Villager gender ratio?

[Anitagonist]

I was curious bc Idk why but it kinda bugs me but it also feels restrictive I don't want an island of just 1 gender but at the same time I enjoy a lot more of the female villagers so do you guys have like a ratio of how many animals you have in each gender or do you just have an all female or male island? Or heavily leaning towards one or the other?

I like to have 1 of each personality so it ends up being an even split for me.

I like to have 1 of each personality so it ends up being an even split for me.

So personality is more of a concern vs actually the gender? But it just so happens to even out?

 

[Venn]

It is always had half and half. 1 of each personality, and the 9th and 10th villager are extras. So I always have 5 males and 5 females.

 

[moo_nieu]

coincidentally i have 5 of each

 

[Radiant Dreamer]

i have just 3 dudes at the moment, 6 gals. got an empty house right now, heh. i do have a preference for the girls, they tend to be cuter. and the jock personality annoys me.

 

[EmmaFrost]

I have 5 male villagers - Marshal, Dom, Raymond, Cole and Sasha
And 5 female - Megan, Fauna, Etoile (moving atm), Tangy and Merengue.

i choose villagers based on design, not personality or gender, which means my villager ratio leans heavily male because i like a lot of the lazy villager designs. right now, my island has 6 male villagers and 4 female villagers. (4 lazies, 1 jock, 1 peppy, 2 snooty, 1 smug, 1 normal.) my final line-up will be the same, except it'll be 2 normals and 1 snooty instead, since skye and julia are just rotating through.

both my NL towns are about the same. my first town currently has 5 female villagers and 5 male. (4 lazies, 1 cranky, 3 normal, 1 snooty, 1 peppy.) admittedly, 2 of them -- one of each gender -- aren't permanent, but i'm too lazy to cycle them out now. if they ask, they can go, but right now they're just there. my second NL town currently has 5 male villagers and 4 female villagers. (1 snooty, 1 peppy, 2 normal, 2 lazy, 1 jock, 2 smug.) i have one free space, since it can only be filled by a camper or from someone else's void, and one of my smugs isn't permanent.

at least i seem to be consistent asdfghjk. a lot of my villagers made the journey over from my NL towns -- kid cat, punchy, lucky, biskit, vivian and bob.

I prefer having at least one of each personality, and I also prefer having 5 and 5. But I’m okay with a 6/4 ratio as well, if I like all the villagers. Right now I happen to have six male and 4 female villagers, so if a female villager moved, I would only invite another female villager to move in.

 

[JulianSG16]

Right down the middle, 50/50. And I ship 'em all based on interactions. Twiggy and Aurora can't stay out of each other's houses, there's gotta be something there.

 

[corlee1289]

I have one of each personality, and make it 5 males and 5 females. While also trying to get different species.

 

[cocoacat]

I only have 2 males - Zell and Zucker. I very much have a preference for the peppy and normal designs, and most of the males I like are lazy.

Now that I think about it, I think my New Leaf town only has 2 as well - Broccolo and Butch.

 

[dragonair]

I have one of each personality but it balances out to be 6 females and 4 males. I tend to prefer the female personalities more as well as design so I always have extras of those.

 

[~Kilza~]

I have an even 5:5 split. Part of that has to do with making sure I have 1 of each personality, so I'd always have 4+x:4+y no matter, and my "extra" personalities have worked out to be one male personality (lazy) and one female personality (normal) to make it an even 5:5.

 

[Harebells]

I know they have set gender, and I know the dialogue uses gendered terms, but it's never really been something I've paid much attention to. Certainly not to the point of making sure I have a certain balance in game.

By luck I have 6 male and 4 female villagers at the moment, but I don't strongly associate them as male/female regardless of the pronouns used or character design. End of the day they are all getting the same clothing item gifted to them, whether it's a victorian dress or a flashy cardigan. Their in game gender doesn't mean much to me

 

[rip]

i only have 3 girls, and the rest are guys. i guess i’m partial to male designs.
ive gone through all 400+ villagers multiple times and made sure my permanent lineup only includes my absolute favorites design-wise and it just happened to be mostly dudes, but i don’t really mind. i also don’t really pay attention to the personalities & ended up with zero uchis.
to be honest, it doesn’t matter all that much. just invite whoever you like the best.

 

[pawprints]

I like one of each personality then the extras are usually doubles of my favorite male/female personalities. My favorite has always been lazy overall, so I always have two lazy villagers then for female, it's either peppy or normal (sweet?)! I have two normals atm because I had Maggie in my campsite and she reminded me of my dog so I kicked Audie out for her lol

 

[Arckaniel]

I'm planning to have 6 female villagers: Bunnie, Lolly, Willow, Francine, Chrissy, Renee (might get Marina or Lily if I meet them tho)

and 4 male villagers:
Sasha (have), Raymond (have), Dom, Fang

tbh I don't really care about the ratio as long as I have all the personality traits then it's all good that's why most of the time my line up is either 6:4 or 5:5

 

[Edge]

I usually have an even split, but I have had 6 male and 4 female before.

 

[Fey]

I’d like to have an even split of 5:5, but I’ll consider 6:4 either direction (more male or more female villagers) if that’s how it works out.

I probably have an equal amount of favorites in both groups, so it’s easy enough to go for a balance.
