Why the dichotomy in behavior? I don't know.

You answered your question... It is a cultural thing. In the US the bigger the better. This approach applies to arrogance and pride, beat your chest and place your male genitals on the table. Everything is to the extreme and nothing out of the standard shall have place or even entertained as a possibility of growth or advancement. We might think we are brave and have courage but at the end we are just full of fear and violence.
