Why make a Bachelor issue? Well, it seems to me that this lifestyle is of so much interest to so many people. There are so many perspectives on the subject. The bachelor life isn’t all just about going to strip clubs and shacking up with as many women as possible. Now, sure there are those who live this life (and spend many a day trying to remember what happened the night before), but there are also those who enjoy more of a restrained type of bachelor life. There are also those bachelors who do not want to be living a bachelor life (i.e. those ready, willing, and able to get married each and every day of the year). Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

the next time you're around and about, look around and look at a guy. there's only two possibilities: either he's single or with someone. if he's with someone, ask yourself, what is it about him that attractive? even better, if he's single, ask yourself, what is it about him that causes him to remain alone?

with an issue so pertinent to us, we decided to devote an entire issue to it: the bachelor issue. what is it about certain men that make them exude an aura of confidence like Bond just walked in while others appear more dead than the artificial plant. now i know i've lived a rather short life thus far (23 years old), but from my observations, it's one trait that severly seperates us - confidence.

i was 20 or so when i gained my confidence. before, i was your typical nerd with glasses and a heavy emphasis on web programming. but then something within me cliched. i realized i wasn't here to impress anyone or live up to anyone, rather simply, i was here to impress and live up to myself. as corny and trite as that may sound, it's true: if you're truly happy with yourself, the confidence will come.

so as you read this issue, understand the way certain people remain single, and why certain people choose to remain single.
