womanizer (noun)
A womanizer is a man who always seems to have a new girlfriend, and who has no hesitation about starting up a new relationship before he's ended the last one. Usually, these relationships are sexual and don't last long, but they can. The noun womanizer comes from the verb womanize, which originally meant "to make effeminate." By the late 1800s, the meaning shifted to mean "to chase women."

Not that I think this is typical of most womanizers, not sure, but one of my exes fit *both* meanings perfectly. This was part of what made him so sweet and charming, was his ability to relate to women, be their friend, and boy did he have a lot of female friends lol! Nice guy, but he did like women a bit too much I think lol.
Thanks for sharing!
And then there's the female equivalent: Man-eater. Like the Hall & Oates song. "Whoa--ohh--here she comes...watch out, boys--she'll chew you up..."
