for example, if im going down the elevator of my building. The women neighbors would say good morning, hello, hi to me as they get in the elevator with me. But when it comes to guys, literally none of them would say good morning or hi to me unless they are old such as 50s-60s. When I worked as a security guard a few years ago, the women would be really nice to me. The men would avoid making any eye contact with me and just ignore me. Maybe guy on occasion would say hi or good afternoon.
Haha, you sound a lot like me anon! I've faced that same situation for years: women and older men greet me no problem. But men my age? I don't exist.
Those same men will happily greet more attractive females or someone they like.
No, I'm not saying you're unattractive, so please don't jump to that conclusion. They probably just aren't attracted to you (again, that does not mean you're unattractive; you're probably just not their type), or they are not sure how to approach or talk to you. Or maybe they just don't know you enough to talk to you... I'm sorry but I sure as heck don't just randomly say "hi" to people unless they speak to me first. They might have the same mentality.
If it bothers you that much, try this: next time you see a guy, any guy, just smile as he's approaching or walking past you. You don't even have to speak, just nod or smile at him. He may or may not return the favor, and that's okay. The point is, no, you're not ugly.

Not necessarily. These days whether women realize it or not men aren’t doing a lot of things for women because of a lot of choices women have made or pushed on society in regards to men. Example. The me too movement, sure it was a good thing but it got so extreme that some women were making things up, ruining men’s lives who had done nothing. So a lot of men are confused. If you’re not cute enough, saying hi to a girl may be seen as creepy. Women have accused men of things even for just giving her a compliment. Who wants to take that risk? Men don’t open doors much for women or things like that because now I’m undermining her independence. Men have also been told over the last however many years that we aren’t shit, we don’t need men, we can do everything men can do. That’s why you even see men not stepping up to protect women when she’s getting physically attacked. So if it’s just you in the elevator w a man, it would be easy for him to be accused of something. If it was found to be not true his life would be ruined regardless because society sides w women in almost all cases before the truth even comes out. Again why take the chance. I myself have just waited for another elevator that is empty or has numerous people in it to avoid that. Men are told we have toxic masculinity, etc, etc. Even at my age I’ve stopped doing a lot of things for women, because I don’t want to get accused of things. I wasn’t raised that way. The one positive thing I can say that is also a possibility, if you’re really gorgeous, the only time I will say men can be intimidated by women is if they are gorgeous.
No lol. They don’t know you. They’re just minding their business going where they need to go. Then saying hi doenst mean they’re attracted either.
Just say hi…. And see what they say. Maybe they feel ugly you don’t talk to them
Did you have a face like your profile pic? It may have left them puzzled.

A lot of guys are afraid of being inappropriate and afraid that their friendliness may be mistaken for creepiness. The last thing a guy wants is his neighbor to think he’s creeping on her, especially since he knows where you live.
Nope, you could be beautiful and guys won't make eye contact cause they're shy and afraid you'll reject them
Just men not being raised right.
DEFINITELY NOT
noooooo
