Correlation does not equate to causation. From what I have seen, it's simply appealing to guys who want to "be cool" by doing all those things you mention.
You're worried too much about your masculinity to be alpha. Stop worrying about it. Their choices don't affect your choices. You are within yourself, and therefore you make your own decisions. Nobody can take your desired level of masculinity away from you. Masculinity is what you make it. You can see this by observing all of the women these days who masculinize themselves in an effort to be "good enough". Women are naturally feminine, but they can turn themselves masculine, just as guys can turn themselves feminine by focusing on it.
You choose how masculine you are. Not them.
