I don’t know if you meant to be offensive, but I found your comment “a confirmed bachelor usually is terminology for gay.”
Not where I live. It’s offensive because it implies that gay men don’t commit or have serious relationships. That’s just not true.
I’ve heard a few of my straight guy friends call themselves “confirmed bachelors” but never any of my female friends, straight or gay, and never any of my gay male friends.
I just thought that was really weird comment and have never heard of that being code for gay.
