Guys and Stuffed Animals

Why don't guys like stuffed animals? Will it make them less manly if they have a little teddy bear? Are they less of a guy because they have a little soft cuddly friend? I don't get it. Wouldn't you be less of a man since you're so afraid of what others will think of you? I for one, love stuffed animals especially the really soft ones. I am also not a guy, so it's hard for me to relate I guess. I have about 6 bazillion pillows on my bed and two little stuffed bears that I sleep with at night. A few years ago, someone gave me a stuffed monkey for a gift. Why? I'm not quite sure, I don't really remember. Anyways, this monkey has been sitting in my closet for a long time. Since I'm going to be moving out of my apartment in a few months, I've decided that I should start sorting through my junk and clean out the stuff that I don't use. That is when I found this long lost monkey in my closet. I didn't really know what to do with it...so what better thing to do than re-gift it and be entertained in the process. heehee. So I picked a victim *ahem* I mean a friend, let's call him..."looks like a freshman." So this friend of mine didn't know what to do with the monkey. His expression was priceless when I gave him the monkey and he looked at me and said, "What do I do with it?" Just for entertainment purposes I told him to hug it when he went to bed. I knew that he wouldn't know what to do with it, and just wanted to see what he would do. So, now the monkey is just sitting in his closet abandoned too, and will probably be re-gifted again to someone else, only to sit in another closet. Poor little monkey...

I am a guy, 18 years old, and I sleep with a wolf stuffed animal and I don't think of myself of any less of a man. I don't see why there is really any problem with it. Maybe if I carried it around or something than that would be weird, but just sleeping with it I don't see any problem.
