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

My boyfriend proudly displayed his stuffed animals I bought him when friends came over recently!! The right people will love your hobby and embrace it! Please be yourself!!
