The first picture is of an adult female with her wing stubs. Second picture is a nymph still and you will have to wait another molt or two to see if you have a male or female. Don't worry, you will have males in the group!

Also the first pic does look like a female but a very young one!

Plus males are not too keen on being picked up and held once they are slightly older. Just about to get wings and above. You usually know if you're holding a male because they act crazier and pinch the hell out of you by grabbing with their barbed legs if you try to hold and restrain them.
Females are more laid back for some reason.

Cool thanks! I was starting to think everyone was sorting out the males so I had to keep buying them lol!

Usually it's the other way around! Being female-heavy is a good thing
When I was breeding dubias, I'd specifically select males for feeding over females.

Both pictures in the OP are nymphs, and you can't tell the gender at all until their final molt.
