What do you think of this guy's pickup attempt at the gym?

[AreYouSingleFemale]

A balddude with ugly horse-shoe shaped baldness was working out hard at a cycle next to me in the gym. A cute woman walks in and starts working out on a crosstrainer. The balddude abandons his cycle and takes up the crosstrainer next to her. He pretends to focus on workout for a minute or two. Then I hear the following conversation
"Are you just starting your workout?"
"No I started quite sometime ago."
"I see. So how many calories did you burn so far?"
"About 4 kilograms"
"4 kilograms? How could you?!"
"Well once you have been working out, you get back to the previous shape you used to be."
"I would require 4 months to lose 4 kgs. But you said you lost 4 kilos just today. "
"No, how is that possible. I meant I have lost that much over the days".
Balddude's voice stammers quite a bit while he replies as below, I was not surprised seeing he had been working out like a horse before the woman came in and his voice must be drowned with sweat.
"Huh huh, I thought you meant just today that's why I was expressing my surpsise before.."
"Ok"
"I really don't know if I'm just losing water or actually burn fat. It is so hot in here, I sweat so much and just get tired out"
"..."
There was a pause for a few minutes after this, seemed like Balddude did not know how to keep up the talking. Then again
"So since how long you have been coming here?"
"Since about 4 months.."
"I just starting coming this month. I used to go to FitnessOne gym before."
"So why did you stop going there?"
"We used to have company sponsored free membership, but now the offer has been discontinued. So I wanted to try out elsewhere for a while".
"Ok"
"But there is no A/C here, we used to have A/C at FitnessOne. It is so hot in here. I might just as well go back to there after a month"
"Ok" .Her expression was like why is he lying that it is so hot here, as I thought too. As if guessing the meaning of her expression, Balddude says
"It's just that I'm a bit more sensitive to heat.."
"Ok"
"It is quite late to be working out now, isn't it, it is almost going to be 10'o clock."
"Yeah, but it is a Saturday, you don't feel like getting up that early today.."
"Why, you are a heavy Friday night partyer or something?"
"Nothing like that.. just that it is a holiday"
"Atleast I have a valid reason (for being late). I was partying till 12'o clock" (God, was he bragging?)
"Ok"
"I'm Balddude"
"I'm Prussy"

Just when it should start going well, Balddude again makes a long pause thinking hard what to talk. Time runs out for him, as Prussy steps down from the crosstrainer saying
"See you"
"Yeah"

As Prussy walked into the dress change room, I patted Balddude on the shoulder and asked him to catch her when she comes out, and ask her out. When she walked towards the exit, he walked halfway towards her, then gave up. He said to me, "Afterall I did not have an engaging conversation with her. What if she refuses? I will try to have better conversation tomorrow if I see her.". I told him "yeah , you suck at conversation. Even I was bored to death hearing your conversation. You don't know how to flirt with a woman". He seemed offended and then laid down on the mattress and kept looking at the ceiling for a long time.

Do you agree with my observation?

Holy shit. I'm not fuckin readin all that.

Here's the Cliffnotes: Boring bald guy talks to gal at gym. Makes for boring conversation. Sounds like 99% of the male population do when doing a cold approach. That said gyms are terrible places to approach IMO because if you have spare neurons for that sort of thing then you're clearly not working hard enough.

I never clown another man for doing what so many others would be afraid to do

with that being said I think you were right with your observations. instead of analyzing it though, learn from his mistake.

Try and engage the female in convo instead of running an interview like he did. His convo skills were lacking and it showed in the female's disinterest. Not once did he even attempt to put in humor at all and in some parts he sounded like he was whining. No stranger wants to hear your sob stories. They don't care

Also, it seemed like a bad time to holler at the chick in general. My guess was that there was nothing this man could have done to get her attention on him instead of her workout. She seemed disinterested from the get go. That's why I hardly ever holler at chicks while they're working or working out because they're obviously there to do that and not talk. If you must talk to them tho, keep it fast but make an impression. just give her your number and split. If she calls, great. If not, then you've lost nothing.

I was partying till 12'o clock" (God, was he bragging?)

Wow, rock and roll. Surely 12 o clock is the time you should START partying ?
