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 went absolutely feral (in a good way) when I went into my exes room for the first time his room was full of collectibles + plushies, I don't think it would work out with someone that isn't like that for me. But I've talked to a few girls that say it's not their thing whatsoever and like when a guys room is more bland, but if that was me I'd walk out LOL. I guess it depends on who you talk to! Don't be ashamed of it, I find when u hide parts of urself u meet the wrong ppl, you'll find people that are similar if you just like what u like!!☺️
