as long as we're on this subject, I have a question that I've pondered for some time.

Why is it that when a friend gets married, he/she then only socializes with other married friends and drops the single ones?

I remember when my friend Jeff got hitched back in '89. He NEVER hung around with the single members of our group, only the married ones. And there were no women to complicate matters of avoidance, just men. As the single guys married, I noticed that they would get invited over for BBQ and drinks etc but not the single guys?

Is this subtle peer pressure to tie the knot? Snobbery? A voluntary unwillingness to drag the rest of the guys down with him? What?
