This article also suggestions that besides being a "babe magnet", Franklin had a really sharp humor, and was not a humble person, although he recognized the value of humility.

Here is another site with his advice to a friend about having "affairs".

We know that he had a son out of wedlock prior to his marriage, and we also know that he had affairs after his wife's death. Here is a brief bio.

are there any other bad qualities he had other than affairs
Answered by GuruBlue
Check the first site I gave you, it is suggested that he was not particulary humble, and that he had a very sharp, maybe cutting sense of humor.
Answered by bill
i know but is there any other aspects that were bad that he had about politics or if he was racist
Answered by GuruBlue
He would not have been considered "racist" in his day. That was not a term that would have been used.

Read the brief bio... for his general views.
