Russell Crowe, known for his wandering eye as well as his penchant for bar fights, seems to be mending his wanton ways. He recently got engaged to longtime girlfriend Danielle Spencer, proclaiming "I don't get to spend nearly enough time with her. I feel a great need to wake up with her as many days of my life as I can." So we asked Cosmo readers, do you think a man with a rebellious past can really reform, or will he get restless again?

YES: naughty can turn nice

WOMEN 71%

MEN 78%

"There comes a time in every guy's life when the urge to settle down with a life companion becomes too strong to ignore. And when he finds a woman who is his soul mate and who truly loves him, then the unruly persona will dissolve." --Theresa, 38

"Speaking from personal experience, bad boys can definitely reform their behavior. When my fiance was a teenager, he was in and out of jail, sold drugs, cheated on his girlfriends, and was even in a gang. Now, at 23, he is in college, pursuing a degree in business finance, has a 3.5 GPA, and works full-time. He is living proof that bad boys can change into great men." --Nicole, 21

"Anyone can change, but the guy has to want to make that change for it to be permanent. If he's being forced to change, then he'll likely relapse into his old behavior."--Jennifer, 28
