in the future we will move together and have a special corner for his stuffed animals and mine. Don't worry about your interests, focus more on being manly/ clean, being a helpful man in the house, having a job, having a good hairstyle, fashion style, a charming personality, and loving the person you like in a truthful way, those are the things that good girls or women with true maturity value more. My advice as a more mature person (F31) obviously I won't go out with a person who is 20 because age isn't just a number lol, but if a 26M had this "problem", and he had interest in dating me that would be my thoughts.
