Why do people seem to want girls more than boys?

They can have their boys

My theory is that women who are really into their appearance want girl's. They want a child that looks exactly like them because they're obsessed with themselves.

You sound mentally healthy.

GUARANTEE she’s a SAHM. Or sells on Etsy.

All kids, boy or girl, can be a huge PITA!

Moreso the boys

Being a PITA is not gender-based. I’ve known lots of males AND females who are PITA. Maybe your family didn’t raise their boys properly, and that’s on all of you.

It’s not universal but it’s generally true.

Ask school principals what % of troublemakers are boys vs girls. At our school it’s 80% boys.

Then there’s something wrong with your school. Are they actually troublemakers, or being called that because they are just being normal children?

Actual troublemakers.

I'm a lesbian. I love dresses and decorating rooms in pastel colors.

I think some people fall in love with the pretty nursery decorations, and the cute girl clothes, and the princess stuff (especially if they are also into Disney). Plus little girls up to the tween years do tend to be a little “easier,” more controllable, hit the milestones like talking and reading earlier. Not all, of course, but many. But like ... starting in late elementary the wheels come off and suddenly she only wants to wear leggings and sneakers like the HS girls and paint her room gray or blue and drop dance class in favor of soccer or robotics club. They all turn out as gross teenagers in the end lol.

What's wrong with soccer and robotics for a girl?

Nothing and I can’t believe that’s what you latched onto from my post. Super weird. The point is they don’t stay young girly-girls forever (and some are never “girly” at all!) - they grow up very fast. It’s cringeworthy that some people wanted Harry and Meghan to have a girl because of “the cloooooothes!” basically.

Wow, calm down. Sorry I offended you. I guess I latched on to that because I don't have a "girly" girl, and I wasn't one myself, and usually, when someone says "the wheels come off", that's a negative connotation.

Yep. They get to relive their own lives.

Then there’s something wrong with the school. It’s not providing the right environment for boys.

Better clothes

A female princess would grow up to be a major style icon.
