It's probably OTT and unnecessary in the workplace, but it's no different to other flirting.

If a female feigned fainting when a male walked in, would you find that acceptable it's a work place not the local am dram society

I worry for anyone who is in a professional environment who feels that is acceptable

Well, as I said, unless he's literally throwing himself down on the floor and causing a scene that embarrasses someone I don't see how it's an issue.
It sounds like a daft hand to the head or something when someone good looking is around.

In the OP he states there's lots of banter and "flirting". I would put this in the same bracket as "banter and flirting" unless he's actively pestering someone in particular/intruding their personal space/being overtly graphic or sexual.

As it is, I don't see why it should be classed as an "inappropriate sexual manner" and other flirting is not.

But, as I also said, if it goes beyond those kind of instances (which it sounds like) then it's a problem.
