Men and Flirting

Does anyone else have a problem with how feminine flirting for men is in the game? I know this may be a sensitive subject ( for some of you) but can we please have some more manly flirting please. I really feel left out... as a straight guy. lol

    It was actually quite nice. Nothing effeminate about it, just unexpected.


    Were they in Windenburg? Its a common way to greet eachother there. I very much like that greeting, as I miss all the different ways sims could greet eachother from TS2 (don't remember if TS3 had different greetings or not), like the rough/earthy hug and "kiss kiss darling" :) I just like for my sims to greet eachother properly when they meet, instead of jumping right into a conversation.

    As for the flirting, I also wish there were different flirt options/animations for males and females. I play mostly male sims, and I rarely have them do the "Flirt" interaction, because I think it looks silly when they do it. Its not even FUNNY silly. Its just like the reactions to celebrities, ALL sims behave like fangirls at a One Direction concert (or whatever boyband is hot right now...?) One size fits all, and I'd think the Sims series would have come farther by now, to have different animations for different genders and ages, at least a couple of options? Its disappointing and a bit sad.

    Yes, it was in Windenburg. It was really nice, a good old European kiss. My sims don't go there often, but I've been giving Windenburg a make over so will be definitely a destination of choice now.

    Thanks, I'll look into those. And I don't mind that sims flirt, I just wish it would match the individual sim's persona, but it's all the same.



    You are welcome I was certainly not judging flirting/not flirting or how others like to play their own games just providing options I thought might be useful that I had already come across :)

    Enjoy your game :)

    That little coy wave-back flirting animation is rather effeminate in my book as well. Waggling eyebrows or a hinting wink would be more fitting imho. I feel it wouldn't necessarily ruin the (intended or not) cartoonish feel if done well.
