Probably...

It is easier to get laid ( as in doing the actual laying) in a nose dragger.The tailwheel will get you laid more just because of overall coolness .Once the laying has started I would just assume be in a nice roomy 207 . In my experience anyway.

err ,, I mean, yea , nosewheel is more forgiving.

There are exceptions to every rule!

Put AK Bushwheels on that taildragger and it'll fix that problem right up.

Always looking for parts to convert a 182B. Not always but at least 2 times a year.

Bad habits? Flying within a margin for landing that assumes "Ah, I can just add flaps and fix the landing on short final."

On the other hand, if have flaps, you lucky ducks, then how's that a bad habit? I don't just shoot for perfection every time I fly because I'm a perfectionist, but also because I don't want to rebuild my plane again and can't afford to replace her.
