Is it normal that my grandfather says i'm "sexy"?

I am a 33 yo woman and the entire time I was growing up and still to this day my grandfather makes comments to me when I walk into the room: "Lookin good" "Wow, sexy" and "Look at you" complete with whistling. Basically like a guy would if he was calling out to a woman walking down the street.
It's always kind of creeped me out but I also always thought all men of his generation (born in '29) said things like that. Now I'm not so sure.
Is it normal for a grandfather to make comments like this to his granddaughter?

    Hi
    I'm the one who asked this question and I thought i'd respond to some of yours:
    He seems very serious when he's saying it...if i thought he was joking i wouldn't be asking the question on here BUT he does like to joke around...a lot.
    I'm not a model by any means but I am generally considered attractive.
    My self esteem is fine, although it was not so good when I was growing up.
    He makes these comments every time I see him whatever I'm wearing but is more enthusiastic about it if I'm dressed up.
    I don't know if any of that will help you reach a more informed decision or not but since you asked...
    And thanks everyone, you've been really cool (except for that one guy with the lap dance comment). :)

      ... as i said. Chill, he is just trying to be nice.

      I always make nice comments to my mom, about hot she is(altho she really is NOT and she knows it) just to boost her moral. Its kinda the same.

    When my grandpa hugs me, he always says, "Oh, it's good to feel young again." It's so cute.

    What you're pop says to you is a bit on the creepy side, but if it's the only creepy thing he does, then it's probably meant to be nice.

    when a man says to a woman "you are sexy" he simply means "I wanna have sex with you".

    It would make me feel a bit strange. Try wearing some frumpy clothes and no makeup and see if he still calls you sexy. If he does then maybe he is trying to build your confidence or just being nice.

    Gross. Doesn't matter if it's just to be nice or build confidence the fact that he is family is creepy.

    Have you ever asked him about it? Is he saying it in a joking way or seriously? He might not mean it in the way some people think..

    It would definitely make me uncomfortable. He may be trying to make you feel good about yourself but...still creepy.

    Well...put it this way. If he was born way back in 29'...girls NEVER showed any skin, back then. Nowadays, with all the new fashions and girls showing their bodies a lot more...he's probably got a raging hard on think of you in a bikini or some shit. It excites him. Next time for his birthday, do a striptease for him or something. Cherish it!!

    Lol my grandpa does that too! Kind of awkward but I barely get to see him cause he lives on the otherside of the world and he does it in a joking way so my suggestion is just laugh it off! :)
