Finding Love Interests

One of the reasons I like playing The Sims is so that I can create many beautiful and interesting women. o:)
My main Sim usually starts off as a single dude:

In the meantime I populate all the worlds with lots of said women in the hope he'll meet at least one of them:

I'd like to retain some level of control, so if it is important for storytelling purposes that he does meet a specific lady, I also use the club system and set it up as a group of friends, study club, platoon, group of archaeologists, survivors etc.

My stories are not focused on romance, but if it needs to happen, at least there's some quality out there for him. Pre-mades are a NO, except for Zoe Patel. She's welcome, but she's usually not the one he (I) settle(s) for.
Now, sometimes it happens that one of my guys autonomously seems more interested in another male... Whatever feels natural is OK with me, but it may or may not change the story completely. Depending on the latter, this is where I could decide to use my most impressive godly powers: 'yes' or 'no'.

I have a bit of a plan going forward with some sims, like who I would LIKE for them to partner up with. Some times they take things out of my hands, though, and develop interest for the same gender. I have many male gay couples spread all over my saves. They've more or less happened naturally, with little or no input from me. My sims just gravitated towards them, and that was it. Had to find alternatives for the potential partner I had in mind for them :) I don't play out or create stories really, so whatever the game throws at me, is usually what I go for.

And I had to say, gorgeous sim ladies there! Also, aweesome pic of your sim too! :D
