I felt very much the same way reading this. I typically associate these actions (namely glorified partying and objectifying women) with severe lack of confidence, self awareness and, and individuality. These are not qualities I would expect from an emotionally mature 41 year old that is retired and happy. It sounds like iretired missed something early on (while 'busting his ass' presumably), and is trying to play catch-up.

Party life does not appeal to me at all, but I respect such choice. iretired worked hard, cashed out and now has his fun. I think he would get bored of that party life in another year or so, marry one of his girlfriends and move back to Silicon Valley for another venture. Edit: I take it back. I missed couple of other iretired comments. Now he seems to be totally fake: much younger than 41, never been successful manager and never actually cashed out.
