In my opinion what she meant was this...
A man being single means he only has a single woman in his heart and mind ... every woman should be married means every woman should have a life partner....

@Zenbra the interpretation is men want to show themselves single even when married

The women are all married to each other, but men are neither married to men nor women.

Unless there is an odd number of women.

@JoyfulSilence very good. I like that one

@Zenbra I thought she might be a lesbian or a feminist... maybe both? Because in some instances you can get both.
