A somewhat old-fashioned term for a desirable woman
recognized by her
preference for, and skillful handling of, men's company. Originating in the days when men and women weren't really
supposed to socialize, this refers to the kind of woman that macho guys actually like bringing along on their adventures. Her style can be anywhere from tomboyish to classy, but the point is, that not only prefers, but understands men, and they respect her for it.
