Slang / chick magnet
English term or phrase: chick magnet
Le contexte : suite à une séance de relooking particulièrement efficace, un homme est littéralement transformé et attire tous les regards des filles, à la grande surprise de son copain de toujours qui n'en revient pas. Voici ce qu'il lui dit :"Chick magnet. You are a chick freaking magnet". J'ai trouvé "appât à gonzesses" mais je trouve que ça ne marche pas pour un être humain. Merci pour vos idées !
Une idée pour traduire cela en français ?

neutral  Tony M: But he's really saying "You're going to attract girls", so I don't think it can really be restructured in quite this way...

Gueule d'amour, Beau gosse, Séducteur, Don-Juan, Piège à filles,


Explanation:
Huh.... J'ai perdu le compte là..
BREF, j'aurais traduit par Gueule d'amour moi mais bon...

Resumé du film "Lady Killer": Lucien Bourrache is a legionnaire who captivates any woman he meets, earning him the nickname of Gueule d'Amour....

Better than anything: a picture and its comment!

Alors beau gosse ou pas? Je me demande comment vous réagirez à cette image:
It says it all I think.....
