lounge-lizard

Smooth-talking barfly

A lounge lizard is a man who frequents bars, hotel lounges, or other social venues looking to charm women or live off their generosity.

The term suggests someone slick and predatory—well-dressed but idle, more interested in drinks and conquest than honest work: He's been a lounge lizard since his divorce.
