bachelorism
Committed to singleness
Bachelorism is the state or lifestyle of being an unmarried man, or the philosophy that favors remaining single.
The term can be neutral—simply describing someone's circumstances—or carry connotations of deliberate avoidance of marriage and domestic commitment: His bachelorism was a point of pride, not a phase.
