womanizers

Chasers of skirts

Womanizers are men who pursue casual sexual relationships with many women.

The term carries moral judgment—it implies manipulation, insincerity, or treating women as conquests rather than people.

A womanizer seduces and moves on: He had a reputation as a womanizer who left broken hearts across three continents.

The singular is womanizer.
