You know Cap, it's just a thing. A masculine man more often than not just doesn't want to be seen as "girly" or anything equivalent to it.
I remember when I was 14 and my dance teacher (jokingly) asked me if I was gay because I was afraid to stand too close behind my female partner, or hold her a certain way. I went home and cried. I'm 18 now and I still remember it.
Take into account I'm also very sensitive I admit.
