4. He is athletic in sports, such as basketball and golf.
5. He is a charismatic ladies' man, as he is able to attract women with his kind heart.
6. Despite frequently teasing his relatives, specifically his uncle Phil and cousin Carlton, he genuinely respects and appreciates them.

Bad Qualities

1. He can be immature, egotistical, and hedonistic at times.
2. There are times where Will was shown in a bad light.
   • His worst moment is in "The Best Laid Plans", when he uses a fake wedding ceremony to trick Monique (played by Kim Fields) into marrying him in order to have sex with her. While he eventually regrets his actions, the act itself was too despicable for Monique to forgive him, resulting in her punching Will in the face and stealing his Uncle Phil's Mercedes as punishment.
