I think the latter is fine and the former is rude. To me, there's never any excuse to not be at least polite. It's totally possible to be polite and
brief.
But... it occurred to me that I think the venue matters too. If this is a house party of 10 people, courtesy is even more key. If it's a nightclub of 300, it's easier to get away with shorter interaction.
Regardless, I think that it's just not that hard to communicate with one's body language and tone, "No, we aren't physically attracted to you but it is actually nice to meet you, and we can take 30 seconds to politely acknowledge your existence."
I also know that I am trigger-happy when it comes to nice manners though. More manners make the world a nicer place.
