I would not consider a white carerra feminine but as an ideal colour for a 997 - no I don't think so.
White cars can be stunning - and I have a nice white 1994 Mercedes E220 Coupe but the problem with white is that it can tend to hide and blur all the nice curves and styling lines a car can have. Its no accident many race cars are white since the colour hides many dings and scratches.
The 997 is just one big set of curves so darker colours accentuate the visual impression of these - obviously black does this best.

Beautiful pictures of a Carrara White 997.2 in the Sierrras. I love the 997.2 in White and it is actually my first choice for mine. My only concern is based on something my wife brought up a couple of days ago, that it might be viewed as a feminine color.
Thoughts?

White does not show lines? What do you think of this side shot?
Kills bugs in a masculine way:
More curves (the car a$$ not the color):

There are exceptions though.
1. You live in a warm climate.
2. You get it with black wheels and an aerokit.

Carrera white is classy & not feminine.
Cream white is actually a light brown-PINK color that is undoubtedly feminine.
General stereotypes:
White: Clean/Classy
Black (and other very dark colors): Serious
Red, Blue, Yellow: Flashy, hey look at me.

I thought this about white too when I was looking for my current car - I even pooh-poohed one that my ex showed me that was white.
However, I've since come around (though I love my Slate Grey too).
I think my next one will be white with natural brown inside like Tony's
