Idk, I think you might be talking this a little too personally. When you go out into public, there will be people. It’s reasonable to expect that you will have to interact with them.

So you think it's reasonable that some dude lectures a woman for not being friendly enough in public? Lol no.

My point is that you can’t go out into the world and expect every stranger to behave in the way you expect them to behave. You’ll understand when you’re older

You need to apply that logic to the greeter. Not everyone is going to want to engage with him, and he should accept that rather than harangue people. He's the one who took it personally. OP was just minding her business. Men like that think that women owe it to them to be a certain way in public and it's an attempt to assert their dominance in a public space. It's gross, and so is defending it. And btw, I'd bet money that I'm older than you.

Lol nobody asked for your advice. You're just bitching on the internet like the rest of us. Men (just guessing) and their unsolicited opinions are the OP's problem in the first place

I’m trying to frame up OPs problem in a solution oriented way, that’s all. Boy am I glad I’m not as pessimistic as you

Well since we’re here and you’re clearly invested in this conversation, why don’t we talk about it? What’s bugging you? Maybe I can help
