Word.
It's far easier to put way too much time into only one of those things ("work" is a default for a lot of men--thank goodness, not all); real strength and maturity (those two are synonymous, if you ask me) for both men AND women means juggling all with aplomb, not barely keeping your head above water. That has always been one of the foremost characteristics in mind when trying to figure out if a relationship was going to work in the long term. "Bad" guys might be alluring, but it doesn't take much insight to see right through it, to their cowardly interior. Usually, most women work it out of their system after 1, maybe 2 bad relationships with those kind of men, if they even made the mistake in the first place.
