New L.A. magazine celebrates 'single lifestyle'

It took 18 years of marriage for David C. Wright to decide there was nothing wrong with being single.

Now this 65-year-old divorcé is trying to help other unmarried people embrace their lifestyle and shed the stereotype that they're lonely bachelors or cat-loving old maids.

A serial entrepreneur, Wright recently launched Singular, a Los Angeles magazine for singles that doles out advice, travel suggestions and profiles of unmarried people who travel to Tonga, collect vintage sex manuals and play polo when not performing acupuncture.

"We want people to not feel stigmatized," said Wright, who has started eight businesses in the areas of wealth management, real estate and technology, but never before in media. "Whether it's a chapter of your life or longer, it's all right to be single."

"Marriage is like an enclosed castle, those who are outside want to get in, and those inside want to get out. "

Maybe the better approach is to be happy wherever you are, inside or outside.
