The person is fond of and easily seduced by women (especially young women) and willing to use money/gift exchange for his pleasure, usually sexually oriented. 2) a young fellow from a rich family. The person will willingly spend money and cover the expense incurred by the so-called friends/brothers he met on the street to show off his generosity towards friends and gain the &quot;number one&quot; position in the group.</p>
