like when I go to church, the other men(I am a man) just shake your hand and they dont' look at you - I notice more and more that the men here in Wisconsin refuse to look anyone in the eye. what's wrong with them? I don't get it.
Not everyone is like that, but the majority are.

It's partly a cultural thing because of where you are. Not every man in your state is German or Scandinavian but a large number are -- I think partly what you have noticed is due to that. (In church congregations too, you have to remember that some were founded by certain ethnic groups -- and you may be witnessing a carryover from days gone by.)
The second thing is that many men avoid eye contact because (1) in primates, it tends to be seen as an aggressive behavior and (2) some men might think your eye contact means that you are interested in them sexually.

It is not polite at all, i am agree with you. So why don't you move somewhere else where you can make an eye contact?
