skirt-chaser
Compulsive romantic pursuer
A skirt-chaser is a man who aggressively pursues women for sex or romance.
The term is mildly derogatory, suggesting someone whose attention to women is excessive or undiscriminating: Her father was a notorious skirt-chaser.
The image is of a man literally chasing after skirts—a metonym for women.
Old-fashioned but still understood.
