Also, guy is excessively obsessed with people's personal sex lives, and seems to try to match people to caricatures and archetypes. He seems to have problems appreciating complexity and things that aren't white and black.
A lot of extremely smart people are like this with social aspects, because they become entrenched in proof/disproof and absolute right and wrong points from excessive academic achievement.
No wonder the guy a) was fascinated with an extreme cult college where extreme academics with poor social skills seem to go, and b) is obsessed with Las Vegas.
I recall reading a Catcher in the Rye which is popular precisely because of stunted/novice social development narrative perspective (protaganist is a teenager) identifying everyone as "phonies". Same vibe here.
