When good friends suddenly turn out to be amazingly badass, men and women react in two completely opposite extremes.
"Holy shit, how did he suddenly become such a badass?! Could it be he's been hiding his true power just to show off in a big way right now? To even lie to his bros, he's really something else. A guy like this is bound to have his future kids born without..." That is roughly a guy's reaction.
All in all, it is a very contradictory state of mind: you hope your bro becomes a badass, but if he leaves you too far behind, you feel a profound sense of imbalance.
