When you type "eternal bachelor" into the google, phrases like anti-feminist and, disenfranchised father, and marriage is a losing proposal are some the results.
As a potential eternal bachelor I find these phrases not necessarily the truth.
The key is to stay in your bachelor zone and piss on everything outside it. Hobbies such as drinking, video games, and warhammer are activities guaranteed to keep you in this zone.
At times outside my bachelor bubble, I usually find women so disappointing that I welcome my return ticket.
I am neither anti-feminist nor a disenfranchised father (that I know of). My interest in women is purely superficial I guess. I get tired of everyone. Just the idea of always having someone around annoys me. There is no polite way to request your space from a girlfriend. It is always interpreted as rejection or mischief. And perhaps it is mischief I seek.
An interesting question was raised to me recently.
At what age is one considered an eternal bachelor?
Considering my current age of 28 and my proclivity for making sacrifices and getting along with people, my guess is probably higher than the average. I can for see that young people, those already attached, and those affluent with the other sex would predict an age around mine or possibly even younger. Bachelors older than me, those already divorced, or those that are miserable in marriage should guess an age around 35 or so. Life is quite malleable, so there is always hope of meeting someone I guess. My final anwer to the previous question is 37. If you are 37 and a bachelor there is a greater chance than not that you are destined to be an eternal bachelor.
Maybe one day I will grow up or at least settle on some poor broad.
