There is gangster, cowboy, soldiers/military nerds, MMA bros, frat boys, metrosexuals, chavs, Hunter-and-gatherers, MRAs, etc
I am missing anything relavant?
What you are asking for is waaaaay to vague and open to interpretation and opinion to get a solid, factual answer.
Having said that, there are traditionally 7 broad categories.
Generally speaking, I’d say there are either eight, or 74,982. According to how narrowly you define them.
And the examples i listed weren’t probably good examples either.
Interesting to see construction worker in there.
Did I list some good examples in your book?
And well everything grows too. The reason I narrowly define them is just cause I am not too sure exactly how they go and change over time and of course don’t know the exact number of them either.
I am listing whatever I can think off
Let’s see
Biker, punk, street racers, classic gentleman, DIYers, basketballers, skaters, ninjas, male feminists, bodybuilders, etc
I am defining too narrow? Please let me know
Dad, son, grandfather, brother, alive, dead, interested in this ridiculous question, not interested in this ridiculous question. As to what you’re missing I’m sure I couldn’t say.
Lets assume for a minute there is an actual answer to this nonsensical question. What would you do with that information? What would it tell you about masculinity?
Haven’t you ever noticed what large percentage of people are male?

Your list and definition falls into a category known as “not even wrong.”
Since this is not a factual question, and probably not even answerable in any reasonable way, let’s move this to IMHO.

General Questions Moderator
Suppose that you say that “soldiers” is an example of a masculine culture. Is that the same culture as “marines”, “sailors”, and “airmen”? Or maybe those should all be lumped together as one “military” culture? But then, if we’re lumping, we could say that “masculine” as a whole is a culture. Or maybe we should cut it finer, and say that “infantry”, “artillery”, “cavalry”, and “logistics” are all different cultures. Are officers and enlisted the same culture? Active duty, reserves, and National Guard?
Are you worried about your own masculinity? You have brought this up before.
Do have relationships with your Father, uncle or Grandfather? Or a trusted mentor?
I think you need to seek out this kind of relationship. Maybe a school counselor could get you involved in a big brother type group. Our local school hires mentors to involved themselves in young mens lives who are without males in their home life.
And then there’s that pesky little problem of females in the military. Just saying.
Are drag queens a “masculine” culture? How about butch lesbians?
Transsexuals? There is a never ending ammt. of people you could put the term masculinity on.
I think the OPs query is trying box up and categorise obvious male-ness. It is not nearly so simple.
And are the militaries of different countries different cultures? I don’t expect the same 'tude from a paraca as from a legionario (and I think both are still exclusively male), but neither of those words tell anything to the immensse majority of non-Spaniards.
There are subcultures for that matter, yes.
Maybe that could play a role, but nah. I just love studying cultures, subcultures and social groups from time to time.
And I been studying masculinity as in the various ideas, types, cultures and definitions of masculinity that the world has to offer for months now.
