However, I find the same thing on the local repeaters when I pass
through, although I maintain up-to-date programming in my radio and I
can hear the repeaters unkey, I don't get any answers to my calls. So
it's not just simplex.

I have noticed the same thing about repeaters when traveling. On one
occasion, I was persistent and a local came back and sed "Lots of folks
here sonny, we just don't have the time to entertain travel folks,
Mostly we talk about corn prices and hog disease."

And I am aware of some Mom and Pop repeaters -- set up for them and they
never answer others.

Funny they always answer my XYL though (;-)

That is funny, but not surprising. The female voices ALWAYS seem to get a
reply. But ya know, those "female" voices can be awfully deceiving. What
you hear, isn't always what you see. Nor does it divulge what may come
along with it.

Being there are only two females in Wyoming -- works everytime.

Yep be careful what you visualize - could be the spittin image of your
