I say hello to people all the time when I'm out jogging. Even had a small conersation when I was jogging on one of the main roads. Pretty entertaining even though most of them have been older men and women lol.
Saying hello is something normal people do. In fact, just the other day when I was waiting at my bus stop, an older gentleman told me "good morning" and I didn't take it as him hitting on me (gasp! shock!).

People around here are odd...

This is so refreshing! (Especially after years in the Seattle Freeze.) If everyone got used to doing this routinely, the shy people wouldn't find it so difficult to approach someone they're interested in.

But you don't know how many men your age have failed to muster a "hello" or even a "hey", in spite of being interested in you. It's not just a C-D phenom.

Why are you charging just men with this problem?

Not really, but I will admit that I have a tendency to be aloof. I generally only notice the ones who actually speak to me.

I think if some people on here would ventue out and have conversations with men and women, they'd lose a lot of there issues.

Hell, today I was at a grocery store, picking up some things, and I said something goofy and it made some people laugh, both men AND women. Now I'm talking to 4 people about something I read on a sausage label. I'm just a goofy individual and I don't care who hears some of the stuff I say. Hell I've been caught singing to myself.

Making mountains out of mole hills.

What's fair? You don't believe there's not one women in the world who would take some harmless interaction with a man to be sexually charged wven when he didn't mean it that way?

that's my point.

The comment seems to infer that men are the only ones guilty of that behavior.
To the OP: Move to N.Y. maybe...
