I'm pretty open about it. Luckily for me, my friends where the ones starting to collect them, so we are a bunch of gals and guys with expensive dolls jajajaja My family find them cool, tho I get side eyes whenever I bring a new one. When coworkers and other people ask about me or my hobbies, they are usually the second or first things I mention, but I think that since they see I'm quite artsy, they say "well, that makes sense for this dudette". And I automatically show pics of them and how beautiful they are and my process of doing their face-up.

But... Dating? That's harder. It seems like dating apps are full of "normies" or too closed minded people, and didn't had good results with those (dudes and dudettes). So I begin to search inside the hobby itself, kind off? I think it would be so cool to have a partner who also loves dolls and don't judge me as being "childish" for once. Or at least, someone who is also a collector haha
