"ligón" ??
|
Hi teachers, does anyone know the English equivalent for Spanish "ligón" and "ligona". I know there are many ways you can refer to this, like "he ´s excellent at picking up girls", or " he ´s always on the pull" ... but I ´ve always wondered whether there ´s a specific noun to mean this.

Maybe "player"? However, this also connotes someone who likes the chase and never wants just one, and lies to all of his conquests. |

For a man maybe a philanderer or a womanizer? |

"player" is the current term used among our "youth":
Otherwise, "womanizer" is correct.
