I believe the answer is:

blokey

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'typically male' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bachelor left on love island' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'B' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'left on' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'island' becomes 'key' (I've seen this before).
'b'+'l'+'o'+'key'='BLOKEY'
