  1. noun U.K. ladies’ man: a man who seeks out the company of women, especially a genteel young man who flatters older women, often for selfish reasons ( dated informal disapproving ). A guy who is a girl's 'friend'. A shoulder to cry on, a culinary expert to discuss baby aubergines and a buddy to go shopping with.

When you wake up in his bed alone and violated you will be the one crying. > Joe Leon is a poodle faker.
