lounge lizards

Slick social predators

Lounge lizards are men who hang around bars, hotel lobbies, or other social venues looking to pick up women or live off their generosity.

The term suggests someone sleek and predatory, lurking in comfortable settings rather than doing honest work.

It often implies a man who cultivates a smooth, charming persona to attract wealthy women.

The hotel bar was full of lounge lizards nursing their drinks and eyeing the guests.
