What motivates a married women to bring up the subject to a single man may be how happy she perceives her own husband to be. If she perceives him as happy in their marriage, then I would think that her motivation is essentially friendly and helpful. But if she perceives her husband as unhappy or even indifferent, then the motivation may be something different altogether.
As a husband who was completely surprised, even flabbergasted, by how wonderful it was to be a father, and having a wife who knows how I feel about our (now grown) children, I could see her being solicitous of a single man who probably hasn’t a clue of what it means to be not simply a husband but a father.
