Last (Single) Man Standing
The only bachelor left in his inner circle, one man wonders: What now?
by Dikenta Dike
There will, eventually, be the moment where I swallow my pride, bite the proverbial bullet, and ask for a woman to join me in holy matrimony. The day will come when I’m properly seasoned, where my particular vintage has matured, and where I feel that I am man enough to take the plunge. The measure of a man can be tallied in numerous ways, but when all is said and done, I would want my manhood judged, in part, by the sort of family I helped raise, the type of legacy I’ve left for them, and the sort of values I handed down to them. It’s just the natural order of things and, in time, I’ll come around.

Hola
Have you considered taking up tango classes? Argentine Tango to be exact.Tango allows a person to express their feelings and to connect with their partner. There’s also the chance to meet a number of successful, intelligent, elegant and lovely ladies. Wishing you every happiness.

…the city cowboy.. riding the rails… living large… is debunked… the honesty is haunting… Is the city too large or too small… How is it that amazing people can’t seem to find each other… I vote for the saloon…

a lyrical, achingly honest account from…a single, sane man on the loose in new york city? Single girls, I beseech you, don’t let this fine male specimen lament (or ferment) much longer.

Excellent, sane, insightful perspective from the oft-quiet, secretive “single, normal guy AND available bachelor in NYC. Usually, we hear from the single, professional woman’s angst or worse, the Lori Gottlieb female advice to hurry up, pick anyone, use your eggs & get married. Thanks for sharing & letting us in on your manly thoughts. Maybe someone should create a “Last (Wo)Man Standing” saloon in NYC so all these like-minded folks can meet…
