When aspirations change in Junior Year I assign the original primary as a secondary, so any time a sim gets an "immature" aspiration - Pleasure, Romance, or Popularity, I'm looking for them to grow up enough by Junior Year to change to a "mature" aspiration - Family, Fortune, Knowledge, without losing their old drives and habits. Some of them don't ever grow into more mature values, though, and that's fine, too. A preponderance of Romance, Pleasure, and Popularity sims in high school giving way to a preponderance of Family, Knowledge, and Fortune, without either set taking over 100%, is pretty realistic in the ways I care about.

Immature aspirations, huh? I guess I never really grew up then lol. I'd totally be Pleasure/Knowledge.

I tend to put such Sims into people-focused roles like the pastor of the church, or teachers in schools. I honestly think that good people-skills are more important in such roles than pure knowledge.
Nice Romance Sims are just like Nice Popularity Sims, except that they like their friends so much that they want to take them all to bed. Many of the Romance Sims in my game are cute, lovable, friendly and generous. I honestly don't see what's not to like.

I think that teachers might require a bit more knowledge than popularity or the students aren't going to learn anything. XD
It again depends on how you like to play. If you want the traditional family with children and monogamy then Romance probably won't be your favourite aspiration. But I don't see the lothario type lifestyle as sexist, because female sims have just as much opportunity to be horn dogs lol.
And you really can have sims with the same aspiration who are totally different. I had one Romance sim who shagged all the guys that she could get her hands on and another one who was totally faithful to his boyfriend, who kept him in platinum by being willing to fulfil every woohoo want he rolled (bed, hottub, public).
