Why do some people keep insisting I should be or need to be in a relationship or have children?

Why do some assume that love and reproducing is the key to happiness? My married friend before I stopped her kept insisting I would make a "great mom" and I always get men who are like "why is such a nice/intelligent/pretty girl" like you single? Why all the insisting? I'm hardly in a place where a bf or husband is a good idea let alone a kid.

    Because they cannot understand anyone differing from norms expected by society.

    Because they are in one and have spawns of their own! So from experience I guess but I want to punch people that say that to me!

    It's because the society needs to stop viewing women with a glass tinted by patriarchy.

    Take your time. Ignore those people. Never rush into marriage or some relationship with a man you barely know. It is not worth it at all.

    I used to have a friend who did the same. When she got a boyfriend, she hounded me about getting one. When she married him, she hounded me about getting married. When finally I did get married, and she had had a baby, she hounded me about having a baby. My perception, be it right or wrong. was that if I made the same choices she did, then that would validate her choices.

    They just think you'd be good is all. Just an opinion. They're allowed to have one same as you.
