I was just wondering this . . . I don't think we get it as much or as early. I think a mom or other female relative is likely to ask this question of a guy when he is much older than girls getting the same question.
Also, I think a guy's family knows that a lot of times men will be dating but not bring their girlfriend home for the holidays for a variety of reasons so won't bring it up.
How often do we har stories about X girl being the first one the parents met even though he has been in the dating game fo years and multiple partners?
Also, and I know this sounds harsh, girls receive more social validity by having a guy than a guy does having a girl. Very little of our social value is determined by us being single or taken. Also, guys don't seem to have a social shelf life, or the shelf life is much longer than the dating female.
