As a male i feel self-conscious about liking/wanting a daughter more?

I'm a guy. My entire life I've gotten along with girls better more than guys. Grew up with sisters too. I don't know if that has anything to do with the following: but my heart absolutely melts when I see little girls. I like kids as it is, but little girls are on another level. I don't know if I will ever have kids of my own but if I do, I would love to have a daughter and might spoil her rotten with lots of care, love and understanding. I'd be the kind of dad she could come to for anything. Though it might be ideal if she goes to her mom for some topics just so she isn't uncomfortable sharing it with a male.

While I have nothing against having a son, generally speaking boys can be bratty as heck (I was one myself until my 20s) and girls are rather sweet and adorable. I can imagine hugging and kissing my future daughter way more than a son, and also being a lot more caring towards her, and even if she cried at everything I'd be good at comforting or listening to her.

But we live in a world where people instantly question or label someone having an extreme or unusual liking towards... well anything. I have absolutely no malicious or unhealthy intentions but I criticize myself a lot sometimes and so here I am. Is it normal to feel this way?

    I'm the father of a twelve year-old girl, and I was a little relieved when the doctor doing the ultrasound on my pregnant wife told us we were going to have a girl.

    Having been a boy and having spent a good part of my working life in all-male environments, I hadn't been looking forward to the challenges of trying to raise a son who ended up being a decent man in spite of all the social and hormonal pressures pushing him towards becoming a total dickhead.

    It’s normal that you want a daughter because you believe little girls are all sweet and innocent and can do no wrong but I’m a girl and I was a little bitch so you might be surprised. In my opinion, girls can be meaner and colder than boys.

    I feel you on this, dude. I want one strong son and two daughters. I would give them lots of cuddles and kisses!

    I know a couple of guys that only wants daughters. It’s pretty normal. But it sounds like you like the thought of having a little angel so therefore you want one.

    But dude, no matter what sex your child is. They won’t be born angelic and sweet. Some can be real monsters if you spoil them and be too lenient. Take it from a older sister with a very big family and someone who used to work with kids.

    You have completely idealized girls. I suggest you figure out a way to listen to some teenage girls conversations, and you'll soon see how bitchy, bratty, sex crazed and not at all as innocent as your mind has led you to believe we are.

      Exactly. Same issues will arise no matter the sex.

    Nah, fuck that noise, have some daughters.

    My fiancée is pregnant at the moment and I’d be absolutely overjoyed to have a daughter. Of course I’d be happy with a son too, really we are just wishing for a healthy and happy cub, but I’d never be the type to be like “Ugh, I wanted a son!” Like you see some idiots on tv do.
    But I want like 9 kids, boys and girls, anyway.

    I’ve been told my whole adult life that people hope I raise some girls, which I always found funny, but consider to be a compliment.

    Anyway, there are too many males who have weird views or can’t get along with women, it’s good that you seem to do well. It’s annoying when you see men get pissy when they find out they will be having a girl. I’ve seen some “gender reveal” videos where the men throw a whole fit over it.

      9 kids? You trying to kill your woman?

        Lmfao 9 is probably a bit over exaggerated, 5 or 6 is probably more realistic. We both want a big family, and part of her dream is to adopt a girl from her hometown

        Also it’s likely we will be getting a surrogate at some point. We will see how this pregnancy goes, if there are any issues that will obviously change things
