Guppys (Lebistes reticulatus) have been selected and bred for their spectacular colours and flowing fins over many years. The wild fish is nothing like the domesticated fish. The wording of your question implies that bright colours do in fact attract predators. In reality bright colours can also act as very effective camoflage in the wild.
In their original, native state, guppies were never as flashy and colourful as they are seen now. These colours have been achieved through careful selective breeding over a long period of time.
In the wild, male guppies have flashy colours to show off to and attract a mate. The females are virtually colourless to avoid the notice of predators. In aquariums we have increased the colour of both the male and female, but the tendency of the male to be more colourful remains.

One would assume that the brighter, livelier and more "flashy" the male is the more likely he is to gain access to a mate.

To have a flamboyant personality is to be flashy, bright, colorful, unique or different, usually on purpose. "Flamboyant" is occasionally used to describe soneone so wrapped up in their uniqueness that it has reached the point of vanity. It isn't a negative or positive word, but its "good" synonym would be "outgoing and creative" and its "bad" synonym would be "loud and flashy." Hope I helped!
