skirt chaser
Relentless romantic pursuer
A skirt chaser is a man who aggressively pursues women for sex or romance.
The term is mildly disapproving, suggesting someone whose attention to women is excessive or indiscriminate: He had a reputation as a skirt chaser in his younger days.
The image is of a man literally chasing after skirts—a metonym for women.
