Testosterone
This is just a personal theory but I believe being around other aggressive males in an aggressive environment boost your testosterone. I’m going to go back to the military on this one but I noticed every time I had an extended stay my muscles seemed harder, I was more aggressive, and I didn’t sweat the small stuff. These are all attributes consistent to that of the alpha male or in other words – males with high testosterone and low cortisol. I can only imagine to what extent this would be like in prison. Certain tribes in Papua New Guinea hold similar beliefs. The men go out to hunt and converse about the future of the village while the women gather fruits and veggies and rear the children. They only ever meet in their huts at night. Youtube star Elliott Hulse has a similar theory but I’ll let you watch that one yourself.
