Popular media personality, Frank Edoho, has weighed in on the ongoing debate about relationship dynamics, suggesting that many women are more drawn to assertive or dominant men—often labeled “bad boys”—who occasionally show kindness, rather than those who are consistently nice.
Speaking on an episode of The Black Table on TVC, Edoho referenced a blog article where women shared the “red flags” they secretly find attractive in potential partners. He explained that the responses reinforced his belief that being overly nice as a man might not always be the best approach in relationships.
“There was an article I saw on a blog that intrigued me. The topic was, ‘What is that red flag that you admire in the opposite sex?’” he said.
“The question was channelled to women. Although, I am of the school of thought that men shouldn’t be nice all the time, the answers I got further my resolve that men should not even be nice at all.
“Women were answering, do you know what I saw? There was one I saw that says, ‘I like it when my man tells me, ‘I don’t want to repeat myself again’.’ She said it turns her on.
“Others said that they like it when their man wax them, not extremely but shows power, it turns them on.
“There are some strange things going on in the minds of these women that you are trying to be nice to. I am not saying all of them are like that but majority of women don’t like nice guys. They want bad guys that are nice to them sometimes.”
Edoho’s remarks have sparked conversation online, with some agreeing with his observations while others challenged the generalization.
