    "Not looking gay" is less of a demonstration to women, and more of a virtue (virility?) signal to other men. It is masculine brainworms, definitely.

        Inter-masculine performative competition is about establishing maleness and domination as the basis for a person's valuation.

        Paradoxically, a man can talk about being with women, but actually spending time with women makes him look less macho.

        But to the people who replicate the dynamic, they do not recognize any contradiction.
