These guys all have terrible father relationships and mega-scale social awkwardness. None of them felt they were ever perceived as being "manly," so now they are trying on some new personas and flexing how they think "real men" behave. Each of them is cosplaying as a fully developed, mature human being. They do not seem to have undertaken the difficult process of self-reflection nor explored and developed virtues such as wisdom, courage, justice, or temperance.
