i am a confirmed bachelor (though not gay) as one might think-however what could be classed as alternative type.

A man who is exceedingly bad with women, and he doesn't really know why. He just doesn't have what it takes He's a confirmed bachelor (perpetually single, never married, no kids).

In the 50's this was a polite way of calling a man gay pre-sexual-revolution. After 2008 in the world of Tinder, some straight men are also now confirmed bachelors.
