It's pretty funny, but I can also see how it's a bit disturbing. Most would agree with me that's it is funny though when you see how harmless and pathetic this guy seems...It's this man that works out just about every day, I'm convinced SOLELY on the purpose of meeting women. I would guess he's 65 or 70 years old, pretty short.
I saw his first saga unfold when a young lady (in her late 30's) asked him to help with some piece of equipment. He jumped all over this and talked with her pretty much the rest of her workout. I should say talked TO her. He's since moved on to another lady doing the same thing, they're obviously not interested in this man 30 years older than them (that they've seen trying to pick up other young ladies). The creepy part is each girl that he has given up on, if they're both in the gym at the same time I'll catch him staring them down from far away, just staring. Wild. People man, people.

is this something unusual?

Isn't that what gyms are FOR??? Nobody in his right mind would go there just to SWEAT and SUFFER:D:D!
(It's not just restricted to older men hitting on WOMEN either.)

Anything to pass the time is ok in my book...but it's sad and unfair if the hitee gives up on the gym because of it:(.

in the city i live in there's a gym specifically for women only simply for this reason. all i want to know is how do women expect men to meet them??

hmm... not sure that thats a quite an unusual thing, i mean ppl got to the grocery stores to meet ppl. ppl these days are just plan desperate, dontcha think?
