Yes and no. I believe it follows a normal curve just like most human
attributes. There are a lot of women who like nice guys. They get
married to nice guys and tend to stay married. Then there are women who
chase the "dangerous" guys when they are young. Some out grow it, some
do not. Most *do* figure it out after a divorce or two.
BTW, The same is true of guys.
