Woman collects dolls: creepy!
Man collects “action figures”: cool nerd boy!
🤔
What in the world are you talking about? Since when would action figures collected by an adult human male be considered “cool”?!
That is low-status behavior for a male! A girl collecting action figures might be seen as a cool nerd girl, but even then it’s still a bit risky if she wants to expand her dating pool into high-status normies and not come off as a fujoshi. She’s only protected by the thin veil of women being perceived as harmless, foreign, and low-agency.
