When someone greets you, do you greet them back? Why wouldn't you greet someone back?
Don't worry about that!

If you greet someone and she doesn't greet you back and gives you the cold shoulder, SHE IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!!!!

This is why I don't bother talking to women in pubic, they never answer back.

Sometimes I've had men say hi and totally ignored them because it caught me off guard and felt stupid afterwards because I didn't say anything and didnt want them to think I'm stuck up or something.

He had SR. Men have it in their 30 day cycle.

I pretty much always say something back unless I'm totally out in left field and don't realize that they are talking to me... which does happen sometimes...

Almost automatically. Hell, when I have earbuds in, if someone enters the room I'll take them out just in case....

Not saying hey back is probably one of the rudest things you can do...I mean, it's like they're denying your very existence...

Always. It's almost unfathomable why someone wouldn't reply.

That beautiful person would have just turned into an ugly human being if they purposely ignored the question.

I always say hello, regardless of who is greeting me.

You're right. I thought she was very attractive until she just completely ignored me. I'm not sure if she works with us but if I ever see her again and she ignores me, I'm going to straight up ask her what her deal is.

I honestly rather get a "F**k off" than nothing at all.

Why? Why not just leave it alone?
