Did you have Ken dolls? How did male dolls act in relation to your female dolls?

"We had two Ken dolls to our ten-ish Barbies. We only had one Ken for the longest time so he was usually the prince at the ball our Barbies were going to. Ken was pretty much ignored. He would dance with the barbies at the ball and that was pretty much his role."
