I had a total of seven rats not long ago, and I'll tell you they all have different personalities. Sam was the 'git off mah lawn, ya whippersnappers!' kind of rat, but he recently passed. Harry, my favorite, was so tame he'd snuggle with me when I slept and I could take him anywhere. He'd sit with me at school, even, and was very pleasant. Sadly, he passed recently as well. We got some new babies, all male, (Darwin, Lester, and Jeeves - hee) and they're sweet as can be. They like to squirm under my arms when I lie down and sit there. Demus is a little.. Special, but his back smells like honey so that's awesome. James narrows his eyes at everyone and looks generally evil. A little nippy, but he'll never break skin and will generally put up with me.
Rats will do some pretty entertaining things. The babies climb the cage like Spider-Man, Sam once wedged himself into a cup and couldn't get out (hilarity), I used to have a rat named Henry that if you laid him on your chest with his face on your cheek and scratched his hinds, he'd lick your face.
I've had males for years now, and I would highly suggest getting them. You get used to the pee dribblies, and they don't smell bad (in my opinion, and I keep the cage clean). Mine all get run of my bed when I let them out, and they love slipping through the layers of blankets and sheets. Try it once, see if they like it!
Hope you get some good ones. :3
