I got the impression that the guy's being spied on. "Phone's tapped anyway"
I think the idea of the "feed them facts" is that he's being watched, even the women he ends up with are just being used to spy on him, and he gives them little bits of info in order to keep them satisfied. This may be factual or a guise he puts up in order to keep himself safe.
It sounds really noir or spy fiction to me.
