Who says "...maxing" nowadays? (sopuli.xyz)

I have read people write and heard people say words like "jobmaxing", "hobbymaxing" and stuff like that. I guess I understand what these words mean, but I am confused as to where the "...maxing" thing comes from.

I had totally normal people talk to me like this, but I also somehow connect it to Andrew Tate and people like that. Is using these words - to you - a telltale sign of a guy who has issues with women? Or is it something you also would say in a normal conversation (assuming you treat women with respect)?

And does anyone know where these terms originated from?
