ungroomal optimism

Ungroomal optimism - when a single guy has undying optimism that he'll one day be the groom to the love of his wife/life. He can still be 100, as long as he's still living and optimistic!

The poor guy gets dumped more than a clown in a dunktank. He never complains around anyone about being single; he just has this ungroomal optimism about him.
