One or two, for sentimental reasons, isn't strange.
A whole collection is though.  How old is she? |

I have a stuffed Super Grover sitting on my computer desk. I also have a lego helicopter and 5 plastic smurfs.
Deal with it. |

Feed her a turkey dinner with wine. Once she falls asleep afterwards, you can play with her collection. |

I've got a crapload of stuffed animals. Including a MarshMallow Man that I've had for 20 years.

I'm pretty relaxed and open minded, I just could not ignore that alarm bell ringing in my head. Not something I was thinking about, more like something I felt.

But having $ 15k worth of AR15s, which are almost exactly the same, except for little, tiny differences that 99% of people could not tell with the naked eye....

If she has a quality collection of say Breyer bears...thats a different story, I guess. A collection of random, cheesy stuffed animals, is a little odd for an adult. <shrug>

Some people collect coins, some people collect stamps. Others collect DVDs, posters or maybe Zippo-lighters. People are into different things. I'd guess that the average citizen would consider a collection of stuffed animals to be much less of an issue than a collection of semi-automatic rifles.

I have a reindeer and a Rotty puppy that live on our bed, but they're sentimental, hubby bought them for me ... I can't see having a whole collection at my age, and naming them.
Still, it could be worse... she could have given you a tour of her basement dungeon and shown you her whip collection or something.

I once dated a girl who had life-sized disney characters painted on her bedroom walls (she was 31).
That was a short-lived relationship. |

People collect all sorts of weird shit; it could be that some folks think collecting scary black rifles is pretty weird. As long as she isn't collecting human skulls, I'd say don't worry about it.

Every time you have a few seconds alone, prop up some of the animals in different ... "positions."

I have one little polar bear, that has some sentimental value to me.
 I don't have an issue with a quality collection of anything, but a random assortment of stuffed things... Watch out. Some day you will see her picture on the news, surrounded by her 48 cats, and 20 years of stacked up newspapers. |

People collect all kinds of things... and just because some gal happens to collect stuffed animals isn't too bad in and of itself. Some of them are quite artistic. Certainly not "my thing", but I even keep one or two around for sentimental reasons.
BUT the "isn't it cute" type comments, as though you -- a regular guy -- are supposed to get all enthused with the same sentiments indicates that's she's kind of on some different planet. Sounds to me like her biological clock is clicking into overtime and that she is obsessed with "baby type" things. Unless that is on your urgent agenda, I'd suggest not letting the screen door hit your backside. |

On a more positive note, at least she'll be able to check out the beanie babies when you take her to the gun show.

This really demands a closer look:
1. If there is a massive collection of babyish or cheap stuffed animals, and she baby-talks them, and fawns all over them in your presence, run. 2. If the collection has deeper meaning to her, like they were all given to her by close friends or family members, and she appears rational about it, no sweat. 3. If she has a collection of expensive or collectible animals, its no big deal. 4. If the stuffed animals are referred to as her "BABIES" or "children", you need to peace out, pronto. She is a timebomb wired to her biological clock, and I don't think you want to be there when it explodes. |

I think that plushies are a rare form of furry that gets off on stuffed animals (not necessarily people in animal suits). No joke. |

I own ONE: a teddy bear bought for me from a girl I went thru basic with. We remained close for many years (she even named her daughter after me) until her death in an MVA some10 years ago.
I have no use for stuffed animals...and I only keep the teddy as a reminder of my friend Joyce.

When I married my ex I was 29 & she was 19. Alls she had when we moved into our appartment was 2 garbage bags full of stuffed critters. I explained how small the place was & asked if we could get rid of them, but of course not. So after about 6 months of them filling the closet up she had them out when I came home from work & she siad to take the quickly to the burn barrel & do it. I offered to let her pick some to keep, but she said no. After 14 yrs of marriage I never stopped hearing how cruel I was for having did what she asked me to do. By the way,......turns out she was a total wack job too. I wish I had known about the stuffed pieces of trash before we got married. Could have saved me a lot of time & grief. Smart move on your part to exit stage left at the sight of the cute fuzzies. |

And I have a plush Cthulhu, but that's normal. |
