Great article and interesting perspective. I think the best counter to Steve's opinions can be found in the book The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. It is just a truism of life that if you are a man, your work must be the most important thing in your life and to be truly fulfilled you "must pursue your truth and give your gift to the world". Steve Pavlina has also stated this here: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/05/how-to-be-a-man/ http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/05/how-to-be-a-man/ If your wife or gf is the most important thing in your life, you are weak willed and are deceiving yourself. Believe it or not, your wife or gf doesn't want to be the most important thing your life!
