Why do married people always try to set up their single friends? (wife, guys)

[bicoastal10]

Assuming no one was asked to be set up, why do married people always go out of their way to set up their single friends? Do they subconsciously want their single friends to be married too?

What's the thought process behind them trying to be matchmakers? I rarely see single people trying to set up other single people.

No idea... None of my friends (married or not) try to set me up with men.

I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing...

They want to trap you in a relationship. Then you will be miserable also.

I've never had that happen either, and I have never tried to set other people up... I think that is really awkward, on both ends...

They probably hate that person, so they try to set them up with you.

They assume that if your not married to someone than you are going to be lonely, sad and pathetic for the rest of your life.

They think you guys would be a good match. It's certainly better than a blind date, that's for sure.

No clue. As a married man, I have never gone out of my way to set up a friend behind their back. To my knowledge, my wife has not done this either.

If I knew a friend was looking for somone and I thought I knew someone worth suggesting, I might do that. Without their knowledge or ok? Never.
