  When you see a man and woman walking together, do you automatically see them as 'a couple'?

They are not holding hands or walking very close together and they are roughly the same age.
I'm asking if (without any conscious thought) your mind sees them as a couple, an item, partners.

Maybe. It depends on exactly how close together, if they're talking or laughing, but most of the time yes. I have this game in which I make things up about random people's lives. Like if there's a woman and a baby, I name the baby Fred and his daddy left for another woman named Shirley who is still in college, studying biology.

No..if they were they'd be walking closer or holding hands, I would think. Unless they were older and had kids..in which case..they might be.

Yes, I am guilty of automatically assuming.
BUT if I see two women walking together arm in arm I do not assume they are a couple, nor do I asume it with two old ladies. Two guys, yes, I am guilty of assuming they re a couple

OK, I read the question complety wrong.
No, I do not on any lever automatically think they are a couple.

Generally yes, except in cities/office country. Then it's just as likely two co-workers are walking together.

The real question is: if you see two guys walking together do you wonder if they're jerks?
