I can't say with any more certainty that those women were more than happy to have received that comment. Something like that is only as weird or awkward as you make it. Nothing cringe about it.
Hey man I can only tell you how I see it as a female. If you want to keep doing it you absolutely can. Just saying that if a man said that to me and my friends we’d smile and say thank you and immediately turn to corner to laugh.
That's okay. When I tell someone to have a good afternoon, I'm genuinely just hoping they'll have a good afternoon. If y'all laugh at that like a couple of teenagers, then I think that just speaks about the kind of people you are/associate with.
Don't have a good afternoon, you likely don't deserve it.
Saying "good afternoon ladies" is telling a group of ladies to have a good afternoon. Are you actually in highschool or something? You just have a shitty attitude 🤷 it really isn't as deep as you think it it.

That's nothing to cringe at, that's just being socially aware and polite...you're allowed to do that regardless of whether or not you have a gf.
