International Bachelors' Day
August 7 · Level 7 · #880 of 2238
This informal day takes a lighthearted look at life outside marriage. It is an occasion to appreciate independence, friendships and the freedom to choose a personal pace without treating marital status as a measure of happiness.
How it is celebrated: there are no established rituals; casual greetings and themed get-togethers play on the freedom to make one's own plans. Time with friends or a favorite hobby fits the occasion.
A bachelor is not necessarily lonely or without a partner: the word describes an unmarried man, rather than his emotional life.
