National Bachelor's Day 2024
Bachelor’s Day originated as an Irish tradition that allowed women to initiate dances and propose marriage on Leap Day (as opposed to the tradition of men proposing to women and asking them out to dance). If the man reused the proposal, he was then obligated to buy the woman a silk gown or even a fur coat. In England, on the other hand, a woman was allowed to propose marriage on Leap Day, with the man she proposed to being obliged to buy her new gloves on Easter Sunday if he refused. In other areas of the United Kingdom women could propose to men all throughout leap year.
Today, Bachelor’s day is more about celebrating being a single man more than anything, and there are plenty of reasons to do that, indeed!
