ladykillers

Devastatingly attractive men

Ladykillers is the plural of ladykiller—a man who is irresistibly attractive to women.

The term carries a hint of danger or ruthlessness, as if romantic conquest were a kind of predation: He fancied himself a ladykiller, but women saw through the act.

The word is somewhat dated, more common in mid-twentieth-century usage.
