It means having casual sexual relations with many women without having serious intentions towards them. It can also be used for having a casual fling with one woman with no intention of marrying her. It seems to be used exclusively for men. From philander, lover, from Philander, former literary name for a lover, from Greek philandros, loving or fond of men : phil-, philo-, philo- + anÄr, andr-, man.]
