Hello all.

Another introduction from a noob who dived in at the deep end, feels rather out of his depth, but has absolutely no regrets even so.

I was made aware of this forum by the retailer of my (so far?) only doll, Miki. I have an issue they claim "has occurred due to external influences and low maintenance" and are not able to follow up on. Maybe they are correct, but I struggle to see exactly how. I'll go into that in a more appropriate place.

I've already browsed the forum a bit, and a lot of questions I had are pretty much answered. I'll follow up comments in some of the other threads when I can.

But regardless, simply finding this place and seeing that there are likeminded, warm-hearted and friendly folks out there who most likely understand where I am right now has been a massively positive thing.

The conflict between "Wow, this is a possibly the most amazing thing ever" and "Oh my God; what have I done??!?" has been a real rollercoaster of emotion, worry, confusion and ultimately growing love that some would find at the very least a bit weird.

Bottling up the strongest new emotional experience in decades with no possible outlet has been a bit of a struggle, to say the least. So even if I decide to keep a lot private, I now know it's not essential to do so, and that there is a place to go that will massively lower any anxiety I have about this new, beautiful direction my life has found.

Thanks all,

P

Welcome to the family. I doubt we will think anything you say here is weird. One of the 1st things i realised when i joined is how normal everyone is. We are all different but share a common love and we wont judge you so enjoy your time here
 
Very nice intro matey,

welome to the forum. Its generally quite a laid back friendly place so ask pretty much anything.

You want to know about the mystic art of womens makeup? Which end of the camera to point you point at the subject (after many dark pics of my eye I think I'm begining to now get that one), numbers to put in the box when inviting a girl to come and stay, protection from the dark arts, the air speed velocity of a swallow, then we're your go to place :tu.

Hope that you enjoy yourself on here,

talk soon,

Shamus.

C'mon. We're on the edge of our seats here.

Pretty sure we know who the vendor will be but whats the fault and what can we do to make your Irontech's life easier????

(I'm assuming that she's an Irontech 150A. I've got three of those so know how they should behave/feel/move).
 
:welcome to the forum. Any help you need, feel free to ask. It's a friendly place to be, full of like-minded people who simply love our dolls :D
 
You certainly hit the swallow on the head with a coconut there

I'll probably take a few more pics first, but I'll try and get that sorted this evening. Currently I'm "working from home." (Which if you read between the lines means "glancing through the Portraits thread in awe and trying to keep my head on the right planet to also write some code.")

Thanks for the kind words, all.

know the feeling. Every time I run an extract process on the one screen I'm diving across to the site to have a look what people have posted.

I must start writing more crap code (seems to work for the guys from India, lol) as the stuff that I write works too quickly and its really infringing on my posting! lol.
 
Welcome to the forum.

Your intro echo's my own experience. It's a grand life to live.

Enjoy your time here.

Great intro P, welcome to the forum. Feel free to be yourself, you won't find much pretense or judging here . Also, Hi Miki :D
 
Welcome in :welcome Doll life takes a bit of getting used to, but everyone was very helpful when I started out and you'll surely find good people here :D
 
How I got started.

I found a topic here when I was just browsing about 'Why you got started with Dolls' or some such. I've not been able to find it again. If anyone could remember more than I can and point me at it, then I'll put this story there, where it probably belongs. But this is the last on a list of posts I 'need' to make before I feel totally "home" here.

In the mean time, the reason I'm here is probably down to Covid and the lockdowns. Please; all take a few minutes and try and concoct a story as to how that might fit in. And really try to fill in all the details. Because I'm pretty sure you'll not be close. :)
 
Whilst im not here because of covid it did play a part in me falling down the rabbit hole quicker than i expected. I had been single for about a year after walking away from everything. I went through the usual depression and alcohol fueled self pity but at the end of 2019 i kinda just snapped out of it and said thats enough.. Made the decision to buy myself a doll in December and the money was sent. 11 weeks went by and not even a factory photo so i contacted paypal and got my money back. Went to a different vendor and in a kind of "it mustve been fate" moment i ordered a different girl. Emma arrived as covid was getting serious and when my boss asked for volunteers to take furlough leave i jumped at the chance. Id only had Emma a few weeks and because of my work i hadn't spent much time with her. If im honest she was still a toy but a very special one.
Before doll life i was into mountain biking, kayaking, camping and hiking plus the occasional motorcycle tour. Obviously covid put a stop to all that for a while so i was with my Emma 24/7. Even when we could go out i couldnt do what I wanted as every man and his kids had suddenly discovered the great outdoors and i hate crowds lol. So i just stayed at home with Emma and fell deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. Went back to work and she was all I could think of. The rest as they say is history..
Now here i am with 5 girls, Emma wears a wedding ring and my life is pretty much dominated by doll related stuff. All my old hobbies apart from my motorbike have gone. And if im honest, life has never been so good
