[quote=Anonymous]OP, congrats on getting in shape and hitting the gym. I think part of the issue is that women in general, and perhaps you in particular, are socialized to be "nice" and to respond politely when someone greets you. I certainly do and I go out of my way to smile at people i know vaguely (gym etc) , make eye contact, etc.

But not everyone is like that. someone people are socially anxious, including my son, who is on the spectrum. I will walk around with him and kids he knows from school will recognize him and call out 'Hey XX!" and he will stare back blankly. Only with someone he feels secure with does he respond.

So, possible this guys on the spectrum. Or he just does't feel the same socialization pressure/be nice that many people do. Or he thinks you're weird or whatever. The point is that there are a million reasons, but you should not let it get to your head. Remember: you do not need anyone's approval, much less a strange guy at the gym.  Be your strong self, stop greeting him and move on. [/quote]
