Default Masculine stamping ideas?

I need your help! I am having a super hard time in the new SU catalog trying to find sets that can be neutral, either masculine or feminine. Or even just something that is mainly masculine! Any ideas? I have a few sets in mind: Unfrogettable, Loads of Love, Voila, Wanted, Bronc Buster. I am not interested in the sporty themed stuff. And it would be nice if it wasnt more suited for kids. Maybe I am just frustrated and being picky.

Perhaps you have some extra technique suggestions besides the stamp sets themselves. Any help would be great. Thanks for listening.

Sometimes just toning down the colors helps. Use a dark green on a tan background for instance, and you can even send some of the flower designs to a guy.
Take a look in the gallery and search for the word masculine in the titles.

I think Baroque Motifs is a good gender neutral set. I am even thinking about using it for my Christmas cards.

Default Masculine Cards

I think the Winds of Grace set or lighthouses make great guy cards. I have a tendency to use dark blues. I love watercoloring and it looks like such a fun set to paint. I often use leaves or trees for guy cards as well.

A Muse has really great stamps for manly cards. Stamps like a superhero, rockstar, couch, just to name a few.
