I was not expecting to find a TB this way and stocked in Australia, so it was a really nice (and affordable) surprise! Already thinking of adding a second to the home (probably a TB standard for the next). BUT until then I also have one of the SM silicone? elf dolls to look forward to receiving, which has been in customs limbo for 2 weeks :/ The weird this is that now they're both arriving on the SAME day...this week!!!I pretty much gave up on the Vera Bates fabric / anime doll, as it was just too unrealistic for me to warm up too. I think this was mainly down to it's anime face and home-made nature (bad back/waist on the skeleton, bright pink skin etc). After all, this was not a store product but an after hours project by some of the company staff. I got it at an absolute bargain price, so in retrospect it was an interesting experiment and decent entry level life-size doll. It certainly piqued my interest enough to want to obtain some better dolls in future...
I also dabbled with a 100cm silicone doll, but whilst the body was decent I found the head to be to juvenile in overall appearance and that definitely made me regret the purchase, despite not having the funds for something more substantial at the time (if only the 65cm JM milf doll was available back then).
If I had to give any advice to new purchasers of love dolls it would be to do your homework and research all the different companies first before committing to something. The prices vary, the looks vary, the quality varies, weight varies, the styles vary and sometimes it's even possible to get a lifesize doll for the same price (as with TB's etc) as one of the smaller dolls...
The reason for returning to dolls is due to being diagnosed with stage IV bowel cancer about 10months ago. Never thought I'd have to face this and in my 30s! It's been a shocking, trying and sometimes terrifying experience, but I intend to be here for a long time.
Anyway, the thing with getting a terminal illness is you all of a sudden release how alone you are - especially in the sense that the fight is essentially entirely yours to face. You also realize who your real friends and family are... going back to the topic, I've not been able to find that person for me...and I figure with this sickness my chances of finding a genuine woman will be almost impossible.
That being said, I'm not even sure I want a real woman at this time due to the recent strong feminist change of attitude, the demands and other related baggage that usually comes with a serious relationship. The idea of cuddle buddies is probably what I'm most looking for nowadays without any added stress...the reason why dolls seem like the perfect addition to my life. Plus I'm not denying myself the higher end stuff now, so I expect a much more positive experience. Basically just want to have fun with it and not take it all too seriously.
The SM doll is 35kg and I know that I can no longer lift anything near that weight, so she's probably be a permanent couch buddy. But the Teddy Babe offers a lot of flexibility and possibilities...
So I've been here before, but here's my reintroduction to the forum.
