No, he'd still be creepy.
Lately, a lot of guys have repeated this misconception about "creepy," -- that it just means you're unattractive, and not genuinely unsettling. I'm sure that shields a lot of guy's egos. And maybe, in some cases, creepy really does mean unattractive. But creepy still has it's other meaning too.
That spreadsheet thing would be creepy no matter who did it. Because the guy is trying to approach dating like a math problem (is he socially awkward?). Because he's keeping detailed notes of everyone he's met (who does that?). Because he probably sees women like entries in a spreadsheet.
