Partly a mirroring thing, partly a "wearing different hats for different jobs" thing. If my aim is to be accepted as "one of the boys", I know the fastest way to that end is cracking dirty jokes and being a bit louder and brasher. If I want a girl to like me, then I want to put her at ease so she feels safe around me, so I'll "play nicer" around her compared to when I'm cracking wise with the guys. That's just me though, and I'm sure some guys take it to excess (as in, they actually start to feminise their own personality to try and "be like the girls". My goal is never to be LIKE her, but simply to have HER like ME. And it's human nature to mirror the mannerisms of those we want to like us.)
