I'm sympathetic to the OP since the reaction was a bit rude.
That said I think he is more venting about the results of his lack of EQ more than anything else. Try to put yourself in the shoes of any ripped, well styled dude in a gay-friendly city like SF or Toronto. You probably get hit on all the time, which is going to have you on your guard constantly. Remember how they'd talk about soldiers coming back from the way who would get an adrenaline spike when they saw things like trash on the road or people driving aggressively towards them? The same defense mechanism is at work in these guys and is causing his hostile reaction.
For the rest of it....that's not masculinity. That's fem-dudes doing what fem-dudes do.
