How long is the confrontation between bachelors and married? Probably as much as humanity exists. Therefore, it was impossible to ignore this topic. So, we will understand the intricacies of the question, a bachelor is who he is.
Value
The explanatory dictionary is alien to human emotions, so it is easy for him to answer the question of our study. We’ll start with him. So, if you look into this absolutely wonderful book, then you can find the following definition in it: “A single man”. One more small remark. Young people usually do not fall under the definition of a bachelor. In this sense, it is already given to those who had the opportunity to say goodbye to their freedom and throw all their efforts into establishing a family life, but for some reason they did not take such a step.
Given the mean and tautological definition of an explanatory dictionary, the need for a definition of a concept does not seem to be a whim, but appears to be a necessity. A bachelor is not just a marriage status, it is a state of mind. Moreover, if a man preaches such a philosophy, then society does not condemn, but even encourages, and if a woman does not want to bind herself by marriage, then she is sorry.
Perhaps this is due to the historical understanding of men as heads of families, when it was he who took on all the hardships of social life. In other words, society continues to live in a different age and time. The modern family is different: a wife can earn more, and a husband can do housework and children. In a word, life is more diverse than our ideas about it, let alone outdated.
Bobyl
Apparently, today's study will be held under the flag of stinginess, because there are not very many synonyms, if you get rid of the tautological ones, then one "mare" will come out. A mare is a bachelor, but is every bachelor a mare? Language practice shows that similar words differ in their semantic content. But first, a little about the origin of the concept of "bean."
It used to be called landless peasants. There are different theories of the origin of this word. It was originally believed that the definition came from Scandinavia. In those lands, it meant "hired worker." Similar words are in both English and Lithuanian, and they mean approximately the same thing - “lazy person”, “laziness”, “farm laborer”.
And here we come to a very important point. Analyzing what word a person chooses to characterize an unmarried man, you can understand how he relates to the phenomenon of bachelor life in principle. For example, in the movie “Where is Nofelet?” the mother of the protagonist called her son a bobyl. So, she perceives the loneliness of the offspring as a problem. And, for example, in the film “Love by the rules and without”, the article about the ups and downs of the personal life of the protagonist, Harry Sanborn, was called “The Second Gooddini”. That is, his slipping out of the “noose of marriage” is presented as a victory over the order of things. By the way, if the reader thinks that the word “bearer” is used exclusively by women, then he is mistaken. From men who advocate family values, you can also hear him.
Bachelor and married man
As you might guess, the title contains the antonym for the word "bachelor". But this is a little more than just different concepts. This is a confrontation of values and attitudes. But, it is true, mainly women who advocate good old family values participate in the struggle. As for men, the representatives of both classes secretly envy each other. Single, that married have a family, children, and married, that single have freedom and no obligations to one woman. This is a rather old song: it is human nature to overestimate something that he does not possess. In reality, each position has both pros and cons. Let's take a closer look at each of them.
Life solo: reward or punishment?
A bachelor is wonderful when a person has a lot of money, like Harry Sanborn, and then he is relatively independent and desired not only by his peers, but also, more importantly, by girls much younger. Yes it went. And I would not want to reduce everything to money. But we are not even talking about them, but about the ease that is achieved through successful investment. But the truth is, the film shows American realities, and you can also live carefree in our country - a big question. In Russia, everything is changing too rapidly, and money is depreciating very quickly.
There is one more thing. Wealthy people sometimes regret that they do not have children, there is no one to transfer their capital to. But it’s better to be sad about it than to be tormented by the fact that you have nothing to feed your offspring, although this is a matter of taste.
Family as a prop
If a person has ordinary work, and therefore life, then it is more profitable for him to live in marriage than alone. Why? It is easy to explain. The bachelor (the meaning of the word no longer needs explanation), as a rule, the household part suffers. And this is not the fault of men to the fullest. Society is still guided by old patterns and divides spheres of activity into “female” and “male”. Differentiation also includes work. And due to the fact that archaic representations are still alive. A man does not know how to take care of himself on his own, and a woman waits for the prince to come to her without fail on a white horse.
As a rule, somehow the situation is resolved. The girl agrees on the one who is, and the man, having walked free, exchanges the latter for home comfort and some certainty and stability. In addition, it must be said that the family also acts as a goal-setting center, which an ordinary citizen who failed to find himself in the creative sphere really needs. Marriage provides a fulcrum for both man and woman. Do not think that someone is doing someone a favor. As a result, both sides win.
Are there happy marriages?
As it turned out, the word “bachelor” is not a curse word, in contrast to the same “bobyl”. Solitary existence is a constant subject of nostalgia for married men. If you play honestly, in other words, be faithful to the second half of your marriage, raise money to maintain family well-being, then sometimes you can be sad, because life takes shape, which means it gets stiff. Intrigue and excitement leave her. The chaos of personal life is being replaced by certainty and a new sense of kinship with a loved one. True, the latter, apparently, is accessible to few, because, according to statistics, the percentage of divorces in the country is still quite large. Therefore, the question in the subtitle is far from idle.
The reader can rebuke us and say that somehow everything turned out very cynical. But what about love, that it does not exist? Of course it does. We just put her out of the brackets, for without love there’s nothing to talk about at all. Another thing is that this feeling, no matter how trite it sounds, is broken not only about everyday life, but also about the egoism of people. However, these are only versions. But statistics are made up of individual decisions of people, therefore, each person is responsible for his own family and it is he who decides whether to live or die.
