What's the female equivalent for 'womanizer'?

[bobbieinok]

I suspect whatever it is it's a negative term. 'Womanizer' is positive in a nudge nudge wink wink sort of way

[Skittles]

1. I think it is "maneater"

but I don't see either term as positive - more like calculated people who use members of the opposite sex

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Cougar if they prefer younger men.

3. One equivalent is sl*t, although I wonder if that term is still used.

I could be wrong, but I think people are much less likely to stigmatize women with multiple partners or women who have casual sex than they used to be. I've been with Mr. Femmedem for 20 years, so what do I know? But it seems to be no big deal among my younger friends and in film or tv.

4. Gold digger? (n/t)

6. A typical young female could never endure the amount of sex she is desired for everyday by almost

every male who sees her whether it be hundreds or even thousands, while the average male is almost never successful in finding a female who wants to have sex with him, even a successful "womanizer" may be judged successful by merely finding one or two females a week who are willing to have sex with him.

Science

Females are constantly having to reject countless potential sex partners and find ways to keep them at bay, or from even approaching, while males are constantly having to seek and work at it, measuring success one at a time, or by a dozen or two a year rather than by hundreds a day.
Tit for Tat, both sexes the same, mirror image, etc, therefore humans seeing both as the same and measuring both in the same way sexually isn't real

The female carries a baby, the male spreads his seed.

20. Read that if a man in a bar is trying pick up a woman

he could use a calendar to keep track of his effort. Whereas, a woman could use a stopwatch

21. That is an excellent quote, thanks.

[Marthe48]

23. You're welcome.

It was in a book about James O. Wilson's tome on Socio-biology. I tried to read Wilson's, but didn't have time, 600 some pages iirc. The book with a quote was shorter and pointed out the highlights of the theory.

7. Remember the old song "Runaround Sue?"

[KY_EnviroGuy]

10. Barracuda is sometimes used.

11. Vamp?

12. A Flapper

[Skittles]

16. certainly not Fluffer

[jpak]

17. ....

[Aristus]

24. I imagine the same skills apply.

[The King of Prussia]

13. Trollop perhaps

Pejorative certainly.

[Skittles]

15. my English grandmother called them "tarts"

[smirkymonkey]

14. Nymphomaniac?

Not saying it's a good thing to call a woman, just that it's a term that is used to call a woman who acts like a man who is known to be a "womanizer". I would just call her "experimental" or "highly-sexed".
