rubber_factory, because they will often introduce you to their hot single friends and relatives! If a married woman is a good cook it's also very common for her to want to make meals for a single guy, but that's more common for older guys and widowers where the married women feel sorry for them that they don't have a woman to take care of them.
We're not talking about them coming around with a tissue to blow your nose, not THAT kind of mothering
As a single man, why on Earth would I want to be "mothered by married women" ?
I'm not totally sure what you mean, but this sounds very unpleasant.
I'm sorry, but some men are so extremely gullible. What I mean to say is, suppose your network of friends are mostly married, and you get a divorce. The women from that network will flock to you, and try to fix you up with dates, invite you over for dinner, to their parties, etc. They will even go as far as making meals for you.
But if your the female of that divorce, those same women will show you very little compassion.
When I was married we had tons of friends...married couples and we traveled all around together. Once I got a divorce, those same women didn't bother any longer and I found a new network of friends.
I'm not saying all women are like this, if I were, I certainly wouldn't have any friends...but the vast majority are, and like I said, I've discussed this with many other single women and men, and the way we as genders are treated is totally different.
Also, as I wrote before, my girlfriend sadly saw this happen to people in a 55+ community where she worked.
It depends onthe situation also,a women may try to fix up single guys who are friends of their husband because they feel uneasy about their husband hanging out with a single guy in some fear that person might lead their husband into cheating when hes looking to meet women..

you have a great point there...never thought of that but again very manipulative
Why is it human beings can be so unaware or unthinking?
When the competition is the greatest, it brings out the worst in people. Among seniors, the female to male ratio must be 4:1. Women who are still married have status. Single available men in this demographic are as rare as whooping cranes. And you wonder why the knives (and casseroles) come out?
Probably similar to a dermatology faculty at an engineering school. An unexplained, but high murder rate? Give me a break!
My mother, a widow, hangs out with all the other widows and they get along fine.
So true! Married women can be interested in single guys to the point of obsession (in a motherly way) especially if they're hoping to set them up with someone. I've noticed this in particular with married mothers being extremely friendly and even getting physical with me (hugging and touching) if they have a single daughter. The moment their daughter is together with some other guy the mother suddenly realizes I (or her husband) might take all the touching the wrong way and usually pulls back to a cool distance.
Younger married women are also typically very outgoing toward single guys and all the more so if they find those guys attractive. It's a cruel joke of life that when you're single and looking most people are nervous about approaching people they find attractive. But when you're happily together with someone you're no longer afraid of talking to those same people.
Come to think of it, if you're a single guy and interested in being introduced to lots of single girls, it's probably not a bad idea to befriend married women and let as many of them as possible realize that you're a great guy.
You are spot on here. I lost track of how many neighbors, friends etc. have shown interest in fixing me up with someone when I started dating again.

I read somewhere it is higher. I don't remember the source, but it said for men over 50, there are 19 single women for each man.

Funny, but are you defending their behavior?
I hang out with both single folks and married folks...and like your mother, we get along fine...but there were some in my past, who right after my seperation and divorce, completely dropped off the face of the earth. It hurt me then, but now I feel, good riddens....

The same was done with me, and I don't get it, why in the world, would anyone push someone into dating by setting them up. I was set up a few times and afterwards, told people, I am not attending if your trying to set me up. It is so unfair and you end up spending the night away with someone who is not even closely compatible? Not to mention, I don't get people, why do they think you have to have someone in your life to be happy????? I really don't get that????
