Okay, an exercise Brian that might help you.
Look at all these words and pretend they are swear words and not to use them in public. However, an odd one slips through.

Telling indicators: Was, were, had, there, it, lys, have been.
Your first para.
I
was a Night-Club bouncer in my early twenties. I
had women falling for me
regularly.
This isn't a boast. I think the idea of going out with a bouncer may
have been the main attraction, or they got in the Night-club without paying. Either way,
it seemed to
be girl-heaven for me. But I digress. One night a gorgeous feller came in, and later in the night we got talking. He
was a foreign exchange student from . . . one of the colonies, I think? He
had a beautiful toned athletic body, with curly tousled blond hair and a great personality. He dressed
casually but I could see by the way he comported himself
that he'd thought about his dress sense and everything he
had on probably felt right for him.
He'd had an interesting life, but he
wasn't a blow-hard as most of the guys
were in those days.
He'd engaged my interest by being funny.
This always attracted me to girls back then.
Okay, look at all those swear words.

One or two is fine, but you are telling a lot. With your work highlight all the telling indicators and try and reword with stronger more descriptive words, actions and imagery.
Next break it down. I am going to give your character a name. I feel you go way over the top with your I starts and I do think being in first person you automatically go into tell mode.

Phil puffed out his chest and flicked a stray hair from his Burtons suit.
The birds are going to love me tonight. He blew a kiss to his reflection in the ticket booth window.
The manager sauntered over to the nightclub entrance. "Oi, Prince Charming, I'm letting the punters in."
"Yes, Boss." Heat crept up his cheeks.
Okay you need to understand what I have shown there out of one of your sentences. It may not be right to your story or isn't great writing, but I am trying to get you to recognise what info you have told is now shown in this piece.
