    There is a "ring of truth" to this question which is undeniable, although not easily answered or understood.
    Realizing the psychological value of having a spouse and possibly having children and a home called, Family... even if it might be a childless family. It is apparent that there is a value of security which is almost always found within a micro-social setting called, a Relationship.
    Within a secure relationship there are external boundaries in place that allow for the reasonable expectation that the larger social setting called, Life, is therefore obscure from within the relationship, itself. This added sense of security within the micro-social setting affords the benefit of denying some responsibility or obligation to the "outside world."
    Whereas, a single person (male or female) does not enjoy the same benefit of security within a micro-social environment (family) because, for one thing, it doesn't exist and, secondly, any external boundaries that would be initiated (if they could be initiated in a beneficial manner) by a single person would also, then, prevent that person from experiencing the essential involvement needed to secure a relationship to begin with, which would not be beneficial.
    Therefore, most single people tend to feel vulnerable and will inadvertently intensify their internal defense mechanisms, while married couples tend to feel less vulnerable and will often lower their internal defense mechanisms. The symptom of this intesified internal response is displayed as an outward behavior called, "cold" and "distant, " when in reality it a natural expression of being "reserved" and "protective," which is based strictly upon vulnerability.
    Married people can afford to be friendly and approachable. Single people can not afford to be cold and distant. Although it is a strange dynamic, it is certainly an unfortunate reality.
    I hope this answer has helped.

    • Well, Grandma Roses is illiterate, as evidenced by her ratings of some of my answers. This A is a very good explanation!

    • Barely comprehensible; I cannot even tell if you agree with the original premise or not.
