A suggestion: how about 'don Juan'? After all, thanks to the many tales and other works of art this famous Spanish gentleman became the prototype of a womanizer in quite a few languages.

I have heard this on TV, people using this expression. - yahvey_hoffman, Aug 18, 2012

Say/write él es un Don Juan (He is a womanizer). So Caster's idea is one option.

I heard this said several times in a Spanish-speaking soap opera, to describe a womanizing man.

The Italian adventurer and womanizer Giacomo Girolamo Casanova had a better reputation. At least, among women. ;-) - Castor77, Aug 18, 2012
This is true Castor and in Europe you can say ' a real Casanova' and be understood. - annierats, Aug 18, 2012
We use casanover here , as well as Ian Hill. - ray76, Aug 18, 2012
Ha! I've never heard of being a Cassanova, but an Ian Hill.. it's all too common. - yahvey_hoffman, Aug 18, 2012

"Un mujeriego" is a "ladies' man" or "womanizer"...I have heard it used on TV before...

This is the correct word for Mexico. Not only do you hear it on TV you hear it a lot in the streets as well.

The translater is great and I would add el lobo-wolf.

el lobo que lleva la ropa de ovejas- a wolf in (wearing) sheep's clothing

Look up "Don Juan" in wikkipedia.

A friend of mine told me that the term guey is loosely translated to mean womanizer. - jimmyperry4723, Aug 19, 2012

Ian hill .

But seriously I have no idea , or expertise in that area ,wink have you tried the translator?

Which is a good idea before you ask the question , if you are not satisfied with the

answer , then please come back and someone may be able to help.

and please make sure that you capitalise and use good grammar,

because there are members here who are learning English .

Welcome to the fora mate , y buena suerte .
