Why do mothers try to get their sons to marry?

I sat down with my mom, opened up Plenty of Fish on my laptop, and showed her why I haven't gotten into another relationship. She hasn't asked since!

They probably want grand kids, and figure that there are no downsides for men to get married and have children.

Blissful ignorance basically.

Don't say no. Tell mom that you want to get married. Tell her that you want to marry a rich woman so if she files for divorce she owes you alimony.

Because most women are obsessed with marriage and Mothers are women. That and grandbabies.

I'm in the same boat. My mom has said she wants grandkids and she thinks it's incredibly sad that a man would want to live by himself. This, coming from the women who should have gotten divorced a long time ago because she absolutely hates being married. Different times back then. It was kind of expected.

All you have to do is explain to your mom that with the way things are out there, you stand to lose a lot to lose as a man if you were to make the choice to get married or that relationships take time away from your career or you could just tell her you're gay /s

To answer the question...

Because they see that if their son doesn't marry then other sons don't marry which means they would have never gotten a man which means their daughters won't get men who can take care of them.

It's female solipsism on display. Also they've been sold the disney brand of romance all their lives and want their boy to be Prince Charming and run off with the Princess and live happily ever after.

because of the female in-group preference.

They want grandkids, and they don't really think that they were horrible to their husbands. Therefore, they think if you find a woman, you'll be happy, and you'll make babies. That's really it. There's nothing sinister going on in her head.

Female own-group preference.
