That they talk this way says nothing about how they feel or what they think. They most likely talk this way because they believe that they are expected to talk this way. A big difference. In other words, they are playing a game according to the rules that are shared in an unspoken form. They may think that unless they talk in this way, they would not be accepted as "club members" - in other words, they may talk this way out of insecurity and a desire to belong to a group; fit in.
The same point applies - do not believe everything you hear people say or write; apply critical judgment.
