(Or just any stranger)

..."hey wassup..." or "hi" "hi, how are you?"

How do you usually respond? How loud are you? How is your body lanuage/facial features? How would you feel?

I'd probably respond with a pretty awkward "Hello", because I'm not that used to speaking english and then I would probably think "what does this guy want from me?"

Depends on the situation ^^

Hey
Hey man

to the ladies...

hi
hello
wassup
how you doin? (usually with girls at checkouts at grocery stores... about the only girls I ever see... feel awkward and think I need to try to leave an opening for conversation to make the time waiting for my stuff to get rung trough the checkout seem less awkward).
Usually they seem to ask this question though... I respond 'okay' and then say 'yourself?'
Usually I use my deep smooth voice. I've been told a number of times by girls that got close to me that I have a sexy voice. But I try not to lay it on thick though... not unless I'm doing it as a joke.

Mostly with guys all you'll get from me is eye contact and a nod of the head unless I know you, or have a reason to approach and talk to you.

And girls I'm afraid, if you're not in a service industry and I have a reason to approach you, then you won't even get eye contact for the most part.

This depends on my attitude at the moment too... sometimes I feel more outgoing... sometimes not at all outgoing.

I'd be caught pretty off-guard, considering no one here randomly says hi to someone they don't already know. o.O

"Hi, I'm from the internet..."

Its interesting how you always actually say "Hi" to women but with men you just nod. If I'm close to the person I would nod up, if its someone senior to me I would nod down.

I'm measuring them up... the guys I'm around if you seem weak maybe they'll try to put you down, treat you like their 'bitch', or fight you... putting up a strong front is important. Backing it up with actual action is more important though in the long run... you have to prove your worth or get sent home. With women that I'd say 'hi' to, that is only if there's a reason for me saying 'hi'. Just if they were introduced or something... if there's no reason, then they get no eye contact or greeting at all... just feels too awkward so I completely avoid it.

I'd prolly say like, "um... hi?" And be like... "have we met somewhere before?"
Unless there was that slight chance I recognized anyone from that "let's see the faces" forum... Then if you came up and said hi I'd be really friendly. If I didn't recognize you and you said you were from here I'd prolly think you were that troll come to rape me >_< lol. I'd run away.

sorry, when I said "you" i meant me, or guys in general. As for saying hi to strangers, thats definitely not appropriate here in the city...usually if someone does say hi, they want something.

Like my pants. or what's in them. that's the uncool part of being in a city... creeps like that. But I guess they're in the suburbs and the country too. Bleah, creepy people. Like the old guy who was watching my friend and I messing around at the park. We weren't exactly keeping it G rated, but this guy seriously say on a park bench and just watched us. Didn't even pretend he wasn't. Pedophile, he was like 65 at least. Needless to say we didn't hang around for long after that...

it's drugs. he's trying to sell you drugs.
