I could do that as well (I will probably end up doing that.. but I like to pretend like I have self control)

i have had 3 male Betta's one at a time , in with my 90gal community and one in my 46 bow front with guppies and they were fine all of them, never a bit of aggression
keep CLOSE eye on betta , as many said it depends on betta s personallity if he decide to attack them or not , but ,it s not the betta i m worry bout , it s the mollies and platies ... mollies and platies are bad nippers , they destroyed my corwn tail beautiful tails ...
i have never heard of a male betta with other fish, i thought they were solitary bt i guess you can try it. i would watch him lcosely to make sure he doesn't eat hte other fish
I have a male betta in my community tank with an angelfish and a variety of tetras and there has never been a problem, I love having them in the tank; the betta and angel are the most interactive of the fish and are always in a race to be the first to rush to the top of the tank at feeding time.
I've got a male betta in a tank full of endlers, no problems what-so-ever. Stay away from Gouramis and other Betta's obviously. Your mileage may vary, it really comes down the individual betta, but I think chances are good that it'll work out fine.
I once listened to an LFS that told me I could keep a male betta with some male guppies. He shredded the guppies and I had to euthanize one of them. 
I would never recommend keeping a male betta with guppies because of that experience, even though I recognize that every fish is different. It's just too risky IMO.
