People overcompensate many things by developing weird or costly habits. Not only men. Culture with a male dominant structure therefore develops that sort of thing in special ways since displaying "strength" or other "male" traits is a demanding social pressure that actually causes people to develop social habits like e.g. fake penis replacements that take the form of e.g. muscle-cars and such.
I'm only really aware of the mid life crisis in which some compensating for some things occurs in some men.
