They asked me this question, can someone help to understand why?

Question

I was sitting in the employee cafeteria on my lunch break, when this guy sat next me. I knew him because I spoke a little bit of his native language and he thought it was cool that I spoke the language. Anyway he sat next to me and asked me where I learned the language and stuff like that then he asked me if I had a girlfriend in which I replied no. After that he asked me why I didn't have a girlfriend in response I shrugged my shoulders. He sat around for a while told me bye and that was that. Three weeks later another guy from another department asked me the same question the only difference was he was looking around before he asked me "if I had a girlfriend" he to asked why I didn't have a girlfriend when I shrugged my shoulders he made some joke about me not having enough money as the reason why. Then he left. Anyway what was the reason for these guys asking me this question.

Answer 1

THEY WANT YOUR THUNDERCOCK

Answer 2

maybe they think your g*y b/c you couldnt give an answer why you didnt have a girlfriend.

Answer 3

why didn't you ask them yourself? It could have saved a lot of strife for you. At least from hereafter be free to ask the reason to the asker itself whenever u confront such situations.

Answer 4

What I think they are most likely doing is trying to get you to feel bad about your self (just ignore them if their doing so, because they most likely do not have girlfriends too and are trying to look cool/ macho in front of their friends and feel better about themselves by targeting you) or they think your g*y (literally).

Answer 5

Depends on where they are from.

I have some acquaintances at work who are from the Middle East. They can't understand why I'm not married and have asked about it several times. It's a cultural thing - you get married and have children.
