What a fascinating topic to wake up to. I've read every post and I am not half as eloquent as the rest of you, but here are my thoughts.
How do you define masculine.
To me masculine is a state of mind, not what one wears or does. Please indulge me while I define my idea of masculinity with an example, and feel free to skip this part LOL: I raised my son to be empathic, sensitive, and told him repeatedly it's okay for boys to cry just as much as it is for girls. And guess what? He's now 31 years old, and is the kindest, gentlest most sensitive child a mother could ask for. He would kiss me goodbye every morning in the car when I dropped him off for school even through his senior year right in front of his friends. He didn't care that his friends would see, he just loved his mom. I raised him not to be a racist which despite what one would like to think, is still not easy in the deep south, even in the late 20th/early 21st century. His best friend in high school and his best friend from the Navy were both Black. His friend from the Navy is still his best friend. I taught him it's not okay to hit women, don't hit just walk away. I also taught him that it's not okay for women to hit men.
I suppose I wasn't aware of the term "toxic masculinity" at the time, but I understood the concept and wanted to go 180 degrees in the opposite direction with my child.
He's also 6 feet tall, 200 pounds, has a full bushy beard and hair past his shoulders. He spent 10 years serving his country in a submarine in the Navy. Now he's going to school to be a computer security expert. All of those things are masculine to me, because they are what he believes in.
What does your masculine sim like to do?
It depends on their traits. My music lover male sims play the piano and guitar (I HATE the violin in this game!), while my loves the outdoors sims mostly fish, etc.
What career would your masculine sim like?
I really like everyone else's suggestions on new careers, but I would also love to see more careers that have for centuries been traditional where I live - farming (NOT Cottage Living farming, real farming), logging, and commercial fishing. I expect I'll never see those, though. They could be rabbit hole jobs, but still. Too rural for the Sims. :angry:
What would your masculine sim like to wear?
I download a lot of clothing CC to give my male sims better wardrobes. Jeans that actually cover their ankles. Nike Air Jordans! Cowboy boots that look good. Cowboy hats! Trucker caps. Lots of plaid shirts with tee shirts underneath.
Does your masculine sim have/want body hair?
Absolutely most of them have body hair. I use LuumiaLover's body hair to give most of my male sims (even townies!) body hair, based on what I perceive as their ethnicity. Black and white sims, yes to body hair, Asian and Native American sims not so much.
