This is likely obvious, but I think Nick is experiencing a midlife crisis.
It seems like he wants to be perceived as young and hip, to his detriment.
His discussion of sexuality is unappreciated, because he's a schlubby mid 40s man, he's not someone that people want to be thinking about having sex, he's almost like a relative in that regard. You know that it does happen, but you don't want to be reminded of this fact.
A well-adjusted person gets this, but Nick is partly trying to delude himself into thinking he's still a stud in his prime, and that cognitive dissonance is a good portion of why people are getting frustrated with him.
This isn't even accounting for the very clear drinking problem he's so wisely cultivating.
If he isn't careful, he will end up a divorced dad buying a muscle car and trying to pick up chicks at a college bar.
Be careful for what you wish for Nick, you might get it.
