Why do women always start in about their husbands, boyfriends, etc., with men they've just met?

Question

I go through this nonsense with women of all ages and backgrounds: co-workers, classmates, friends, etc.,

My attitude is always like, "Dude, I don't even know you, and already you're feeding me a bunch of boring, irrelevant B.S. about your gay boyfriend."

Oftentimes it'll be the very first thing a woman says to me, and I'm like, "Dude, if you want advice about your relationship, ask Dr. Phil or write a Dear Abby letter."

My biases aside, I still think it's rude for someone to start discussing such a personal issue (such as their boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife) with someone they've just met for the first time.

I've come very close to actually slapping some women for unleashing this crap on me and (yes, though I may need some anger management) I think I'm certainly within reason to object to this kind of nonsensical behaviour.

No smart-a*s answers, please. I've never pretended to be an expert on women and only want some second honest opinions.

Answer 1

If they are complaining, they are trying to hint that they aren't happy with their partner and maybe want some kind of relationship with you. If they are 'gloating' or saying good things about their partner they are trying to tell you to back off and that they are taken.

Answer 2

It's a polite way of saying, "Please don't try to flirt with me or ask me out--I'm taken!"
