When will we get more traditionally masculine hair/clothes?

You mean if you live in a Western country with Western tastes.
Will people ever realise there are other cultures in the world, and this game was made in Japan? I wonder (=w=;

Even in the West, it's not like the people in Beverly Hills have same hairstyles as those in Farmville, Kansas or Compton.

Yes, they do. Even in Lawrence, Kansas. The newly basketball national champions.

The popularity or normalcy of hairstyles in the US varies greatly, even from state-to-state. Cultural origins and income bracket are also heavy factors.

It really does feel like most of the hair in the game caters to femme/androgyne beauty standards. There's not very many short hairstyles and a lot of them that are actually going for something that I would consider traditionally masculine aren't done quite right. Take the male hairstyle you get as part of the wedding quest--it's technically right but in specific the way the hair lays is weird. It's going for a 1950s newscaster kind of vibe (which I love), but fails horrifically to hit that point because of some weird anti-gravity decisions.

Fallout 4 is probably a good place to start if you want to think about new hairstyles that would be nice. It's an old game so you know it doesn't need a lot of tech to pull it off and they have entire categories of male hair represented there that SE hasn't touched in 8 years.

hair like the NPCs i listed would be a good start

That second image looks like a seriously 'roided up George Michael.

Something else to keep in mind is the Traditionally Masculine WESTERN hairstyles tend to be on the short/close-cut side and those styles are significantly associated with work in Japan. On the other hand, Anime Protagonist and Host Club hairstyles have the association with escapism and Cool Factor which is what video game fashion's all about right?

If you go into a Japanese super market you'll see 99% of the people there are women, 0.2% are Japanese men buying alcohol and drinking snacks, and the rest just maybe are a mix of foreigners. Japan is overwhelmingly Japanese and fashion/style reflects that, unlike more diverse nations like the US, UK, and Germany.

No, you and the other are trying intentionally to fail to understand make it hard. No brown thing there is different cultures. Yet we getting only girl hairstyles as "unisex" is directly affected by two things. Money, no budget to create two unique styles which fit the sexes and politics aka pandering

[ErryK]

we used to get two hairstyles per patch (after they finished doing the type-0 hairs) and one used to be masculine and the other feminine, now we just get feminine hairs. *shrug*

But also more importantly I would like to see beard and facial hair not tied to a face but I guess that's not easy or even possible to change at this point.

I would be satisfied with EYEBROWS.

EYEBROWS FOR HIGHLANDERS TODAY.

The in-game rationale is stupid and never even talked about anywhere ever.
