It's a dickhead rugger-bugger machismo thing.
That said my tolerance is quite high after years of heavy chilli consumption so I genuinely enjoy things others don't because they think they're too hot.

Yeah, I eat fairly hot too, as 20 years of smoking and drinking killed too many taste buds and age took care of some more,
but it's got to be heat + flavour, not 'I want the hottest thing I can get because that's how I prove I have a penis'.

That's why I love scotch bonnets so much, they're hot but the flavour is incredible.
