Bachelor of Bachelors

Greetings,

This Bachelor would like to extend to you a most hearty welcome. Most will agree that being a bachelor in the city has its perks and its downsides. Some of you out there may think that this blog is going to be devoted to curing you of your bachelor propensities with tips for pairing you up with the mythical "Mrs. Right." Well, that's simply not the case. Bachelorhood is not a disease in need of a cure. In fact, it is a cure in and of itself. It is This Bachelor's firm belief that no man can be a proper contributor to society unless he has had a prolonged period of unabashed and unrepentent bachelordom. It is what used to be called sowing your wild oats. Certainly, there are certain benefits to being in a steady relationship but most of them are counteracted by the mere fact that your Thursday night is not dominated by "Grey's Anatomy." Lapsing bachelor Hugh Hefner once said, "The notion of the single man began in the 1950's. The idea of the bachelor as a separate life was new and obscure." Well, I say it is time for a bachelor's renaissance of sorts. This blog will provide you chaps, so beaten down by the anti-bach agenda, with the tools necessary to be an elegant man about town. Expect features on food, drink, culture, politics, women, fashion and the good life in general...

This site's manifesto comes down to one question. American humorist and wet blanket said of us, "A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever. " I ask, why should we?
