Frank Edoho’s comments have definitely stirred up some classic debate about relationships, attraction, and gender dynamics. His take—that many women are more attracted to “bad boys” who show occasional kindness rather than consistently nice guys—isn’t a new idea, but it’s always controversial when someone in the public eye re-ignites it.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the layers to his statement:
“Nice Guys Finish Last” Trope
This idea has been around forever—essentially, that overly nice or accommodating men may be perceived as less attractive or less confident. It ties into certain psychological theories that suggest a level of assertiveness or unpredictability can create emotional excitement and attraction.
Context Matters
What Frank is describing may stem from specific types of “niceness” that come across as passive or lacking boundaries. Confidence, self-respect, and decisiveness tend to be more universally attractive traits than just being “nice.”
Generalization
He does clarify that not all women feel this way, but saying the majority do is still a sweeping generalization. Attraction is incredibly personal and influenced by culture, upbringing, personal trauma or healing, and even media.
The Red Flag Fascination
The idea of women admiring “red flags” could stem from romanticizing certain toxic traits, often portrayed as exciting or passionate in movies, music, and TV. But many grow out of that phase and eventually look for stability, emotional intelligence, and respect in a partner.
