I am a female simmer, but I often play male sims. Something is masculine when it is traditionally associated with men, but that doesn't mean that women can't have masculine traits or find enjoyment in masculine content. I wish there was more content for my male sims, especially in CAS.
1: How do you define masculine?
I suppose my views are quite traditional. I associate masculinity with being a provider, strong, courageous, independent, assertive, protective, and practical.
2: What does your masculine sim like to do?
Before I answer I should probably give some context. My main sim is a male vampire from the 15th century and was also raised by women. Gender norms have also changed throughout his life and so he's not a typical modern man. He still believes in chivalry and being a gentleman, but he doesn't really care much about what we mere mortals today consider masculine or feminine. He's comfortable just being himself. He particularly enjoys creative activities, including cross-stitching, writing, singing, playing guitar and piano. He also enjoys listening to the radio, reading, baking, dancing, fitness and wellness activities. Being immortal means he has a lot of time for a lot of hobbies. He's also a husband, cat dad and father and enjoys spending time with his family and supporting them.
3: What career would your masculine sim like?
Freelance musician or perhaps a horse riding instructor/groom. His BFF is more handy and would make a great mechanic or repairman.
4: What would your masculine sim like to wear?
Smart casual traditional menswear, which really limits my choices in CAS! We would both really appreciate some more plain Henley/polo shirts (preferably buttoned up), classic full-length jeans and trousers, dapper suits, underwear and sleepwear to choose from. He wears a variety of colours, but favours blue, black, grey, brown and red.
5: Does your masculine sim have/want body hair?
He doesn't since I play vanilla, but he wouldn't mind a bit of chest hair. His BFF will also hopefully have some body hair very soon, particularly during the full moon...
