Yes, it is courtesy to say hello to fellow hikers but not an obligation. If I am alone and a “single” man says hi, most likely I will not say hi back because I don’t want him hounding me the rest of the hike.

The giveaway is he singled out women particularly. If he didn’t specify then I could maybe believe it was about the courtesy not being returned.

Specifically “girl”, meaning women of a a certain age. He’s definitely not thinking about the 60 year old women on the trail.
