From www.nypost.com – Newly emerged videos of the creepy loner who shot up a gym full of women show his pathetic efforts to connect with the opposite sex — including dabbling in self-help regimens like those hyped by an aging pickup artist.

George Sodini, 48, posted two videos on YouTube last year. In one, he gives a tour of his bachelor pad in Pittsburgh. In the other, he stares blankly at the camera and speaks about how his lack of emotion kept him from finding a girlfriend.

“It is easy for me to hide from my emotions for one more day,” he says, adding, “My objective is to be real and learn to be emotional and to, you know, to be able to emotionally connect with people.”

In an extensive woman-hating manifesto found online after he killed three women and wounded nine others at a Pittsburgh area aerobics class Tuesday, Sodini said he’d been unable to find a girlfriend since 1984 — and hadn’t had sex in nearly 20 years.
