I think I can explain as someone who gets this a lot. For me at least and how I’ve heard it described about me, it’s a level of self-confidence about being a man without needing to perform.
There are a lot of men that feel the need to constantly prove their masculinity through driving loud cars or fighting or being an asshole. They usually also avoid things they see as feminine like displaying (non-anger) emotions or even things as small as wearing pink or purple. The idea is that this stems from an internal insecurity, that they’re insecure in their manhood and feel the need to prove it to others so they can feel it themselves.
For me I’m comfortable as a man without needing to prove it to anyone else. This outwardly usually is demonstrated by activities like not being embarrassed to cry at a sad scene in a movie or being willing to get my nails done when I’m out with the girls. Internally it just means I’m not particularly concerned with how “masculine” my actions are, I just live my life and try to enjoy it.

Such folk don’t care what other people might think to not even be thinking about what other people might think
It means he doesn’t worry about people thinking he’s gay. Or if they did, he wouldn’t care. He knows he is hetro and doesn’t have to prove it.
Id just say it’s a man who knows whats expected of him as a man, and doesn’t give a damn if anyone disagrees.
It’s boils down to self acceptance imo.
There is no ‘gender’ there is no way we have to behave given our sex, it’s all based on stupid stereotypes over decades that closed mind people then cling to.
We can all act how we like, be ourselves and people shouldn’t judge but sadly do. Being comfortable means you just don’t care
