How can I stay aware of these false dichotomies?
Good question, I am not sure of the answer
Maybe just by continually asking yourself the question "Is it possible to be both?" and "where is s/he a bad boy where is s/he a good provider?" .
He might be a good provider of money and a bad provider of excitement. Maybe he is an excellent provider of both. He might be a "bad boy" in bed by assuming a role, but a "good boy" when you need him to be.
I think with people they rarely fit a singular label in all stages of their life, and when people talk about label generally have specific things in mind.
If someone says someone is nice , ask him hw did he got that impression, that way you find out what is nice to him. Etc.
I guess , in general, do the thing people call "thinking too much"
